Hiccup's POV

Astrid and I sat on our beds not moving a muscle. Okay, so that was a lie. I was on my laptop creating the website for Rapunzel's fashion line. Astrid was the one who had all her limbs crossed, and was staring straight ahead at the door. 

In all honesty, I wouldn't mind it if Astrid and I lived the whole year out in silence. What was really surprising to me was the fact that she hadn't attempted to kill me...yet. I looked away from the laptop and towards Astrid's bed only to see that it had been vacated. The front door to the dorm was closed, and I hadn't heard it open, so that meant that Astrid had gone to take a shower. 

I took this as my chance to get off the bed and look through the mini-fridge for something to eat. Apples, a sandwich, cheese-sticks, and fruit snacks. I choose fruit snacks. I took the package and crawled back onto my bed to keep on working on Punz's website until it was time for class tomorrow.

The next morning when I woke up I saw that Astrid's bed had been neatly made and she was nowhere in sight. Praise Odin! I rolled off the bed and went to take a quick shower, brush my teeth, and head for my first class.

By the time I was out in the courtyard that led to the different class buildings, I saw that I wasn't as late as I thought I'd be. Suddenly, I saw a flash of white hair, and knew immediately it was Jack. He and Punz had made a bet that whoever got to the fountain in the courtyard first got free lunch, and Jack wasn't one to pass up free food.

"I win!" He yelled as he placed his pinkie finger on the fountain. "You owe me lunch." He smirked at an out-of-breath Rapunzel.

"Idiots." I said. 

"Hey!" 

"Hey!" The both yelled, and followed me as I walked to class.

"So....how's being Astrid's roommate going?" Jack asked, as if he didn't already know.

"Don't remind me about that." I groaned.

"Alright, then what class do you have first?" He asked instead

"Biology." 

"Oh, I have....calculus." Punz said as the smile dropped from her face. Rapunzel was going to go to business school after college, so math and calculus were kind of a must-know for business. Still, she hated it.

"What about you Frost Boy?" I asked

"Mmmm......Chemistry." He said. Jack, on the other hand, was studying to become a scientist. He always told me that he dreamt of being a scientist that studied winter. Jack had always had a fascination for winter.

"Cool." I said

"You know who else is going to be in chem?" Jack asked with his signature smirk on his face.

"Who else?" Punz asked rolling her eyes. We both anticipated the answer. Jack had been telling us about it since the day he found out that she had been accepted into Disneyworks University. He had even done a ridiculous happy dance when he found out. Punz and I had secretly filmed it all.

"Elsa!" He yelled

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!" Punz and I both scolded.

"Whoops...Elsa!" He said quietly.

"Well...I have to head to class, but I'll see you two goofballs later." Punz said and went towards the math building.

"Good luck with Elsa." I said patting Jack on the shoulder and heading for the bio class.

When I got through the door, the first thing I was greeted with was a bucket labeled "Phones".

"Please put you phone in the bucket and take your seat." An old man said. I retrieved my phone from my pocket, turned it to silent, and put it in the bucket. I turned around and took a seat in the corner of the middle row The door opened again, and a blonde braid was the first thing I saw. Just great. I ignored Astrid's wandering eye, and waited for everyone to come in and sit down.

Once everyone was in the room, the professor went to the chalkboard (who even uses that anymore?) And wrote his name in cursive. Professor Weselton.

"Hello class, I'm Professor Weselton, and you'll find that I'm very old fashioned...." I zoned out after he'd told us that he was old fashioned. It didn't take a detective to figure that out. Why was I even taking this class again? I wanted to become a lawyer, not a scientist. I twiddled my thumbs for what seemed like ages before I heard my name.

"And Mr. Haddock what is the scientific name for the Venus Flytrap?" 

"Uh...um...it's-"

"Dionaea Muscipula....Sir." I heard Astrid say. You've got to be kidding.

"Very good Ms. Hofferson, maybe you can give Mr. Haddock a lesson on plants." Weselton said. While the rest of the class had a good laugh, I was groaning, and cursing Astrid to Neptune and back.
