An Angel in the Dark [Solangelo]

Chapter Three~

"Excuse me?"  Asked Nico in disbelief. First of all, who was he to talk to him like that? The boy just grinned cheekily and ignore Nico. Slowly, Nico turned to look at the teacher, his eyebrows furrowed. The class was boring him and he was completely lost. Since he was new and all, he didn't have a single idea of what they were taking. He would have to ask someone for help, but right now, Nico didn't felt like to. 

"Blah blah blah," the teacher seemed to be saying, or at least, that was what he thought she was saying anyway. Nico had never liked school. And it wasn't because he wasn't intelligent, because he was. But he thought the teachers were all boring. He even found himself once falling asleep in the middle of the class in his former school. It had gotten him in trouble, but it was worth it-- he didn't get to see the teacher horrible screwed-up face for a whole hour. 

The bell rang, and yawning slightly, Nico picked up his things and strolled towards his locker -which he had to ask the headmaster where it was, 'cause he had forgotten himself- and replaced some of the books, and closed it, but as he did that, a strangely familiar face showed up, making Nico's heart almost fall off from his chest. It was that blond boy, he remembered, who had commanded him to pay attention to the class. He also seemed to think he was a doctor. 

"What do you want?" Said Nico, rather rudely to the boy. The boy flinched slightly at Nico's rudeness, but nevertheless smiled as he held out his hand. Nico glared at it. Blondy -for thit was Nico's new nickname, as he didn't know the boy's name-, awkwardly, lowered his hand and said, "Will," -Nico rose an eyebrow at this-. "Solace, Will Solace." 

Di Angelo just nodded, and turned to walk away-- He didn't feel in the mood to start a conversation, however, stopped, as he realized Blondy was now following him. He turned to glare at Will, whom had an innocent smile on his face. 

"What are you following me for?" Nico asked him. Will grinned. Oh, great, Nico thought, I have a stalker now. 

"Your accent," said Will, "is cute." 

Nico blushed fifty shades of red in embarrassment; nobody, in the years he had lived in America, had ever complimented his accent. If anything, they laughed at him for it. Nico tried his best to hide it. Apparently, Solace thought it was cute, and Nico couldn't stand that. He was probably making fun of him... Nico glared daggers at Will now. 

"Whatever," spat Nico and tried to walk away from Solace, but the latter was still following him. 

"You seem to be lost," Will said calmly. Nico didn't want to admit it, but Blondy was right, he was indeed lost, for he had lost his schedule. 

"Am not," he lied, embarrassment hinted in his tone. Will giggled behind his back. "Sure are," he teased. "And I happen to have your schedule," Will added as Nico turned to face him once more. He tried to snatch it away from him, but failed as Will raised it, being slightly taller than Nico, the latter couldn't reach it. 

"Give it to me, Solace!" Growled Nico. Will ignored him, though.

"We have the same classes," Will said rather cheerfully. 

If this was an anime, an irk mark would have appeared on Nico's forehead; this Solace guy was getting to his nerves-- 

Without saying a single word, Will grabbed Nico's wrist and pulled him along with him as he walked towards their next class, a certain Italian struggling to get away from the American's grasp, muttering curses in Italian under his breath. 

At last, he gave up.

"Nico!" Hazel scowled at Nico at lunch. "Why'd you leave?"
