"Nico, wake up. Today's your first day of school!"

Urrrgghhhh. School. The one thing in every kids' life that's terrible. I slowly get up from bed when my mom, Persephone, calls me. I trudge across my room and open the door.

"Do I have to go to school?" I ask.

"Yes. What's wrong with school?" My mom asks.

"Everything."

"Well, you have to go, so get dressed, breakfast is almost ready." She walks back down the hall and into the kitchen.

My family just moved to New York from California and, to be honest, I'm not very excited about going to school here. November in New York is very different from November in California. In Cali, all you need is a light jacket. Here, you need a coat, hat, gloves, and a scarf. But, while I'm here, I might as well learn to enjoy it. I walk over to my closet and pick out a simple outfit for my first day; a black top, black skinny jeans, and original black converses. Just as I finish getting dressed my mom calls me downstairs for breakfast.

"Wow. Really colorful outfit you got on Nico," My sister Hazel says. "You must really want to be noticed today."

I roll my eyes at her and sit down at the table. My mom has made pancakes, eggs, bacon, and cappuccinos. As I start digging in to the delicious food, my father walks in and sits across from me.

"Are you excited for your first day?" he asks me.

"Kinda. I just don't know what to expect."

"Oh, you'll be fine."

I shrug as I finish eating and grab my things from my room before I head out the door with Hazel. We arrive at school 5 minutes later and go to the office to get our schedules. I wave Hazel goodbye before walking to my first class of the day.

As soon as I walked in the door, I was nearly blinded. THE MOST beautiful boy ive ever seen was sitting at a desk in the middle row. His eyes were the deepest green and he had messy, yet cute, jet black hair. I just wanted to kiss him, and love him with all my heart.

"Oh, you must be Nico."

I turn around and see a middle aged man standing behind me.

"Yes, that's me." I reply.

"Welcome to Goode High. My name's Mr. Baker. Ill be your science teacher this school year. The only available seat we have is next to Percy." He points to seat next the beautiful boy and suddenly I couldn't breathe.
