Chapter 9

Though I found myself smiling randomly all the time, I wasn't necessarily always happy.

Sure, my newfound friend and possibly crush Will, had brightened my life, but there was still those not-so-great days.

It was only a few days after my night at Will's. Returning to school, he had acted normal, as if it never happened.

I was confused and conflicted. My brain would constantly stop me from reaching out to Will, figuring out how I felt and how he felt about me. Dark thoughts would swarm my mind every time I opened my mouth to speak.

He still followed me around a bunch, talking my ear off every lunch hour. Yet, I didn't reply often. Will didn't pay much attention to that. I guess he figured I was the quiet type (which I pretty much was) but, sometimes he would stop talking and just give this look.

Today was one of those days. The two of us sat at my usual table, peacefully eating our lunches as Will rambled about something. I had gotten accustomed to the sound of his voice and it comforted me in a way, so when he suddenly stopped talking, I turned to check what was wrong. He was just sitting there watching me, a sad look on his face.

"You alright?" I asked quietly. He smiled softly.

"You never reply. Why not? Do you not like me here?" he asked, leaning forward, my eyes widened in shock at his straightforwardness. I put down my sandwich and shook my head softly.

"I just don't know what to say I guess," I shrug, averting eye contact. My face reddened as his hand reached over and rested lightly on top of mine.

"But are you okay with me being around? I can't tell whether you think I'm a nuisance or something. I can go if you really want," he stuck his bottom lip out and I found myself staring at his soft pink lips.

"D-Don't leave me," I whispered. A smile broke out across his face.

"Wasn't planning on it. Wanna come over after school? We can watch movies again or something." he grinned squeezing my hand lightly before pulling it away.

"I- uh- sure," I sputtered. He could change moods so quickly.

This time we ended up going to a small cafe. We each took our order and sat at a lonely table in the corner.

I lifted the lid and blew softly on the burning hot coffee in attempt to cool it down.

"You're so cute," Will laughed, sitting down across from me. My face heated up but I managed to send him a glare.

"So what's up with you lately? You're always with me what happened to everyone else?" My voice was quiet and a little shaky but, I was trying to start a conversation for once. Will looked at me and grinned.

"Ah everyone's kinda doing their own thing I guess. Percy's got Annabeth now. Jason's chasing after Piper. Frank and I were never that close, so yeah," he shrugged. "Plus. I much prefer you over them."

I smiled shyly and looked down at my coffee. Oh gods... I could feel my heart beating in my chest. Hazel was right. I was falling for him hard.
