Half Blood High (Solangelo)

Detention

Will's Pov

Me in detention? I never got into detention. Well I guess it was worth it just to be in the same room as Nico. The rest of the days lessons kinda passed in a blur as I shared none of them with Nico.

When the final bell went I made my way to up to the Latin corridor and looked for the correct classroom. When I found it I peeked in through the door Nico was there but the teacher wasn't. I opened the door making Nico jump up out of his seat.

"You could have knocked." He said grumpily as he sat back down.

"What, and miss an opportunity to scare the ghost king." I sat down next to him. 

"How did u get here so fast?" I asked him "I left as soon as the bell went"

He looked down at his shoes and muttered something under his breath. 

"What?" 

"I shadow traveled." He looked back up at me "sorry."

"You know what I told you either three full days in the infirmary or no underworldy stuff for at least two months." I tried to look as stern as possible but I couldn't help but smile at how guilty he looked. I leant over and gave him a hug. He stiffened in my arms and I remembered that he had a thing about touching people. I let go of him.

"Sorry I just..." I never thought I'd be glad to see a teacher but when our Latin teacher walked in I sighed in relief.

"Mr Rhetor." I said "I'm really sorry I-"

"Yes, yes Will," he cut me off "I must say I expected better from you. And as for you Di Angelo I've heard many things about you but trouble maker is not one of them." He shook his head slowly,"How long have you been here?" 

"Since the bell went." Nico said. I mentally face palmed, none of the teaches knew about Nico's shadow travel that would be awkward to explain. But Mr Rhetor just brushed it off. 

"You can go then. I have lots of marking to get done." He sat down and didn't look up as me and Nico stood up and left. 

Nico looked like he wanted to say something as we walked downstairs to the front exit so I tried to start up a conversation.

"How was your day?" I cringed. What kind of of a question was that. Nico looked a little bit shocked. "Uhhh it was alright I guess." 

We settled back into silence. I cursed myself that conversation went great Will didn't it. I was so caught up trying to think of a way to get Nico talking I didn't realise we had reached the front door until I walked into it. Nico laughed I turned around and looked at his smiling face. He looked even cuter when he smiled.

"The ghost king does smile." His smile turned into a glare,"Don't call me ghost king."

"Why not it suits you." I chuckled

"Ugh why is everyone so impossible!"

I laughed even harder. "Come on death boy lets go." 

"Death boy is even worse." He muttered under his breath but still followed me out side. I waved goodbye to him at the gates and went home.
