A/N I know i said in the last chapter that was the end, but i still have more I wanted to add now. So hopefully your happy bout that and not mad or something so. Enjoy

NICO POV:
"I will push you down those stairs Solace," I snapped at Will.
"What! I just said your cute!" he said, putting his hands up defensively.
"And I said I'll push you down the stairs."
"You two fight like an old married couple," Percy teased, as he ran into a girl and knocked not only all his books out of her hands but out of his as well. "Shit, sorry," he cursed, reaching and helping her pick up her books.
"Your fine," she said, taking her books back snd then then moving to hurry away.
"Wasn't that Octavians girlfriend?" Jason asked.
Percy unlocked his locker and put all his things in it.
"I think so, your lucky he wasn't around man," Will added, watching her walk down the hall. He then unlocked his locker and pulled out his lunch.
"Who's Octavian?" I ask, opening my own locker and putting my school stuff in it.
"This guy that used to mess with us all the time before you came," Will says.
"But he stopped when you came, cause everyone's scared of you. Even him," Percy said cheerfully, like that was the best news ever.
"Why?" I ask, "It's not like i'm 6 feet tall."
"Did you forget everyone knows how you were expelled from your old school for putting a couple guys in the hospital?" Percy responds.
"Not to mention someone saw you kick the shit out of those guys at the park last week," Jason says closing his locker.
My head snapped to him. "What!" I exclaimed, my jaw dropped to the floor.
I caught a glimpse of Will giving Jason the dirtiest look I've ever seen.
"Oh, you didn't know that?" Jason grimaced.
"Clearly not!" I snap back. Turning my attention to Will, "And you just didn't think to tell me this?"
"Well I was hoping your talent of completely ignoring anyone who try's to talk to you would keep you from finding out," Will says cautiously.
"Well since everyone thinks you stabbed someone they won't mess with you-" Percy started but Interrupted him.
"THEY THINK WHAT!" I yell back.
"I also didn't think you'd care so much," Will says grabbing my hand. "You never cared what people thought of you before."
"That was before I knew people thought I stabbed someone! Now I get why people keep looking at me like I killed there dog!"
"Yeah," Will chewed his bottom lip nervously, "I didn't think you'd want to come back to school if I told you."
"Yeah probably not!" I snap back, "I only missed two days and come back to everyone thinking I'm psychopath!"
"At least now there's no chance of anyone messing with you anymore," Percy said shrugging.
"Yeah, fan-fucking-tastic," I say sardonically. Will squeezed my hand as we walked over to our lunch table and sat down with Annabeth, Frank and Leo. I saw everyone staring at me, but I didn't know if it was because of the rumour or because Will was still holding me hand. I let go of his hand quickly out of embarrassment of everyone watching. People at my old school bullied me for being gay and they didn't even know for sure I was, I could only imagine if people KNEW I was for a fact. I didn't want Will to have to deal with it either.
"Finally your back," Annabeth said as we sit down.
"You look more depressed than normal," Leo says with a mouth full of Pizza.
"He just found out people think he stabbed someone last week," Percy said, very helpfully.
"Oh you didn't know that? That's all anyone's talking about," Frank says.
I look around the cafeteria and see what felt like everyone's eyes on me. I slouched down in my chair in a poor attempt to keep people from staring at me. I could feel my entire body shaking with a mixture of anxiety and anger. Will put his hand on my knee but I shoved it off. A look of hurt flashed in his eyes but I didn't want to be touched right now, especially since if someone saw they might start giving Will shit. I couldn't chance putting Will in any danger.
"Lovely," I mumble, staring at the table. I didn't dare look around anymore, everyone time my eyes locked with someone who was already staring at me.
"I just realized you didn't grab your lunch," Will said to me.
"Yeah I know."
"Do you want me to go get it for you?"
"No."
"Can you please eat something?" Will looked concerned.
"No," I snap back, "I'm fine."
Someone slapped my arm to get my attention. "Fuck Octavian walking over here," Percy said.
I turned and saw the guy he was talking about. I didn't know his name was Octavian, but he was the guy from the first day of school. He's stayed away since then for the most part, only bumping into me in the halls and petty shit like that. But now he was striding over with his little crew, all looking right at me.
"What do you want Octavian?" Jason sneered, glaring daggers at him.
"Not very friendly Grace," Octavian glowered down at him, "I was just wanting to say hi to my deer friend Nico here."
This peaked my attention, I pushed my chair back and stood up to face him. "Were not friends," I growl.
"Aweee that hurt my heart," Octavian mocked, holding his hand over his heart. "I just wanted to let you know, I don't believe all the rumors about you."
"Great, is that is?" I snarl back.
"Cut with the act Di Angelo," Octavian snapped, rolling his eyes. "We both know your not as tough as you act."
Jason stood up and moved besides me. "Just leave him alone," he said through gritted teeth.
"See, you even need a body guard," Octavian and his friends all laughed. I noticed a lot of people watching in awe.
"I don't need a body guard," I interject, I could feel my hands were balled into tight fists.
"Oh really?" Octavian said stepping closer to me. "You just need a little emotion support am I right? Why else would you have been holding hands with Solace."
Will stood up, but made sure he was standing behind me still. "Shut up Octavian, we both know Nico can handle himself."
"Awe look," Octavian drawled, looking behind him at his three friends, "Di Angelos got himself a little bitch."
Anger flared inside of me, before I could stop my self I pushed Octavian back so hard he fell on his ass. His friends all stared at me with mixtures of fear and excitement. "Don't talk about Will that way," I spit, glaring down at Octavian.
He jumped up, breathing heavily. "Your gonna regret that!" He snapped, stepping right in front of me. He was at least 7 inches taller than me, and I could feel his breath on my face.
"Oh am I?" I mock, "Wow I'm so scared."
He pushed me hard but I merely stumbled back and bumped into Will and Jason.
"Just leave us alone!" Frank said, still sitting at the table.
Octavians eyes moved to the teachers table, "Your lucky there's teacher around," He snarled.
"Oh yeah, I bet," I say sardonically. "How bout you and your little girlfriends go scurry off now," I demand, motioning to his friends behind him. They all looked offended by the fact I called them girlfriends, which is exactly what I wanted.
"I don't listen to little bitches," Octavian snarled.
"Just leave me and my friends alone," I say firmly, running my tongue over my top teeth.
"Not likely," he drawled, his gazed falling over all of my friends. Then he turned and they all walked away.
