The orphanage

Npov

I had lost touch with Will years ago.

I had to move to America from Italy, but Will was still in Italy.

I missed him, but I doubted I would really want to see him. He would probably find out I was gay and hate me, which would be worse than just not seeing him at all.

I go to an orphange, because my mom and sister died in a car crash, and my dad left when I was born.

I guess we should probably start with the story.

I waited in the classroom for the rest of the class to come.

I sat in the very back corner, trying not to be noticed.

Mrs. Stocks glared at me. I nervously looked at my lap.

The other kids started filing in. I didn't look up.

I heard someone sit down beside me and I finally looked up, alarmed. No one ever sat by me...

"Hi. I'm Will."

I blinked. Will?

"You might not want to sit there." I told him quietly.

"And why is that?"

I sighed, "I'm sure you'll find out soon en-"

"Hey!" Someone else yelled from across the room.

It was Luke. I winced.

"You must be new. No one else is dumb enough to sit by him." Luke said.

Will raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Luke glared at me. "His name is-"

"Sit down, boys." Mrs. Stocks interrupted.

Luke walked back to his seat and I relaxed. Will was still sitting next to me.

By the end of class, I hurried out of the classroom as fast as I could. Just as I was about to enter the nest classroom, someone grabbed my wrist.

I turned to see who was grabbing me. It was Will.

"You never told me your name." He said.

"O-oh. I-I'm Nico." I stuttered.

His eyes widened. "Nico? Nico...Di Angelo?"

I nodded.

He laughed. "Nico-oh gods- It's me! Will Solace! Do you recognize me?" He beamed.

"I knew it was you." I said quietly, "I just...."

"What is it? Nico, are you okay?"

"I-I...."

Luke approached us. "Will, you need to stay away from him. You could join my group of friends, if you'd like."

"I don't think so." Will said.

"Will-" I started to tell him that he shouldn't hang out with me, but he interrupted me.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Will asked, angry.

"He hasn't told you yet? Okay, I guess I will then. Nico is-"

"No!" I yelped, "Please..." Luke and I had a stare-off.

"Please don't tell him." I whispered.

"Nico, whatever it is, It won't change anything between us."

"I-"

"Nico's gay." Luke said.

"Is that all?"
