The light from the windows danced a slowly dance on his floor. Nico turned an extra time in his bed before he yawned.
"What the hell is the clock?" He mumbled shortly, knowing that there wouldn't come an answer. But he liked to try; liked to try if the shadows would ever talk back to him.
He sighed, knowing that he would need to get up. It was his first school day today and he wouldn't like to miss it, but at the same time he just wanted to be at home.
He turned around and looked at the alarm clock; he never used it as an actually alarm, he just used it to see what time it was.
He yawned again. There was 45 minutes to he first lesson started. There wasn't long to the school in a car, so he would probably be there before the lesson started if he decided to stay up now.
His phone vibrated on the small table, beside the bed. It was a text message.
Hey Nico, did you sleep well? You didn't stay up long yesterday, did you?
Nico found it kind of funny how Will already was concerned about him. It made him smile a little, knowing that the other boy actually thought of him.
Good morning to you also, Will. Yes, I did sleep well. How about you?
Lovely! I also slept very well. Are you going to school today?
Nico sat up in his bed. He didn't want to move, he just wanted to keep sleeping in his dark bedroom, but he needed to get his butt out.
Yes, I have my first lesson this morning. How about you?
How exciting, isn't it? My first lesson is first in two hours.
Nico sighed. How he wished it was him; then he didn't need to get his butt out to soon in the morning.
Yes, it's very exciting. Or something. Hope it goes well with your lesson; I need to go now. School is calling!
Bye Nico! Good luck!
Nico smiled for one last time before he stood up and went to get ready.
After getting dressed and eating breakfast, Nico asked Bianca to drive him to school. To start with, Bianca was a bit confused; mostly because Nico had a private chauffer, but rather wanted his sister to drive him? But after thinking a bit, Bianca decided to let Nico drive with her. Apparently, his school was actually on the way to hers – even though it was a longer way.
Bianca sat Nico of outside the school – there was 15 minutes before the bell would ring and now Nico only needed to find the office before the bell.
There wasn't a lot of people at this time; most people were hanging out in the parking lot or the cafeteria, were few of them already sat in their classes.
It didn't take Nico long time before he found the office. They gave him a small map over the school and his timetable. His first subject was English.
He tried as hard as he could to find out how the map worked, but got lost several times. That was when he decided that he needed to ask for help; he wasn't any longer close to the office or the exit. Actually, he didn't know where he was.
He folded the map and looked around after people, who could help him. He saw a few people in the hallway.
He looked at a brown haired, Latina looking girl. She stood outside her locker and was about to find her books. He decided to look further around – not because he was scared of asking her, but because he could see a larger girl group going up to her. It was probably some of her friends and Nico wouldn't want to get in the way.
He looked around again; he probably looked like a lost, little poppy, cause that may have explained the following incident;
An older looking guy walked right towards him. His hair was blond, with small curls that jumped when he walked. He's hoodie was a bit too big for him and his jeans looked like they were about to fall off; bot of his shoelaces were jumping around his feet every time he sat them down. He had an unevenly smile and when he took his lips from each other, one of his front teeth was knocked out. His eyes were ice blue and he was definitely higher than Nico.
The hallway was low on people; only two single students were standing at each of their lockers, looking for their books.
The guy stopped in front if Nico. He looked a bit confused up at the guy.
"Why are you looking like that? It is kind of creepy." He didn't look super happy when he talked. He actually sounded kind of irritated.
"I'm sorry." Nico's voice was only a low mumbling and made the guy look even more irritated.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" He looked down at Nico. "First you are blocking my way and now you are talking shit to me?" The guy had apparently not heard what Nico actually said, but Nico wouldn't point that out. Right now, he was all in for getting his butt in safety, in the English class.
He tried to walk by him, but the guy was blocking his way.
"And now you are ignoring me! Come on, did the cat bite your tongue?" His face was about to get red. Nico could see that he slowly got angry, the more he ignored him.
He looked around after help. A few other students had stopped what they were doing, to look at the two boys. He saw the Latina looking girl starring at them with a book in her hand. Beside her a higher boy with blonde hair and black glassed stood. He didn't look happy nor surprised.
Nico looked to his other side. A small girl with flaming red hair looked a bit unsure about the situation. She pushed her glasses longer up on the nose bridge.
A bit away from her a guy with jet black hair and sea blue eyes stood; he looked kind of surprised about the scene. Besides him a bit lower guy stood; his hair was dark brown and he looked like he had worked at a mechanic.
Nico begged for some of them to do something, but everybody was frozen. He looked up at the guy again. His face was totally red now and he didn't look happy.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Some kind of prince?!" His voice was high; it almost sounded like he shouted, but it was probably just Nico. He took a few steps back. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't run; the boy was probably faster than him, anyways and he didn't know what to say, so he just looked at him. Saw him directly in the eyes.
It was like a calm feeling fell over Nico's body. He felt fearless. But deep inside of him all his alarm clocks were ringing at the same time.
