Reader POV

"Come on (y/n) you can't stay in bed forever"

"Yes I can!"

I made a massive mistake getting into that fight, I didn't think she'd hit back THIS hard.

That little devil managed to convince the teen population on the island that she was talking about her dragon with Hiccup and I went off at her for no reason.

The tables turned so fast, I could barley consent.

As of that little white lie, its spiralled out of control. The only ones knowing the truth, me and Hiccup.

Too scared to leave the house at his point,

I'm terrified of facing the gang because the rumours have spread like a wild fire, some involving Hiccup and some just hitting me harder than I thought.

Words can hurt.

Like, really badly.

"C'mon (y/n) I'm sure everything will be ok, I promise, I'm here to protect you" Hiccup said.

"Promise?"

"Promise"

Slowly getting up and kissing Hiccup on the cheek, I threw on a jacket and followed Hiccup outside, staying close to him as we walked to the academy.

I kept my head down to avoid any judging eyes and pulled Hiccup to go faster.

Walking into the academy, I sat against the wall with my head in my knees.

"(Y/n)! You're up!" Astrid yelled running over to me "you ok, I heard about the rumours..."

I looked up and forced a smile.

"Yeah, they're just rumours" I said.

I glanced over at the gang, all with worried faces rather than judging ones, that made me feel a bit better.

"Lets just get on with training shall we?"

-time skippy (lol doctor who :P)-

Hiccup and the gang insisted I eat at the hall with the rest of the village. No matter how much I denied, they wouldn't take no for an answer.

I sat with my head close to the table and Hiccup rubbing my back in reassurance.

Every so often I would hear.

'Look who's out?' Or 'did you hear what she did to that girl' or 'so over protective!'

I didn't feel like eating, so I didn't get any food. And kept my mouth shut all lunch, just like I should have before.

I leaned up to Hiccup and told him I was going home.

He gave me a kiss goodbye and I ran though the hall on the brink of tears, earning more judgemental looks.

I barged into my room and flopped onto the bed, burring myself in the blankets, fighting the tears that wanted to escape, it was like being back in the 21st century again.

I hope this all blows over soon...
