Welcome back to yet another chapter!
Nico's POV:
The rest of the day passed pretty quickly, I sat in a stall the whole lunch period, then got through my last couple of classes, surprisingly, Will made them go by faster. Now all I have to do is wait for the bell so I can go home.
I tap my fingers on the table and glare at the clock. Move faster. 3..,2..,1 BRINNGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! I grab my stuff and run out the door. Finally! Only 179 days to go! In the hall, I try to find Hazel. But it's really hard when you can't see over anyone. I curse. Guess I'll just wait outside. I navigate to the exit and push through the doors. Then I find a picnic bench to go sit on. Come ON Hazel how long could it possibly take to get outside? I sigh and decide to people watch. But when I turn around, I see the three kids I've been trying to avoid. Coming right towards me. "Oh goodie. Octopus and his minions are coming to visit." The scrawny leader comes right up into my personal space and grins (menacingly?) down at me. "Hey midget, didn't wanna say hi to us?"
I roll my eyes and ignore him. "Hey! Speak when your spoken to." The one with black hair says. I glare at them. "What do you want" I spit. Octopus smirks at me. "We just wanna talk!" He sits down on the table. I get up and try to walk away. That's what mom always said. If you're in a situation you don't want to be in, walk away. But then I got pulled backwards by my bag. "Where do you think you're going?" Blond with the scar asks. I pull away but scar face is surprisingly strong. "Let me go" I say quietly. They all smirk. "No" the leader says "I don't think we will."
I hear my moms voice in my mind. But if they don't let you walk away. Prenderli a calci in culo. Before I can comprehend what I'm doing, I punch scar face right in the jaw.
He falls backwards onto the ground. The others stare at me in shock for a minute before they sneer and attack me. I dodge both of their punches and throw another punch at the black haired kid, but I don't make contact because scar face grabs my foot and drags me down. I land on my back, which effectively knocks the wind out of me. In my peripheral vision, I see a crowd gathering around. Then I feel a sting on my cheek Was that a punch? Ha! My dad does wayyyy better. I refocus on the fight. Leader dude is drawing back his arm for another punch, And the two other guys are advancing. I huff. I'm winning this. When scrawny blond extends his arm, I move my head to the right to avoid the blow, then I quickly grab his wrist. I yank on his arm while pushing up on his stomach with my feet. He flips over my head and knocks into scar face. I backward roll to my feet just as black haired kid tries to shove me over. I duck, and judo flip him like a pro right on top of the other idiots. "Fucking morons." I mutter.
Somebody says my name and I realize I'm standing in the middle of a huge crowd. Well shit. I turn towards the voice And see Will standing with his arms crossed. He looks mad for a second but then he sees my face and turns concerned. "Are you okay?" The crowd starts clearing up now that the fights over. I'm confused. The punch I got on my cheek shouldn't start bruising for a few minutes. Even then it shouldn't look that bad because that was a really weak punch. "Um yeah, why do you ask?"
Will walks to me "Are you joking? You have a black eye! And your face is all scraped up!" He reaches his hand up to my eye but I flinch away instinctively. His face turns even more concerned and he looks like he's about to say something when Hazel runs up to us. "NICO! WHAT THE HECK! HOW'D YOU GET IN A FIGHT ON THE FIRST FRICKING DAY?!?!?!?!" She doesn't ask about my face because she knows its not from the fight, but she does ask about everything else. While I'm answering all her questions, I notice Will studying me, like he's trying to figure something out. What? I mouth to him. He just shrugs and continues watching me. I roll my eyes.
