《Beautiful Things - Solangelo》3. I'm an idiot
Advertisement
(Will's POV)
A long the day I heard a lot about Nico - apparently he is the most interesting person in the school.
The things I heard were pretty much everything from 'he's the most horrible person in the world, I wish he would just die' to 'he's like a super hot angel'.
I still can't believe it - that he changed so much. Not just his appearance, his whole personality. After all I heard he's much of a troublemaker. A fuckboy. Someone who doesn't have many friends, but could make nearly everyone doing nearly everything.
An ass. The kind of person he always hated.
Why did he change so much in just six years?
This is impossible he - well actually it's not impossible. It's, more likely, my fault. At least kind of.
After he moved away I was the one who stopped answering letters and stuff like this. Even though I really did love him, he was my best friend, he meant insanely much to me.
Even though I knew he hated his new school, the people there. He wasn't very specific but I knew that he had no friends, that it was horrible, that he felt horrible.
Probably that's why I broke contact. Because he suffered so much, so obviously. And I was - happy. Of course I missed him, a lot, but I moved on. I had other friends, found more, had fun.
He got sadder and sadder. Then I stopped talking to him.
And oh boy, what did I hate myself for this. Because of course I knew that it was wrong and heartless, the worst thing a friend, anyone, could do. But it didn't change anything.
After I stopped writing for a while I wanted to contact him again - I really wanted. But I was so afraid he wouldn't answer. Not because he would be angry at me - I was afraid he wouldn't answer because he couldn't anymore. That he killed himself after I left him, that I would send this letter and he would never read it.

Now I know that he's alive. That he and his father moved again, that he and his situation changed. But I still feel guilty.
Because this boy - this boy I met, this boy I heard about all day - that's not the Nico di Angelo I knew. He's so much away from this that I really, really don't want to know what he has went through to get like this.
On the other hand I can say that I'm sorry now.
Sure. And everything will become like it was. We would just ignore what I did, what happened to him, and how he is now.
And that I, even I just saw him again and am absolutely aware of that it's a) stupid b) wrong and c) absolutely not helpful with anything, totally want to make out with him.
I mean, idiot, lost childhood friend, whatever, he's so hot.
Probably I should stop being like this. But damn.
At least I'm at home now.
My room looks still like shit, it's basically just my bed, some school stuff, everything else still isn't unpacked. Anyway, I don't want to stay here, I hate this town. But Nico

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
