what is this? high school musical?

-Nico, same day-

the light in Will's eyes seemed as if it were sucked out by a vacuum. i grabbed onto his arm to make sure he didn't somehow manage to fall and follow his gazed towards the other end of the room. there was percy, greeting his mom and father, mr. gabe.

   i turned to Will and said softly, "Will, let's go baby."

   he hesitated but let me guide him towards the doors. unfortunately, the devil greeted us at the exit. "hello boys," his sick, raspy voice that i could only imagine a villain in a movie having, spoke. "where you off to?"

   "it's a school night," i hissed.

   "this is just a simple party with chaperones," he spoke back. "you know, junior year is very stressful. a small get together shouldn't be too much of a hassle."

   i looked over at his family, his wife wiping off ice cream from percy's nose as if he were a young child. they were so oblivious. i turned back to him and said sternly, "we have studying to do."

   "oh," mr. gabe said calmly though i could notice his shirt tighten as he flexed in anger. "for what?"

   "for none of your business."

   "is that any way to speak to an adult?"

   "it's my way."

   "stop," Will said, snapping out his shock. he rolled his eyes dramatically. "ready to go, neeks?"

   "i was born ready," i said, fighting the urge to kiss Will just to piss of the motherfucker even more.

   "William, may i have a word with you?"

   "about what?"

   "tutoring."

   oh hell no. "sorry, he's busy. tutoring me."

   an awkward silence came over us. gabe tensed, Will's face turn red, and i was shaking. i cleared my throat, regained my sense of reality, and grabbed Will's hand to walk him outside.

   as we walked out all that Will said was, "we don't have a car."

   i just then remembered we took the van. i wasn't going to go back in to that hell hole, though. "we could call someone."

"i'll call Leo," Will suggested. i nodded reassuringly. after he convinced Leo to pick us up he turned back to me. i was shivering from the cold, not entirely used to the freezing temperatures. considering we only moved here in the summer, i hadn't experienced the winter up north. back in oklahoma it used to snow when we were younger, but it hadn't snowed recently. here, it was already snowing and it was only december. the temperatures were very diverse in oklahoma, but here it was just cold. way colder than days back in my old town.

Will seemed unfazed by the cold. "nico? are you okay?"

"y-yeah. j-just c-cold," i stuttered.

Will took off his jacket and wrapped it around me. he didn't notice since my face was red from the air, but i was blushing. "will, d-don't be ridiculous. we're n-not in a rom com. You're g-gonna g-get sick."

Will shook his head. "i used to always run during the winter in shorts, i'm fine. and hey, what's wrong with rom coms?"
