Chapter 1
Nico POV
Hello everyone, so I wanted to try making a fanfiction that I'll actually keep updating, but I don't know how long my updates will take, could be days, could be months. But I would love it if you would review this and tell me what you think!
I sighed as I set down the last box and flopped down on my bed. Which I no doubt shouldn't have done until I put my sheets on. "Nico," my roommate, Percy, called to me. I looked up and saw that he was standing above me. Percy had black hair and green eyes and was undoubtedly cute. "I'm going to meet up with my friend, Jason. Do you want to come?" He asked, smiling. "I'll just stay here and start unpacking," I said, not looking at him. Truth was, I just wasn't great at talking to unfamiliar people, but I had only met him a couple minutes ago, so he didn't know that yet. He shrugged and left, leaving me alone in our dorm room.
I stood up and started to unpack. I put my black sheets on my bed and unpacked some of my belongings. I put the picture of my sister, Bianca, on my desk. She had raised me ever since our Mom died when we were young. Our Dad left before we were born. But she died a few years ago. She pushed me out of the way of a car, and it hit her instead. I still felt guilty about her death.
I glanced up from the picture and noticed at Percy's side of the room. He was already mostly unpacked by the time I had gotten here. While my side was mostly black, he seemed to love the color blue. Weird. When I finished unpacking, I got up and decided to find the nearest McDonalds.
When I walked outside I heard "Look out!" And just had time to turn and look when a soccer ball smashed into my face. I wouldn't recommend it. I rubbed my nose and my hand came away bloody. Great. "Nico!" I looked up and saw Percy running towards me, closely followed by a boy with blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and a little scar on his upper lip. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," the blonde boy apologized immediately. "I'm Jason Grace, and again, I'm so sorry." "Yeah, okay, I'm fine," I lied, trying to make a fast escape. "No, you need to go to the infirmary!" Percy exclaimed. "Like hell I will," I told him, trying to walk away. But Percy had already grabbed my arm and started dragging me back into the building, and I'll admit I didn't put up that much of a fight. Some ice for my nose would be fairly helpful at this point. I could see Jason trying to decide what to do, but eventually he ended up walking behind us.
We made it to the front where the infirmary was, and Percy dragged me inside, with Jason coming up behind us. I was scowling when Percy went up to the nearest person who looked like they worked here and told him what happened. Then he turned around to look at me.
Holy Hephaestus. This boy had shaggy blonde hair, blue eyes, and was probably the cutest guy I had ever seen. Then he started walking towards me. "Hi, I'm Will," He said, reaching out to shake my hand. I just stared at it until he frowned and dropped his hand by his side. Nice going, Nico. I was just making him feel uneasy. He took one look at my nose, or rather, the blood coming from my nose, and promptly went into doctor mode. I was already breathing through my mouth instead of my nose (I wasn't an idiot), so he told me to apply pressure and got me an ice pack, explaining that the cold would help stop the bleeding. I was just staring at him throughout this, presumably creeping him out.
Percy and Jason were just standing at the side, looking unsure of what to do. Eventually, he told me I was good to go, and we left, with me feeling like an idiot. I didn't know what to do after that. So I figured I would go back to my dorm room and wait until my nose stopped hurting. Or until I could get Will out of my head.
