Sorry, Not Rick

Chapter One

Will had never been late before. He fully blamed the piece of junk called a car that he relied on each morning to ge to school on time for not starting. He was seething as he walked through the empty halls quickly, knowing full well that he was exactly 12 minutes late to his first period. He came to an abrupt stop when he saw someone in the hall, leaning against a someone was Nico. Nico liked to dress in all black and he had some of his hair dyed blue. I had several piercings on his face and was rumoured to have a tattoo on his left shoulder blade. Not that Will would know, because Nico always wore an oversized aviators jacket. He was a stark opposite of Will, with his curly blond, untreated hair and tanned skin covered with freckles. Nico skipped class, and smoked behind the library where Will studies. All of the girls in Will's school murmured as he passed in the hallway, Doc Martins clanking loudly on the floor. They said he was hot, and Will couldn't find it in himself to disagree. On the other hand,Will was a good student who never skipped class and did not bring too much attention to himself. He always followed the rules and never stepped a toe out of line, but all of that was about to change. Nico's dark brown eyes bore into Wills clear blue ones as he approached the apprehensive boy.

Nico shot Will a glare as he came closer. Nico and Will had never been on the best terms. They didn't have any history or anything, they were just so different that they just had an immediate dislike of each other. Will sped up as he passed Nico, but stopped when Nico pushed himself off of the locker and cleared his throat. Will didn't want to stop, but Nico put his hand on his arm and kept him still.

"Hey, Solace."

"What do you want Di Angelo?" Will replied sharply.

"You never do anything wrong, so why is Mr. Goody two shoes late today?" He said mockingly, pushing Will into the locker.

Will was fine about being called a good student, even a perfect student. But there was something about being called a goody two shoes by Nico di Angelo. "What does that have to do with you." he said icily. Will wasn't normally this mean. Actually, he was a literal ray of sunshine, but Nico just brought out the worst in him.

Nico scowled. Then he did something that surprised Will. Nico sighed and then gathered himself up, as if preparing to do something difficult.

"Will, uh..., would you..., um..., ever think of skipping class?"

What the F*ck!

''What kind of question is that?!"

Nico scowled again and the opened his mouth to speak. Nothing came out. Will looked at him expectantly. Nico cleared his throat.

"I just uh... noticedthatyoudon'teverdoanythingbad,sowouldyouliketoskipschoolwithme?"

Will got just about nothing from that sentence except for the words I-just-uh-noticed-bad-skip-with-me. Will got the gist of it. Nico wanted to skip school with him. He glanced up at Nico. He was rubbing the back of his neck nervously, with a faint blush on his pale cheeks. What the Hell? What happened to the Nico he knew, the one that fought and smoked and made fun of Will at every chance he got? What is going through this boys mind? But this was a perfect chance to tease Nico, a chance he wasn't going to let go.

"So what is this Sunshine, like a date?" Will smirked. If possible, Nico's cheeks reddened even more.

Nico coughed. "In your dreams, Solace. Come on goody goody. Live a little."

Will smiled. Although he tried to his it, Will liked this banter between him and Nico. Hated the asshole, liked the conversation. That was the whole of their relationship. By now Will was already shit! 30 minutes late. Will would just skip first period and then go to second as soon as the bell rang. Then, like the type of person who thinks of every option before he made a choice he was, he considered Nico's suggestion. Will had already had a bad morning and he had a maths test today. But I have a maths test today. Will hated maths. He found himself actually thinking about Nico's option. He decided that if one more bad thing happens between now and the time second period starts, he would go with Nico.

On that thought came a loud shriek from down the hall. It was Drew. For some reason, she had an obsession with him since they went out for a week in sophomore year. She was completely in love with him, even after he dumped her, even after he came out a month later.

"Will! You're here! I thought that you weren't coming to school today and I was super sad! Come here!" Drews loud squeals filled the almost empty halls. Nico looked away from Will and scowled at Drew as she sashayed down the halls in her mini skirt and six inch heels. He started to walk away from Will, the opposite way as Drew. This is it.Will thought. This is the one bad thing. Drew had taken off her heals and was now holding them in her hand as she started to run towards him. Without a second thought, Will turned around and grabbed Nico's hand and ran.
