Chapter Thirty-One - College Conversations

I sort of image this with Nico and Will having a hight difference but Nico's the taller one now. :)

Will's pov: 

Nico and I were polar opposites, he was the moon while I was the sun. At least that's what people told us, but when we were alone we were one. In a way that when I heard him cry out- um nevermind. In a simpler manner when I heard him just call out my name in general my whole heart skips a beat.

Nico and I go to mortal school together, of course, we don't have to because there is New Rome's university but we already know everyone there so what's the point?

Although we may seem like we're different or that both of our careers are to be different they're not. We both want to be doctors, save lives.

Nico had said he doesn't want to live in the shadow of death anymore, (love how the last chapter was him as working in a morgue- this one's different.) I am going to be a trauma surgeon. It's what I've been hardwired to do since I was young, Nico, on the other hand, doesn't want anyone to lose their brother or sister at the same age he lost his sister- so he's going to be a pediatric surgeon.

We are of course, still in University but we do have most of the same classes. On Wednesdays we go together but other than that I mostly have morning classes and he has the afternoon. We cross paths at least twice a day. Most of the time we bicker with each other, fussing about how the other took all the coffee or how much the other slept. Simple things.

That's not what my friends say, they say we are bitter enemies for always arguing and that Nico's always in a scowl when he talks to me. Although it may look like a scowl, he's doing his best to smile. It's a foreign thing to him, of course, he is working on it but I still think it's cute.

"Hey, isn't that Nico?" Justin- one of my mortal friends ask.

He gestured to Nicos direction talking to a girl with curly brown hair, she was smaller than he was and could see to only be a little younger. "Yeah and?"

"He's your crush right? Why's he talking to that girl? I've never seen him talk to anyone."

"So? I don't control who he talks to."

"Yeah but she looks really friendly to him." just as he said that the girl wrapped his arms around him. Nico smiled lightly before hugging her back.

I ,of course didn't care- it's not that I wouldn't had it been another girl. But this one was just a girl, It was Hazel. What was I supposed to be jealous about.

"So?"

"Don't go acting tough now Will." Justin smirked looking back at me.

I rolled my eyes, "I'm not," I yawned, "lets go to class now."

Justin mumbled in agreement before he began bouncing to class next to me. He was one big ball of energy. I glanced at Nico who just sent a wink my way, returning it I turned and left for my next class.

Later that day a random girl grabbed my arm. I looked down to see she had placed it between her chest, it made me gag on the inside but I refused to show it outside. I looked at her trying to yank my arm away but she refused to let me go.

"Get off." I growled.

"Not until you agree to go out with me." she cried.

"No, this is harassment, get off." I tried to pull my arm away but she held on even tighter.

"Who would belive a guy over a girl?" she cried, "I could scream right now unless you-"

"I don't care what you do, because right now there are witnesses who see you throwing yourself on top of me." I raised my voice, it was not my intent to cause a scene but at this point I had no choice. I saw Nico look over, Hazel too- it seemed they happened to pass by at the right time.
