~Nico I

He stared at the ground as he walked along his sisters, heading to school. It was Nico's first day at a new school, and he wasn't happy about it. He was a freshman. His sister, Bianca(Junior), and half-sister, Hazel(sophomore), didn't care about moving schools, but Nico was going to miss his home in Nevada. Instead, he would be going to Goode High in New York. He wasn't good at making friends, so he dreaded the day already. Nico was nearing the school. Hazel and Bianca were ahead of him and already in the school.

He was still staring at his black combat boots, so he didn't notice the tall blonde guy heading his way, who was too into his book to notice him. Nico ran into him, almost tripping. He was luckily caught by the blonde who, in the process, dropped his book. Nico nervously smiled at him, then quickly detached himself from the blonde.

"You made me lose my page." Blondie said angrily.

"Don't blame me. You weren't paying attention either." Nico shot back.

"I'm Will Solace, by the way." He said, picking up his book, "I think it's safe to say we both should pay better attention." Nico simply nodded, rocking back and forth on his heels. Will looked at him expectantly.

"Nico. Nico Di Angelo." Nico said, then he quickly walked into the school, leaving Will staring at him as he walked away.

Nico pulled a sheet of paper out of his grey hoodie pocket and used the number on it to open his locker. He put his backpack in it after he grabbed his schedule and books for his first class. He had Mr. Brunner, History in room 207.

As soon as he entered the room, he spotted a familiar blonde from outside. Conveniently, Will seemed to be next to the only available seat. Nico hesitantly sat next to him. He felt nervous around him for some reason. Will greeted him with a sunny smile. Nico studied him. He was wearing a maroon, black, and white, striped shirt with black jeans and black convers. He had tan skin, that had splatters of freckles in various places. He had a strong jawline and bright blue eyes that were looking right into Nico's. Oh god. He'd been staring at Will.

Will simply said, "Mr. Brunner just said to take out a sheet of paper."

"Oh. I- Okay." Nico blushed and pulled out paper.

Nico spent the entire class staring at Will and, thanks to his luck, was caught a few times. The bell rang and Nico hurried to his new class, only to be caught by Will in the hallway.

"Hey."

"Uh... Hi."

"Nevermind."

"Okay then." Nico said as Will walked away, tripping over his feet a few times.

~~~~~~~skip to lunch~~~~~~~

Nico spotted his sister Hazel in the cafeteria, sitting next to a group of people. There was a curly haired kid, a girl with curly blonded hair, a guy with a black mop of hair and sea green who had his arm around the blonde, a built Chinese boy who was sitting a little too close to Hazel, a kid with short blonde hair and electric blue eyes, and a gorgeous girl with her hair in a side braid. Nico slipped in next to Hazel and silenced the entire group.

"This is my little brother, Nico. He's a freshman."

"I'm Frank." The Chinese guy said.

"Leo." The curly haired kid said.

"Annabeth." The blonde girl added.

"Percy." Mr. Sea green eyes said.

"Jason." The blonde guy spoke. Nico noticed a scar on his lip.

"I'm Piper." She was painfully attractive. Nico awkwardly waved, then started picking at his greasy food.

A pretty girl with auburn hair pranced by and Leo spoke up, "Hey Calypso."

"I told you, Leo. I have a boyfriend."

"What? I can't say hi?" Leo said smirking.

"I'd prefer you didn't." Calypso snapped back.

"Fine. Talk to me when you lose that boy toy of yours, " Leo winked, "It won't last long, like the others, so I'll talk to you soon." Calypso scoffed, flipped her hair and strutted away.

"Why do you always have to mess with her?" Frank asked.

"It's fun. Plus she's a pretty girl, I'd take any conversation with her over none."

"Seems like she likes you to me." Percy spoke up, "She just seems like she doesn't want to admit it." Leo blushed a scarlet red and quickly shook off a the remark.

"Shoot, I'd be embarrassed of you too." Jason said, "Already am." He smiled.

"Hey! You know you love me."

"Loves me more!" Piper argued.

"Oh. You wanna go, Piper?" Leo jokingly balled up his fists. Piper lightly smacked him upside the head. Nico was enjoying the show. This group was rather interesting.

"So Nico?" Piper questioned, "Interested in anyone yet?"

"Huh?"

"He's been here one day an you're already playing matchmaker?" Leo asked.

"What?" Piper said innocently, "Frank won't let me set him and Hazel up." Hazel and Frank both blushed. Nico smirked at the sight, "Sooooo? Who do ya like?"

"Why would I tell-" A smiling Will approached the table. Nico appeared dumbstruck.

"You left you're notes on the desk in math." Will held out a sheet of paper. Nico grabbed it, their hands brushing together, which caused Nico to let go and the paper to drop. He bent over and picked it up, knocking his head into Will's face when he came up. Will stuttered an ow, then quickly left after saying, "See you around, Di Angelo."

"Bye, Solace."

"YAY." Piper squealed, "I've been trying to set up Will for some time now." God. Nico thought. Was he that obvious?
