Everything I'm Not ~ Solangelo

Chapter 3

When I exited math class, I was surprised to see Will standing in the hall, waiting for me. "Hey, Nico!" he exclaimed. 

"What are you doing?" I asked. 

"I'm waiting for you."

"Why?"

"So I can walk you to class."

I sighed, "You don't have to do that."

Will smiled, "I know, I just want to."

I glared at him, "Are you stalking me or something?"

Will suddenly looked confused, "No, of course not. Why? Am I bothering you?"

"Yes." 

"Sorry, you just look lonely," Will said. 

"I like being alone," I answered. 

"How can you like being alone?" Will asked. "No one likes being alone."

"Yeah? Well, I do." I snarled. I turned and hurried away from him.

"Wait!" Will called. He caught up with me, "I'm sorry for annoying you. What can I do to fix it?"

"You can go away," I replied.

He didn't seem satisfied with my answer. "You know, it wouldn't hurt to open up a little bit," he said softly. 

I sighed, "You know what? Fine! Walk me to class all you want, Will. As long as it makes you happy!"

Will's face lit up, "Great! I'll go with you every day all year long!" Will continued to ramble on about how great this was going to be. This was going to be a long year.
