Will's Pov}

We walked for about 12 mins after we got off the bus, we made it Nico's house and damn. His house was huge, from the giant garden out front to the massive gates separating us from it. There was pillars with dogs on them and lanterns dangling from the tip of the door.

The were about 5 patios at the top floor, with only one light on.

Nico turned to me "Well this is my stop, goodbye." He said without a moments thought. So I just yelled after him to make sure he heard me before he entered. "Good night see you tomorrow Sunshine." He was about to close the door but he held out his middle finger at me first. I just laughed it off.

I then made my way home, my house wasn't that far just 2 blocks away, so I was fine.

Nico's Pov}

I watched him go down the street and turn a corner before he was out of my sight, then I tried to tiptoe upstairs to my room so that Hazel doesn't see or hear me. When I entered my room and put on my light I saw her sitting on my bed with her arms and legs crossed.

"Where were you Nico It's like 7:05 in the evening. What if you were kidnapped?" She asked with a glare and worry in her voice.

"At 7:05 in the evening?" I said with a raised eyebrow before putting my bag in my desk and flopping on my bed beside her.

"Yes. Now care to tell me who that boy was?" Darn it she saw, why couldn't she be asleep when I want her to. I sat up and faced her before trying to explain.

"He's just--". I was cut if by a loud gasp.

"Nico, what happened to your nose and wrist." She said scared. "Was it that boy? Oh when I see him again--"

"No, no it wasn't him, he was the one who helped me." I explained, cause I don't want Will to face Hazel's rath.

"Then who did this?"

"Can you take a guess?"

".....Tsk, Octavian huh? That bastard."

I told her everything that happened, well except for the fact that Will freaking Solace spoon feed me of course. I also showed her all my injuries from my shoulder to my knee.

"That Will Solace boy, seems to have helped you quite a lot. Tommorow I'll make brownies, be sure to give them to him for me as a thank you gift." She said excitedly taking my hands into hers.

"Sure, now can I get some rest, I feel weirdly tired." I said with a yawn, she nodded and planted a kiss on my forehead before putting of the light and exiting.

I went over the usual routine before falling straight on my bed, man today was tiring, and that energy ball just made things far more tiring.

I felt very tired but my eyes refused to close, so I just laid there staring at the ceiling like I usually do.

Today felt odd to me, unlike my usual routine today felt as if my loopy day was broken. All the stuff I usually do was as if yesterday was just another day, as if it was a random day.

By now I would be asleep but as I said today my loop was broken so now wasn't any different. I continued to stare at the ceiling until my eyes felt heavy.

Why do I feel like tomorrow is gonna be just as exhausting as today was?.....Probably nothing.

The next day.

{Will's Pov}

I made my way to the bus stop, I got on and saw someone i was sure I got rid of, I turned my head around to find another seat but there was no way around this.

"Will what a surprise, come sit." I heard her awfully sugar coated voice talking to me, I turned to look at...her.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with clear venom in my voice but I still sat down.

"Oh calm down I'm going to school it's my first day there, long time no see Willy-kins." She said as she batted her eyelashes at me, ugh disgusting.

"Don't call me that, and did I ask if it was your first day or not." I said putting my bag beside me to create a wall between us.

"Oh don't be like that, I missed you willy." She said trying to sound genuine but I know better. " Just leave me alone I have better things to do." I said back but she would not drop it.

"Come on, I know you missed me too so don't deny it." She said as she came close and played with my hair. I of course slapped her hand away.

"Listen Maria, I suggest you get a life and leave me the fuck alone." I didn't think she could me push to the extent of swearing but she did.

"Listen I know you're single, might as well right, I am offering you a chance again, you should be grateful." She said as she flipped her hair.

"Just go away." I tried to get up and look for another place to sit but she grabbed my arm and said. "You wouldn't want to say that now would you." She said a smug look as if she won, well guess again.

"Maria you are just on another level of scum you know that?" I tried to get something in her tight skull but nope nothing.

"Oh come on darling, I'll do anything for you." She said leaning towards me but I just pushed her back." Come on Will stop playing hard to get, I know you still love me."

I never even loved her, who does she think she is? All those weeks of persisting and me turning her down did not seem to knock sense into her.

"In my defense, you can turn a straight man gay so don't bother." I said with a glare I just want to go school and see how Nico's doing was that too much to ask. She glared at me and opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off.

"And besides, I'm pretty sure if you were the only girl in the world I'd rather die single. Now if you would move your useless self away from my sight I would be delighted."

"Mark my words Will Solace, I will have you as my boyfriend." She said said with pride and evil in her voice.

This bitch.

"....I.Don't.Care. Now I suggest sitting at least 5 feat away from me." I said smirking.

"But there's a window, how exactly am I supposed to do that." She said angrily, I knew I hit a nerve.

"Throw yourself out the window it'll give me lots of space".

"What did you say to me?" She yelled at me. She really doesn't have an inside voice, I mean come on there are people here have some decency,

I just turned my head toward the other side and lifted my middle finger up in her face, this time she did just stayed quiet.

The whole bus ride was quiet until the driver announced my stop, I was delighted to get off but to my surprise Maria got up with me. I just thought that her school was the one next to mine but we ended up facing the same school.

"Ooo Willy-kins, it seems we are in the same school this is gonna be fun." she said rapping her arm around mine, I pulled away and stormed inside.

Why do you hate me universe, first Audrey, then Maria. Did I kill your mom or what?

{Nico's Pov}

I was in my usual spot, at the back of the classroom, with my ear pods in as my eyes were closed. I suddenly felt the vibration of a chair scrapping across the floor beside, so I opened my eyes to see Will Solace smiling at me like he won the lottery.

"What?" I asked confused at why the heck he was staring at me like that.

"Oh, nothing. How's your....well everything." He asked with his cheek resting on his hand as he looked at me with worry.

I just shrugged and put my ear pods back on, he acted as if he was hurt and pouted. Even though my eyes were closed I could feel his eyes on me. I suddenly remembered the brownies hazel said I should give to him...meh I'll give it to him after class.

The teacher came in soon with a girl. She had on a pink dress with red dots with white sneakers, her black hair was tied up in a ponytail with a hot pink ribbon. Complimenting her look she had pink lip gloss on which glistened in the light.

Her eyes were focused on Will intently as he just glared at her. She introduced her self as Maria Diaz.

She ended up sitting right in front of us, she glanced back at us once in a while and I have to say it was getting annoying.

Then the teacher started, "Okay class today we will be divided into groups to discuss about importance of education. So I'll be splitting you into a groups okay?" Mrs Smith said before taking out her famous clip board.

"Okay so Annabeth Chase and Jason Grace, Samantha Logan and Robert Jones, Maria Diaz and Diana Ross ......... and lastly Nico Di Angelo and Will Solace." She said before placing her clip board down. "You guys can take this extra time to discuss with your partner."She said before sitting down at her desk and marking away.

Since we were already sitting together we didn't need to change seats like everyone else at this point I fell as if I can't escape this portable charger.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Class was over and we had to present our projects by tomorrow so we decided to go over to his house to continue with our project. I told him to follow me to my locker where I kept the brownies.

"Here." I said shoving the plate of wrapped brownies into his hands. He looked up at me confused.

"My sister told me to give them to you as a thank you for bringing me home." I said looking away, waiting for his response. He just chuckled and said "Well, thank your sister for me and I'm sure these are delicious." I was about to talk when I saw the one and only Percy Jackson walking towards us.

"Hey! Will, where were you? I thought we were having lunch together?" He asked with his hand around his neck he then glanced at me, I took this as a sign to go. I heard thier voices get further and further away from me, then I felt safe but not for long I guess.

I spotted Octavian and his gang gathered at the door of the bathrooms, I tried to tiptoe away to go unnoticed but fate had other plans. One of Octavian's minions saw me and told Octavian who looked at me with a grin full of malicious intent...*gulp* Great just great! I can't believe I'm saying this but.....I wish Will was here.

Listen, the only reason is because, Octavian doesn't have the balls to hurt me in front of some e who could be of threat to him, and trust me Will looked more than capable to stop him.
