Hi guys! This is my first PJO story so be nice. I will explain more in the authors note at the bottom :p
Chapter 1: Hooray I didn't get kicked out of school
Percy's eyes fluttered open when he heard the gentle voice of his mother. "Percy... Percy wake up!"
The teenage boy sat up straight very quickly, and bald his hands up into fists. There was drool dripping from his chin and his mother couldn't help but giggle when she saw the random pieces of hair sticking up on his head. "Are you okay mom! Is someone here?! Do I have to protect you?!"
Sally Jackson gave her son a soft smile, and reached over running her fingers through his tangled hair. "No honey, no. Today is your first day of school, Annabeth will be here soon."
Percy nodded slowly, as if he was just remembering this information. He pulled his blue comforter around him tighter and turned away from his mother. "I don't wanna go mom.'' He yawned.
Sally leaned toward her son, that she raised on her own for the most part, and leaned her head on his shoulder. ''Please Percy. Lets not make this difficult"
He turned his head toward his mother. He stared at her blue eyes and her soft dark hair pulled up into a bun. There were dark bags under her eyes from lack of sleep. She worked extra hours just to provide for them-just a family of two.
He gave her a half smile. "Okay mom. For you I guess."
Sally's eyes lit up as she leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead. She stood up and crossed the room to leave, but stopped at the door. "Percy, you better start getting ready. You can't leave a nice girl like Annabeth waiting." Then she left the room.
He grinned. He loved his mom so much. She was the one who kept him going in life, besides Annabeth of course. He would do anything for her. Four years ago, she had gotten out of an abusive relationship. But it wasn't with his dad. For as much of a jerk his stepdad, Gabe, was to him, he was ten times worse to his mom. And that was not okay. They finally got away from Gabe, but Percy was always worried that one day Gabe would be back. That's why he was always ready to fight in his mothers defense.
Those feelings aside, Percy thought of the day ahead. Although it was the first day of school, a place he despised, he had to admit he was excited. It was his first official school year with his new girlfriend. They got together this past July, although he had been crushing on her since age twelve. Of course he was excited to see his other friends too.
Jason was his best bud, both having great leadership skills they clashed occasionally, but they always had each others backs.. Leo was like the pet of the group. He was the comic relief, and also very obnoxious. Percy's and Leo's sarcasm was similar to some degree, which is how they bonded.
Then there was Piper, who was Annabeth's best friend. She was Jason's girlfriend, so they often went on double dates. Piper was Cherokee girl, who had a knack for giving people tips on their love lives, though she claimed she had no idea how she did it. In fact,.her and Jason got together not too long after Percy and Annabeth.
Frank and Hazel were the last of the group. Frank was a very tall, and somewhat intimidating Asian kid. Most people take advantage of him though, because he is the most awkward kid you'll ever meet, and the exact opposite of what you'd think. That's why he and Hazel share such a bond. Hazel is an African-American girl, who shouldn't even be at their school. She should be attending the Jr. High that is a few miles away, but she is very intelligent so she skipped a grade and is currently a ninth grader.
Every once in a while, Hazel would drag along her half-brother. He is a year older than her, but because she skipped, they are now in the same grade. His name was Nico, and he often got labeled as a 'loner'. He didn't say much, didn't like attention, and was often on his own. The thing that stumped Percy, was the fact that Nico and him used to be friends. Now a days, Nico avoided him at all costs.
Percy shook his head at the thought. He rolled out of bed and only one name came to mind now: Annabeth. Today was their first day of school together, and he knew they would make an impression. Then again, people have been telling them to 'just kiss already' for years.
He strided over to his closet and pulled out a light blue shirt and pulled on some jeans over his boxers. After combing his hair, brushing his teeth, and washing his face, he started for the kitchen. He felt a zip of vibration go up his leg, so he pulled his iPhone out of his pocket. When he saw who the message was from, he grinned.
I have been out here for like five minutes. HURRY UP SEAWEED BRAIN!
Not wanting to be late, he rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a blue muffin that was sitting on the counter, and kissed his mom goodbye. When he met up with her at her car, she was sitting with her arms crossed and a playful glare on her face.
She was wearing a plain orange t-shirt, and blue skinny jeans. Her curly blonde hair fell around her shoulders, and her grey eyes sparkled. "Well what are you waiting for seaweed brain?"
Percy's ears turned a shade of red when he realized he was staring. He climbed into the passenger seat and just laughed. He looked over at his girlfriends confused face and laughed even harder. "What?" she demanded, although she was smirking.
Percy shook his head as he got comfortable in his seat. He stared at her for a few more seconds. Admiring the the twist and curls in her hair. How they framed her face perfectly. "Nothing, I just feel most comfortable with you more than anyone else I know. Remind me to thank Grover for forcing us to work together in Mr. Brunner's class."
Grover was a dear friend of Percy's who sadly, already graduated. Fortunately, Grover did make it into the college he had applied for.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Yeah I miss him. If it wasn't for him, I would never have found out that you're not as annoying as you let on."
Percy shoved her in the shoulder gently, and she returned it with a kiss on the cheek. She then turned her attention back to the insane amount of Manhattan traffic. "We better go if we don't wanna be late for the first day."
After a few minutes of hodge-podge talk, Percy shoved is hand into his pocket, fumbling for his phone. He loved taking random selfies with Annabeth when she was driving because her facial expressions were always priceless. He was switching his phone to camera mode when he noticed a picture hanging from the rear view mirror. It was a photo of Annabeth, she was maybe about ten, with a boy who had the same blonde hair and grey eyes. They looked like they could be brother and sister. But Percy knew better, she only had her step-brothers. "Who is that?" He asked, fingering the picture.
Annabeth shifted her attention from the road and glanced at the picture. "Oh him?" She took a hand off the steering wheel and unhooked the photo. "That's my cousin Magnus. I don't get to see him much, but he's cool."
The teen boy grabbed the picture from Annabeth and examined it. He smirked, "Not as cool as me though, right?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes, while waving a thank you to the person who let her turn. "You actually remind me of him a lot."
Percy cocked his head to the right and widened his eyes. "What? I thought I was one of a kind! How?"
Annabeth pulled into her usual parking spot with a sharp turn. She took the key out and unbuckled her seat belt. She turned toward the pouty boy and cupped her hands around his face. She kissed him, which lasted about three seconds. She smiled at the dumbfounded boy and whispered, "You're both idiots."
Hazel's gold eyes drooped as she walked down the halls of her new school. Although she loved being with her friends, being the youngest person in the school didn't raise her self-esteem. She dodged the skyscraper sized seniors and squeezed between the socializing cheerleaders. This was quite an adventurous morning, and having her trusty Hispanic friend with her made it all a little more bearable.
For being a boy, and two years older than her, Leo was on the short side. He always referred to himself as "fun-sized", and claimed that ladies loved the way he looked. Hazel was pretty sure he hadn't ever been on a date in his life.
"Dang that girls perfume smelt good!" Leo laughed as he hooked arms with Hazel and continued down the hall. The younger girl glanced over to who he was referring to. The girl was in a cheer uniform and her black hair fell to her mid back. She had striking blue eyes and she was insanely beautiful. She held hands with an African-American football player. He smiled at his girlfriend with gentle eyes. That's Charles Beckondorf so she had to be Silena, Hazel thought. Hazel had heard about them, they were some of the decent and nice popular kids.
When Silena noticed them staring she waved. Her friend, who Hazel comprehended as Clarisse, rolled her eyes.
Leo flirtily waved back. Beckondorf didn't looked concerned, so Hazel assumed Silena was quite faithful to her boyfriend.
"Leo," Hazel started, loosening the tight lock between their arms, "its creepy that you smell girls."
He shrugged, "Why do they wear such strong stuff if they don't expect charming men like me to smell it."
Hazel laughed and shoved Leo's shoulder. "Yeah you're such a charmer. Jason's sister almost killed you when you hit on her!"
Leo looked up at the ceiling as if he was lost in thought. Hazel watched him knock some curls out of his eyes. "Oh yeah Thalia! Haven't seen her in, like, forever!"
She put hands to her temple and slightly smiled. "You are hopeless."
They chuckled again and turned the corner, stopping when they almost crashed into another girl. She held up her hands to balance herself. "Sorry! Totally my fault!" She stood up straight, scanning Hazel and Leo up and down. Her eyes settled on their arms hooked together. "Oh you guys are together? You guys are a really cute couple!" She gushed. Her straight blonde hair hung loosely in a ponytail and she had a huge grin on her face.
A huge blush appeared on Hazels face and she started stuttering, "Wha-No! Its..not-were not-!"
"I know right? Were finally being public about it!" Leo announced with a mischievous smile. His ears were a light shade of pink, so Hazel knew he was flushed too. But, of course, Leo wasn't gonna announce that.
She was about to respond by slapping Leo in the face when she heard a somewhat deep voice behind her. "Public about what?"
Hazel's face became more red, and she awkwardly turned around. ''Hey Frank!"
The blonde girls face immediately turned pale white and she squealed, "OH MY GOSH I'M SUCH A HOME WRECKER!" She then quickly scurried off.
Leo was the first to react, with a fit of laughter. "HAHAH! Who was that girl!? She was too ridiculous!"
Frank arched and eyebrow as if asking what the heck just happened?
Hazel shook her head in response, "Nothing."
The thing that bugged her the most was the fact that the stupid blonde girl used the term "home wrecker". She wasn't in a relationship with either Frank or Leo, so that girl technically wasn't breaking up any relationships.
Hazel was brought back to the real world when she saw how uncomfortable Frank looked. She hooked her other arm with his and continued down the hallway with her two best friends.
"Hey Hazel," she looked up at Franks dark eyes and her heart melted. Then she pushed those feelings aside. He was like three years older than her, more than Leo. Her feelings were so out of whack.
"Yeah?"
He smiled and continued. "Drew Tenaka is holding a back to school party tonight. If you were going I was wondering if you needed a ride?" With his free hand, he awkwardly fumbled with his sleeve.
Leo shared a look with the Asian boy over Hazel's head. "A party? Why was I not informed?!"
Frank rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath about how no one wanted Leo to be there. Leo didn't hear it.
"Anyways, buddy, can I have a ride too?'' he asked flashing a toothy grin.
Once again the older boy rolled his eyes and raked his fingers through his army cut hair. "Why Valdez? Can't you drive?"
Leo scoffed and gave Frank a look like he was insane. "Bruh, I'm only fifteen. Besides, I didn't even earn my permit. They said I have 'no peripheral vision' or something? And after I crashed into two stop signs, the angry driving lady threatened to leave me on the side of the road."
Frank laughed at that, causing Hazel to smile as well. "I'm not surprised. Sure whatever Valdez, I'll give you a ride."
Leo threw his fist in the air out of triumph. "Yes! All the girls will be all over me."
Frank raised his eyebrows at Leo's logic. "Yeah..all the girls will be all over a scrawny little sophomore.''
Leo decided to ignore the comment. "Hazel this means when you walk around, keep track of the girls who will be there and what perfume they're wearing."
Frank raised an eyebrow and cocked his head, but then shook his head deciding it was better not to ask.
Hazel smiled and her cinnamon colored hair bounced as she walked. "I'm happy you guys are getting along, and thanks for the offer, but I can't. I have to hang out with Nico tonight. He hasn't been talking to me, or anyone very much lately. He has always been kind of moody, but this past summer he was really depressed. So I need to figure out what is wrong with him. Besides, I don't think he would like me going to a high school party."
Leo's face fell. "Why don't he come? I mean, he might be a freshman, but that's okay. You guys can bond and come to the party!'' He smiled like it was the most obvious solution in the world.
Frank face palmed. "I don't think parties are really Nico's thing.. Right Hazel?" He was hoping he didn't offend Hazel. He didn't know Nico's story, but he knew he went through a lot of struggle. He knew Hazel didn't have a good relationship with their dad, who was never around anyway, but he especially knew Nico had a bad history with their father.
''No he hates parties." She responded.
"And people in general..." Leo added with a small hint of sarcasm.
Both of his friends scowled at him. "What?" He shrugged. "I'm sorry, but the last time I tried to talk to him all he did was stare at me and say 'don't talk to me.' And then he walked away."
Hazel furrowed her brows in worry. "Yeah I have no idea what his deal is. That's why I can't go to the party."
Hazel noticed the glance Frank and Leo shared. She guessed that was a confirmation that they won't be riding together.
Piper let out a breath she hadn't even realized she was holding as she slammed her locker. Her fourth period had been pretty rough. She was seated next to Drew Tanaka, who she had a rocky relationship with in the past anyways. But word gets around quickly in this god forsaken school, so when Drew found out Piper was dating Jason Grace, she made it her mission to destroy Piper.
Speaking of Jason, that was exactly who she was searching for. They were going to meet by the vending machines and then go have lunch together. When she arrived, he wasn't there yet. She stood there for a few minutes before feeling awkward as more and more people passed by. She rounded the corner, hoping maybe she would see him coming down the hallway.
Sure enough she saw Jason, but with someone she wish she didn't see him with. No, it wasn't Drew. That would have been much worse.
It was Reyna.
Now Reyna was actually pretty decent. Her and Jason had been close friends for a very long time, and that's what worried Piper the most. She could tell that Reyna had been crushing on him last year. She knew that Jason visited her a bit over the summer but he was mainly with Piper. Piper was grateful when he chose her over Reyna. It wasn't that she didn't like her. She tried to be friends with her. But Reyna closed herself off from others.
The Cherokee girl awkwardly stood against the wall, trying to look as normal as she could. She was trying to read their body language. She approved of it so far. There was a good distance between them. When they spoke, they only looked in each others eyes, they didn't wander...
When they finished speaking, Reyna gave Jason a squeeze on the shoulder. Piper wasn't too worried. Reyna didn't seem like a girl who would ruin beautiful relationships. Still...she had an uneasy feeling about her. She didn't need this drama in her life right now, it was only the first day of school.
Jason exchanged a few more words with her, then Reyna turned around and walked up next to a short boy with dark hair and clothes, who walked with a slouch. Piper thought he looked familiar, but didn't process it because her head was somewhere else.
Jason was walking in her direction so she ran back around the corner. She hid behind the wall for a few moments, while Jason settled in front of the vending machines pulling out his phone, probably wondering where she was. She took a deep breath, "Jason!" she called, making it look like she was rushing down the crowded hallways.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her as she straightened his crooked glasses. "I was wondering where you were." He kissed her on the forehead and they walked to the lunch room, hand in hand.
"Yeah,'' she stared at the floor, using her free hand to push some of her choppy, uneven hair behind her ear. "I was held up after class."
When they entered the lunchroom, the first people they came across were Dakota and Gwen.
''Hey guys," Gwen greeted with one hand on Dakota's back. "Do either of you want this?'' She held up a bottle of Kool-Aid. "Dakota has had way too much. Too much sugar and ADHD do not mix well."
After looking at Dakota's state, they logically assumed that there was something mixed with that Kool-Aid and Gwen was just being naive. They politely declined.
They made their way to the mostly empty table on the far right of the lunch room. They sat down and were greeted by Percy and Annabeth. They were the only ones out of the seven to have this lunch period.
"Hey man, what's up?" Percy fist bumped Jason and made some room for them to sit.
Piper picked some fries off of Annabeth's plate and began nibbling them. "So how has your day been so far?" she asked trying to start a conversation. She seemed to have a way with words, so starting a conversation has never been a problem for her.
Percy put down his cheeseburger and held out his palms. "Dude, I dunno what the deal is but..is it possible that more curse words were invented over the summer? I swear, there were like ten words said today that I didn't know. But in the context, they could only be bad words! They are worse than the horses.''
Piper must have been staring at him with a bewildered look because Annabeth started explaining. "Over the summer, Hazel took us to the stables to meet her horse Arion. Percy claims he could talk to the horses. And that Arion had very 'inappropriate' language."
Percy shook his head like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Yeah I talk to horses, like how Dory talks to whales in Finding Nemo."
Jason's eyes lit up at the mention of the Pixar film. ''Dude, I'm so psyched for Finding Dory."
Percy grinned and high-fived Jason over the table. "Yeah! Ellen is life.''
Piper giggled and Annabeth used her hand to conceal her snorts. "Annabeth, I hope our boyfriends aren't gonna dump us!" Piper joked.
Jason put his hand to his chin and wondered out loud, "Why would we do that?''
Annabeth and her shared knowing looks and smirked. "For each other!" They said in union.
They drew a couple stares but none of the four seemed to care, because both the boys were laughing too. "Percy is mah boy, but Piper is my girl." He kissed her nose and she blushed.
Percy nodded in agreement. "Same. Wise Girl, it's just you and me." He winked.
Annabeth snorted at the ridiculousness of her boyfriend. She pushed his face away. "You flirt worse than Leo!" She laughed. He was about to reach over and hug her when they heard a loud squeal.
"EEEKKKK!''
They all turned their attention to the crazy screaming girl. She had long blonde hair pulled back, and hazel eyes.
"Percabeth! Jasper!" She took two quick picks on her iPhone 6 and ran off.
The four sat in an awkward silence for a few minutes. Percy was about to say something about how freaking creepy that was, when someone sat down next to him.
It didn't take him long to digest who it was, because the frizzy red hair was kind of a red flag. Like, literally.
"Hey Rachel." Piper said. She didn't quite know Rachel as well as Annabeth and Percy did, but she knew she was one of the better kids who attended this school.
Annabeth leaned over the table and locked eyes with her. "Rachel are you okay?''
Rachel let out a huff of frustration. "Ugg. Sorry. It's just... Ugh I could just wring Octavian's neck!"
Everyone stared at her, because this was so unlike Rachel. "He had the nerve to say I suck at drawing!" She continued, "And he said that all the charity I do is a waste of time and that I'm a fake! Like a fake what? He is so stupid!"
Jason gave her a half a smile. ''Trust me, I know he's a pain. So what did you do when he said all that stuff?"
Rachel shrugged and dug into her overly sized bag. She pulled out a blue hair brush, "I threw this at him."
Annabeth smiled-a sincere smile-and gave Rachel a high-five.
Piper put a hand to her chin. She knew Annabeth and Rachel weren't always friends. She knew back in the day that Rachel had a thing for Percy, and Annabeth was bitter about it. But now they looked totally cool with each other. Hopefully, that could be her and Reyna in the future. The problem; Reyna was not nearly as friendly as Rachel.
She was now accepting the fact that her and Reyna will be friends, but she had to make sure Jason was on board with it too. So while all the others were distracted with complimenting Rachel on her defense skills, Piper pulled Jason aside. She trusted Jason, but she needed to be one hundred percent sure he was honest with her. "Jason, what were you doing before you met me at the vending machines?"
Jason just turned his head and gave her a confused smile. He gripped her hands and gave them a quick, gentlemen kiss. "I was just talking to Reyna, about boring student council crap."
Jason half-expected her to wince at the name, knowing that Reyna was an uncomfortable subject for Piper. That's why he was genuinely surprised when she broke out into a humongous grin. He wasn't quite sure why she was smiling like the joker, but he was happy that she was happy.
Piper didn't explain her question to Jason, and didn't feel she needed to. She made a mental note to thank Rachel and Annabeth for indirectly giving her the confidence boost to stand up to her worst fear:
Reyna stealing Jason from her.
Nico didn't make eye contact with any of the kids as he walked down the halls of this darn school. He hated it here. He hated being a freshman, he hated being so short, and he hated being in such a crammed space with so many people. He hated direct contact, unless he was punching a guy in the face.
The only person he talked to all day was Hazel, his sister. She wasn't suppose to be in high school, yet she actually had friends. Now that he thought about it, there was one other girl who had talked to him, but it was just a junior girl asking for his opinion on the school. She had braided hair and was apparently part of student council, wanting to know his opinion cause she could just "tell" he was a freshman. He just shrugged, scowled, and walked away.
He shoved around kids, who immediately jumped when he passed. Some kids muttered about how creepy he looked. He rolled his eyes. These kids were just way too judgmental, and that's why he past on every opportunity to make friends.
He turned into his last class of the day, some sort of history class he didn't care about. He some how managed to make it into an advanced class although he faked his way through his homework half the time. He hadn't always been like this. He has always been intelligent, but back when he lived with his mom and older sister... he had cared more about his grades. His personality had changed drastically because of the incident.
Nico dragged his heavy, book bag behind him and took his seat in the back corner. Unfortunately, he was not alone. There were no other seats so he was stuck sitting next to a girl he never met before. He assumed she was a grade ahead, considering he was in an advanced class. She had black hair that was cut pretty short, hanging around her face down to her collarbone. She wore thick, black nerd glasses, and a purple hoodie. The side of her binder read: Lou Ellen.
She smiled brightly at him, which he didn't expect. "Hi I'm Lou Ellen, what's your name?"
He awkwardly took his books out and placed them on the table, looking at her from the corner of his eye. ''Nico..." he finally answered.
She leaned toward him and pushed her glasses up on her nose. "Are you a freshman?"
He scowled and slowly nodded. Why did this obnoxious girl wanna know so much about him?
"Aww, yeah I can tell. You look all timid and stuff. But stick with me, I got you." She snapped her fingers and winked at him.
"Lou Ellen! Stop scaring the kid!" called a voice from the other side of the class. He had a dark green hoody on with messy blonde hair and hazel eyes.
Lou Ellen rolled her eyes and glanced over her shoulder. "I'm not scaring him Cecil."
Cecil raised an eyebrow and glanced at the kid who sat next to him. The boy was hunched over in his seat with his face in a book, his blonde hair fell into his face. ''What do you think Will?"
The blonde boy held up his hand, but his eyes didn't leave his book. "Not now Cecil. I'm studying."
Cecil mouthed something to Lou Ellen, which made her giggle in response. "Will, it's the first day of school and you're already studying?'' she asked.
Will didn't answer this time and stuck his face farther into his medical book.
Nico scooted his chair a little bit farther from Lou Ellen. She seemed nice. Something he hated in people. All nice people were actually liars in disguise. That's why he was the way he was. He wasn't gonna be some fake person pretending to be happy all the time.
He also wasn't good with socializing, so he didn't actually know how to respond to Lou Ellen's constant energy. She continued to try and make conversation, which he ignored each time. For once, he was thankful when the teacher came into the room.
Unfortunately, this teacher wasn't like many others. He showed them the syllabus and explained the rules. He said if you needed a pencil or to use the bathroom, don't ask just go, as long as you have the pass. He also gave them the freedom to speak. He explained how most of the work is individual and he will occasionally be teaching in front of the class. So as long as they get their work done, they have the privilege to talk throughout class.
This was bad news for Nico. He loved dead silence in classrooms. That helped him think better. Not to mention this Lou Ellen girl will be running her mouth a lot.
After the teacher finished his stupid power point, he already assigned something to the class.
Nico wrote his name at the top of the paper and began reading. It was just three pages of explaining the differences between Islam, Christianity, and Atheism.
He pulled out his neon yellow highlighter, which he sure looked kind of odd contrasting against the dark colors he wore. The volume of the room had gone up greatly since the teacher finished his presentation, and as expected, the teacher did not care.
''Hey Lou Ellen." Nico heard a voice say. Since whatever their conversation was didn't concern him, he continued highlighting the important parts of the packet. "Can I borrow a pencil?" The voice asked her.
Although Nico couldn't care less about the unprepared person who needed a pencil, the voice sounded faintly familiar and his curiosity got the best of him, so he looked up at the figure standing in front of his neighbors desk. He noticed it was the same boy who was studying. His blonde hair now did not cover his face and Nico got a good look. The blue eyes and the freckles that sprinkled across his whole face were very familiar.
"Sure Will." Lou Ellen responded.
Then it clicked. After hearing the name again, he remembered. Will Solace. Will Solace was a year ahead of him, but they had attended the same Jr. High. They were never close, but he'd remember that mop of blonde hair anywhere. Although he looked the same, he looked much taller now, and had a little more muscle. He was wearing the clothes he typically wore back in middle school: a surfer shirt, jean cut off shorts, and flip flops. He wore rainbow bracelets and a beaded necklace. This boy naturally looked like he belonged in Australia on the beach.
"Thanks." It seemed like it took forever for him to answer, or maybe it was just because a thousand thoughts popped into Nico's head at once. "I had to get away from Cecil for a minute. He couldn't stop commenting on every little thing he read. And he wouldn't stop stealing my eraser.''
Lou Ellen giggled for the thousandth time today and rummaged through her pencil case for Will. There was a comfortable silence between the two, as Will hummed a tune Nico didn't recognize. He finally noticed who his long time friend was sitting next to."Nico?"
Nico shook some hair into his face to try and cover up his embarrassment. Will probably noticed him staring. "Solace." he greeted, for that is what he had always called him.
Lou Ellen looked between the two. "You guys know each other?"
Will waved his hand and took the pencil she handed him. "Well sure. Nico and me went to the same middle school. Though honestly, I didn't expect to see you in this class Nico."
Nico's signature scowl returned to his face and he blinked. "Gee thanks."
Will shrugged, rolling the pencil in his fingers. "I didn't mean any disrespect. I just didn't think history was your thing.''
The dark haired boy set his highlighter down. "It's not. And as far as I can remember, it's not your's either."
The blonde teen now loosely held the pencil between is fingers and pointed at Nico. "Yeah, but this is an average class for me. For you, little guy, it's an advanced class."
Nico gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. "Do not call me little guy."
Will shrugged. "Whatever dude."
Nico sat back in his chair, arms crossed. "Just go away Solace."
Solace grinned and headed back to his seat. "This won't be our last conversation." He said over his shoulder.
Surprisingly, Lou Ellen didn't comment on that little encounter. However, Nico did hear the girl silently squeal to herself.
He groaned.
He always thought of Will as 'laid back'. If you minded your own business, he would mind his. But apparently he was quite the opposite. It was very opposite really. Most people don't take to Nico as easily as Will did.
By the end of the class, Will hadn't even glanced in Nico's direction. Nico was a bit worried he might have offended his classmate, but then cursed himself for thinking that way. Why would he feel bad anyway? He didn't do anything wrong, Will was the nosy one.
The one thing that did surprise him was the fact that the blonde boy didn't even try to speak to him after class. Will just grabbed his stuff and left, without a word. For some reason, Nico figured it would be like some cliche movie Hazel made him watch. Where the guy would constantly follow the girl around the school, and she would constantly push him away. Until eventually she falls for him and they get together. Nico hates how in movies they leave out the parts where the happy couple eventually breaks up or they die.
Nico blinked away those thoughts though, still confused as to how his brain had even considered it. He didn't like Will Solace, and Will Solace certainly did not like him. Either way, even if the scenario did play out that way, it would make him the girl. Which was not okay.
He finished up at his locker, then set off to find his sister. He waited in front of the school, where she showed up with her friends Leo and Frank. They waved at him, and he responded with a nod.
He was a bit surprised when Hazel ran up and embraced him, but he accepted the hug. They headed for home, and to start conversation, Hazel asked, "So how do you like Mr. Blofis' class?"
Hey guys! Okay so it kind of sucks but im experimenting! So main couples will probably be Percabeth, Solangelo, Frazel, And Jasper. (Wasn't originally gonna do a lot of Jasper but it kind of just happens) Then probably eventual Caleo.
Anyways, I have chapter two typed out all ready, and i was originally gonna type it all out first before i posted anything but i just couldn't wait. So sorry if there is a long gap between updates. And yes i did make a reference to Magnus :P Couldn't help it i love that guy! He is like Persassy Jr.
Also, I have no idea where this is going so feel free to PM me with ideas. (keep it clean. i will probably have a few curse words here and there, just to make it realistic. But no weird stuff please)
And if you noticed, I'm gonna try to make the chapter titles weird, like they are Percy's POV. I just love Uncle Rick so much I have to steal his crazy chapter ideas.
Also, sorry for mentioning Nico in, like, every persons POV...OH WAIT NO IM NOT! ^-^
Until next time~MyLifeIsALie
