AN: Here ya go guys. Sorry for the shortness of the previous chapter. I just got back around to working on this after working on a PJO story for a while. Blame Mark of Athena for killing my feels and making me need to write on Trials and Tribulations.

By the way, are any of the rest of you fellow demigods? If so, I'd love to know who your godly parent is!

To those who reviewed:

Spamano4ever: Glad you liked it! And thanks! I actually am a Daughter of Hermes. The Kretari part is just my Therian name.

ThatRandomReview: For now. You know that never lasts long! And it's fine.

Enjoy.

School was shaping up to be a disaster for the group. Lovino had already gotten into a couple of verbal sparing matches with some of the jocks over something they said around him about Raivis and Toris, who were like brothers to him.

Antonio didn't get it. Why didn't people get the hint and leave the entire group alone.

Right now, they were sitting at lunch, waiting for Lovino to get back from the principal's office.

It was about halfway through the lunch period before Lovino showed up, normal scowl in place. "Suspended for a week."he said. "I get to finish the day. The guys who were harrassing Tor and Raiv got off free. Said I had no proof."he said when he sat down to questioning looks.

"I wish you'd let us handle it ourselves, Lovi."Toris said softly. "It's not your problem."

Lovino shrugged.

This was so not his best day. Lovino was still in a pissy mood from lunch, and then some douche in his english class went and made it worse. He didn't respond to it, and the teacher called the kid out on it, but still. Lovino just...he was sick of these people.

But he wouldn't leave. He had to take care of Feliciano. Of course he wouldn't leave.

Even so, Lovino couldn't help but think, the mafia is better than some of these kids.

Lovino still wasn't smiling and cutting up when he joined the others outside after school.

Antonio frowned at that revealation. He hated that people were so mean to the group. They'd done nothing to deserve it. He was going to fix it.

The following morning, things got off to a rocky start at school. Antonio approached the guys who'd been giving Toris and Raivis trouble and told them to back the hell off. They weren't keen on doing it, and the situation that Antonio found himself in was easy to twist.

By the end of first period, they weren't in school anymore, and Lovino was able to come back the following day. He felt completely proud of himself for managing to pull it off and not blank and the douches.

Raivis had called Lovino and told him what had happened, leading to Antonio getting attacked with both hugs and hits when they got back to the Vargas household.

Still, it was better than nothing.

Hey, any demigods who read this, please send me a message, I have a couple of things I want to run by you guys that I've been roped into this month.

Thank you. Hope you enjoyed.
