The orphanage- solangelo

Will's gay?!

The next day, as I headed into class, Will was following me. We walked in silence, both of us remembering the night before.

But before we walked through the door, I grabbed his wrist.

"Listen, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have freaked out over the storm, and then you wouldn't have come to the orphanage and-"

"Hey, it's okay. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself, okay?"

His eyes started getting teary, "You've changed so much..." Then he turned and walked into the classroom.

I sighed and followed him. I sat in the back corner, where Will was already waiting.

I stared at my lap as more kids filed in. Luke walked over to us.

"Go away." Will said.

"Yeah right." Luke let out a string of insults that were directed at me.

"Hey!" Will stood up.

The boys glared at eachother. Neither backed down.

The teacher wasn't there to stop it.

Luke punched Will.

I yelped and stood up. "Stop!"

Luke shoved me back in my seat.

Will shouted at Luke. Luke shouted back.

"Stop!" I yelled.

They glared at eachother and finally Luke went up front and sat down.

Will glared at him and I whispered, "I know you hate him, but you'll get in trouble for fighting."

He sighed. "I know. I'm sorry. I just...ugh! He just makes me so angry!"

The class started.

By the end of the day, I met Will outside the school.

"Do you want to let Percy come?" He asked.

I nodded. We walked to the orphanage and opened the door. Octavian was waiting for us.

"You brought your friend?" He snarled.

"We just came to get Percy."

"Where are you going to go after that?"

"The park." I lied. Will looked at me curiously, but didn't say anything.

Octavian would never let me go to a friends house. I never had a reason to lie to him, though, until now.

Octavian nodded and said "Be back soon." He grinned evilly.

Ms. Morning walked in and saw Will.

"Who...?"

"This is Will."

"Your...friend?"

"Yeah."
