I came to school that day in high spirits in anticipation of Rex’s approaching visit, and Nico noticed it right away. Not like I was trying to hide it, to be honest. I was happy and I didn’t mind if people noticed. After our first class, we went out to the lockers to get our stuff for the next class, which was chemistry. Ugh, I hated it so much, unlike Nico, who was actually good at it. Good thing we were in class together, so he could help me.
“Hey, what’s gotten into you today?” he asked.
