NICO POV:
"Hey," the girl from lunch earlier said walking up to
me at my locker.
"Hey," I say grabbing my backpack, "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah I am. My names Amber by the way, I realized I forgot to tell you that earlier," Amber said flushing from embarrassment.
"Your good," I say as Will walks up besides me.
"Hey!" he said to Amber, "So do you want us to just drive you home maybe?"
"I'd rather Nico just walk with me so hopefully they'll see me with him and leave me alone in the future, if that's alright of coarse," Amber answered.
"Fine with me," I say as we start to walk out of the building.
"I'll meet you back at home then?" Will asked as we walked out the front doors of the school.
"Yeah," I say. He leans in and kisses me then walks away to my car.
"Where do you live?" I ask her as we head towards the cross walk.
"I live in the Village," she tells me. "Only a few blocks from that huge mansion, I'm sure you know where that is considering it's the biggest house in the entire neighborhood and stands out like a sore thumb."
I laugh uncomfortably, "Yeah, that's actually my house so I know exactly where it is."
Her jaw dropped, "Wait, so that's not a rumor?"
"Nope," I say, suddenly feeling very self conscious though I have no clue why.
"Damn, is it really nice in the inside too?"
"Yeah it's nice, but I'm about to start redoing to entire thing."
"Oh really, how come?" she questioned.
I pause, trying to come up with an excuse, "Just tired of it, needed a revamp."
"You talk like you live alone?" she noticed.
"Uh, well I live with Will and his mom now," I say scratching the back of my neck nervously.
"What about your parents?"
I take a sharp intake of breath, trying to decide if I wanted to be honest at all. "Their, uh, dead."
Technically only kinda a lie, my mom is dead and my dads dead to me so.
"Oh I'm so sorry," she said looking at me with kind eyes. "My dad died when I was 5, car accident."
I nod my head though I had no clue how to respond to that. "Sorry bout that," I say awkwardly.
There was an awkward pause before she opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by male voice calling from behind us.
"Hey bitch! I see you got yourself a new man whore to play with," it called.
"Why can't you guys just leave me the hell alone?" Amber says in exasperation.
I raised my eyebrow and turned around slowly. "What did you just call me?" I snap at them running my tongue over my top teeth.
The three guys looked at me and a look of realization fell on there faces.
"Diangelo?" One asked in a slightly shaken voice.
"Yep," I drawl.
"What the hell are you doing with her?" another asked, saying her it left a bad taste in his mouth.
"She's my friend, do you have a problem with that?" I take a step closer to them and they all flinch back, making me smirk. As psychotic as it sounds, I love when people look afraid of me.
"N-No sir," the blonde one quivered.
I laughed, "Did you just call me sir?"
"M-Maybe?" he added, taking a step away from me.
"Stop whimpering like a little bitch," I snap at him, taking another step forward. I was probably enjoying this way too much.
"Yeah Daniel, don't be a pussy. It's one guy," another said in a hushed voice.
"You guys are gonna leave Amber alone from now on. Are we clear?" I say through tight teeth.
"What are you her little body guard?" the tallest one said.
"Yeah, something like that," Amber cut in with.
He stepped up so that he was right in front of me. He was a couple inches taller than me, but height has never intimidated me before. "And what are you gonna do about it?"
"If your trying to intimate me, sorry to say it's not working," I say in a mocking way, narrowing my eyes sarcastically at him.
"Rumor has it your on parole so I know you really can't do anything," he says with mock sympathy.
"I may not be able to start it, but I sure as hell with finish it," I growl.
"Mhmm, we'll see about that. Come on guys let get out of here," he smirked motioning for his friends to follow him away.
"If I would have known you were on parole I would have never asked you to this! I'm so sorry," Amber apologized.
"No it's alright, I have a feeling he's all bark and no bite," I shrug.
"Maybe for you," she said chewing her bottom lip.
I put my hand on her shoulder, which is something I have legit never done so I surprised myself. "Hey, I'm not gonna let them fuck with you anymore," I assured her. I don't know why but I felt oddly protective of her.
I noticed her eyes were filling with tears, "They've done it since middle school, I should be used to it." She wiped a tear that slipped from her eye.
"Do you wanna just come back to my place for awhile?" I asked her. "You can finally see the inside of the house."
She smiled softly, "That would be great."
"Alright," I smile back and we walk back to my house.
