Why why why why why Nico thought to himself as Piper's words set in. "No. No no no, you cannot do that," Nico says hurriedly.
"Why not?," Piper questions, raising her eyebrows. Nico sighs, "Piper, I appreciate the offer but don't. Will doesn't like me like that and I dont like him that way. Sure, he's cool and all but we just met for crying out loud!" Nico looks at the others, "same goes for you guys as well."
All of them shared a look and Nico didn't like it. "I mean it guys," he says seriously and stands, "don't get involved." Nico started walking towards his class.
Piper looked around at the remaining freinds. "You did see what I saw right?," she asks, knowing they'll know what she's talking about. They all nod or mutter in agreement. "So you can agree that we should at least try to get them together?," she asks again, getting the same reaction.
"Good, so here's what I was thinking," Piper starts, explaing her plan to get them together.
It was after the last class, and Nico was walking towards his dorm. "Nico! Nico, wait up!," came a fimiliar voice. He turned around to see Piper running towards him, and then saw Will trailing behind her. That dude was everywhere and its starting to freak him out a bit.
"Nico! Where are you going? You promised we'd go bowling," Piper says, finally catching up. "I did?," Nico questions. "Yes. You did, and I invited Will because he has nothing else to do," Piper replies, shrugging.
Nico didn't like the sounds of this, but he went along anyways. Once he got there he saw his other freinds there as well. "Let me guess, you guys were also dragged here?," Nico asks, getting the god awful bowling shoes everyone was already wearing. Everyone nodded.
An hour passed, if even that, and everyone was already bored and just hanging around. All the couples were together doing something or other, so that left Nico and Will to chill out. They didn't talk much, but Nico didn't mind. He was kind of antisocial around new people like Will.
"So, whats your major?," Will asks, trying to start up a conversation. "I think Art, but I'm not sure if im going to change it yet. I'm taking classes in writting though," Nico explains taking a sip of his soda that he'd got. Will went on explaining his major, which Nico had to admot was pretty interesting.
Nico and Will ended up talking for hours, one topic leading to the next and so on. This freindly, laighing nature of the two didn't go unnoticed by the others that were there with him. Piper believed that they were finally falling in love, but she was far from it.
Nico's freinds ended up leaving without him, by request of Piper. She only wanted the best for the boy. Will and Nico didn't notoce until the employee said that they were closing down for the night. Nico looked around dazed, realizing his freinds had left.
"Well, so much for that," Nico mutters, frowning. Will smiles sympathetically, "come on, I'll walk you back to your dorm." "You sure? I don't want to be a bother," Nico says looking at the blonde beside him. "It's no trouble, I insist even," Will says with a smirk. Nico just rolled his eyes and suntered out without another word.
On the way back, the two kept talking. It was a long and chilly walk back, but it seemed like minutes once they got to Nico's dorm room. "Well, this is me. I'll see you around?," Nico asks, watching Will. "See you later, Nico," Will replies and lopes down the hallway. Nico entered his room and closed the door. he floped on his bed, thinking. Then he heard a voice from beside him.
"I see you're finally back," it said.
