Being a socially awkward teenager nervous about his first day of school after his father insisted on transferring him here after the semester had already started was perfectly normal, Hiccup assured himself. At least that was one thing normal about him.
He adjusted the heavy backpack on his shoulders, like a physical metaphor of his enthusiasm to be here. He should probably peel his sorry butt off the wall and look for his classroom. Navigation was so much harder with moving obstacles blocking your sight and impeding your ability to walk in a straight line.
“C’mon, Hiccup. Just a little more than a year until you graduate and then you can hole yourself up in your room and be a disappointment until Dad kicks you out and makes you work like an adult,” he told himself sarcastically. The pep talk had started out with a genuine intention to boost his self confidence, but when his self-esteem issues met the concept called positivity, his brain didn’t compute.
Room 308. He just had to get to room 308 and sulk in the back until the end of school. He craned his neck over the crowd of heads. He had really shot up over the summer, and could probably even be considered tall, but was used to walking with his head down, and wasn’t familiar with being able to look over people’s heads. It didn’t help anyway; teenagers were leaning against classroom doors or walls and lockers and it made it hard to read the room numbers. What did that door say? Room -
“Ooof!” he collided with a body in front of him, knocking his chin against something hard - a cheekbone, maybe? Or a nose. He frantically tried to regain his balance, thankful no papers had gone flying. His chin smarted and he began to babble.
“Odin I’m so sor-”
“Watch where you’re going!” the person snapped. Oh, great. This someone was annoyed. He sighed and looked up at them, and every thought eddied out of his head in an instant.
Standing in front of him was the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen. She was a couple inches shorter than him, his chin must’ve hit her forehead. Her arms were crossed and she was glaring at him with mesmerizing blue eyes, the color a mix of turquoise and sapphire. She had golden blonde bangs swept to the side of her face and a thick braid down her back. Her arms were crossed over her chest, obscuring the large, loud design of a graphic skull on her shirt. A short red skirt with spikes followed on top of ripped black leggings. He quickly cast his eyes back up to her face so she didn’t think he was ogling her; her deepened scowl told him she’d already thought so. Her round face was perfect, with no makeup except for some drastic eyeliner wings.
The angry slant of her brows and the fearsome scowl on her face were the most attractive expressions he had ever seen.
“I-I’m really sorry, I’m new here-” she raised her brows.
“New to the school or new to being able to watch where you’re going?” she asked sarcastically.
Holy Helheim this girl was funny too. Hiccup was practically in love. Oh no, he was probably staring at her stupidly.
“First days are never fun,” she conceded, like she was irritated with having to show sympathy. “So I’ll show you where to go wherever you need to go and give you some pointers so this never happens again. I don’t like to be bothered by other kids.”
“Okay,” Hiccup agreed happily. Anything to spend more time with her. And she was talking to him, without him having to try and start an awkward conversation first! This was more than he could’ve hoped.
“Where’s your homeroom?”
“Uh, 308.” Her exasperated face fell into annoyance.
“Great,” she muttered, half to herself. “We have the same homeroom.” The day was just getting better. He was starting to like school. She huffed and started walking down the hall, not bothering to check if Hiccup was following her yet. He stared after her for a minute.
hey there, it's been a while. Sorry for not being very active, it's hard to find motivation to do stuff sometimes...
but here is my contribution for the HiJack Week 2020 and of course it's PN!au.
Hiccup wants to skate like his cool (and handsome) punk friend so Jack tries to help him so he won't get any more bruses. Too bad (or luckily Xþ) Jack has to get close to provied assistance.
The art goes a long with a fanfic @toopliss-chewtoy made for today.

“Jack! Have you seen my pens! I’m going to be late for my class if I don’t leave!” Hayden called out in a panic, pushing the contents of his dorm desk draws around searching for his inking pens, the ones he had been using for an art project in his class. They had been there just a half an hour ago when he had been sketching before he got up to get around for his class. His roommate, Jack, had a bit of a habit of taking his things and using them and then not putting them back. It got rather annoying and frustrating at times too, especially if it was his art supplies.
Another school year, a new school, and a terrified junior student. Henry Hamish Haddock had moved to Burgess this year just in time to start a school year at the public high school. Really the only reason he had left was because of his father's job. He didn't mind though, he hadn't really had friends there. He had been too focused on school to bother with being social. Having terrible anxiety with just about everything didn't help much either.
With a sigh Henry pushed up his too big sleeves on his hoodie and walked in. All his clothes were too big(he could thank his father for that. ), his hair was a mess, and his thick framed glasses slipped down his nose. He moved fast through the halls trying to keep out of the way and get to class as quick as possible.
Sadly though between not knowing the school and the massive amount of people clogging the hallways Henry was barely able to make it there on time.
Henry wasn't one to sit in the back of class. He had always been a star student, taking some of the hardest classes the schools had to offer. He had to do well, his education was his ticket to college. There was only so much a single father could do for his son, and even working two jobs it was going to be hard to get Henry through college. So Henry did his best to get straight A's so he could get the scholarships he needed to get into college. As he walked in he noticed the class was almost full, and only a few seats were left in a back. The first thing he felt was panic. He wasn't use to this, it didn't feel right to him. He was use to being in front! But he swallowed his panic and trudged to the back, setting his bag on his desk pulling out the books he needed. Forest green eyes glanced around the room, analyzing his surroundings. Everyone looked so much older. It must have been a senior dominated class.
