Nico At School?
Chapter 1
AN: OK, so this is just the intro to the story it will start when they reach London and have to figure out how to get to Diogun Alley and get all their things. Or it might start while they are on the train I'm not so sure yet, but yeah they are still at Camp right now and so enjoy review and i hope that you all like it! So here is chapter 1!
Nico's POV:
I will be going to a new school this year, in London. That's right London, England. The school is called Warty Hog. Wait no that's not right, sorry Hogwarts. Not better but I guess it's a little better than Warty Hog, I mean what kind of mascot is that? Well, Hades and Persephone think it will be a great learning experience if I go to a different country for a school year. In other words they are sick of me and want me out of the house for a few months. I don't really care about that but my main problem is that it is a Demigod school. And most of them are either Ares, Hecate, or you know the roman version or them. I can't believe that this school is still up and you not burned, destroyed, etc. But nope apparently it's been up for a few hundred years. Like since the Gods were in England.
Another one of my problems with it is that none of my camp friends go there. I think a few of the Ares and Hecate girls go just because they can and get a scholarship but I don't think that any of the boys from camp go, weird. I haven't told my friends yet, or Hazel my little/older half-sister. I don't really want to tell them but I feel like I should since I said I might go to Goode High School this year, even though I shouldn't for another year.
"What's up Nico?"
I turn and see that Percy has walked into my cabin. I look at him and say, "They sky, Zeus, Olympus, the sun, probable other gods but I'm too lazy to name them."
He smiles at me and chuckles a little then says, "Hey, so get this a ton of us have to go to this new school. Can you believe this stupid crap, I mean it's like in England or something!"
I look at him and ask, "Hogwarts?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"My dad and step mom are sending me there this year."
"No kidding that's what Poseidon is doing to me!"
"Who else is going?"
"Conner, Travis, Annabeth, Leo, Frank, Piper, Grover, Thalia, Rachel, Reyna, Jason, and I think Hazel."
"Wow! Really?"
"Yeah dude!"
"Well, get out so I can pack!"
Percy walks out and I pull out my duffel bag. I put all my favorite t-shirts, jeans, black pants, baseball hat, my knife, some drachma, some mortal cash, a jacket, some socks, and another pair of shoes. I look at the bag and it looks just about one-third full. I look and see that it was all I owned. This makes me a little sad but I remember something else. I pull out from under my matrices and put the 5 by 7 wood box into the bag with all my other things. I smile and then zip up the bag.
Leo's POV:
I was packing for London when Percy came in.
"Hey Leo!"
"Hey Percy so is Nico going?"
"Yup!"
I nod then go back to packing. I have all my cloths put in the suitcase but only about half of the first pocket is full. I look around and grab: My computer, a thousand blueprints, my favorite books (that's right Annabeth isn't the only one who reads), a few of my personal favorite do dads, and then my NEW army jacket prefilled with bolts, springs, and other wise!
I look and see that my cabin is watching me pack. I look at them and say, "Hey y'all! What's with all the sad faces?"
"Your leaving." Says one of the younger kids.
I look at her and say, "Yeah but I will be back at the beginning of summer, Christmas break, and I will try to be here for Spring break!"
She hugs me and I feel like I am about to cry. I hold back the tears and say to the older kids, "Take care of everyone! Be good to each other, and um, don't get killed!"
They laugh and give me pats on the back, hugs and some high fives.
I take my bag and look at my cabin for a last time. I smile and then start to Thalia's tree.
Annabeth's POV:
Percy comes in and looks at what I am doing. I am packing all my things into a gray suitcase and I don't understand why he was finding it so interesting. I finally look at him and say, "Yes?"
"You look pretty when you are focused!"
"You're really stupid sometimes seaweed brain." I say with a laugh. Percy wraps his hands around my waist and I smile. I turn around and look into sea green eyes. His smile is stupidly happy but I don't care. I laugh and he kisses me, when we break our kiss I see that Malcolm just stepped in. I mean how good his timing is he will just find us every time we kiss. I mean does he sniff us out like a dog or something?!
"Hey, Percy."
"Hey Malcolm"
"So kissing my sister in my cabin again."
"Yeah, this isn't as bad as it looks."
"Um, I think it is."
"OK, it is but really don't be mad!"
"Why would I be mad?"
"Um, well Annabeth I will talk to you on the bus. See you at the hill. Gotta go pack myself so bye. Nice to talk to you again, Malcolm."
"Like wise Percy." Malcolm tells him.
I wave at his retreating figure and finish putting all my things away.
As I walk to the hill I see that Leo, Hazel, Nico, and Frank already there. I continue to walk until I reach them.
Percy's POV:
I sprint to my cabin and then shut the door; I already have one bag filled with my cloths now I just need to fill the other with my things. I put my shield, some pictures, a tooth-brush, tooth paste, some gum, a bottle of salt water, a box of random things, and my wallet. I look at the little bag and say, "Yeah, this'll fit." And try to shove it into the bigger bag. Thankfully I only used like half of the bag.
"Where are you going brother?"
I turn to see that Tyson is just walking into the cabin. I smile and say, "School"
"But school starts in a week!"
"I'm going to another school this year." I don't meet Tyson's eyes knowing what is coming next, 'why can't Tyson come?'—he will ask, but I will be the one to tell him that he can't come because of the no monster rule. I'm trying to think of a way to tell him nicely but I am finding none. I'm about to say something when he says, "So am I!"
I look up from my bag and give him a quisicle look, "What do you mean?"
"I am going to a school in London with Nico!"
"And Hazel, Annabeth, Frank, Jason, Reyna, Rachel, Leo, Piper, Thalia and I."
Tyson smiles at me and I smile back, "Well, you got a bag packed?"
Tyson holds up the giant duffel bag in his left arm and says, "Yes!"
I laugh and pick up my bag, we smile and walk to Thalia's Tree where Frank, Nico, Leo, and Annabeth are standing. I wave to them and Annabeth drops her bag running to me. I smile and then see that she is freaked. I pull out Riptide and say, "Where is the monster?!"
Tyson pulls out his club and a thing of Jiff peanut butter. Annabeth runs to us panting and says, "GIANT SPIDER!"
I nod and run up the hill I look around expecting like a thirty foot tall spider with venomous fangs but I see nothing. I turn and see that Annabeth is hiding behind Tyson. I say, "Where?"
She points to the tree and I see that on the mortal side there is a large garden spider, about five inches long and three wide, yellow and black speckled. I look at Annabeth and say, "Really?" she nods and points for me to kill it. I shake my head but move the spider off to one of the other trees. Annabeth comes out from behind Tyson and smiles thankfully.
"Sorry, Annabeth. I didn't know that you are scared of spiders."
"It's fine Frank, you didn't know. I mean how are you supposed to, but yeah next time you see a spider keep it to yourself. OK?"
Frank nods and Hazel falls out of Thalia's tree. I look at her and say, "How did you get up there?"
"I was trying to shadow travel, it didn't work so well."
"Don't worry you'll get the hang of it eventually." Nico tells her.
She nods and Frank helps her off the ground. Arion comes running up and I jump thirty feet in the air it feels like. Hazel pats him and draws up a large chunk of gold, feeds it to him, then says, "Good boy."
Frank steps away from the horse and I do the same. Tyson steps up to him and says, "Good horsey!"
Hazel and him pet and brush him till Jason and Piper come running up. Nico and Leo give them a look that clearly says, "So what naughtiness have you two been up too?"
"Shut up Nico/Leo," Jason tells them. They drop their bags on the pile that is being made at the top of the hill and then they stand their awkwardly. Everyone purposely stares at them until Piper finally says, "What we can't kiss?!" We all laugh and smile at the awkward couple and then go back to what we had talked about before they had shown up.
"Hello, everyone!" we see that Thalia in the flesh has shown up.
"Are you coming?" Annabeth asks.
"Yes, I am." She looks at us as if someone would say anything different. I laugh and see that the Van is ready for us. I nod to the others and they pick up their bags and head down the hill to it.
