"Jelsa!" Anna screams, throwing her arms out as if she meant to present a silver platter to me.
"Jelsa?" Jack asks softly yet amused.
"It's your ship name and it's easier than saying 'Jack and Elsa." Rapunzel explains.
"Oh ok. Or you could just say Jack and Elsa and save us from confusion." I reply as if it's no big deal. Well; it is. Anna rolls her eyes at my reply and signs 'peace'. We talked about different things like hair colours, fashion, classes, food, places and memories. Then a subject was brought up out of the blue.
"How many children do you want to have in the future?" Anna asks, surprising me in how genuinely curious she was. When at home she usually avoided this subject when Olaf tried to talk about it.
"Two." Jack and I say simultaneously. I look at Jack the same time he looks at me. We both look back to see the rest of the group either smirking or smiling like the 'Cheshire Cat' from 'Alice in Wonderland'. We quickly drop the subject and move onto a different topic.
Hiccup's P.O.V
I said goodbye to the group to head off to tech with Mr C.Varney. I get confused sometimes as one is Clank and the other is Cody, they are both married. They both tech but Cody, or as he lets us call him Cookie, is the cover teacher for Clank when he's off but he sometimes drops in to check on Clank.
"Hiccup!" A voice calls behind me. I turn around to see Astrid running to me.
"Astrid?" I say, resulting in it sounding like a question.
"Are you going to tech with the Varneys'?" She asks, breathing quickly.
"Yeah. Is that your next class?" I ask with curiosity.
"Yes. Can I walk with you?" She asks, her cheeks flushed.
"Of course." I reply as we start to walk.
'OOOOOH! Aren't you a lucky dragon?'
'What are you talking about? It's just Astrid.'
'Yeah exactly. It's just Astrid.'
'Just shut up.'
"Hiccup?" Astrid asks.
"Yes?"
"Are you okay?" She asks a little amused.
'What did I do? Did I do something? Oh gosh she must think I'm crazy!' She starts giggling as I look at her in confusion.
"You thought out loud." She replied. Wow how cliché. That's the sort of things you read in soppy romance novels.
"Wow. That was very cliché of me." I say with a smirk.
"You had your cliché moments as a child. But the rest of the time you were either sweet or weird with no in-between." She states as we reach the class. We, along with about twenty other people, take our seats and chat while we wait for the Varney couple.
"Good afternoon class. Today we will be designing a robotic animal in your folders. After the designing stage is complete, you will hand me your folders with the designs and you will receive a mark. If it is above seven you will move on to put your designs onto the computer and store them in the class memory pen. In the title state the material that needs to be laser cut and, if it is required, a colour. The rest of the materials will be in your folder which will be handed to me so I can give you the materials. If it was marked below seven, I will have written a note on what you need to improve on a sticky note and you will re do it. Is that understood?" Mr Varney says sternly. We all nod and start our designs.
"What are you going to do?" Astrid asks.
"A dragon. You?"
"I was going to do a tiger but a dragon seems way cooler, I hope you don't mind." She says, happy about the new idea.
"Of course I don't mind. I'm sure others will be doing a dragon anyway." I say shrugging. I turn to my sketchbook and the ideas flow out onto the paper.
I slam my locker shut and head to my car. I hear giggling behind me. I look and see Astrid giggling with Merida beside her smiling.
'She looks beautiful.' I think to myself.
'Who.'
'What do you mean?'
'Who looks beautiful?'
'I'm still not getting it.'
'There are two girls there.'
'Astrid. Her smile, full of sweet words. Her eyes, full of comfort. Her hair, beautifully styled. Her actions, cautious but soothing.'
'And Merida.'
'Merida?'
'Yes. What do you think of Merida?'
'Well. Merida. Her smile is so bright, it could light up the town. Her smirk full of mischief. Her eyes, full of emotions that speak for her when she won't. Her hair, she doesn't even need to try. Her actions? Fun and playful, alert and sensitive, comforting and caring.'
'Oh boy you whipped.'
'No I'm not. I just know Merida better than Astrid.'
'Are you sure?'
I don't know.
I enter the car and speed off before they notice me staring. I unlock the door and I run upstairs to start on my homework. I rummage through my bag to find my technology folder and sketchbook to find it missing. Damn! I must have left it at school. Mumbling under my breath I run to my car and drive back to school. Thank goodness I noticed now and not later. I get to school, spot my locker and head home once I find my sketchbook. Once I get to my room I do my homework and I surf the web, finding posts from magazine websites and news channels. Thanks to my parents I don't really have a privet life.
My parents are the owners and founders of Cloudjumper, 'the' search engine. It is the most famous. They have buildings across the globe. I've been to a few of the buildings for the opening ceremony and they are awesome. Each floor has a different theme. But that means that the cameras are around me, just like Jack, Kristoff and Flynn.
Jack's Parents are the owners and founders to Ice, a popular brand of technology; the Ice Phone being the most famous. Kristoff's parent's or should I say his mother owns the Ice-picks coffee company. Famous for their good tasting coffee and wide range to choose from. Here where we all live, you would see an Ice-picks on most of the streets but it is well known around the globe. Flynn's parents own the Fitzherbert's franchise, a well-known multi-national conglomerate.
I could say the same for Merida and Punzie. Merida's parents own Viking Airlines. They have planes, airports and flights all over the world. Punzie's parents own the Sun's jewellery which is a very well-known brand for their high quality jewellery, but they also own a small floating lantern company. Anna and Elsa? Well, I don't know what their past is but I know they used to live in a big mansion, around the same size as mine, if not then bigger. I had a project with Elsa four years ago. My mind finds its way to school. The events of today still fresh in my mind, the conversations I had with my friend's still reciting over and over. I gaze out my bedroom window to the house next door. That's where Merida lives.
Her bedroom light is on and her curtains are open. She's standing on her balcony which is directly across from mine and is staring outside, up to the dark, starry sky. As I watch her more I notice her talking to herself. She shakes a little, before putting her head on downcast, and she then shakes violently. I open the window to my balcony and I watch her a little longer.
"Are you okay Merida?" I ask. She looks up, her face glowing in the moonlight, accenting the wet tear trails fresh on her cheeks.
"Aym fine." She replies. Her voice breaking a little.
"No. You're not." I state, now very concerned.
"Don't worry about me. Aym fine." She states, trying to mask the sadness in her voice.
"Mer, I'm right here. You know you can tell me anything." I say. One look at her is all that makes me want to go over and hug her. One look and I want her in my arms, to stroke her hair and to whisper soft sayings in her ear, just to make sure she feels better. One look and my heart breaks knowing she is crying.
"Somethings are just better left unsaid." She says, not bothering to hide the brokenness that tears me apart. She gives me a small, yet beautiful smile before walking into her room and sealing her access to the outside world. And I do the same. I get ready for bed and it makes me feel even better when I climb into it. My cat Toothless joins me and I soon drift off to sleep.
