Will's POV.

Will suddenly realized who the kid was. In fact he wasn't a kid at all...

The way the kid smiled at anyone who waved at him, or the nervous twitch he got when he

thought something was attacking him. All of that was from the trauma he had gone through

over six months.

"Dad?" Will whispered. The god smiled, "guess I'm not that great at pretending, am I?" he

said. Percy snorted a laugh and Annabeth looked up from her book and offered Apollo her

hand. "Hey, Apollo, it's nice to see you again" she said. "You too" Apollo replied after

shaking her hand.

A few minutes later Nico Di Angelo got on the bus and sat beside Will and Will let him sit by

the window. (Kids always threw things at Nico when he was in sight of them and one time,

he punched a kid when the kid threw a metal water Bottle at his head) when Nico sat down,

he put on his headphones and ignored everyone. Clearly, he had a bad morning.

Will put a hand on Nico's arm and Nico took off the headphones and looked at him.

"What?" Nico asked. Will just smiled at him until Nico gave in. "How on earth do you do

that?" Nico asked with a smile. "it's a secret between me and any god who has read my

mind" Will replied.
