NICO
Nico had been having a really shitty day so far, so he really wasnt looking forword to lunch.
He was positive Thalia and her friend woud think of him as a freak. Sure Annabeth was nice to him, but she surely didnt like him. She was probably just being nice.
Nico opened his locker, shoving in his math books and swinging it shut again. As much as he hated the idea of meating new people, Nico was anxiouse to get to lunch. The hallway was always way to crowded, and made his anthropophobia ((the fear of people)) go haywire.
He glanced around the hallway nervously as he speed walked to the cafiteria.
He walked in the double doors, glaning aroun untill he spotted her, the tall girl with the spikey black hair and the punk/goth clothes.
As he aproched her, he noticed that the Bring Me The Horizon shirt made her look very slim, pretty even.
When he was about ten feet from the table, she noticed him, a smile played against her lips as she waved him over.
He didnt smile back, but it made him feel slightly better to know that she was truley happy to see him. THere was no mistaking that smile. IT was no doubt real, no one can pool off a completely convincing fake. And even if they could, Nico was very good with details, remember?
But what ever small bit of reasuence vanished as he noticed how many frinds the girl had.
there where at least six of them, yes, six, exactly. Not counting Thalia.
Thalia noticed his nervous look, and gestured for him to take the seat beside her.
Nico awkwardly sat beside the smiling girl, glancing around the group, praying that there wouldnt be introductions. God this was going to be a long lunch period.
"Hey guys!" THalia shoued to be heard over the noise.
She had to yell twice more, but evntually the conversations at the table stopped, all attention focused on her.
"Ok so, some of you may know, me and Jason got a new brother! Hes a foster kid, we took him in, his name is Nico. Can you stand up so they can see you?"
Nico stiffend, not wanting to draw any attention to himself, so instead he looked over at Thalia, shaking his head no.
Thalia rolled her eyes, then said softly so not to be heard by the rest of the group, "Come on Nico, you dont have to say nothin."
He shook his head again, not making eye contact with anyone.
"Well ayway," Thalia started, "Nico's, ah, shy, but hes here beside me. Say hi to him when you got the chance, got it. And oh, if he doesnt reply dont sweat it, hes not one for talking, like, at all. But ah, maybe introduce yourselves will ya?"
Annabeth smiled and waved at me, "Well you already know me. But im Annabeth."
Percy glanced over at NIco from his seat beside Annabeth, "You know me too, ah, im, ah, Percy. But you know that." He sill seemed nervous, and Nico really wanted to smile now.
Next was a pretty girl, he reminded him of Bianca in a way, she had her nose and mouth. "Im Hazel." She had dark skin, and dark chocolate colored curly/frizzy hair that was just past her shoulders, her golden eyes glittered sweetly. Hazel reminded him of Jasmin, in more ways than one. But he just couldnt shake the feeling that she looked a little to much like Bianca.
Then there was another girl, Cheroke maybe, she and longish dark hair, but the length was hard to decipher, because it was chopped at all different lengths. Her eyes where like kalidescopes, and he couldnt decided what color they where. "Im Piper!"
Next to piper was Jason, who just waved at Nico and laughed, "Well hi! Im Jason, nice to meet you Nico." he teased.
and finally was another blond boy, his eyes where a pale blue and he had a scar running down his face.((correct me if that discription is wrong, its been so long...)) He stood, giving Nico a crooked grin, "Im Luke."
nico could have sworn Thalia's face heated up at the soud of his voice, but she quickly looked away, whiping the redness from her cheeks.
The conversations started again, as if nothing happened, leaving Nico to think. He had a lot to think about, but was soon snapped out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder.
Nico jumped perobably a foot in the air, he shot around, grabbing the hand of his shoulder and holding it in a death grip.
"Dont touch m-" he started to say, in a low, frightening voice. But cutt his sentence short and let go of the girl wrist as he realized who it was.
He stared into the big brown eyes of the guidence councilor, who raised her eyebrows and pulled her hand back.
great, just great, the fucking guidence councilor, nice one Nico. Now shes going to go through the whole, "controlling your anger" or "chanelling the hate" God im screwed.
"Now Nico," the blond woman started, "I beleive we have some things to talk about today. Dont we."
Nico glared, but stood, following her to her office, and preparing for another half an hour of pure torture.
After lunch, Nico rushed into the hall, unlocking his locker and pulling out his science things.
Soon more and more people crowded into the hallway, and was very awair of how close they where getting.
with all the people arund him, he thought his heart might just abot beat out of his chest.
He tried to quietly take slow deap breaths, because he knew from exerience if he didnt calm himself down he would have a panick attack.
Nico tried squeezing his eyes shut, but memories from the past flooded his mind, and he quickly opened his eyes.
Someone brushed his side while walking past, and he pretty much jumped out of him skin, his heart beat skyrocketing.
He backed away from the person, but backed right into some one else, his heart rate was flying, and he completely forgot about calming his breathing.
Nico heard a bang, like books crashing to the ground, and he flinched, once again remembering the slap of a hand against his skin.
He was starting to hypervenalate,and he couldnt calm himself down. His hearing was getting wonky, like everything was getting farther away, and as he heared another crash, there was a scream that might of been his own.
People, all around him, they where starting to look, stare, whisper, point laugh. Why did they look so high up? Why did everything look so high up?
What was so cold against him? what was so hard? Was he on the floor? He didnt remember falling.
There was a ringing in his ears, and distant screams from his past, some others, some his own. his heart was going, and he was dimly awair he might have a heart attack.
Soon the distant screams wherent so distant, and they where all directed to him.
He could hear them clearly now.
Your such a failure!
Freak!
Mute!
Just go die already!
Get your ass over here you damn cowered!
Ass!
You dont desereve life!
Deval Spawn!
They where all ringing in his head, spiraling around, like the people, spinning, turing, whirling, spiralling. Everyhting was spinning.
He currled in a ball, covering his ears to block out the screaming, but it was still there, completely un affected.
His heart was going faster and faster, the shouts where getting louder, and then. There was nothing.
((Alright, shorter chapter, sorry about that. But how was it?
See ya next week! ;) ))
