Chapter Twenty Six - School Blues

Third-person:

Nico looked around the hallway, he made sure no one was around to see him walk into the music room. He was feeling blue, you could say. His boyfriend was in texas for school and Nico was stuck in New York. Curse his inability to fly or use his powers. He didn't want to spend three days in the infirmary. 

He made his way through the empty room and to the Piano. He lifted the key cover and ran his hands over the keys. Setting his bag down he sat on the bench. He began playing random keys, of course, he knew how to play but it was more fun to just improve it. He knew that when he started playing he was gonna get lost in his own world. 

But that didn't matter, he felt so alone since his boyfriend has been gone. Nico didn't really have friends at this school, they mostly avoided him because of his aura but Nicos actually one of the dorkiest people you'll ever meet.

He randomly played keys, he's been playing for so long that he knows which keys go well together and which ones don't. But it soon turned into another song, I'm pretty sure it was called I love you (song above I love the bl scene above its just uugh the heart eyes) Nico played with so much emotion he didn't realize the next class was about to begin. He didn't hear the people crowding around the door trying to see whos playing. 

Nico, was of course, hiding inside his- Will's- giant hoodie.  His face covered by the hood of the dark green sweater. Nico soon began adding random Italian lyrics as we went. 

His voice was as smooth as an angel, the people who stood at the doorway began holding up their phones to video tape. "Miss, who-"

"Shhh, they're playing," the teacher scolded the student quiet. 

Nico was in his own world, he didn't notice anyone there until one kid decided to let out a hacking cough. Nicos fingers froze on the keys. His voice stopped it's sound and he slammed the cover shut and grabbed his bag. He turned around to see and entire class of about 20+ students. He pulled his hood farther down his face and made his way out of the room, shoving people out of the way as he went.

He heard whispers as he left the room, his face was blazing red with embarrassment. 

He got a ding on his phone, it was a video with a message attached. Mystery kid plays piano and sings?! who could it be?

well it was something like that. The thing that gave it away was the hoodie. You could clearly see the hoodie he was wearing. Nico made his way to his locker as quickly as possible.  He was reluctant to take the jacket off but he did in order to avoid the attention.

He made his way to his next class after that. It was math, Nico wasn't too bad at math. I mean he does have to calculate distances sometimes when shadow traveling.

Moving on, contrary to popular belief Nico doesn't sit in the corner of the room sulking in the shadows of the room. Nico sat in the middle of the row closest to the window. He liked looking out of the window, watching the world pass him by.

"Di Angelo, can you tell me what number we're using for Pi?"

"22/7." Nico replied after a couple seconds. He didn't really know but it was written on the board: Pi=22/7 

"Correct and can you tell me what subject we're on?"

"Does it matter? It's math."

There were snickers in the class, the teacher gave him a look and he rolled his eyes. "Trigometry."

She nodded and was about to ask him another question before the door opened. "Um hello? this is Mrs. Veys right?"

Nico didn't really care who it was as long as the teacher stopped talking to him. He looked right back out the window. "Yes, that's me. You're my new math three student?"
