NICO'S POV

This kid was going to be something. He looked over at me, glanced up and down, and blushed like I'd asked some personal question. This kid who was dressed in punk black and had one ear pierced three times was blushing at me. Then he started stammering. Stammering!
"Oh, hi. I'm, ah, Will." He murmured, blushing more.
I raised my eyebrows. "I know." I replied quietly. The bell rang and a few "See ya later!"s and "Meet you a lunch!"es could be heard from the group. I walked away without a sound, but was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I stiffened. No one touches me. I looked back at the hand and saw it belonged to Will.
"Don't touch me." I hissed and he let go.
"Sorry. I just need to know where room 18 is." His ocean blue eyes looked into my soul, I swear, melting it a bit.
I sighed. "It's this way, come on." I trudged down the hallway and he followed behind me. Lucky for him I had Biology first too.
"So are you a Sophomore?" Will asked, sliding up beside me.
"Yes." I answered, not looking at him.
"Cool. You look younger though." He continued.
"Yeah. I skipped a grade. I'm only 14."
"Wow. That must've been complicated for your social life." Will said glancing at me.
I stopped and looked at him. He was one of the few people who had even remotely mentioned my social life. He stopped too "What?"
"You just actually cared about the social part of it. You know, instead of just being like, 'Wow you must be really smart.' " I answered, and started walking again.
Will followed behind me. "Yeah, well, I know what it's like to have your life fucked with. My parents got divorced when I was 8 and I moved to Washington state with my father. I left everything behind." He looked at the room in front of us. "Is this it?"
I looked at him again. "Yeah. This is it." And you Will, are not what I thought.

~(time skip cause class is boring)~

Ether Will is incredibly stupid, or I am way smarter than I thought. I mean, he's had almost all of his classes with me all day. I feel like I have a groupie or something. Every time I turn around he's behind me and smiling his pearly whites at me, rubbing in the fact he has perfect teeth. It's not my faulty I need braces.
Lunch was awkward. Leo kept shooting peas across the table at Piper and already has a detention, and Percy and Calypso were smooching it up in the corner. It's like they do it on purpose. Like they know I hate it. Annabeth talked to Will for the whole time 'catching up' or whatever. Frank and Hazel made polite conversation with us before leaving to go to a normal people tae with some of Frank's friends. Jason kept smiling at me like he knew something. He wishes.
After lunch we had band . One of the Muse sisters was in today, though I don't know which one. I play the flute. I love it. I know, I know. It's a 'girly' instrument and it's so 'gay' that a guy would play it. I just like the way it sounds. It has a beautiful sound to it and it makes me feel better. Gets out some bad energy. The gods* know I have enough of that.
I was having a great day until I realized, I have gym on my schedule this year. And Will's in my gym class. Damn his beauty. And damn locker rooms without stalls.
