Shit! It's back!

DISCLAIMER: Not Rick, sadly.

I spoke to soon, things can get worse. Now, to sum it up pretty quickly, we had to pick partners for an assignment. But if it was that simple, I wouldn't have to explain this, but it's not. Hazel got her partner first and I'm totally okay with that. Her partner was a boy named Frank Zhang and if anyone could look like a tank as well as a teddy bear, it was this guy. Build to the T, yet you felt like you could tell him anything and he would keep it a secret. At least it felt like I could trust him more than William over here.

"Solace! Choose a partner!" Coach Hedge yelled a crossed the gym.

I was chatting up with my sister when three simple words were spoken, "I choose Nico!" and that my friend, made my heart sink.

I turned at where my Fuckboy was standing, smiling at my direction with a challenging look in his eyes. I knew he had motives other than pure. I shot him a murderous glare, challenging him to say anything else.

"Alright, Solace is with di Angelo. Next," Coach Hedge announced.

"What the hell was that all about?!" I spat, trying to keep my voice down as I approached him. He just shrugged his shoulders with a sly grin plastered a crossed his face. I really didn't like this guy.

After a few moments of silence, Will elbowed my arm.

"What the hell was that about?" I spat. He just laughed quietly, shaking his head.

"No reason," he replied. "Just wanted to squeeze some info' out of you, I guess."

I was pissed. First I got stuck as his partner and now he's trying to use me. I was not gonna let him win. If he isn't gonna leave me alone, I'll make him.

To be honest, at first I thought I was going to kill him, but by the end I realized that killing him wouldn't be just, I would have to make him suffer for all he has done. First he was asking me questions about Hazel (seriously, this guy has a problem), but after that he wouldn't stop prying into my own life.

"So what's your deal?" he shot a basket. Coach made us practice with partners for some reason. "Are you one of those guys who are all moody and mysterious because you have a dark past and want people to stay away?"

I ignored him. I didn't want to have this conversation, but somehow, telling him didn't seem so bad for some reason. "Nah, guess I like my privacy and this is a nice way to get it, I guess."

Silence fell, only the swoosh of the ball and others was heard. It seemed like our conversation had ended there until Will broke the silence, "being alone isn't the best way to keep to yourself. Like, what if you want or need to tell someone something? Being alone only makes the pressure worse" The entire time he spoke he kept his view on the net, never fazing. His words sounded sincere and genuine. For once Will didn't seem like a total jack-ass and I was surprised.

"Great! Just what I need, pity for you," I mumbled just loud enough to make out.

Will stopped shooting and stared at me, his whole body still. We stared at each other, challenging the other almost. In the end I won with Will speaking first, "I'm not pitying you. I'm just saying that you shouldn't exclude yourself from the world entirely," once again his eyes locking on mine. When this happened, I felt like my stomach began to turn and do flips. Something about his guy made me feel… weird.

"Maybe you should become friends with Jason. You two seem like you would hit it off," he spoke then shot another basket. I would never admit, but he was really good at that.

I dry laughed a little too hard to show how I was being serious, "Like that would ever happen!"

Will looked at me with almost pity and then started back up again with the ball. The look in his eyes almost hurt. Maybe he was a good guy, but I wasn't too sure about him, so it's not like I'm going to jump ship and join his just yet.

"I bet you wish you had this class with them," I mumbled, crossing my arms and avoiding his gaze by looking anywhere but in his direction.

"I almost did. There actually in the other gym class, but I got put in this one because of unfair numbers. At first, I was pissed, but now, I'm not too sure if I'm all that mad," he ended with a smile. He was probably talking about Hazel again and I was becoming sick of this. I didn't like this guy and I never will!

We stood there in silence. Will continued to make basket after basket as I stood off to the side, avoiding any actual work. But to my luck, I got roped into running laps because the coach caught me slacking, but in all actuality, I was strengthening my legs by standing, but of course the coach didn't by it and I got sent to laps.

By the time I finished, there was only roughly ten minutes left and coach told me I could hit the showers. I was sweating and uncomfortable, so I obliged. It was just my luck to get in so early because nobody else would be in there. I got undressed quickly and hopped in once gathering my stuff for when I got out. I must have been in there only a minute when the door opened and shut, causing me to jump. I was not big on people, especially when I'm naked.

When I heard two people talking, it took me only a few seconds to make out the voices. I was Percy and Jason. Great!

I sunk back in the shower and prayed they wouldn't be taking a show, but of course, they did. I turned around so only my back as facing the entrance. I really didn't feel like getting that close that soon, so I stayed like that.

When they entered, they stopped and stared at me. I could feel there gaze burning holes in my back. The hopped in the other showers next to me: one on my left while the other stood to my right. Even if the showers were separated by stall-like things, they only came up to about just below my shoulder and they could easily lean over and look and that didn't help my uneasiness.

We showered in silence for only a few seconds until Percy decided he was going to strike up a conversation. In the shower room. Naked. To a bunch of naked dudes. Not cool dude, not cool.

"Fancy running into you here," he spoke, rubbing his body down with soap. I didn't look his direction for I was uncertain what I would say or do.

"Percy brings up a good point," Jason added in.

"Thanks bro," Percy inputted in directly after.

"No problem, bro."

Okay, now this went from awkward to extremely weird.

"This is kinds gay," I mumbled while washing my hair, trying to avoid getting soap bubbles into my mouth and eyes.

Both boys looked at each other then laughed over the sound of pounding water. I tried to think happy thoughts, but that's hard when two guys are trying to strike up a conversation in the showers while your all naked and standing a little to close (even with the separations) for comfort. I didn't want to press my luck with thinking it couldn't get any gayer, but from what I've learned about them so far is that it could go downhill and it wouldn't end here.

Both boys leaned on the stall separator thingy and smirked at each other, then, what seemed like all at once, turned their glances at me.

At that moment I was sure of two things. One was even though this day was almost done, it was far from over while the other was I was so screwed.

Holy Crap! Where did this come from?! Well, it's here and hopefully to stay! Sadly I'm losing my internet soon, so yeah. Sorry!

Thank you for those who still stuck around threw my bullshit of a story that I never updated in like a billion years! I love you and I'm not joking when I say you are my favorites!

Kitty out!
