Chapter Text
Will
It's my first day back at school and I am so excited!!
I live with My mum and my annoying younger siblings Kayla and Austin, and we just moved house from the other side of America for my mums new job. The only bad thing about that is that I have to start at a new school with no friends, but that's fine because I love meeting new people. Hopefully this fresh start is good because at my old school people found out I was bisexual and gave me shit for it. I hope people here aren't big pieces of shit like at my old school and will treat me like an actual human being.
Maybe this time my friends won't leave me for who I am. That would be nice. (Ve here! Did you like the trauma dump? Don't worry I plan on adding a lot more because I love you guys that was just the start XD)
I shove on some shorts and a white shirt with a yellow sun imprint on it then head to the bathroom to clean my teeth.Ugh of course my siblings are already in the bathroom taking up all the space, I can't even get to the sink, how can two people take up so much space?
"Uh can I have my toothbrush please?" I ask politely, sometimes the only thing that works is being nice about it.
"Yeah, yeah, here you go." Kayla replies throwing my toothbrush and toothpaste in my face. I catch my toothbrush but my toothpaste lands on the floor so I bend down to pick it up. I hesitate for a second before heading to the kitchen sink to wet my toothbrush before walking outside in our backyard while brushing my teething and spitting it out in the bushes. Might be a bit gross but it's the most convenient at the moment.
I walk back inside to the kitchen where my mum is.
"Good morning Will, you excited for school? I know how much you like meeting new people this must be so fun right?" My mum greets. Bless her heart, somehow she didn't find out about all the shit that was happening to me at my old school.
"I'm so excited, I can't even wait for this day to start! Although I'm a little sad that Kayla and Austin are going to the same school as me this year I enjoyed the peace of them being at a different school." I reply.
"Someone sounds excited" my mum chuckles as she passes me my bag, while my siblings run into the kitchen like the idiots they are.
"We're ready!" They yell in unison as if they have been practicing.
"Great because the bus should be at the bus stop in 10 minutes. You guys remember which bus to get on and the route to the bus stop?" My mum asks.
"Yes mum, we only went over 10 times yesterday," I reply. "I think we are ready."
"Well off you go then. have fun!" mum says waving goodbye.
My siblings start fighting the second we exit the house so I shove my headphones in and press play on my music. I have a playlist that has pretty much any and all music, except rap, I can't stand rap. (Definitely not me saying I have no clue what Will would listen to so I just make him listen to everything - Ve)
There are 3 other kids at the bus stop, 1 girl, 1 boy and 1 who I can't figure out, but they all look much older like they are in year 12, but I leave them alone because they look intimidating.
We wait at the bus stop for about 5 minutes before the bus comes, we are the last stop before school so most of the seats are taken by the time the bus comes.
The bus finally arrives and Kayla and Austin run on first followed by the older kids, then finally me.
I step on the bus and look down the isle and see that most the seats are taken besides one next to one of the older kids from before and one next to this emo kid (I wonder who that could be -Ve) at the very front next to where I'm standing.
"Oi kid make up your mind and find a seat" the bus driver calls out.
I turn to the kid next to me, "Can I sit next to you?" I ask, he nods moving his bag off the seat next to him and I sit down.
We sit in silence for a while, but I still have my headphones in, but he doesn't have any, before he asks, "Are you new to school?"
I take out my headphones.
"Yeah, me and my family just moved across the country for my ma's job." I reply.
"And you are in grade..." he ask pausing trying to figure it out.
"8, what 'bout you?" I finish for him.
"Same. What was your name?" He asks.
"I'm Will Solace, you?"
"Oh um," he pauses for a moment, "I'm Nico, Nico Di Angelo"
That's such a pretty name. A pretty name for a pretty face. Now that I think about it damn he's fine.
No Will bad boy, I mentally slap myself, remember what happened last time you had a crush on a boy? He was straight and people made so much fun of you for being gay. This boy is probably straight anyway.
"Um are you okay..?" Nico asks, "also we are at school"
Fuck I zoned out.
"Ah shit sorry I zoned out. Fuck I didn't mean to swear. Sorry sorry sorry.
Way to go Solace you fucked up already and you haven't even made it to school yet.
"Nah don't worry happens to everyone, I have quite the vocabulary myself." He replies almost laughing, "Do you need help going around the school? I'm happy to help of you do."
"Actually that would help. Do you mind if my siblings join, they're kinda annoying though?" I reply.
"Yeah sure whatever"
We get off the bus and I walk up to my siblings and talk to them but they said they have already made friends somehow. When I get home I need to google how annoying people have friends because I have no clue how they did it.
I head back over to Nico and he asks me if I know what homeroom I'm in I don't know so we go to the front office to ask.
Our timetables get given to us at the start of the year in homeroom he explains which makes sense.
We approach the front desk and Nico greets the lady at the desk.
"Good morning miss I'm helping this new student here. Could you help me find his homeroom his name is Will Solace."
"Will Solace you say? You are in homeroom green 2 with Mr Caine, also your locker is number 314 Enjoy your day" she replies. (I'm using colours cuz idk what else to use lol. At my school it is your house colour and then a number 1-7 so I'm green 2 also anyone know where Caine is from? -Ve)
"Sweet that's the one I'm in and your locker is a few down from mine. I'll show you where everything is." Nico says to me.
He leads me through a few corridors and up a flight of stairs before stopping at a locker.
"This is yours the default code is 000 and you can change it by flipping it 180 degrees and pushing it down. If you need me I'll be at my own locker which is just a few down that way." He says pointing down the corridor. "Is that okay?"
"Yeah that's perfect." I reply and he nods and walks to his locker.
I shove my bag into my locker and organise my stuff my door opens to the side where Nico is so I can't see him while using my locker. Okay time to go over what has happened so far. You met a cute boy who is now your friend, he is helping you get around the school and has the same homeroom as you.
I vaguely see some people walk up to Nico but then they move to where my door obstructs the view and about 2 minutes later than walk off.
I close my locker and change the lock code to 238 and lock my locker, before walking over to Nico who is just finishing at his locker.
"Who were they?" I ask.
"Uh" he stutters. "Um there not important also you need your pencil case, 2 books and your laptop. Then we can go to HR."
"Okay and what's HR?" I ask, walking to get my stuff.
"Homeroom, that's what most people call it." He informs me.
I grab my stuff and walk to our HR room and sit down at the back corner. Nico sits in the corner and I sit next to him.
Our teacher walks in the room.
"Okay students for those of you who are new hi I'm Mr Caine, I've been teaching at this school for 6 years and I teach drama and I am in charge of the school play. I will now mark the roll;" Mr Caine pauses for a second, which is surprising as his voice is super fast paced. I take a look at his outfit. A bright red suit jacket with a white shirt, black bow tie, black pants, white gloves, a blue and green eye and a top hat for some reason?
"Okay Nico you here?" He continues
"Here sir" Nico replies.
"Okay come collect your time table also come see me after class you are not in trouble do not worry." Mr Caine
Nico walks up collects his timetable and sits back down.
"Fuck, I hate Mrs Dodds with a passion." He says reading his timetable. "Aw and I have her first and second period today. Well fuck me."
"What's wrong with her?" I ask
"Well.. um.. uhh.." he stammers
"Will Solace come collect your timetable." Mr Caine says out loud.
I walk up and grab my timetable from the teacher and sit back down.
"Okay Nico please tell me what is wrong with her because I have her as well." I say to Nico.
"Look I don't know how to tell you she will likely be fine to you I guess you will just have to see when we get to class okay?" He replies. Okay this seems serious. Baby shark do do do do do, baby shark do do do do do do
Shut the fuck up now is not the right time for baby fucking shark.
"Will.. no one's playing baby shark what are you on about?" Nico says.
"Fuck me. Did I say that out loud? I'm sorry it just popped into my head, I was baby sitting some kid the other day and it's been stuck in my head ever since." I say
Nico laughs a little bit.
The bell goes to say that first period is about to start so I wait outside while Nico talks to Mr Caine.
