The next day, Nico woke up late. He brushed his teeth, dressed up, combed his hair and ran to class.

He went through the cafeteria, through the atheneum and got to the corridor just in time.
As he was opening the class door, he sighted a blonde boy with the corner of his left eye.
His gaze drifted immediately on the boy, just to be disappointed.

He had no freckles. It wasn't Will.

Nico entered the class knowing he had looked for Will in a complete stranger.
Would Will do that too?
Would Nico ever see him?

Nico's doubts got shut down when the teacher recalled his attention. Nico was brought back to reality by her irritated voice.

<<Di Angelo, pay attention to class!>> She screamed. Nico nodded but almost immediately his thought went back to Will.

His plan for the day was to go into the bookshop and buy Will's favourite book.
The Goldfinch. He wondered what attracted Will into that book as Nico had never heard of it.

That day seemed to never be over.

Finally the lessons ended and Nico was now free to go buy that book.
He was so joyful, eventually he could gift something special to Will as well.
