Nick Williams is one of the main characters of Desperate Schoolboys. Nick is introduced as a student at Wiksteria High who is shown to be romantically interested in popular girl Liz Taylor. However, his seemingly innocent schoolboy infatuation is revealed to be an extreme and dangerous obsession, one that drives him to do all sorts of horrible things to keep her by his side and away from Ben, who also worships her. Nick comes across as a very disturbed adolescent, willing to do anything it takes to get his way, and eventually takes advantage of Liz in her frail state, all in the name of his love for her.
