Will-

Will Solace hadn't seen Nico di Angelo till school on Monday. Will Solace entered the school with new found confidence, he was the new kid and instead of letting people bully him, he'll make them fear him. Will had his headphones on, the song going as everyone stared at him. The song blocked out the whispers that he didn't want to listen to. Will went to the Principal Office to get his schedule and then he went to his first class which starts in five minutes.

It was honors English ten. Some say that Wills smart to be in honors but he just knows to fake it till he can make it. That isn't an achievement, it's basic survival. Will walks in and takes a seat in the front, the back is where the annoying loud kids sit and the middle is vulnerable, the front is the best. The teacher greets him and gives him the basic run down on what their learning and the book their reading.

"Lucky you, we just started it so you'll be fine." He smiled as he talked slowly. Will hates it. Adults thinking they can talk down to teens, like they are so smart and they are so dumb. Immediately, Will knew he wouldn't like this class but he smiles anyway. Fake it till you make it.

"Thank you sir, I will work hard to catch up." He took the book and slide it into the desk. It wasn't a lie, Will is going to work hard. For his mother. For his siblings. For his rotten father to. He just needs to get into college, get out of this town. As the bell rang, a group of students flooded in, including Nico.

He was walking with a short blondie with a scar on his lip and grayish blue eyes hidden away behind glasses. He supported a letterman jacket with the school colors, orange and black. Nico himself was wearing black skinny jeans, a skull tee shirt, and a blue jean jacket with the colar having faux fur. He had a satchel bag on his side and headphones hung on his neck, he was panting.

"Why is your class on the second floor?" Nico groaned. The teacher smiled again, chill.

"I purposefully chose it so I could make you go up the stairs." He rolled his eyes. "Let's get class rolling, take your seats."

The jock and Nico take their seats to the other end of Wills row of desks, Nico gives him a side glance as he walks by Wills desk. But nothing else. Will couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, he wanted to know Nico more, and just maybe if he sat with him he could. Through class he snuck peaks of the boy, he paid attention in class, doodled on his paper, looked out the window, and sat criss cross on his seat. Then a note hit his back and he was forced back to reality. The note unfolded said;

Stay away from Nico di Angelo,he doesn't date people. UR crush needs to end. He is a fxck boy and a criminal. A GANG member. ignore him or else.

Will didn't know how he felt about the letter but he felt uneasy. He should probably avoid Nico then. His mother wouldn't like him hanging around with the bad batch of kids, the ruffians who will get him in trouble. Will tucked away the note and pondered what it could mean and if it's true. Is Nico a gang member?

When the bell ring for the first Mod to be over Will was bend over packing up his bag, Nico came over. His hands slammed against his desk making Will jump. And earnings grin from the emo teen. His hair was feathery and long, almost to his shoulder. It was pitched black as well, hiding his ear piercings well and eyes well. Will stood up.

"Hi, alligator." Will gave a polite nod of greeting before walking out the door.

"Hey! Solace!" Nico shouts behind him but Will doesn't stop. He doesn't know why he ran away but his stomach was fluttering with anxiety, his pulse was risen and he felt dizzy. He couldn't see Nico, not right now.

The day continues till lunch and then Nico found Will alone on a picnic bench. No one was outside since it was close to winter, it was getting cold. Nico sat down on the edge and glared at him, Will sat up straight. Fake confidence making his real feelings.

"What are you doing?" Will asked.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Nico demanded, his little lot of criminals behind him at a different table, watching us. I don't know why i'm believing a stupid little note and I know I can't explain myself so I pulled the paper out and handed it over to him.

"Explain." I ordered.

Nico squints as he reads over the note, his hands had black leather fingerless gloves. He had a couple of silver rings as well. A skull that was rusty, a snake, chain, plain ones, and other designed ones. After he finished he shrugged and crumbled it into a ball.

"Well." Nico sighed and laid back on the table, he stretched his arms out. "It's mostly true, i'm not a fxck boy though. I'm actually a virgin. Shocker."

"So, you're in a gang?" I asked. Nico smirked and pulled down his sleeve to show a greek pattern circling a pegasus.

"I'm legacy." Nico admired his tattoo with a thoughtful face till he looked over at Will. "Now. Answer one of my questions."

"Sure." Will tensed. He had a million questions flooding through his head, not a single one was what Nico was going to ask though.

"Do you like solving mysteries?"

Will stared at the boy lying on his table in shock and bewilderment. What? Nico chuckled at his expression and gets up. Will still didn't have an answer and sat there completely stunned by the question. He prepared himself for, why did you move here? He prepared for, do you like it so far? He didn't prepare for that.

"What-?" I asked but Nico hopped off the table.

"You know where I live. Give me an answer!" He then walks off and takes out a cigarette.
