Me: GUYS!!! COME HERE!!!

Vicky: not that freak again

Me: I heard that

Alex: ugh, what is it ?

Grace: why did you called us?

Me: we are reacting to a book called Night Rider , book by GeminiHaddock

Ryan: well what are we waiting for then

Me: alright I shall read it

Chapter one

Hiccup Haddock

I walked down the hallway of Berk High trying to stay as invisible as possible. All I had to do was get to my locker and get to class without being seen. Doesn't sound too hard, but I'm the main target for bullies. It's hard.

Lily: awww poor thing

Melody: I feel you bro , I feel you

Me:

I reach my locker and unlock it as fast as I can. I grab my books and shut the door thinking I might actually make it to class without any problems. But of course that would never happen.

"Hey Hiccup" Great name, I know. I don't know what my mother was thinking when she gave me that as my second name.

Vicky: oh Hiccup, you always make me laugh with your name

Sam: well that's....an interesting name I must say

Ethan: you mean completely.... *gets cut off by Roses hand on his mouth* -_-

Rose: don't make fun of the poor thing Ethan

Vicky: he isn't that innocent anymore,  I mean if you saw him now....

Me: shh let me read .....

I turned around to see Scott, football team captain and most 'popular' boy in school. Also, the biggest bully.

"Hey Scott" I said slowely, eyeing the boy.

"Better get going or you're gonna be late for class" I wasn't sure what to say. He was obviously planning something.

Grace: you think?! Just run!!

Rachel: exactly, don't let him do anything to you , just run!!!

Zander: how will running help him in any way ?

Rose: *shrugs*

Me:

I went to walk off when I noticed his foot moving. He was going to trip me. I could avoid it. Very easily. But I had a reputation to uphold. So I let him trip me.

Vicky: Zack remind me to slap Hiccup when we get back

Zack: why?

Vicky: cause he is a freaking idiot, he just wants to act lame in front of others, why won't he just avoid it and be like "boom beat that beach (I done that because I wanted to)" and be swag and stuff, but he has some 'reputation' to uphold, that's just ridiculous.

Alex: I agree kinda

Me: let's get back to this

Laughter running through the hall as my face hit the floor. My books sprawled around me and Scott stood with a smug look on his face. Sometimes I really wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. But I want people to think I'm not capable, so I don't.

Grace: *facepalms* i don't get him anymore

Me: just listen okay

Ever since I've been to this school, I've been picked on for my size. Just because I'm small and skinny, they think I'm weak. Well, I was small. I've grown over to 6"3 in the past year and I have some hidden muscles but no one seems to have noticed. Which isn't that bad actually. They still think I'm weak because I'm still somewhat skinny though. But that's my life.

Vicky: Hiccup,  you are hot , don't be ridiculous

Thomas: you do know you said it out loud , right ?

Vicky: well someone had to

Josh: *shakes head*

Me:

I scooped up my books and raced off down the halls, Scott calling after me.

"Hey Useless! Going so soon?" I ignored him and walked quickly into my first period, English class. I spotted my only friend, Fisher, at the back. I said hello and sat down. As soon as I did he started talking about the dragon race from the day before.

Lily: dragons ?

Ryan: that's new

Vicky: at least not for us

Melody: okay then

Me:

In case you didn't know , dragon racing is one of the most popular sports around. It's sort of like Grand Prix or Formula 1.  Riders guide their dragons around a race course for a certain amount of laps.

"Dagger and Treacherous were neck and neck until half way through and then Night Rider came out of no where and he best them both by 3 whole minutes! That guy is awesome!" I nodded then turned to look at some girls on the other side of the class giggling about how hot Night Rider is.

Vicky: wow Hiccup, look at that they love you

Rachel: how can you know it's him if they don't say it is?

Vicky: I have my ways

Me: *roles eyes*

Another important detail. Night Rider is one of the most famous, if not THE most famous dragon rider in the races. Ever since 2 years ago, he hasn't lost. But no one knows who he is. His helmet covers his face and he never talks to the press. He's a total mystery, which is probably one of the reasons he's so popular.

But what no one knows, is that I'm Night Rider. This is why I pretend to trip and act weak. I want people to think I am because I don't want the attention.

Lily: that makes sense

Vicky: alright I can take that

Sam: yeah too much attention isn't so good, it's annoying

Alex: well I totally know what he feels like

Ethan: *rises eyebrows at her*

Alex: never mind

Me:

The only reason I found out I was good at dragon racing was when I took in an injured dragon and helped him fly again. He can't fly without me. I used to ride him just for exercise but then I found out how fast he was. And I decided to enter a race. And we won. And I loved it. Ever since then, we win every race.

Fisher was still rambling on about dragon races in the background while I was lost in thoughts. The door opened and I looked up to see who had entered. It was Astrid.

Lily: aww I bet he has a crush on her

Rose: this is going to be adorible

Vicky: I can live with that

Ethan: jeez , fangirls these days

Zack: I shall agree with you mate

Me: *roles eyes*

Astrid, the most popular girl in school. Head of the track team. Pretty and athletic. Every guy in school likes her. I'd had a crush on her since we were kids but she turned down anyone that asked her out. She'd never want to go out with me. Maybe if she knew I was Night Rider, but I want people to like me for who I am. That's why I wear a mask.

It wasn't long after that the class started. The teacher droning on and on. I had listened. I kept glancing at Astrid on the other side of the room sitting next to her friend Ruff. No one actually knew Ruffs name, she just insisted they call her that. Her twin connection or whatever. He goes by Tucker now, which I THINK is the actual name.

Soon class was over and the next one started, and so on until the end of the day. I was so happy to leave. I wanted to go home and ride Toothless, my dragon. I jumped into my car and sped off. It wasn't long before I pulled up in front of my house. No one knew, but I was rich.

Vicky: are you freaking kidding me? Hiccup how and what and when?!

Zack: well maybe we will soon find out

Vicky: remind me to slap him twice then

Me:

My dad is a famous boxer....

Zack: I told you

Vicky: yeah yeah

Me:

Stoic the Vast is what they called him. Not suprising considering his size.

I walked through the front door and was practically tackled by Sharpshot. He's my other dragon. Yes, I have two dragons. I rescued them. A friend of mine works in the Dragon Endangerment Association and knowing I have enough money to , asked me to take them in.

Sharpshot was caught by Dragon Trappers and used in illegal Dragon Fighting somewhere in Mexico. When he was rescued they realised that he's terrified of other dragons and had been visiting my friend in the facility where they'd been taking care of him. I didn't know anything but I picked him and pet him and my friend asked me if I'd take him in since I was clearly one of the only people he trusted.

Toothless had been caught by hunters and then left to die. The DEA  had found him and set him free but had soon realized he couldn't fly due to having a missing tail fin.my friend asked me to take him in as well and I was more then happy to.

I walked my empty house with Sharpshot on my shoulder heading for thr library. I walked up to thr bookcase that housed an old Nor see dictionary and pulled on the leather bound book. The bookcase shifted and I pushed it forwards. I walked down the stairs, through my private workshop and into my private gym.

My dad doesn't know they're down here. He's never home so it wasn't hard hard to dig a basement into the hill we live on. I'm sure he'd love to know that I work out daily and that I'm a famous racer, but like everyone else, I want him to like me for me, not for Rider. Not that he likes Dragon Racing anyway. He doesn't consider a sport thag involves a machine or an animal doing all the work. Even though Toothless and I are a team. He's been pushing for me to be interested in boxing for years, but I never was, and because of that I'm a disappointment to him.

Melody: that's messed up, he should love his son for who he is and not be disappointed just because he doesn't do what he wants him to do

Sam: yeah I agree

Grace: it's really unfair

Alex: yep it is

Me: let's continue

I walked over to the double doors that led to the forest at the back of our house. As soon as I pushed them open, I was pushed down by a black blur.

"Hey Toothless" I said with a smile. He got off so I could stand up and I scratched him under the chin. He loves it when I do that. I walked over to the freezer in the corner of the room and pulled out a couple of Cod, his favourite fish. I order them especially for him and the guy I buy them from always gives me strange looks. I'd tell him why I buy so much so often but I don't think he'd believe me.

Toothless , Sharpshot and I sit watching the last race. Sharpshot curled up against my leg and Toothless laying his head in my lap. I always watch my races trying to spot anything unusual. Other riders suddenly getting faster, Toothless being too unsteady on a turn, any possible way to improve. I decided Toothless' tail fin needs some adjustments. But I have to do if the next day or I'll be late for work.

I say goodbye to the dragons shutting up the gym and the workshop and closing the secret library entrance. I rush to my car and drive off pulling up outside The Forge. It's a mechanics shop owned by a guy of the lovely name Gobber.  Why he called it "The Forge" is beyond me. Apparently it's some kind of joke he had with himself.

Josh: *tries not to laugh*

Thomas: *turns red from holding back laughter*

Rachel: *roles eyes* Boys

Me:

"Hey Gobber!" I called as I walked in and dumped my keys and my phone on my desk.

" There you are lad! I was wondering when you'd show up!" He leaned out from behind a car with his gab-toothed smile. "There's a bike just been brought in. Needs a new exhaust"

I nodded myself a quick meal ate half and gave the other half to Sharpshot before heading upstairs to bed. I opened the large window and let the black mass comfortable on my bed I got between the covers. He moved his wing to cover me like every night and I sighted in bliss as I felt the warm scales against my skin.

As I drifted to sleep I couldn't help but wonder what the next day would hold.

*closes the book*

Sam: that was so interesting,  and it was only the first chapter , wow

Rose: i think I will read this book in my free time

Vicky: I'll do that too , while hitting hiccup with it

Alex: we heard it already

Vicky: good

Thomas: well can we end this now

Me: oh yeah sure, well I hope you enjoyed this chapter and if you have any suggestions for the next one, feel free to tell me , and I may also make them all react to your books or to your favourite books or movies, now bye

All: bye
