Chapter Text
N I C O : trailer
Billie elish’s bury a friend can be heard playing in the background.
A vaguely Italian looking boy with messy dark hair sits alone in a room, he looks tired and run down in a jumper and sweats. He could do with a shower. He looks into the camera and it cuts away.
The name Nico flashes onto a black screen in bright yellow block lettering.
Now it cuts back to the boy but this time he’s walking through a tunnel covered in graffiti, he has his hood up. He looks board.
A blonde girl is pushing a bike she’s dressed for the cold in a purple pea coat and is talking to the girl next to her, she’s considerably shorter with a mane of natural hair stuffed under a cap. Her eyes are too gold. They are talking.
The blonde girl says ‘have you talked to him lately’ and the camera cuts away to her and presumably Nico talking in a kitchen.
‘Where’s Percy’ she asks him
He shrugs ‘no idea’
Nico is now stood outside with a tall dark haired boy with stunning eyes. The boy walks away from him to join the girl with blonde hair. Nico looks sad.
The background flashes back to black. In yellow block lettering it says ‘your world is turned upside down’
The blonde girl appears again she asks ‘and Nico’ to the boy with the nice eyes
‘I try to distract him a little but ...’ he doesn’t finish.
Nico is walking through the tunnel again, but now we can see it isn’t a tunnel but instead the side of a wall or bridge. ‘That only works semi well’ we can’t see the boy from before, but we can hear him.
Nico is sat with the blonde girl by a lake, the camera pans to reveal the tall boy with the nice eyes.
The screen is black again ‘you feel lost’ is in the yellow lettering this time.
We get a brief cut of him walking past the wall before we are at a party with Nico and the tall dark haired boy.
It cuts to him sitting in a corner booth with a pretty Asian girl with a black bob and sharp eyeliner. She is laughing, he is not. Someone says ‘well Nico is quite cute’ the camera pans to reveal the blonde girl, a girl with caramel coloured hair and a Native American girl - we can assume the one in the middle made the remark.
The blonde girl says ‘I don’t think Nico is into you’.
Black screen, the writing says ‘you are not alone’
Cut to Nico stood outside ‘Percy is my best friend’, he fist bumps the tall boy with dark hair, we assume he is Percy.
The blonde girl is with the African American girl from earlier, she’s showing her a screenshot on a phone. ‘When Nico gave me his phone this was open’ the tab reads, gay porn.
The screen goes black and the name Nico comes up in all caps again.
He is sat with Percy and the blonde girl by the lake.
He is walking alone with Percy outside.
He is walking alone with Percy inside.
Black screen, ‘you feel the’
Cut to Nico he’s says ‘I didn’t think it would escalate like this’ to an unknown girl.
Black screen, ‘pressure’
He is walking alone by the wall.
The music fades out as the clip ends.
