And thank you to Pepperoni Zebra for my first review
This is just a re-upload of chapter 2. I have tried to improve grammar, spelling, punctuations, and made the old chapters 2 and 3 all chapter 2.
Nico hadn't sleep all night going to school there, sure his dad was the good of riches but Nico was no pretty boy. Yuck even the thought grossed him out. How in the world could Hades let Nico go to a pretty boy school? Well one thing was for sure, Nico thought as Persephone drove him to school, this would be interesting and not just because she clearly had no idea how to drive; she was going from left to right the whole time.
'Welcome to Briarwood academy a Junior High for boys' read a giant sign. More like welcome to the all male Aphrodite cabin Nico thought.
Nico got his schedule great

This is just great it's been almost 80 years since I was in school and know here I am, again.
Nico walked into Miss. Perry's class, she was a slightly overweight older lady with wrinkles and stretch marks- yes you could see all of them- she was wearing a short flowing skirt with a way to small top. Nico sat in the back of the class on the side with the door. Next to him was a group of boys, the football team no doubt, they where all tall and big but none as big as an Ares kid Chris was the biggest, then there was Josh's brother (as his friends called him) who had his feet on the desk, Nick was talking about this super cool party him and the boys where throwing at his place, James through spit wads at some poor kids head well laughing. Well this would be fun.
"Good morning students and staff we would like to start off the day by welcoming all students back to school, please remember no ruff housing in the hall ways, and that football try outs will start this week at 3:30pm on the field, and signup sheets for class president and offices will be up during break, and don't forget wrestling try outs start at 4:25pm today, Anime club will be at 5:00 this Wednesday" the principles overly cheerful voice said
Finally, the bell rang everyone ran out the door like there was a fire.
"Man they act like it's a life or death situation" a tall guy with brown eyes and black hair said
"Yah, it's kind of stupid" Nico said and he had heard plenty of life and death situations. He is, after all, a son of Hades.
"So what's your name the" guy asked
"Nico Di Angelo and you"
"Brody Page"
The boys keep walking silently to their first class.
When the boys got to room 40, Mrs. Hill class, Brody walked to the back of the class room where his friends where sitting and Nico followed.
"Hey guys" Brody said "This is my new friend Nico. Found him this morning in homeroom"
"Hi" they all said
"Nico this is Nathan Davis, and Mason Thomas" Brody said
Nathan was short for being in Junior High he had blue eyes and perfect white teeth… could almost be a son of Apollo, Mason had black hair and hazel eyes he was average height. They seemed like an alright group.
"All right class welcome back" Mrs. Hill said " You won't believe what, so today I was going to be nice and not give you work till next week then I realized its art class, so better get started."
The guys complained as the teacher handed out the work sheet and paint. Painting a color wheel must be harder than it sounds with all the complaints they were making.
Once the teacher gave direction Nico began painting the color wheel blue, yellow, and red then mix them. By the end of class he understood why everyone was complaining he was covered in paint. He wondered if he could make a quick getaway back to the underworld to get clean. Nope no time Mrs. Smith's pre-algebra class was all the way across campus.
Nico walked down the hall alone all the way to class room number 2
"So since it's the first day of school you can all socialize or something" he heard a girl's voice say as he walked in
Nico felt like a loner, nothing new.
"Hey, Mrs. Smith, can I go to the restroom?" Nico asked
"Young man we raise our hand when we want to ask questions in this class." said the lady behind the desk
The class began to laugh as a few guys whispered "busted."
Nico raised his hand
"Yes." she said
"Can I use the restroom?"
"I don't know can you?"
"May I"
"Yes you may, don't forget the hall pass." she laughed
Nico took off to the restroom he made sure it was empty before entering into the shadows.
Nico reappeared behind a tree in the Forest of Camp Half Blood. It was quite but that was probably because everyone was in class. He walked in the direction of the arena as he spotted the Ares cabin he in hailed deeply and walked in their direction…straight to Clarisse La Rue. Luckily the Ares cabin didn't bother trying to kill him.
"Hey Clarisse." he said
"What do you want, punk?" she said eyeing him even though she knew what he wanted
"Nice to see you too, Clarisse." Nico said
"Cut the small talk Di Angelo we're busy."
"All right first your brother Adam said to thank Clarisse for killing the stupid kraken that ate him and Silena says to get a picture of you and Chris together."
All the boys began laughing, Clarisse blushed.
"Tell Adam he's welcome and that we miss him." then Clarisse whispered "And tell Silena were already dating."
"I will" he said leaving the Ares cabin to practice
Who next? Nico spent the rest of the day shadow traveling from class to camp giving messages from the dead.
Each teacher Miss. Miller, Mr. Lee, Mr. Garcia where all the same
"Welcome to class students [today I don't feel like teaching so] you can talk to each other."
Not that it was a bad trade. So Nico would ask 'can I use the restroom' and then would return to camp to give more messages, all in all, it was tiring.
~Messages…
"Hey Pollux, Castor said to tell you hi and he's proud of how well you did in the war."
"Really" Pollux said "Tell him dad and me miss him and hopefully we'll see each other someday."
"Annabeth, Luke says he's sorry and thanks for helping him see where he was wrong and make the right chose, he also can't wait to see you in Elysium"
"Tell Luke that's what family does for one another we protect each other in the good and bad times" Annabeth replied
"Morning Apollo cabin Michael Yew says he's happy about who the new cabin consoler is and he knows you'll do a great job"
The Apollo cabin beamed (no pun intended) "Thanks" They said
"Chris, Marry says she's fine and wants to know how you did during the war"
Chris smiled "Thanks, Tell her I'm happy she's safe know"
"Stupid Marry!" Clarisse mumbled so low no one heard her
Finally, the school day was almost over it was final period PE. He walked into the gym.
"Well class today you will be buying your P.E. clothing and locks for those of you who were too lazy to do so over the summer." Said Mr. Spears
Nico felt weird because he was the only person in his period who hadn't already taken care of all this. He bought everything he needed. After he got everything he assumed Mr. Spear would just let the students go but nope he made everyone shot hops. He could imagine the Apollo cabin liking this.
Nico realized he didn't have a team, so he just kind of acted like he was with this one group of boys. He followed them pretending to be in the group hoping the teacher wouldn't notice. It was awkward pretending to be a part of a group. Lucky for him none of the guys noticed him and if they did they didn't comment.
Finally the bells rang and Nico took the bus to central park. Nico walked to the building then detoured to the park where he shadow traveled home behind a tree.
