I was having the worst day ever. I didn't wake up with my alarm clock, I burnt my toast (how? Who knows.), missed my bus, and now I was watching my crush flirt with a girl. A girl.
I hate falling for straight guys, but I guess Nico Di Angelo was just another link on Aphrodites chain of misery. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and looked into the multi colored eyes that comforted me. But only for a minute because she went on to say, "Aren't they adorable? They fight all the time, but care about each other too much to actually fight."
He was talking to an African American student i had never seen before. They fought for half a second and then hugged to make up for it. Then, the icing on the cake really, he kissed her on the forehead. I felt my insides melt, and not in a good way. In a painful way. A very painful way.
As she walked away, he walked toward us. He was almost smiling. A cute smile. Bad Will. He is straight and not to mention, your friend. There will be absolutely no more crushing on Nico Di Angelo.
"I swear," Nico said as he walked over to Piper and I. "If anyone hurts her, I'm gonna get kicked out real quick."
"I don't doubt that." Piper said. "What about Frank? You've met him right?"
This part of the conversation confused me. Who the hell is Frank?
"Oh please, Frank Zhang wouldn't hurt a fly. In fact I think he would become a fly, to help another fly." Nico and Piper smiled, but I was too busy dying inside, to play happy.
"What's wrong Will?" Nico asked putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Oh nothing just been an off day is all." I walked away from my very confused friends and right to my next class. I William Solace, will not cry at school.

The next class we'd had together and it took all my power to summon a fake smile and march in there like nothing was wrong, and sit down right next to him.
"Seriously Sunshine," Nico said. "Whats wrong?"
I turned to him, opened my mouth to voice the problem, looked around and decided against it. I didn't know if they were openly dating. So, I stood up, and gestured for him to follow out side the classroom. We went out side the class where there was no one else around. I leaned up against the white long lockers.
"You would tell me if you had a girlfriend right?" I had expected to be questioned on how I knew, given a genuine sure. What I did not expect was for Nico to start laughing. The kind of laugh that comes from your gut.
"Oh my gosh Will, enough of the jokes. Tell me what's wrong."
"I'm serious. Because if you don't trust me enough to tell me-." I was cut off by a rush of movement. At first I thought he'd hit me, but no, he kissed me.
"I am very much, super, extra gay, William Solace." My heart exploded. But my brain was confused.
"Wait then what about-."
I was cut off a second time by noticing the girl from earlier walk over to us. She had startling golden eyes and an innocent aura. I half expected him to back away from me and say it didn't mean anything. But he backed away and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and smiled at me.
"Will this is my sister Hazel." Oh. That makes slot of sense. "She moved up here from San Francisco with her boyfriend Frank."
I felt like an idiot. But a happy idiot. He was gay, and he kissed me. How could this day get any better?
