Chapter 5

The next morning Merida woke up earlier than usual, and thought about what had happened between her and Jack the night before.

'Was it a dream?' She thought to herself. Jack had hated her all these years, or so she thought, but maybe Mavis was right after all.

Merida got dressed in her robes and decided she should probably tell the guys what had happened at breakfast. As quick as she could she walked out of her room and towards the great hall where breakfast was being served, out of breath she sat down next to Astrid.

"Jeez someone's hungry." Astrid laughed as she looked at her panting friend.

"I have something to tell you and its crazy so just don't interrupt and listen, okay?"

"Uh...okay what's up?"

"Last night Jack kissed me and I kissed him back and it happened so quickly but I think I liked it and I'm pretty sure he liked it too."

Astrid stared at Merida, awestruck.

"Merida, since when do you make out with Jack Frost? I thought you hated each other?"

"We did, well I don't know I thought we did." Merida looked down with a small smile, remembering what it was like the night before.

"Oh my God you like him don't you? This is huge! You have to tell Hiccup and Rapunzel."

"No! I don't know, I'm gonna tell them though."

At that same moment Jack walked into the hall with Eugene at his side, Merida stared at him waiting for him to look over at her.

When he did, Merida smiled at him but it was not returned. He just ignored her and looked away.

Astrid watching the whole thing saw how Merida looked upset and confused.

"I bet he didn't see you Mer, don't worry about it! Why don't you talk to him later, aren't you at Quidditch practise later after Slytherin? Talk to him then."

"Yeah I will." Merida waved goodbye to Astrid and walked out the hall to get ready for her lessons of the day. If Jack was so up for kissing her last night, why was he completely blanking her now?

**********************************************

Later that day after lessons had finished, Merida had some free time before Quidditch practise (in which she is a seeker) to tell Hiccup and Rapunzel what happened.

"I knew it!" Rapunzel shouted with a smile across her face.

"But Rapunzel he did ignore her this morning." Hiccup said looking concerned.

"I know that's why I'm worried to talk to him."

"Oh Mer! Don't worry I bet it's nothing, finally we can go on double dates, for sure this time."

"Hey what about me and Astrid?" Hiccup said faking being upset.

"Yeah you guys come too, triple dates!" Rapunzel squealed.

"I don't know you guys, something seems off about it."

"Yeah Merida, remember what you and Jack have been like all these years..." Hiccup started getting a punch in the arm from Rapunzel, "all I'm trying to say is he's pranked you many times before, why wouldn't this just be another prank? Just try and not get your hopes up, just in case."

"I think you're right Hiccup, anyway I have to go you two, I'll see you later?"

They both nodded as Merida walked towards the changing rooms to get ready for Quidditch.
