Here's chapter 2! ^_^

Disclaimer: I do not own PJATO. Hmm... PJATO, potato, tomato :D

Percy dropped me off in front of my school. Paul already retired from teaching and was working as a librarian in a library near their apartment. Why? Oh yeah. I haven't told you. Sally's pregnant (2 months) so Paul wanted to be nearer to their apartment. He might as well be Percy's father because he and Percy share the same fatal flaw and the same lame jokes...

"Well, here we are. Have fun and try not to injure mortals." Percy said as I got down from his car.

"You sound like your mom." I smirked. Actually, Sally did say that and they used the same tone. "Don't worry. I'm not a Seaweed Brain like you."

"Don't you know zombies don't have a mind of its own, Zombie Boy?" he snickered. "Okay, I still have to fetch Annabeth before going to our university. Bye."

While walking into my school which was a big brownstone building, I was wondering how he got into a prestige university. Well, Annabeth was his tutor... I guess that's enough to cover the mystery.

I found my classroom and was now standing in front of its door. Right, this is the room number. This is the right classroom. What am I getting worked up for? It's not like I'm going to war or anything. I reluctantly grabbed the handle and entered my classroom.

I jumped from what I saw inside. The classroom itself was okay. The students look normal and friendly but the teacher looked like she was older than the Fates. Her milk chocolate hair was really short; my hair is longer than hers! I swear I couldn't see any eyes under all those wrinkles. I was so startled that my jump made me fall on my butt. The class laughed out loud. Nice first impression, Nico.

"Class, this is your new classmate, Nico di Angelo." The old lady sweetly said. She was the sweet grandmother type who'd give you cookies. I felt guilty for judging her that fast. "I am Mrs. Smith, your English teacher. Nico, introduce yourself to the class."

I got up, closed the door behind me and walked into the death tra - I mean classroom. "Yeah, I'm Nico di Angelo. I am neither a goth nor an emo."

The class laughed again. A girl with straight black hair, white pale skin and black eyes winked at me. I'm sure I saw her winked at me.

A buffed up guy with an auburn hair remarked, "Of course not, you're a new breed, a gothemo." The class roared. I could sense jealousy in the guy. Oops, maybe he has a crush on her! ... I don't give a damn.

"Okay, enough class. Nico, you could sit beside Angelica."

I sat beside the girl who had winked at me… Scratch that, who winked at me again. I winked at her back just to bug the buffed guy.

"There was supposed to be two transferees today but the other student seems to be coming late." Mrs. Smith said. "I'm sure she'll be coming in after lunch."

English was boring as ever will it be to dyslexic people. We had science next. Mr. Blaine was a nice guy who made the subject fun. I had no lab partner. He said that the other transferee would be my new partner so I just sat in one corner of the room looking more of an emo kid than usual.

After that, we got P.E. We were told to run 20 laps by our military teacher, Mr. Boondocks. We were only supposed to run 10 laps but we got an extra 10 after I called him Mr. Buttocks. Come on, he was spitting on my face while degrading me. At least he believed that I accidentally called him that since I was the new kid. I got a lot of hate from my classmates but some of them actually gave me a thumbs-up.

While we were running, Angelica came at my side and said, "Aren't we fit to be together? We almost have the same name and if you combine them, Angelica di Angelo. They're perfect! Nico and Angelica goes well with each other too!"

"Um…" was all I could say because the buffed boy knocked me away from her and onto his other side, although… I was lost for words to say.

"Get away from her, you weirdo. Don't let me catch you talking to my girl again."

"Who are you?"

"The name's Anthony. I could beat the living hell out of you anytime so don't bother us unless you want death."

He uses big words but that didn't affect me. I faced monsters. What fight could a mortal give me? Fighting a newborn hellhound pup must be more exciting than that. But I don't want to cause any commotion so I just slowed down my pace to let them have a time of their own. I saw them fight and caught some words: cheat and stupid.

After P.E., we had lunch, my favorite period. They served good lunch. Not the Mrs.-Blofis-good-cooking but they-have-taste kind. I was eating on my own and wondering what surprise Percy was talking about last night when Angelica dropped beside me.

"Why do you keep coming near me if you're Anthony's girl?" I asked before she could say anything.

"I'm not his girlfriend! Not anymore anyway. I was looking for a new boyfriend but he always makes it hard for me because he threatens the boys. Are you interested?" Angelica asked while batting her eyes on me. I thought she was okay at first but when I found out that she was like those crazed Aphrodite girls in P.E., I want to back out. They already have something for me. They like my dark and dangerous side so they squeal here and there and try to get my attention. It's creepy; that coming from a son of Hades.

"Not that I'm afraid of Anthony and I don't like you… it's just because you're not my type. Sorry." I said to her.

"Oh, great… I finally found a guy who isn't afraid of Anthony but I'm not his 'type'." She said looking crestfallen and gloomy.

"It's okay. You'll find the greatest guy ever but that won't be me." I said. "… So I guess it would be the second greatest guy."

"Don't get yourself air-headed, di Angelo." She laughed.

Suddenly, a food tray hit me on the face and knocked me out of my seat. Ouch… that hurts a lot. I got up angrily, while wiping my face and saw Anthony talking to Angelica in a heated discussion. Okay, nobody can damage my face and gets away with it.

Like it? or not? review please! one word is enough to show! And is Nico a little OOC?
