Nico walked around the hallway of the school aimlessly not listening to any conversations in particular just picking up bits of gossip. He hadn't been listening particularly well to any of the conversations in general until he heard his name in one of them and stopped to eavesdrop to the conversation around the corner.
"Hey do you know that Di Angelo kid?" someone asked
"Yeah, Nico what about him?" it sounded like Jason.
"Well I heard that he likes… you know… guys. Isn't that like unnatural?" the person said. And Nico didn't stay around to listen to what Jason his room mate would reply. He ran down the hall, tears falling freely from his eyes. He was lucky no one here paid attention to him here, at least which is what he'd hoped until the last two minutes when it became apparent that someone had paid a little too much attention. He didn't understand, how could the person have heard that? Who was spreading these rumours? Nico ran out of school, happy that it was the end of the day and Jason would most likely stay out partying late into the night.
