AN. Hi this is my first fan fiction! I hope that you like it! Constructive critisism is welcomed.

Disclamer:

Nico: Hey Alice?

Alice: Hey what?

Nico: Do you own the amazingly awsome Percy Jackson series?

Alice: Alas (isn't that an awsome word!) I don't. *sigh*

Nico:Oh that's too bad.

My name is Melody. Nom with a name like that you're thinking "gosh, she has to be a famous musician or singer or something." Well I am, but I'm forced to repress my amazing talent. Not to sound too narcasistic or anything, but it's true. Well now I'm getting ahead of myself. Here, let me explain. One week ago I was at Bella's school for the preforming arts in New York City.

(flashback)

Only one more week. I can get through one more week. Right? I love music, but at this school they didn't let you do anything on your own. There was always a teacher standing over you leaving no room for those creative juices to flow (metaphorically speaking). Summer vacation was coming up thoe. When school got out I get to go home California and see my mom. She lives there all by herself because she was an artist and in her words she didn't want to "harsh our mellows with so much contact that it creates an unproper environment in wich we could not embrace our core and let out emotion that is strong enough to make the beauty that is art." Yeah my mom is a speech giver. Whatcha gunna do. I know that is sounds like she just doesn't want to see me, but she does. She just likes her alone time too. The thing is thoe, I miss her I only have like, one friend in this entire school and the only reason that I hang out with her is that she talks enouph for the both of us. So I am really excited to go home, or maybe just really excited to go any where as long as it's not here.

"uh, Mel? You okay?"

says my (only) friend Lucy. I hadn't realized that I was starring blankly at a wall while thinking about all of this.

"Yeah Lucy, I'm fine" I said in a monotone. I don't really like to show too much emotion or Lucy will actually try to get me to talk to her, and when lucy starts asking questions she NEVER stops.

"Oh, good. So as I was saying isn't that new kid so cute? I wonder why he transferred here so close to the end of the school year. I mean today is his first day and…"

I tuned her out, and looked in the direction that she was pointing. There standing in front of me was the only boy who had ever made me lose my cool. My mouth hung open as I starred at the guy. He had black hair that covered his eyes, and he was wearing black jeans, (Thank god they were not skinny jeans. If they were I think I may have fainted!) and a dark green shirt. I closed my mouth and looked down at myself. I was wearing a white camisol, a green and pink floral cardigan short sleaved sweater, a shortish dark wash jean skirt, and silver ballet flats. I also had my red curly hair pulled back off my face (so people could see my green eyes) into a messy bun. I knw that since I described myself before as an anti-social loner you probably guessed that I didn't have a sense of style. Right? Wrong. Well I am very unhappy with my perticular sense of style right now because the new guy was sorta goth and I am the total opposite of sorta goth. Well, I have no chance with him time to move on. I started walking to my next class. My head was still down from looking over my outfit choice of the day and when I looked up there he was. I almost ran in to him.

"sorry."

We both muttered at the same time. I stepped to my left and he stepped to his right. Wich as we all kn ow means that we stepped the same way, and ran into eachother again.

"Sorry."

He said again, but this time I decided to try my luck.

"Don't be. It's okay. I'm Melody."

I stuck out my hand for him to shake. His hand felt cold and a little stiff.

"I Know, I'm Nico"

WTH how did this incredibly gorgeous human being know my name. Maybe it was fate.

"Ummm how do you know my name?"

"Uhhhh I didn't say I know I said uhhh got to go, so um bye!" And with that the most hansomely awsome person in the world rushed past me. I rushed after him because my class was in that dirrection and I was going to be late and- Oh my gosh! Totally awsome semi-human being (a.k.a. Nico) walked into my homeroom! Man this was going to be a great day. To add to all this the only empty seet was next to me! I guess my lack of social skills keeps people from sitting next to me, because it obviosly was not my looks. Nico hesitantly sat down next to me.

"Hey Melody. What a coincidense."

He sounded way less inthusiastic than my soul mate should.

"Hey Nico. Yeah that is weird. Who do you have for the rest of the day?"

He showed me his scedual and most of his classes were with me. Except gym, when I told him he didn't have gym with me I could have sworn I heard him murmmer "figures" under his breath, and I'm sure I'm right. I'm always right. One time I thaught I was wrong it turns out I was mistaken. So maybe he does like me. Lter that day right before gym class I was walking down the hall with Nico. (He has wood shop that hour and the classrooms are right next to eachother. When he grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside through the gym doors and started running.

"Nico! Where the heck are you taking me!"

He was no longer the coolest most awsomest person on the face of the earth.

"Nico! Let go!"

He didn't let go. That was when I realized that there was some one following us. I looked over my sholder to see that it was only our gym teacher.

"Nico! Hold on I know he's creepy, but he's only the gym teacher!" I yelled.

"The fact that he is creepy is not the reason that we are running from him!"
