I ACCTUALY JUST FINISHED THE PJO SEREIS AND I HAVENT READ THE HEROES OF OLYMPUS SEREIES YET, SO THERE'S NONE OF THE STUFF FROM THAT. THIS IS JUST MY TAKE ON WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO NICO IF AFTER THE LAST OLYMIPAN, HE ENDED UP IN BAYVILLE.
READ AND REVIEW!
Nico Di Angelo, now 14 years old, sighed as he sat in the back of the Social Services car on the way to Bayville's Home for Boys.
He decided he didn't want to stay at Camp Half Blood or in the Underworld with his Dad for the school year for one reason or another, but now he realized how poorly thought out he had done this.
He wasn't an orphan or anything, but what was he supposed to tell the police people when he was caught by the owner of the Motel he had snuck into for the night? That his dad was the Greek God Hades, or that he had a place to stay, a summer camp that no mortals could see? And he couldn't run away either unless he wanted to be on the FIND THIS RUNAWAY CHILD list.
But this isn't all bad, Nico decided as he sat in the Social Services car. At the boys home, some stuff like food would be paid for, he wouldn't have to risk getting busted for breaking into a motel room to spend a night, and Bayville was very close to New York city so if he had to get to Camp, he wasn't too far away.
They reached the Orphanage and quickly added Nico into their system.
The place was rather large, and smelled a bit like a zoo, but other than that, it seemed okay.
Nico lucked out and got his own room since all the other occupied rooms didn't have room for another roommate. So now, Nico tossed his backpack of stuff down on the twin sized bed and looked around his new room.
The walls were painted blue, but the paint was heavily chipping in some places revealing a previous brown coat of paint underneath. Nico actually thought it looked okay, but the person showing him around that they were planning on fixing the paint job soon.
There were also three other beds in the room besides Nico's, and three other wardrobes.
The room was large, since being designed to house 4 boys, but Nico had it all to himself, and he was fine with that, even if it was kinda lonely. But at least he could put the four twin beds as close together as possible and make a bigger bed.
Also another advantage, Nico could summon his sword from the shadows and practice all he wanted against invisible enemies and no one would know.
Nico was given a folder with a few things he needed to know, and then they left him in his room.
There was a schedule for the Orphanage, saying when breakfast, lunch and dinner would be served, when they did and didn't have access to the kitchen for snacks, and a calendar where they listed some group activities that he could participate in if he wished.
There was also a notification that he would become a 9th grader, or freshman, and Bayville High School starting in two weeks and there was a list for him to select classes.
Nico hadn't been to school since he'd been sent to military school before he found out about his parentage. He was smart, really smart, but he didn't know if he would do so well in public school. He didn't know if he'd gone to school before the Lotus Hotel, probably not.
Nico didn't really care about schooling, but if he didn't choose his own classes, he would get put in classes he probably wouldn't like and then he would have to go to them anyway. And if he was going to keep a lower profile, like a billion people in the Greek not-mythological world had told him to do, he was gonna have to go to school at least some of the time or get in trouble.
He was required to take one English, one Math, one Science and one Social Studies/History class and one PE class, plus 5 other classes of his chose as electives, making 10 classes, 5 classes a day.
So he took these classes:
English 9 (English)
Secondary Math (math)
Biology (science)
9th grade Phys. Ed. (PE)
Current Events (Social studies/history)
Woodshop (other class #1)
Computer Technology (other class #2)
Sculpture (other class #3)
Mythology (other class #4 and so he could laugh at all the inaccuracies and still get an easy A)
Photography/Video Making (other class #5)
He set the class choosing sheet aside, he would take it down when it was time for Lunch, since it was still early morning.
Nico sat down on his new bed and looked around. Nico was still deciding if it was going to be Hades or okay here.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Nico decided it was Hades at the orphanage.
The other boys seemed to think he was weird, and flicked food at him whenever they could. Nico would eat in his room away from the other boys, but it was against the rules to take food outside of the kitchen.
But today just might make things worse or better. Today was Nico's first day at Bayville high… his first day of normal high school.
Honestly, Nico was a bit nervous. The last time he'd been to school, he got kidnapped by a manticore and lost his sister, Bianca to Artemis's Hunters, which then in turned sparked the chain of events that was Nico's incredibly strange life.
Wisely deciding to skip breakfast, seeing as there was an all out food fight going on by the time he came down for breakfast, he grabbed his bag full of school stuff and began walking, as opposed to waiting another 30 minutes for the orphanage van to be loaded up and driven to the school.
Nico had to be at school early today anyways. He needed to pick up his schedule, find his locker, find his classes and familiarize himself with the school layout since he was going to be here for a while.
After a 15 minute walk, Nico arrived at the front doors of the school. There weren't many other students there yet since it was only about 7:15 and classes started at 8. That left 45 minutes to get his stuff and explore.
He asked one of the very few students already at school where the main office was, and then he didn't speak, make a sound or stop until he entered the office.
He opened the door into the office and was met by the sight of a woman wearing a purplish business suit and skirt, and matching high heels and dark brown hair. The tag on the front of the desk she sat behind identified her as the Principal, Miss Darkholme.
"Yes?" she asked looking up from whatever paper work she was doing.
"Uh, hi. I'm Nico Di Angelo," Nico said.
"Ah, yes, the new student, sit and I'll get your stuff out," she said coldly.
Nico hesitantly took a seat. He was getting bad vibes from this lady, or maybe it was just the fact that her last name was Darkholme. Names like that combined with her cold attitude usually screams monster.
"Here it is," she said pulling out a file, "Nico di Angelo, only previous school records from 4 years ago at a Military school you were dismissed from. ADHD and dyslexic, current residence, the Bayville Orphanage for boys. Here is your schedule, now get out, I have more important matters to attend to."
The way she said that last bit kinda reminded him of Mr. D. Dismissive, rude and doesn't like teenagers much.
Nico took his papers and left the office quickly, not liking being in there at all. Once he was outside the office, he made a mental note to keep an eye on that woman, and then he turned to his schedule.
It took him a while with his dyslexia, but he managed to read the paper with his classes, happy to find he got into all the classes he signed up for.

Today was a Monday, and happened to be an A day. So he set out to locate his first class, Biology.
He passed a few other doors that would be for his other classes and took note of their location. I few minutes later, he located his classroom. The door was locked and the lights were off, showing that the teacher of this room was yet to arrive, so Nico went to find the remaining classrooms of his he hadn't located yet.
The school began filling up with students as 8 o'clock grew nearer. The boys from the orphanage showed up at some point. As he passed them in the halls, they didn't pay much attention to Nico. In fact, Nico seemed to be invisible to just about everyone at the school.
It wasn't until 5 minutes to 8 that someone talked to Nico. And it was mainly because the other had been running through the halls and literally crashed into Nico when he came around the corner.
They boy wall tall, looked maybe 17, and had silvery white hair, but not like an old person's white kinda of hair. He wore a brown long sleeve and some skinny jeans.
"Watch it!" the boy snapped.
"Not my fault you can't walk in a hallway," Nico muttered in reply, standing up.
"Whose the newbie yo?" another boy, with an unhealthy looking tinge of green to his skin and would probably kill a satyr with his smell if he got too close to one.
A third boy with long brown hair and torn up jeans grabbed Nico's dropped schedule before Nico could collect it.
"Nico di Angelo, new student hu?" he said, reading the top of his schedule, the green guy leaning over his shoulder.
"Yep," Nico replied bluntly and plucked his paper out of the other's hands.
A forth boy, who was rather large, weather fat or muscles Nico could not tell, snorted at Nico's reply.
Nico rolled his eyes and turned to go down the hall to o his first period, but runner boy got in his way.
"What? No manners? Not even gonna ask our names?"
Nico signed in annoyance and said, "Fine, whatever, what is your name?" in an annoyed, exasperated tone.
"Pietro Maximoff that you very much."
Nico gave an annoyed small wave and then expertly slipped past the speedster and down the hall, the bell ringing, signaling all students to get to class.
"Well, he's a bundle of joy," Lance said sarcastically.
"I've got current events with 'im," Toad said.
"Who takes sculpture?" Blob joked.
"You have sculpture next semester," Lance said bluntly.
"Oh yea," Blob replied at scratched his head.
"Boys, I think we just found some new fun," Pietro grinned evily.
BIOLOGY CLASSROOM
Evan Daniels entered the class room, most the seats were already filled due to him arriving at school a bit late. Even his usual seat by the window in the back was taken. But it was taken by a kid he had never seen before.
He had the darkest black hair, and wore a black t-shirt with a skull and had some dark circles under his eyes that contrasted with his paler skin tone. He was looking out the window. The only open seat was next to him.
"Take your seats," the teacher said as he entered the room and stood at the front of the class.
"Today we've got a new student joining us, Nico di Angelo," the teacher continued, pointing to the dark haired boy Evan was seated next to. Nico gave a half hearted wave and resumed looking out the window.
And the lesson began. A worksheet was passed out. They were supposed to read through their textbook to find the answers as a review of what they had been learning the past week. None of which Nico knew so he was going to have to just read blindly and copy answers from the book.
Which really sucked for a dyslexic kid like him.
Nico struggled along once he had gotten his text book and assignment. Evan noticed that Nico was having trouble, but Nico seemed to have an arura coming off him that said to stay away so Evan didn't do or say anything much as the period rolled by.
Most people got two thirds or more of the way done, Nico only made it to about half way through before the bell rang. Nico sighed and shoved his stuff into his backpack and left for second period mythology.
His mythology teacher was a short woman who always seemed to have a scowl on her face. But the second she started teaching, it was extremely obvious to Nico that this wasn't a mortal. This was a monster.
He could tell by a lot of things. The way she kept looking at him with a scowl like he was the reason for all the world's problems, the way she talked had a snake like hiss to it and thirdly, she was accurately teaching mythology, like saying what Nico knew for a fact happened without a single, for the most part, inaccuracy. But all the heroes were made out to look more like monsters and the monsters were the good guys and she said monsters like she was proud yet angry at the name monster.
Oh yea, she was defiantly a monster and she had her sights set on the Son of Hades.
Nico was on edge for the whole period, and barley paid attention for any of third period sculpture where they were starting a new unit which Nico was too distanced to hear what it was.
Then it was lunch. Nico opted out of eating food from the cafeteria. And rather than sitting at one of the tables, he sat outside under the shade of a tree, alone and as far away from the other students as possible.
He put his head phones in and started playing his music on his IPod as loud as he could without blowing his ears out completely.
Nico looked around, the only people in sight were the students eating their lunch outside, none of which paid Nico any attention, but he was still extremely tense. His mythology teacher was actually form mythology and he was pretty sure that she knew that he was a demigod. The one and only son of Hades was kinda hard to miss in the world of monsters.
Nico nearly summoned his sword when someone came around the tree and placed a hand on his shoulder, but luckily, all that happened was the dude who startled him ended up pinned to the ground.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Relax kid!" the person said.
It was an older boy, had red sunglasses over his eyes, brown hair, blue long sleeved shirt, looked 17 or 18 maybe, final year of High School most likely.
Nico released him and backed off, allowing him to stand.
"Nice reflexes," Scott said, "I'm Scott Summers."
"Nico," Nico replied, "Sorry about that."
"Nice to meet you. Uh, we were wondering if you wanted to come sit with us," Scott asked, gesturing to an outside table with a few other kids, only one of which Nico recognized from his Biology class.
"Uhh, sure," Nico was taken back by a total stranger asking him to sit with him and his friends.
Scott smiled and lead Nico over to the table. Scott sat down next to a red haired girl, a Nico took a seat on the edge next to a boy with blueish hair.
"Hey guys, this is Nico. Nico this is Jean, Kitty, Kurt, Evan and Rouge," Scott said, pointing to each of his friends in turn.
"Hi, Nico," Kitty said enthusiastically.
"Hi," Nico replied kind of awkwardly.
"Did you just tackle Scott and pin him down in three seconds flat? That vas so cool!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Yea, sorry about that, it's uhh," Nico couldn't think of a good explanation.
It never occurred to Nico that he would ever make friends so quickly after tackling someone, but yet, here he was, sitting with people who didn't treat him like a freak.
'They'd probably run if they knew,' Nico decided.
Of course there was irony in this for certain reasons, but let's not get into that right now.
The bell rang and lunch ended. Nico gave a smirk and a wave to them then left to go to English. But the second he got to class, the memory of his Mythology teacher who may or may not be, probably is, is a monster. And that monster was talking to his English teacher.
NICO POV
And she was still looking at me out of the corner of her eye, her glare was full of hate, but the English teacher barely noticed a thing. So either the Mist disguises dirty looks from monsters or the English teacher just isn't very observant.
Probably the second one.
I sat down in my seat. Which was the only seat left, which was in the front row so I was in more perfect view for the monster to growl and glare at me. Yeay.
English was boring except the Monster Mythology teacher who's name I can't even pronounce, (and I speak Ancient Greek, a language full of hard to pronounce words) kept coming into the room to glare at me like I was a cooking meal or something.
And she came to visit me in 5th and last period woodshop. My woodshop teacher was a large man that kinda reminded me of Hephaestus. But I was ignored for the most part by him, just the same new student, say hi, now get to work kind of thing.
I was trying to catch up with the rest of the class, who were making chairs from wood, so basically I was starting with a few pieces of wood while the rest of the class were almost ready to start carving decorations into their chairs.
Anyway, I was sanding a piece of wood when I notice Miss Mythology Monster ended the work shop. She was still glaring at me, but was talking with the woodshop teacher.
I couldn't hear what they were saying, and I probably didn't want to know. I would deal with the stalking monster after school and get somewhat caught up with the rest of my class.
The bell rang, ended my first day of school. I had a feeling that any second I was going to be-
"Mr. di Angelo, I need a word with you, now," Mythology teacher asked.
"Uh, sure," I decided to act dumb at first. They are always so much easier to beat when they think I've got no idea what's going on.
I allowed her to lead me into the hallway, which were now empty of students.
"Now Nico, did you really think we wouldn't find you?" she asked.
"I was actually kind of expecting it," I replied, getting ready to get my sword out.
"Ready to die, son of Hades?" she asked
She growled then revealed her true form. A dracanae, which is snake woman with twin serpent trunks where her legs should be, green skin and some wicked snake like fangs.
I got ready to fight, rising my sword to eye level as my response to her question.
The battle was won quickly enough. The dracaena was slow compared to most of the stuff I've had to deal with in the past. I stabbed her right through her chest and she exploded into yellow powder.
"Great first day of school," I muttered to myself as I looked around to make sure there wasn't anyone in sight, which there wasn't.
I then began walking back to the orphnanage, not feeling like shadow travel at the moment, while thinking about the homework I now had to do; Biology's textbook assignment, reading a novel by the end of the week for English.
Truth; I would really rather kill another dracanae than do the homework.
NORMAL POV
Little did Nico know, someone had been watching the whole time.
Mystique always kept an eye on new students, especially ones who literally had no background except a few things from some boarding school Nico di Angelo and his sister, Bianca di Angelo, had disappeared from 4 years ago. Well, here was Nico, but where was Bianca?
But the question on the whereabouts of the elder di Angelo wasn't one of the many questions going through the mutant shape shifter's mind. The questions she had were more like;
'What the hell just happened. What did the Mythology teacher who had only been teacher for 2 weeks just turn into? Why was it trying to kill Nico? Where did Nico get a sword from? How did Nico know how to use a sword? Who else was looking for Nico? Why did Nico need to hide? How had Nico been expecting the attack? Son of Hades? Did he just kill the mythology teacher? Why did the snake like mythology teacher explode into yellow powder when stabbed? Who was Nico di Angelo really?'
"Great first day of school," Nico muttered to himself, Mystique, who had been in fly form on the wall, flew after him as he grabbed his bag and walked down the halls and towards the doors.
Magneto would want all the information on this boy. He may be a most powerful ally.
OKAY, DONE WITH CHAPTER 1. WHAT DID YOU GUYS THINK? REVIEW FOR ME AND I'LL GET THE NEXT CHAPTER UP SOON ENOUGH.
