Hell no!

Chapter 2 A new school (Nico)

I woke up early on the first day of his new school. Not because I was eager to go there, but because I had had a nightmare. It was the same he had had the past three weeks. Bianca was dead and she died because of him. Hazel ran into my room to calm him down, which worked. I was still crying, but not screaming any more.

''Come on, Neeks, up you get. It's only a nightmare.'' Hazel said.

''T-thanks, sis. I feel better now.''

We got dressed, Hazel in plain jeans and a purple shirt, me in black jeans and a black shirt with a white ghost on it, and went downstairs. There our parents had made breakfast and we all ate together. Then our father gave us some lunch money and we went upstairs to grab our backpacks. Hazel had a dark purple backpack with random fake gemstones everywhere and I had a black backpack, just plain black.

Then we went to the school bus and sat together. Hazel talked about what she expected form the new school and she tried to be happy, but her undertone was sad. I sat there, listening to Hazel, and looked out of the window. Then Annabeth and Piper came into the bus and sat down in front of us and the three girls talked about what they wanted and what to expect from the new school. They tried to involve me in the conversation, but I wasn't talking much.

At school everyone went to the gym and the four of us stayed together. In the front a man was talking about welcoming the new students and hooping they would feel welcome. He also talked about the tragedy of the shooting and said that all the students had to help making the new students feel at home. I wasn't really listening. Then the man said that the new students could come forwards to receive our locker number and schedule. Then the other students could come forwards to get their new schedule.

I was one of the last to get my schedule and walked behind Hazel. Piper and Annabeth, when I bumped into a tall, good looking, blonde. ''Sorry,'' I mumbled and he then walked a little faster to catch up with my sister and friends. We had lockers next to each other and our schedules were compatible. We had a lot of classes together, starting with Mythology class. Me and Annabeth really liked it, but Hazel and Piper had only signed up for it for us, not because they liked it. After searching for about five minutes, we found the class room and sat down, Annabeth and I in the front and Hazel and Piper behind us. Then two people sat down at the tables next to me and Annabeth, a girl who introduced herself and the guy immediately.

''Hey, are you the new students? Cool, I'm Lou and this idiot here is Cecil.''

''Hey!'' the guy, Cecil, shouted in response.

''I'm Annabeth, this is Nico, and those two are Hazel and Piper.''

The girl nodded and said that she and Cecil would give us a tour of the school if we wanted, and that they would introduce us to their friends. Hazel and Piper thought that was a great idea and Annabeth liked it as well, so I couldn't do anything but agree to come with after double Mythology, when it was lunch, even though he didn't really want to.

Then the teacher, Mr. Chiron, came in and asked the new kids, which were only me, Piper, Annabeth and Hazel, to introduce themselves.

''Hi, my name is Hazel Levesque and I'm only here because my brother and friend made me come here.''

Everyone laughed.

''I'm Piper and I'm here for the same reason Hazel is, 'cause my friends made me.'' Piper didn't like to tell people her last name, she wanted people to like her for her, not because her father is Tristan McLean, the famous actor.

''I'm Annabeth Chase, and I'm one of the two who made them come to this class.''

Everyone laughed again.

''Nico di Angelo, and I'm friends with them.'' I don't like talking in front of a lot of people, so I usually keep it short like now.

''Okay,'' Mr. Chiron said, ''those are our new students. Please be nice to them and make them feel welcome. Now, we are going to start today's lesson about the Egyptian gods. Who can tell me anything about them?''

''The most important god was Ra, the sun god –''

And so the lesson started. At the end of their double period, me and my friends went to the cafeteria with Lou and Cecil. They introduced their friends to us.

''Those two are Travis and Connor Stoll. Look out for those two brothers, they prank everyone. No they aren't twins, but they do everything together.'' Lou started.

''That girl is Katie Gardner, she's really nice to everyone.'' Cecil followed ''The Chinese looking guy is Frank Zhang, looks tough, but is very sweet. He's captain of the archery team.'' Hazel immediately blushed when Frank looked at her. ''And you know I'm Cecil and she's Lou and Lou's my girlfriend!''

''Cecil!'' Lou said, but when Cecil laughed she did as well.

''Right, I'm Annabeth Chase,'' Annabeth started.

''Hazel Levesque, Nico's little sister,'' Hazel said playfully.

''Nico di Angelo, Hazel's big brother,'' Nico said.

''Wait, you two are brother and sister? You two don't look alike, so are you adopted or something?'' Travis asked.

''Half siblings, same dad, different mom.'' Hazel said.

''Aha… that explains it…''

''And I'm Piper.''

''No last name?'' Katie asked.

''I have a last name, just don't like it.''

They looked a little weird at her, but let it slide. The ten of them ate lunch together and the girls were all talking together. The Stolls were talking about some prank with Cecil and Frank and me just listened and talked a bit. I thought Frank was nice and we even had something in common, we both liked Mythomagic, but we didn't play it in public.

Then a three guys walked by and everyone went silent.

''Those are the most popular guys in school,'' Katie explained in a whisper. ''The blonde with the glasses is Jason Grace, the dark haired guy is Percy Jackson and the other blonde is Will Solace. They can get almost any girl in school, and they know it. But they are still all single. You guys want to look out for them!''

We all nodded.

But the three guys walked back towards them as soon as they'd gotten their lunch. They sat down on our table and the entire cafeteria went silent.

''So you four I haven't seen here before. I'd remember such cute girls!'' the guy Katie had called Jason started. He looked at Piper when he said cute girls, and she blushed.

The dark haired guy, Percy, was eyeing Annabeth and she looked a little uncomfortable. ''So what're your names?''

Piper spoke this time. ''Name's Piper.''

''Nice name, Pipes. I'm Jason.'' Jason said with a smile, while Piper blushed.

''I'm Percy. And you?'' Percy asked Annabeth.

''Annabeth,'' she said, blushing.

''Well, I'm Hazel and I'd like to eat, so if you are done here…?''

Will looked her up and down in a way I really don't like. ''No looking at my sister,'' I said, a little anger seeping through.

''Wow there, short guy,'' Will said. ''May we know your name?''

''Why should I tell you my name?''

That surprised him, and everyone else who had been listening to their conversation. Apparently no one ever talked like that to Will, or Jason or Percy.

''So you won't tell us your name?'' the guy asked.

''I'm…'' they looked at me expectantly. ''…annoyed.''

Will laughed and smiled at me. Then he said, just loud enough for our table to hear, ''Well that's not nice.'' Then he winked. Why did he wink at me?

''I try not to get involved with fuckboys,'' I replied.

Piper, Annabeth and Hazel laughed. They know me, and they know what I meant with that. Will's eyes went wide. He crossed his arms and smiled half at me. ''So… I'm a fuckboy.''

''Poster boy for it, actually,'' I said, while not looking at him and biting in my sandwich. Everyone laughed, even Jason and Percy. They thought it was funny?

''Still haven't told me your name. So what should we call you?'' Will asked me.

''I don't bother with fuckboys, so it's not necessary for you to know my name.'' Everyone laughed again, except Will. Then he tried to make conversation with my little sis and that couldn't happen.

''Don't talk to my sister, fuckboy. Don't even try to talk to any of my friends either.'' I said, with a death glare so intense, he backed away. Then the three of them walked away and my new friends and the girls laughed.

''No one has ever talked to them the way you just did, Nico. That was amazing!'' one of the Stoll brother's said.

''You didn't have to do that for me, Nico!'' Hazel said.

''I kinda did, Haze, I'm your big brother and I want to protect you from guys like that. Especially since…'' I said, giving her a knowing look.

''Thanks, Nico, she would be proud of you,'' she said, while hugging me. Our six new friends don't know we're talking about Bianca, but I'll explain when I'm ready for it. ''But you don't have to. I don't want a guy like that.'' Her eyes flicked towards Frank for a second, but no one else noticed, even though I did.

''Thanks, Haze,'' I whispered. She always knows what to say to make me feel better, just like Bianca.

AN2: Checked and corrected as well. Have fun! :)
