"Nico! Wait!" Will called out to me as I was walking out the door. He was just finishing putting on his red chucks.

"Yes, Will?" I laugh, not sure why specifically. He had finished tying his shoes and walked next to me. 

"I wanna drive you to work again,"

"Okay?" I laugh. Will finished putting his backpack on and we interlocked hands. We were halfway down the hall when I remembered I had to lock my door. I pulled the keys out of my pocket and ran back down the hall. I had to turn a corner and could no longer see Will but I had a good feeling he was waiting.

As I locked the door, a saw an oddly familiar person walk out with a bag of laundry in his hand. He had black, slicked back hair, wearing a black tux. Whatever he did, it must have been fancy. I couldn't shake how familiar he looked. I decided to ignore it. Even though a million thoughts were rushing through my head.

I ran back over to Will and he was smiling. I smiled back, deciding not to worry about the strange feeling a had about or neighbor four doors down. 

We walked hand in hand all the way down to Will's truck. He put on the damned radio, moments later I remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, after work everyone's hanging out over there, they wanted me to invite you. We'll be there for awhile. If you want to swing by you can, but you don't have--"

"I'll be there," He smiled. I always felt awkward asking people things and I think Will could pick up on that. We passed the Honey Bee and since we both had time before work or school, we decided to swing in. Will got tea and I a coffee. 

He dropped me off and I kissed him on the cheek, blushing slightly less this time. Thank gods. I was tired of being questioned every damn time a walked into work.

"I think I like Will for more than one reason," Annabeth laughed as I walked into the building. "You seem to be more on time when you ride with him, also in a better mood, so now," She laughed handing me a broom. "you can help me clean before the customers arrive,"

I rolled my eyes and set the broom against a wall as I walked towards the locker room. I had Jason tie it for me this time as I took a sip of my coffee. I walked back over, placing the drink on the counter, and started to sweep up the floor. 

I found something out about myself at that moment. I sucked at cleaning. I just couldn't seem to do it without making 489 piles of dirt and always walking in them. Eventually, I decided to clean the tables off. I was much better at that. 

Around the same time as yesterday, I texted Will, he simply replied with 'Subway?' and which I agreed. I put my phone away and went back to serving customers. I had classes after lunch though. It was only for an hour, but it still sucked. Then, after classes, I'd find my ass right back here working for the next hour. If it wasn't for the beers after the hour, I probably wouldn't even show up.

"See you guys around two!" I called out as I saw Will's car in the parking lot.

"See you! Tell Will I said Hi!" Annabeth called out. I made the decision to not do that.

I opened the car door and he had the damned music playing but I ignored it. I placed the bag I had grabbed when I hung up my apron on the floor and looked over at Will and smiled. Will smiled back and put his car into gear.

Did I mention this stupid blue car was a stick shift? I wouldn't go as far and say I hated the car, but it wasn't my favorite, yet, I loved being in it. It was comforting?

"How was your day?" Will asked as he made the turn to Subway. I shrugged my shoulders.

"The same, I guess, yours?" I asked, turning the radio down slightly. I noticed I had on the pride pin still on my shoe. I took it off and pinned it to my laptop bag on the floor.
