Believe (Hiatus)

haHA- I forced myself to write this chapter at 9:35 at night. YOU'RE WELCOME

(Unedited)

Nico's POV (He pronounces his i's as e's) Weel

Nico walked into the class, keeping his head down. Just because he was awesome, didn't mean he wasn't awkward and shy. 

Especially since he was the youngest person in the entire class. He'd been bumped up a grade because his teachers thought that he was too smart for 1st grade. So there he was. 

Making his way towards his seat, which happened to be next to his Best Friend in the Entire World, or BFITEW or would it be BFEW? Well anyways it was Leo, his Best Friend in the Entire World.

Leo was also supposed to be in 1st grade right now. But then his Mom forced the school to put him in 2nd grade, because the "1st grade stuff was too easy for my Baby" She tried to get him put in 3rd, but they didn't let her.

Standing next to his chair he paused for a moment. "Hey Leo?"

"Yeah Nico?" he asked stretching the i.

Raising his hand to be level with his shoulders he asked, "Do I smell like french toast?" 

Leo came closer and took a sniff, (XD) "No, why? Did you have french toast for breakfast?"

"No. I had pancakes." And with that the conversation was over as he sat down in his seat.

Leo shrugged and followed suite, bringing out a screwdriver that he really shouldn't have had, and began fiddling with it.

Not even a minute later a certain blonde came towards their seats.

"Hey, Nico!" he said cheerily.

"Hey, Octavian" he replied with a smile of his own.

It had become a daily routine for them to say hello to each other everyday. So in case any of the two were ever murdered. Even if it was super brutal. They'd have a guarantee that they'd have at least one friend at their funeral. 

"Hey! Did you know that yesterday Will came over to my house?? We played lots!"

"Really??" Nico paused, "I thought Will didn't like you"

"Yeah! I thought that too. But maybe he doesn't?" the very thought brightened him up considerably. 

"Then we can all play together!" Nico exclaimed throwing his hands into the air.

Octavian grinned and nodded.

This was awesome. Pure awesomeness indeed.

After that class needed to start.

"What's 79 + 89?" their teacher, Ms. Daejurn asked, and paused to let the other kids write down the problem and try their hand at it.

Not even a minute later Leo and Nathan's hand flew into the air. 

"Leo?" she finally choose.

"168" he promptly answered. 

Nathan huffed and pulled his hand down, knowing Leo got the right answer.

Ms. Daejurn smiled at him, "Yes! That's correct." Then she had to walk over to Jenna who didn't get it and was convinced that the answer was "1,518"

The rest of the day blurred by and it was finally recess.

"Hey Leo! Octavian! Will! Nathan!" That was their main group. Well, it was only the 4th week of school. And they were all awkward social nobodies. 

Well, not all of them. Only him and Leo. Nathan was in there too a bit.

"Hey, Nico!" Will and Octavian said excitedly. Birds of a feather huh? Except in this case, one of the birds, Will. Didn't believe that the other bird was the same species.

"Hey guys." he smiled at them all. "You ready?"

Nathan grinned and held up his hand, and placed a hand on one of them. L-(*v*) "You bet I am!"

Leo crossed his arms in a Deku manner and said, "Roger!"

Octavian pushed his knees down and jumped, "I was born ready!"

But since Will wasn't as cool as us, he didn't know what to do and decided to run a hand through his hair, "YEAH!" 
Seriously Will... that looked stupid.

"Let's go troop!" and they marched off. Ready to fight anyone who dared to come in their way.

Suddenly Octavian fell to the floor, "Aughh!" he moaned.

"OCTAVIAN!" he and Leo shouted at the same time and ran over to him. 

Leo covered his mouth, "No... No. NO!" 

Nico rubbed away the tears that were threatening to fall.

Octavian just lost his leg to the Berzindae. 

"We need a Healer!" Nico yelled.

"Will! You're a healer!" Leo motioned for him to come forward.

Will ran ahead, "Oh no. This is really bad." motioning towards his stump of a leg. 

"We're gonna need to amputate it"

"What?! Amputate it?! NO." he looked at Leo "What amputate?"

Will spoke up gravely, "It's when I have to cut off the other leg and the stump."

Nico gasped, "I- Is it the only way to save him?" he asked, voice weak.

Will looked to the side, "It just might be"

Leo's eyes widened, "What do you mean 'might'?!"

Looking at him right in the eye he said, "What I mean.. is that he might not survive."

Nathan, who had been too shocked from the news, exclaimed, "Can we afford to take that chance?"

Nico opened his mouth, but was cut off by Octavian, "Will-" he started weakly, "Do it. I'd rather live my life without legs, then leaving you guys.

Nathan started crying, but Nico needed to stay strong. "If that's what you wish" he nodded towards Will. "Do it" and looked away.

How'd I write 866 words in a rush, then when I actually try?
