Chapter 1: Remembering

Nico's POV:

I was looking out at the sea were I saw my friends and sisters playing in the water just splashing around with each other. While I was still thinking I felt a hand on my shoulder when I looked up I smiled at the person, it was Percy. He smiled at me then kissed me which I gladly kissed back, when we broke apart he sat beside me on the porch swing and I just cuddled into him and he put his arm around me and rubbed my side "So do you like it here?" he asked and I nodded "It's great Percy and I'm pretty sure everyone else loves it here" I said looking at our friends who were still playing. A few minutes later Jason and Leo started walking towards the porch "I'm serious Percy why didn't you ever take us here earlier" Jason asked "It's because I never had a reason to come here until now" Percy said looking at me which just got me to blush and kiss him on the check "Well if you put it that way I guess I'll have to agree with you their Perce" Jason said kissing Leo on the head. After that everyone came back and cleaned up before we started eating then to bed and of course I shared one with Percy.

Whenever it was just us I would only dress in a bigger shirt that could never really fight me and Percy only wore pants (I had a feeling a lot of our friends do the same) as I was getting into bed were Percy was already waiting for me. When I laid down Percy turned off the light and put he's arms around my waist and kissed me on the lips and I gladly kissed back and it kind of turned into a whole make out seen. When we separated Percy kissed me on the forehead one last time before saying good night and feel asleep me close behind him but before I did I thought about how my life changed and he and I feel asleep.

8 Years ago

I woke up to the feeling of my sister shaking me "Nico get up it's time to go to school" Bianca my big sis said. Bianca was older than me by two years she had black hair like me, freckles, eyes like me but she had a different attitude then me "Why do I have to go to school what has it ever done for me" I said trying to go back to sleep "I know Nico but if we want to get out of here someday we have to get a good education" she said before walking away. Have I ever told you I hate it when she's right because if I haven't well, I hate it when she's right.

So I got out of bed took a shower, brushed me teeth and hair, got dressed and went upstairs, yes I said it upstairs you see my parents Hades and Persephone were very nice to the three of us but then the worst thing happened they were driving back from shopping because it was getting close to Hazel's birthday so they went to get supplies for a party they were planning but, some stupid driver got drunk and rammed into the car and mom died immediately and dad got seriously hurt but he did die two days after and we were left alone, but then a lady that we thought was nice but she was like the evil step-mother from Cinderella (not kidding) but she had three children: Drew, Karin, and Silena buy Silena was the nicest out of the three she's always took care of us when she could but her sisters were totally mean to us Drew was mean to Bianca and Karin was mean to me. I mean they were mean to Hazel to but they were evil mean to us but we never knew why. As the years went by they were still mean to us but we managed to get into high school and that's where I meet my crush of course I could never talk to him, yah I said him I'm gay deal with it, anyway I have a crush on the captain of the Swim team: Percy Jackson and he's everything someone would dream of. Black hair, sea green eyes, tan, well belt…Um anyway it doesn't really matter anyway. Why you may ask It's because were from two separate worlds.

Not kidding any of you, The school we go to the students literally separates them self's and the two sides have names: The Popular and the paupers (I know how original) and Percy's on the popular side and I'm a pauper and the most worst part is that Karin also has a crush on Percy and she's on the popular side so I have no chance my sisters also have crushes on popular's Bianca has a Crush on Thalia Grace captain of the archery team and sister of Jason Grace captain of the football team, as for Hazel she has a crush on Frank Zhang he's part of the Archery team and is cousin of Clarisse la rue captain of the wrestling team. Yah we have it bad but what can we say we just want something happy in our life. My thoughts were interrupted by my sister shaking me "Come on Nico were hear" Hazel said I look out and saw we were. We got out and headed to the place of nightmare 'school'.

When we went in we went our separate ways because we had different classes I went to my locker only to be meet up with Karin "Well, well if it isn't emo boy" Karin said smiling with a few of her friends snickering I just rolled my eyes before closing my locker door and started walking away but then two guys from the football team should up out of no were "Now, now emo you should never walk away from a lady" she said getting my attention again 'A lady please your more like a spoiled brat' I said in my head "Well sorry but I am running late to my class so yah" I said as I was trying to get away but the two idiots wouldn't let me "Oh come now emo we still have 15 minutes so no rush" she said getting closer to me. I would have backed up if it weren't for the two idiots holding me now, I just looked at her "well I just wanted to say that me and Percy have really gotten closer" she said knowing that it would hurt me considering she knew I had feelings for Percy. I just looked down but she put her hand under my chin and made me look at her "You know if this keeps up I'm pretty sure he would soon ask me out not that it wasn't obvious of course I mean I'm a popular and he's a popular it makes since, but you a pauper with a popular like him hu don't make me laugh Percy deserves much more than a scrum emo like you" she said laughing as well as her friends and if you're wondering no, no one was there and I was glad because that would mean no one there to see me cry which I was "Hahaha see what I mean it's obvious that Percy would never be interested in someone like you your too weak, pathetic, and more importantly a nobody, a nobody no one with a brain would notes" she said still laughing and I was crying harder because I knew she was right why would anyone notes me, my sister had a chance but…..but I didn't "Alright we need to get to class, boys you know what to do" she said before she left with her friends and I also knew what that meant.

It was beat up the emo kid time.

By the time they were done with me I had burses all over my body, not my face of course because then people would notes. When they left I got up even though it hurt like crazy I still had to go to class so with hurting legs and fractured ribs I made it to my class five seconds before the bell rung. After class I went to my next one, then my third one but before that I bumped into Leo a friend of mine that also has the same problem as me. You see Leo is also a pauper like me and he has a big crush on Jason Grace and as I said captain of the football team but instead of Karin he's bullied by Drew because she wanted Jason for herself "Hey Leo" I said and he nodded "Hey I see you've already got your morning beating hue?" he said looking at me and I nodded "Yeah, what about you?" I asked and he nodded "yeah but it was only a few seconds ago" he said and I nodded and we started walking to third period since we shared the same class "you know something Nico" Leo began and I looked at him "I don't get why they beat us up" he said and before I could say something he kept talking "I mean if we're not big threats then why I mean it's obvious Jason wont notes me and Percy wont notes you…Um sorry" Leo said and I shook my head "Don't be it true but I'm ok" I said and Leo looked at me "Because I know my Sister's will be able to be happy, that's all I could ask for" I said and Leo nodded understanding. You see Leo has two other brothers Charles and Jake. Charles according to Leo has a crush on my actual nice Step- sister Silena and Jake has a crush on Will Solace a member of the Archery club and just to let you all know his dad is the nurse (not kidding you). Anyway when we finally got there I saw that Karin was flirting with Percy and him talking back to her I didn't what to show how much I was actually hurting so I just toke my seat in the back and just waited for class to start. Then the rest of the Day was the same you know fourth, fifth then lunch were I got beaten up again then I went to sixth, seventh then finally my home prison but before I did I went to the pool at school where I saw couch Jackson Percy's dad, other members of the team and then Percy they were doing practice drills. I wish so badly to actually talk to Percy I mean he's a sweet guy Percy and his friend aren't like the others it's just that they really had no reason to talk to us so they never do but if Karin finds out I was talking to him then that would be the worst thing in the world so I took one last look the I left. When I inside the house I saw Bianca caring bags of food for dinner I walked over to her "Hey Bi" I greeted and she looked at me "Hey Nico how was school for you?" she asked and I didn't answer "That bad hue" she said and I nodded before going downstairs to but my stuff away and putting my 'uniform' on it was pretty much a boy version of what Cinderella wear Karin wanted to be funny like that I went back up to be greeted by my evil step- mother Gaia "There you are you useless excuse of a human being" she said that normally to me "I want you to Clean the house before nine thirty and before you ask why is because me and the girls are going over to a dinner and I want this house clean before I get back, got it?" she said with hear threatening tone and I nodded and she left so I started cleaning Hazel was probably ironing the outfits and Bianca was making snacks for us. Just another day in the Earth estate.
