Hell no!

Chapter 12 Texting (Nico)

At lunch stupid Solace sat next to me. But all he did was ask for my number, so I put it in his phone with my name. He then said he'd text me so I'd have his number as well. After lunch I went to my Biology class with Annabeth, Katie and Frank, while the other six went to study hall.

I decided it might be nice to sit to Frank, so we sat together while the girls sat down in front of us. We talked for about five minutes until our teacher walked in. It was miss J., my old Biology teacher, from our previous school. She's always been very nice to me, Bi, Haze, Anna and Pipes. She smiled at me and Annabeth and sat down in front of the classroom. She introduced herself and called attendance. Everyone was present and she started explaining about DNA. It was quite interesting, so I payed attention. Some of the people in the back kept talking though, but since we sat pretty far to the front, I could still follow the lesson. Next to me, Frank, also listened with interest and I saw Annabeth and Katie make notes. I'll ask Annabeth about those tonight.

After Biology, I got to my locker and switched books and closed my locker. Hazel and Piper also switched books and we got on the bus. At home, Hazel started talking to mom about Frank, who had said he'd teach her some archery this Saturday.

''Sweety, Saturday morning we're going to Bianca's grave, because we need to remove all of the flowers. The grave stone will arrive on Monday, so they need us to bring the flowers home. But you can go to Frank in the afternoon, okay?''

''Thanks mom,'' Hazel said. Even though she isn't her real mother, they treat each other as such and they really like to hang out.

I listened for a couple more minutes, and then I went upstairs. In my room I got my phone out of my backpack and texted Annabeth.

Me: Hey Annabeth, question. Can you lent me/let me copy your notes for Biology? I forgot to make mine…

Annabeth: Idiot! But sure. I'll give them to you tomorrow. Just give them back to me on Monday, okay?

Me: You're the best, Anna!

Annabeth: It's no problem, Neeks! See ya tomorrow

Me: See you tomorrow!

Then I saw I had a new text from an unknown number, so I opened it.

UNKNOWN: Hey Nico. This is my number. Will.

When I saw it was Solace, I put his info in my phone, before answering.

Will (fuckboy) Solace

Me: OK

Will: What r u doing?

I rolled my eyes.

Me: Homework, duh!

Will: Eh, yeah, just finished and just talked with Jase. He said he was working on English with Piper

I know, she wouldn't shut up about it in the bus this morning… I rolled my eyes.

Me: She told me.

Will: So how's it going with Hazel?

I got kind of mad and started typing a response, when I saw he had sent another text.

Will: And Frank?

Me: Stop hitting on my sister!

Will: I'm not

Good, at least he's not hitting on her. But he's so obnoxious!

Me: Good, 'cause I don't want you with her.

Will: Okay… Well, I'm going to watch some tv and then go down for dinner

Nico: What series?

That's maybe a weird question. We're not even friends, why would he answer that?

Me: You there?

Will: Eh, yeah, I'm watching DreamWorks Dragons, but that's kinda stupid, I guess…

He watches Hiccup and Astrid too? Awesome!

Me: Cool, I watch that too.

Shit, no not awesome! Stupid! I shouldn't have told him that…

Will: Maybe we can watch together sometime?

Crisis averted. Wait, did he just ask me to hang out?

Me: Eh, sure, whatever.

Okay, he did ask me to hang out. Sure, why not. He is sort of less obnoxious acting now. And he's okay, I guess. Maybe I should change his contact info…

Will Solace

Okay, well, what does this mean? Bi would have known. She always knew. Maybe ask Haze? Yeah, that's a good idea. She might know what to do next…

I walked to her room and knocked on her door. ''Come in!'' I walked in and sat down on her bed. Her entire room is painted deep purple with golden swirls everywhere. It's a nice room, I guess.

''Hey Neeks,'' she said.

''Uhm, I wanted to ask you for some advice, Haze.''

''Sure, what do you need?'' Phou.

''Well, I wanted to ask what you make of this.'' I handed her my phone, showing her my chat with Will. ''What do you think, 'cause I don't know…''

''Well, he seems interested in you. And I'm proud of you for deciding to hang out with him and getting a new friend!''

''Uhm, yeah, uh,'' I said awkwardly.

''Don't sweat it, Nico. He probably is happy he found someone who also watches HTTYD, so he can watch it with someone. Just tell him you can watch it Saturday afternoon or something. No wait, I'll do it for you, 'cause you might mess this up, and you need to make new friends.''

''Haze!'' I said. But she was already typing a message and she'd sent it.

''Done, now, let's go down for dinner!'' I nodded at her, and then watched her text from me to Will.

Me: How about we watch it on Saturday? I can't in the morning, but the afternoon might work. You up for it?

Hmm, Hazel is good at making it sound casual. I'll just wait for a response, and see. But before we even got downstairs to help mom, I got a reply.

Will: Sure, sounds fun! How about you come here around 3?

Me: OK. What's your address?

Will: Oh, sure, srry, forgot.

Then there was an address.

Me: OK, thanks. Sorry, got to go, dinner.

Will: Enjoy, ttyl!

I got downstairs and Hazel looked at me questioningly. I just looked at her and got the plates from the kitchen counter and put them on the table.

''So kids, what do you have planned for this weekend?'' dad asked.

'Tomorrow we're going to hang out with some new friends,'' Hazel started. ''And Saturday afternoon Frank, one of our new friends, is going to teach me some archery.''

''A boy? Do you have a boyfriend, my little girl?'' dad asked teasingly.

''No dad, he's a friend. He just offered to teach me.'' Hazel said, while rolling her eyes.

''And you Nico, are you going to do something this weekend?'' mom asked.

''Eh, a, I guess he's a friend, asked if I wanted to watch tv on Saturday afternoon, so I told him I'd be there around 3 in the afternoon.''

''Who?'' mom asked, suddenly very interested.

''Will, he was here yesterday, for our English project.''

''He seemed nice, sweety.'' mom said.

I just rolled my eyes. Hazel looked at me with a smile on her face and then quickly dug into her potatoes, to avoid laughing.

After dinner, I went back to my homework and then watched another episode of DreamWorks Dragons. When I was too tired to even be able to follow the storyline, I got up and grabbed my pyjama's. I put them on and went to bed.

AN: So here is the second chapter and I'll post the third in a couple of minutes.

Let me know what you think about them!

AN2: Checked and corrected once again.
