Meet me halfway

1. Him

His name is Nico Di Angelo, is his first name actually Nico or is that a nickname? Who knows. Either way, he is the most well known guy in school. Even more talked about than Percy Jackson, the captain of the swim team. Nico Di Angelo was mainly known for his looks.

His hair is black, it's not long or short, but just the right length for him to put most of it in a man bun during PE class. His eyes were so dark brown that they looked black, unless he was in the sun because then they turned into this gorgeous brown that made your stomach erupt in butterflies. He was pale with a hint of olive in his skin and according to Lou Ellen, he was European. His clothing was always dark, mostly black.

He was known for his death glares that sends chills through peoples body, even though most people thought it was hot, they still became scared of him. Which is why he is famous in our school, because of fear others feel. He had also been in a few fights (most of them from hearing people smack talk his loved ones), which he had won, I guess that counts as a second reason to why people thought he was scary.

The third reason is his clique. Few people hung out with him, all of them looking or being rather deadly.

Hazel Levesque, his step-sister. Her skin was dark but her eyes and hair matched her name, hazel. She looked like the biggest sweetheart in the world and she was sweet, but if she heard you talk trash about someone she cares about, prepare to be wrecked.

Then there is her crush (who likes her back) Frank Zhang. He had warm skin with dark brown eyes and raven hair. His personality was the same as a teddy bears, but he was pure muscle and could easily rip you in half.

We also have Jason Grace, his very best friend who is also captain of the football team. He had slightly tanned skin and blonde hair, a tall guy with a scar on his face, no one knows how he got it.

Piper McLean got a pass for being Jason's girlfriend, but they also seemed to get along pretty well. Her skin is golden, her eyes seem to constantly shift color and her choppy hair is brown.

Last but not least is Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano, a great friend who acts like his big sister. Her skin is medium and her eyes dark, matching her dark brown hair. The whole school knows her full name because of Octavian Augustus who teased her for having the initials RARA, it ended up with him having a split lip and a broken nose.

As per usual, I was watching him from afar, afar being about thirty feet away. I was sitting with my friends at lunch, but like I often do, I was gazing at my crush, Nico Di Angelo himself.

Can you blame me for liking him though? He always wore skinny black jeans that showed his ass off perfectly, his black shirt that hid his toned chest slipping up with a lot of his movements and the aviator jacket. Gods, the aviator jacket. My mind has many times imagined him letting me borrow it when I'm cold.

He is the perfect guy and he doesn't even know I exis... shoot, he is looking my way. I snapped my head back around and hoping my messy hair would cover the fact that I was blushing, probably making it obvious that I had been staring in the process. My best friend Lou Ellen and my friend Cecil were smiling brightly at me.

"Dude, why don't you just ask him out?" Lou asked and I scoffed.

"That is the most absurd idea I've ever heard! he would probably laugh in my face... or even worse, he would simply ask me 'who are you?'. I am  not going to put myself through that." I rambled on and they both sighed, knowing they would come nowhere since we had this conversation every week.

I waited a little longer before turning my head towards him again, seeing him talking and smiling softly at his friends, wishing to be with him.

"So I decided to finally speak to Percy about that party I blacked out on, seeing that it was about time. Turns out we hadn't done a satanic ritual, we had just challenged each other to draw one another and had for some reason chosen to draw it on the floor in ketchup." Jason explained and I smiled.

"So, does that mean you were imagining things all week?" I asked and we all looked at him as we waited for answers.

"I wouldn't call it that. It was more like... seeing things based on inaccurate information."

"Which mean you were imagining things." Reyna concluded and everyone chuckled, except for Jason who was blushing.

"Look at the bright side, now we know you won't get possessed and kill us all." I inclined making everyone laugh, even him. I saw a movement in the corned of my eye and turned, only to find Piper sitting down next to me.

"A certain blonde is watching you again." she whispered into my right ear, pointing almost        unnoticeable to my left. I turned again, just in time to see him turn in his seat.

Him, William Solace, a guy from my PE class who my friends always told me was checking me out. I would lie if I said he wasn't attractive with his tanned skin, toned body and blonde hair, but it could never happen. He was one of the nicest people in school and I was... well, me.

"He wasn't watching me, he was just moving  while talking to his friends." I said and she scoffed.

"Alright, fine, turn slightly to us and pretend to be conversating with us while actually watching him. I swear on taco Tuesday that he will be watching you in a minute." she said and I sighed, still doing what she says. "In a minute, just wait." she said and I sighed, before catching a movement in the corner of my eye, he was actually watching me.

"Fine, you were right, he is watching me." I admitted with a small smile, wondering what the hell is going on in his mind.

HEYO wassup mah dudes? I've seen many highschool Au's where Nico is the mess and Will is popular so I thought I'd mix it up. I am personally enjoying writing this so I hope you'll enjoy reading it.
