Will's side

Will rolled over and checked his phone for any messages he may have missed. Will had a few missed calls from Kayla, probably to tell him she left early for classes so she couldn't drive him to school. Unwillingly stepping out of bed, Will took in the sunshine beaming through his window. He ran his hands through his hair and smirked to himself. He grew a teal colored T-shirt over his head and a pair of shorts. He ran to the bathroom and brushed his teeth and ran back out. He grabbed his phone and his book bag and yelled down the hall.

"Alright everyone, I hope your up because if your not them I'm leaving you behind!" A couple of groans we're audible from across the hall but he ignored them.

In a few minutes everyone was at the front door waiting to be driven to school.

" Oh I forgot, Kayla isn't here to drive us. You'll be stuck with me behind the wheel." A few of his siblings rolled their eyes but otherwise no objections were made.

The ride in Will's van was filled with jokes and laughter and when he pulled up to the parking lot they all went their separate ways. Will searched for any signs of Leo, Frank, Piper, Percy or Jason. He walked the the hallways calmly as if he was in no rush at all. He started heading towards Jason's locker where Will spotted the rest of the group and saw them all huddled around something or someone. When they noticed Will they all jumped and Percy was looking happier than usual.

"Spill."Will said. Not knowing what the situation was but since they all got excited over little stuff all the time he figured it wouldn't anything special.

"Well, um. Me and Annabeth, are kind of together now." Percy scratched the back of his neck nervously awaiting a reaction from Will.

"Congrats!" Will giving gave Percy an unexpected hug but only for one reason. He looked up and everyone while hugging Percy and smirked the rest of the group tried to stifle laughs. "We knew it had would happen some day, it was getting painful to watch them hopelessly flirting." Will mouthed.

As everyone tried to stifle their laughs and giggles, Will released Percy from the hug. The bell rang and they said their goodbyes and rushed in different directions down the hall.

Will stepped into French class and took his seat in the middle. The class wasn't boring to him, but he couldn't stay focused. So he sat there staring into oblivion and focusing on twirling his pencil around in his hands. Time passed seemed to pass more slowly the more he glanced up at the clock, so he stopped focusing on the clock and on anything else that didn't relate to school. His next class was with Percy. So he met Percy at his locker and they walked to class together laughing about any inside joke imaginable. A brown hair girl with a large grey shirt, black tights, uggs and a Starbucks coffee stood in front of them blocking their path. And cleared her throught.

"Hello, Percy." She gave him a warm smile and then gave Will a serious look. " Will, where have you been? We were supposed to grab donuts." She started a conversation as if all of them didn't have a class to be in, in at least 30 seconds.

" Oh, um. I may have fallen asleep?" The girl chuckled.

"No problem, I may have too." She admitted, they all laughed.

"Hey Jane?" Percy called out the the girl as they went seperate ways.

"What?"

"Guess who's got a date?" Jane rolled her eyes and replied. "You."

Percy laughed, he loved getting the attention. And Jane their new friend they mad at high school was the perfect person to brag too. The bragging battles were always on when it came to them.

Nico's side

Hazel and Nico joined in the hallway walked to the cafeteria together. Nico was having nightmares more than usual so Hazel made it a priority to put Nico first.

"I'm fine." Nico lied.

Hazel smiled at Nico but didn't say anything. Nico knew that Hazel knew he was lying but he didn't care anyways. Hazel always knew when not to push Nico, she always knew the what to do, every time. Walking into the cafeteria, Hazel motioned towards a table close to Will's just so she could be close to her other friends, but at the same time talk to Nico.

Will's table was roaring with laughter. Nico rolled his eyes and huffed. He looked up and saw Hazel staring at him.

"What?" Nico asked.

"You seem bothered."

"Of course I do, their stronzi who can't shut up every once in a while." Nico spat.

"Nico, that's not nice of you to say." Hazel gave Nico a stern look.

Nico rolled his eyes, knowing the only reason she even responded was because Frank was sitting at the table. Nico stood up and dumped his tray full of food and sat back down at the table. Hazel wasn't glaring at him or showing the slightest hint that she was worried. She just studied him.

"You do know you'll have to eat eventually right?"

"Yeah, as if I had any other option. Food keeps you alive." Nico said sarcastically.

"I'm serious, unless you want be pestering you every time something happens. I suggest you eat an apple at least." Hazel explained.

Nico rolled his eyes, and started to get up but Hazel grabbed hold of his hand and sat him back down. Being careful not to touch his wrist. Hazel pointed her head to Will's table.

"I want you to meet some of my friends." Hazel announced, her grip loosened .

Nico jerked his hand backward and was finally free of Hazel's grip and swiftly got up.

"No grazie." Nico called out from behind him.

Nico walked to the park and whipped out his phone. Feeling I'm need of someone so he called the one person he actually to talked to besides Hazel. Ross, the asshole that was extremely hot.

Nico: Where are you?

Ross: Here

Nico: Stronzo, where is "here".

Ross: Where I'm at.

Nico: Twat

Ross: I'm not that bad

Nico: Meet me at the park

Ross: Do you know how many parks there are?

Nico: Yes, and you know which one I'm talking about.

Within a few minutes Ross was walking towards Nico who was sitting on a bench listening to twenty one pilots. Ross sat down and took out one of Nico's headphones. He plugged one in and they both hummed the lyrics not saying much of anything. After a while the sun started to set. Nico knew Hazel was gonna freak at the thought of him skipping out on the rest of school but at the moment he didn't care. The two of them just sat there staring into the sunset.

"Well this is cheesy." Ross blurted out louder than he meant to. Nico pauses the music and looked up at the sky. He smirked.

"The sky's nice?" Ross shrugged. Trying to make the situation less awkward but failed deeply.

Nico looked down at his feet but didn't say anything. Leaving Ross shifting uncomfortably in his seat. He put a hand on Nico's chin and turned his face to look at his. Nico didn't comment on it, but he wasn't one to be touched. While Nico was trying to figure out what to do in this situation he felt soft lips touch his. Ross. Nico thought, and for a moment Nico forgot about his nightmares about Bianca, The loud kids, and Hazel trying to put him back together like a broken glass that was completely shattered. Nico finally gave into the kiss, maybe a kiss was what he needed at the moment. Ross put his hand around Nico's neck and pulled him into a deeper kiss.

Nico and Ross pulled away completely flustered. Both of them swarming with mixed up feelings. Nico was the one to shift uncomfortably in his seat this time. Ross avoided eye contact with Nico.

"Can we just um... pretend that never happened?" Nico nodded for he was at a loss for words. Both boys getting up to go their separate ways.

"Still friends right?" Ross asked before they were almost out of ear range.

"Yeah." Nico said. "Still friends."

Nico took a moment to gather his thoughts together, he couldn't figure out if he just made a mistake or created a possible escape from his problems.

I think I messed up. Nico thought.
