Finally it's time for lunch. I think about skipping it, since I really don't feel motivated at all to enter this room full of people, but I'm too hungry, since I haven't eat anything since my breakfast yesterday.
On the hallways I walk past Charlie, he nods in my direction, but he doesn't say anything. I take it as a friendly way to show me that he doesn't want to be my friend. Understandable.
Who wants to be the friend of a scary freak?
After I got my food, that looks better than I expected it to do, I don't know what to do. There are students on every table, so I can't sit down anywhere. Since eating awkwardly standing in a corner is still better than standing lost in the middle of a cafeteria I decide to do this, but when I lay against the wall in the empties corner I can find in the big room I can hear a soft voice from the shadows
'There's a empty classroom right next to this room, no one uses it. You could eat there.' the di Angelo boy appears next to me and I hate myself for how much I'm happy to see him. I just realize how upset I was when he wasn't at school the whole day.
I'm also angry at him, without him I wouldn't be in all this trouble and I still don't even know his first name, but of course this isn't his fault. He didn't ask me to fight this idiot.
'Uhm, thanks.' I say awkwardly and then we leave the cafeteria.
We enter a small classroom that doesn't looks like it gets cleaned regularly. There are just two tables and five seeds in the room, and also a blackboard someone wrote 'Our little group has always been and always will until the end' on.
I don't know what that means, but I'm pretty sure I know who I would have to ask.
Nico looks like he would feel really home in this room.
I sit down at one of the tables and start to eat.
'Are you hanging out here a lot?' I ask the boy
'Sometimes. It's a good place to be, no one else comes here.' I feel really pleased that he decided to share this place with me. This must mean he doesn't hate me as much as it seemed yesterday. Probably it also means that really no one ever tried to be friendly to him.
'So, how I said, I'm Will. And you?' I try to start a conversation.
The boy sat down on the floor in front of the door and looks up to me 'Nico'.
Nico...that's a pretty beautiful name.
'That's Italian, isn't it?'
'Yes. We moved here years ago.'
I would like to ask Nico some more questions, but I don't want to get to personal.
He would be annoyed and probably tell me to leave. What I really don't want.
Even he doesn't say a word for the rest of the time, it's nice to sit here with him.I walk home from my first evening with the caretaker. I had to pick up trash in the whole school, what actually took really long and was really boring, but I won't argue with the fact that I deserve it.
Now I have to do some homework, my parents won't be home yet, so I don't have to talk to anyone, what's fine.
My dad is a popular medicine, if you should have asked this (yes, also doctors can be popular, he healed some things everyone said you can't heal and stuff like this), so he has to work very long, and after work he usually gets invited to partys and stuff. That's one of the reasons we move so much. All America wants him.
After I finished homework I go to bed, but I can't sleep.
I have always been happy to go to school, it had always been a good time, but now it isn't anymore.
Sure, some day everyone would forget about everything, but I wouldn't stay here that long.
The only good thing today was Nico, and he said about two sentences to me, it didn't looked like he would be interested in more conversation.
But he's...interesting.
And also kinda attractive.
But that's not the point.
It doesn't matter anyway.
