So after Nico had just basically announce to the entire table that he was gay and he ate half of his burger and fries the conversation turned to different topics.

"Okay so I have to ask, Nico, I don't mean to be rude, I'm just curious." Bonnie said. "But your accents kind of funny, where are you from?"

Nico gave Bonnie a smile as he answered. "Well I came here from New York where I lived since I was 10 with my aunt, cousin and her husband. But originally I am from Venice, Italy."

"That's cool. Do you have any siblings?" Bonnie asked. Nico took a drink of his pop that he had bought before answering.

"Well I had an older sister who passed away when I was 10 just after we moved to New York and I have a younger half-sister who goes to a boarding school in San Francisco."

"What about your parents? You said you lived with your aunt in New York?" Elena asked Softly.

Nico fiddled with the skull ring on his finger, he didn't notice Stefan giving it a strange look.

"Yeah I lived with my aunt and her family, my cousin Percy who I lived with, our fathers are brothers but I really don't know much about either man. My father disappeared when I was 7 Percy's left before that. The reason me and my sister Bianca came to live with her aunt was because our mother was in a freak Once In A Million lightning strike accident." When he looked up everybody was gawking at him.

"So who do you live here with then?" Elena asked."

"One of my dad's other siblings, my aunt Demeter." Nico definitely noticed the Silence from the three girls and the confused look on Stefan's face.

"So Stefan." A slightly awkward pause, at least on Caroline's part. "Nico, since you're both new here you guys don't know about the back to school party at the Falls." Caroline said.

"It's a tradition." Bonnie added with a slight smile as she tilted her water cup back and forth.

"Are you going?" Stefan asked Elena. Nico observed everybody's reaction to that question. Elena looked a bit surprised to be asked, Bonnie looked conniving and sneaky and Caroline had a scathing look on her face towards Elena. And Stefan just looked calm, it made Nico nervous and he unobtrusively scooted his chair slightly away from the other male.

"Of course she is." Bonnie said. Elena who had been staring Godsmacked at Stefan shifted her eyes towards her best friend and smiled slightly. But Nico could see the hidden threat of Payback in her brown eyes.

Nico pulled his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the time. It was getting rather late, slipping his phone back in his pocket he scooted his chair out and said his goodbyes to the group before leaving and heading back to his aunts.

"Can anybody tell me how many casualties there were in the battle that took place right here in our own Mystic Falls?" Mr. Tanner asked the next morning in history class. Nico had already come to the conclusion that Mr Tanner was a huge dick wad and he didn't like him.

" Miss Bennett?" He looked towards Bonnie.

"Umn? A whole lot, yep a whole lot." Several of the class laughed.

"Cute becomes dumb really quick Miss Bennett." Nico glared down at his paper. "Mister Donovan, care to overcome your jock stereotype?" The teacher asked scathingly.

"Nope, I'm cool, things though mr. Tanner." Nico colored in his pencil drawing of a skull trying to ignore the utter contempt he could just feel pouring off their excuse of a history teacher.

"Elena?" Nico shot his head up and look towards the quiet girl.

"I don't know Mister Tanner." Nico glared at the wall as he could see the beginnings of an angry look on the teachers face.

"I was willing to be lenient last year Miss Gilbert for obvious reasons, but the excuses ended with Summer..."

"346."

"Excuse me mr. Di Angelo? Come again?"

Nico could hear the pencil under his fingers cracking as he squeezed it but he calmly stated not letting the anger show in his voice. "There were 346 casualties in that battle, unless you're counting local civilians." He calmly stated as he look directly into the Arrogant teachers eyes. He's not ashamed to admit that when the prick gave a small unbidden shiver he smiled.

"T-that is correct mr. Di Angelo." He cleared his throat. "Except there were no civilian casualties in this battle-" he was cut off.

"Actually there were 27 sir, confederate soldier shot at a church believing it to be housing weapons, they were wrong. It was a night of great loss."

And where did you get your history from mister..?"

Stefan just looked gloomy as he said. "Salvatore and the archives are stored in town hall if you want to brush up on your facts."

Okay Nico was sure now that he could see a vein popping in the douches head.
