Hazel's Flashback

THURSDAY

Hazel tugged Nico's hand to get his attention while they were walking to their next class.

"Nico, are you okay?"

"Sure, why do you ask?"

"I don't know, you seem a little off and the slightest bit tense. Is it something you want to talk ab..."

Her sentence was cut short by a loud screech.

By God, what kind of creature does that sound?

I think it was human...

"Nico, did you hear..."

"We're late for class."

He grabbed her hand and started pulling her in a fastened peace. Hazel kept glancing over her shoulder, when a series of other sounds followed the screech.

Was that... an explosion?

When she almost tripped over her own feet, Nico's hand being the only thing that prevented her from falling, she focused on walking.

"Nico, do you know what that was?"

"Nothing that has to do with you."

"But it has to do with you?"

He kept silent. She sighed but didn't say anything. They were in their classroom in no time, but Hazel could see the teacher outside, trying very hard to convince the curious students to get inside class. She poked Nico's shoulder.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing you can prove."

Hazel furrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Niel taught you this one, didn't he?"

He made a non-commitment sound and Hazel gave up.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ask Niel to befriend your brother.

Maybe it wasn't.

Flashback over, back to present

FRIDAY

"Psst, Nanni."

She's trying really hard to annoy him, isn't she?

I would say she is.

Lucy threw another paper ball at Nico's head.

"Pssst, Nanni!"

Nico turned to her angrily.

"What!?"

"Mr. Di Martire, is there a problem?"

"Uhh..."

Lucy raised her hand and smiled sheepish.

"I'm sorry, sir. My fault. I poked him to call his attention. I was just trying to give him back the pen he dropped. It wasn't my intention to disturb your class."

The teacher nodded and ignored them. Lucy threw another paper ball at Nico, hitting his nose.

Oh-ho, that made him angry.
