An AU where Hiccup is the bad boy and Astrid is a nerd!

He's a hot, sexy, popular bad boy. She's a sad, lonely, depressed girl. He has friends. She's bullied. He has a great life. She has a miserable life. He's rich. She has to work for a living. He's clean. She self harms. Hiccup Hayden Haddock III and Astrid Raina Hofferson. They were from different backrounds. He never knew she existed until they were paired together on a project. He starts to see how miserable her life is and how much she hates it. WARNING!!!!!!! Will contain abuse, heavy language and yes sexual content! I srongly suggest being no younger than 13-14 before reading this!

Astrid's mother was an abusive alcoholic. Her father was a liar. She experienced little kindness since her father took her from her mother. Before then, he was the best...or as close to "best" as you can get in Astrid's world. When she starts going to school again, she has no idea how to adapt to her surroundings...her skills are useless for the time being. All her life she's been put down, lied to, abused in all different forms, and...given away. Will a certain boy be able to show her her true worth? Will she ever trust a word anyone ever says again? Will she ever be safe? Slow updates This is my first story of 2018!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOO!!!!!!!!!
