Nico's pov:
After meeting the very irritating ball of gas (or more likely known as Will Solace), Nico started to find letters in his bag. At first he thought about going to tell someone, like the police, but when he saw Will smile and laugh at him he knew who it was. He was still tempted to call the police on him but he figured that would be too harsh, even for him.
The notes were always something casual, like 'have you got a cat?' But Nico still thought it was weird. Who would want to talk to him? He just didn't understand.
The letters were in his bag every day. And when Will got ill and couldn't go to school, Nico found an extra note in his bag. After a few weeks, Nico started looking forward to reading his note, but he would never admit it to anyone, especially not Jason, his roommate and best friend.
"Please tell me why you're smiling as if someone is going to die soon?" Jason stared at him from his book, as if Nico smiling was strange.
"What if someone is going to die?" Nico questioned, his smile slowly fading.
"Oh I'm okay with someone dying, but could you possibly tell me I advance? I would like to say goodbye to them." Nico sighed. He had asked the sense that Jason was going to ask a question, and it was going to be personal.
"So what's got you smiling? I vaguely remember that you never smile, and only frown." Nico sighed again. Yep, he was right.
"It's nothing Jason, and am I not allowed to smile anymore?" Nico knew Jason was going to retort, but he didn't feel like telling Jason about his meeting with Will Solace, and he certainly did not want to talk about the letters. It would be too weird, and it was still very early to even think he had developed a friend in Will Solace. "Anyway," Nico said quickly, hoping to get Jason of the subject. "How are you and Piper?" Nico knew that this would get Jason ranting, and didn't care.
As if on cue, Jason's eyes began to light up, and talked about all the perfections about his girlfriend, Piper McLean. Nico blocked most of him out.
It wasn't as if Nico didn't like Piper; in fact she was rather nice. She was smart and funny and pretty in her own way, but she always tried to set Nico up with someone, and Nico just wasn't interested in anyone that way.
After Jason finished his ranting, Nico decided to go to sleep, semi excited about getting his next letter from Will.
After about a few weeks of Will leaving letters, Nico got a note from him that was different from the rest, a question personal to both of them.
'You know that you can write on this too, right? Just read them at break, or during school." Nico was dumbfounded. He didn't know how Will kept on putting notes in his bag without noticing, but now he was saying that he could easily take them out again? It was insane!
But no matter what Nico thought, he started to write back to Will, his new bright shadow.
'Hello shadow.'
