This has been edited and changed from its miserable state to a more passable chapter, I am doing it with the whole story but the fist 10 chapters need it the most.

If I owned Percy Jackson I wouldn't have a ten year old computer

Heads turned when they saw the new kid walk in, in fact there had been a lot of new kids this year and they all seemed to know each other and they all went to the same camp. Some jocks noticed that the boy resembled someone they had seen before, kinda like one of the kids in one of the pictures in Jackson's locker. The difference was that most of the kids looked normal when this kid looked like an emo. He wore a black t-shirt and baggy jeans, on his hand rested a skull ring that if anyone asked him about he would say his father gave to him. The one thing he did have in common with the other kids was the look in his eyes like he had seen things no kid should see. However it was more pronounced in his eyes making kids wonder what had put that sad closed off look in his eye.

Though most kids couldn't tell, Nico was excited for the ancient greek class, then again his being excited now was much different then excited for him a few years ago. He had greek after lunch and was most excited about it because it would be an easy class to pass, ancient greek was his life so he knew it all. He knew his close friend and cousin Percy was going to Goode High School as well and had all of his classes including swimming. Nico made a mental note not to get on his bad side before swimming otherwise he would be in trouble. It would be all to easy for Percy to drown him during swimming, even if Nico wasn't such a bad swimmer as he was.

Nico wove his way through the crowds of people on the way to his locker when he heard someone groan, "If I had Aegis people would just back off! I wish I could take it out."

He snapped his head around and saw black spiky hair in the crowd. Thalia daughter of Zeus was the only person who wear that hair style with a silver circlet on top and he could see it, shinning in the sunlight.

"Thalia" he shouted and then watched her head whip around searching for the voice. "Hey cuz," she called across the deafening noise of the hall, "Long time no see I had no idea you were going here for school."

He might have called back but at that moment one of the girls in the hall, a quite pretty one, turned to him and cooed in a sickly sweet voice, "Son of the dead I see, Nico di Angelo come over and give me a kiss."
