WOW SO I REALLY OWE YOU GUYS AN EXPLANATION

Okay so to be completely honest, here is why my watt pad updates stopped for nearly two years:

I deleted the app from my iPad (where I did all my writing) and then I had to give the iPad to my dad since he needed it for work. But I didn't get it back. So I ended up just kinda forgetting about my wattpad days, which led to me not writing anything and not redownloading the app and starting my writing back up.

But I figured I should write some more, especially since I've been polishing up my skills over the years, and i think the quality of my writing has gotten better.

So if you guys would please give me another chance and tell me if I should continue writing or not, and if you want me to, I will do my very very best to keep all of my stories alive for you guys!

So please enjoy this LOOOONNNGGG overdue update.

Chapter 8

Hiccup's POV

I stared lazily into my locker as I heard footsteps nearing me before a hand slammed my locker closed.

"Okay yep try and give me another prosthetic limb thank you." I stated blandly as I looked into the angry eyes of Flynn. "Can I help you?"

"What the hell dude. Why didn't you sit with me in English?" He questioned, almost as if he was interrogating me. "Are you siding with Jack?"

"I'm not getting involved in your guys' shit again. Last time that happened both of you almost got expelled cause you started a food fight in the cafeteria." I replied as I clicked the lock on my locker door closed and spun the dial. "So until you two work this out, keep me out of it." I snapped slightly and turned towards my next class, leaving a frustrated Flynn at my locker.

"Hiccup! Dude wait up!" I heard Jack's voice behind me as the flapping of his flip flops caught up to me. My face scrunched slightly, I figured he was probably gonna say something about English today. "What the hell's going on with Flynn?"

"Well from what i heard he's got no car right now, he can't use his phone unless he's making a call to his parents, and he isn't allowed to go anywhere except school." I summarized. "Basically his life is shit right now and he's taking it out on everyone else."

"Maybe he shouldn't have gone to a Tiffany party. Oh did you hear that Taylor V. was at that party?"

"Wait, Taylor Vonderach?" I questioned, slightly shocked.

"Yeah! I heard from James that she got totally wasted and ended up sleeping with Zach, even though her and Will are dating."

"Once a cheater, always a cheater." I mumbled.

"Woah no need to get upset dude, I know she cheated on you last year with Will but come on, it's in the past." Jack stated.

"I don't think you understand what being cheated on feels like."

"You're right, I don't." Jack threw his hands up in defense. "I thought you were past it?"

"I am but I hate seeing her do it to someone else. Especially Will, he's a nice guy. I don't think he deserves that kind of treatment."

"Yeah you're right. You think Will knows?"

"No. He may be nice but he's as dense as a brick wall. He probably doesn't even know that Taylor got drunk." I shrugged as I turned towards the locker room.

"What an unlucky guy. Being stuck with Taylor Vonderach. Well see ya later Hiccup!" Jack waved as he walked past the doors to the locker room. I walked in and was treated by James.

"Yo dude we're doing an actual work out today!" He cheered as he shook my shoulders.

"Quit shaking me you stereotypical instagram jock. Don't you have some kind of protein shake you have to make?" I said sarcastically and laughed along with him.

"Well I gotta stay fit cause football tryouts are the end of this week. I'm going for running back." He smirked.

"Isn't Adrian going for running back?"

"Oh shit Adrian's going for running back? Shit that kid played soccer no way I'm beating him." James shook his head slightly. "So I'm assuming you heard about what Taylor V did."

"Yeah, Jack told me on my way over."

"Man trigger warning for you right?" James laughed and nudged me in the side with his elbow as I changed my shirt. "I think I might tell Will."

"Do what you want, that's your best friend she cheated on."

"Dude she made cheer captain!" James suddenly spurt out.

"No way, again? Wasn't she captain for the freshman squad last year?" I asked, stunned.

"Did you really expect any different, Hiccup?" Jeremy said as he past me.

"Point taken." I stated and grabbed my running shoes. "Well I'm glad to know that the cheerleaders are spicing it up." I said sarcastically as I slipped the sneaker on and tied it in a double knot.

"At this rate she's gonna make the Pom team." James told.

"Those girls are a bunch of sluts. I timed how long they would hold their Pom-poms during the rally and guess how long it was."

"How long?" He asked.

"18 seconds dude." I said. "And about 43 seconds into the entire routine they flashed their asses to the entire school."

"How would a high school even get away with that?" James asked with a light tone.

"Who knows at this point. I just choose to not pay attention to the cheerleaders. In all of my experiences with them, they've been trouble."

"Gotta go for the volleyball girls dude." James stated as we walked out into our designated roll spots on the gym floor.

"Greetings Astrid." I smiled and sat down in front of a familiar head of blonde hair.

"And greetings to you, Hiccup." She smiled back and readjusted her legs so she was sitting cross-legged. "What's going on with Jack and Flynn?"

"Oh Flynn is just being himself and taking his own problems out on everyone else." I shrugged.

"What happened?"

"He got drunk one night and ended up getting alcohol poisoning so he had to go to the hospital. Needless to say, his parents were incredibly displeased with his actions."

"Wow. How long are him and Jack gonna be at each other's throats?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Until Flynn realizes he's being a dumbass and apologizes." I answered as the teacher walked out and began checking people off.

/-time skip-\
/-lunch-\

I walked into the cafeteria and saw Jack and Flynn sitting at two different tables, trying to wave me over to sit next to them. My face dropped into a deadpan expression as I went to talk to Jack for a brief minute.

"I'm done dealing with this. Go over there and just tell him you're sorry or something. Whatever is going on between you two is just getting to be a nuisance at this point." I lectured.

"I didn't even do anything wrong! It's Flynn, he's just getting mad at everyone because he fucked up!" Jack retaliated. I sighed and walked over to Flynn and sat across from him, arms folding over each other on the table.

"Did Jack try to convince you that I'm in the wrong here?" He asked with an annoyed tone.

"You are in the wrong here dumbass." I replied blankly.

"How?!"

"Dude you're taking your anger out on Jack! We get it, you're upset that you're parents punished you but hey, it was your own fault! You made a dumb decision to got blackout drunk at a party and then you had to go get your stomach pumped. That's no one's fault but yours." I paused to take a breath. "Now, like I told Jack, I'm done dealing with you two. You better pull yourself together and apologize to him. And stop drinking because football tryouts are on Friday and you've got some serious competition. Adrian is going for running back and I'm pretty sure Jeremy is shooting for quarterback." I stared at him, awaiting a response.

"Shit." He sighed. "I've been a fucking asshole. I'm sorry."

"No duh. But I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." I replied and pointed to the pale figure that hunched over a sandwich at the next table over. Flynn got up and began to talk to Jack, which I assumed was an apology since I couldn't hear them over the chatter of the cafeteria. They both smiled and began to laugh, signaling to me that they had made up. I stood and plopped down next to jack. "Are you two done being drama queens?"

"Yes, we are." Flynn smiled.

"I'm getting you a tiara that says drama queen on it." Jack said to Flynn before laughing.

"No way man I want a pink mug that says that! And make sure the words are in gold glitter." Flynn replied with even more sarcasm.

"Yes your highness." We all laughed and ate our lunches peacefully.

I hope you guys enjoyed this and again, I know it's so so so so late and I do really apologize for all of this delay. Like seriously, I know quite a few people liked this story and to have it just suddenly end must've been a bummer.

But I'm planning to keep the wattpad app for a bit since it doesn't seem to be taking up too much space.

So tell me if you want me to keep writing this story!
