Today a new student sat next to me today. “Alright class, we have a new student today, Nico do you want to introduce yourself?”
The kid next to me said “Hello, my name is Nico.” He had a thick European accent and smooth voice. His hair had dark curls that went down to his back. He had eyes so dark they looked black and olive skin. He looked about 5’6” and he was wearing black baggy jeans a black turtleneck under a baggy black t-shirt and he had a septum piercing, a spider bite piercing, and multiple ear piercings. Nico sat back down and the teacher started the lesson.
“For this next unit we will be learning about World War 2.” Mrs.York said. Nico muttered something under his breath. “We have a video from 1930, about how the threat of war affected families in Italy.” Mrs.York turned on the Smart Board (dumb board) and started the video.
“Excuse me ma’am, how is the threat of war affecting your family?” A male voice asked. A beautiful woman with long dark curls and dark eyes appeared on screen
“The threat of war is hard on my family, my children are still young and I worry about what will happen to them if a war does start.” Said an interpreter.
Then a man with pale skin, black eyes, and black hair said “We have been thinking about moving to the states, we don’t want our children to grow up around a war.” Then the film ended. Nico had tears running down his cheeks.
“Hey, are you good?” I asked him. He quickly wiped away the tears.
“Yea” Nico answered.
“You realize that you were supposed to take notes on the video, right?”
“Shit, really”
“Yeah, you can copy my notes if you want.” I answered.
He copied down my notes.
“Do you want to sit at my table at lunch?” I asked him and mentally fist-bumped the air because I just talked to a human without crying.
“Sure” Nico answered.
“Nico! Over here!” I yelled. Nico walked over and set his lunch bag down. I sat at the table with the popular girls and they immediately started to talk to Nico.
“Hello, sweetheart, where did you come from?” Asked Jessica (Sorry to anyone name Jessica).
