After a few more minutes of Mrs. Aggio showing me around she stopped out side of a room labeled Ms. Jones.

"This is your home room, and where I leave you. Your locker is right down the corridor. I will see you in Italian Class!" She smiled at me before leaving. I looked at the clock hung on the wall and saw it was 8:25. 5 more minutes until homeroom. I took a minute to look over my schedule.

First Period-Home Room

Second Period-Maths

Third Period-Art

Fourth Period-Italian

~Lunch & 10 minute extra free time~

Sixth Period-Gym

Luckily for me, the teacher was kind enough to type this in Italian.

I slowly opened the doors to see that only one student was in there. She was Blonde with gray eyes and a book in her hands. A bored look on her face. Her hair was tied up in a messy pony tail. She had a leather necklace on with some beads on it. She looked up for barely 2 seconds before she looked back into her book.

"Oh, Hello, I didn't see you come in, I'm Ms. Jones and you must be Nico!" I didn't understand well but I did catch

' must be Nico. '

"Am N-Nico. " I said, stuttering the words a bit, hoping I said the right thing in English.

"Okay, you may go take a seat next to Annabeth." She smiled, pointing to the blonde girl. I stood puzzled for a moment until I heard the girl sitting down reading the book say:

"I'm Annabeth, Ms. Jones wants you to sit here by me, okay?" She said in Italian.

"Okay." I nodded, making my way over to the empty seat beside her. Right after I sat down the bell rung and in piled a bunch of teenagers trying to take seats that weren't taken. One Boy, green eyes and Dark hair with the same necklace as Annabeth, stood in the middle of the front of the class looking quizzically at Annabeth and me. I felt a little uncomfortable but Annabeth only rolled her eyes.

"It's only for today Seaweed Brain." She said before pointing to the empty seat up front. I don't know what she said but the boy huffed and sat in the seat.

"His name is Percy, he usually sits where you are sitting." She told me.

"Does he want me to move?" I asked, not wanting to make him upset. She laughed.

"He'll live." I nodded and took out my small notepad and started to doodle.

"Good morning class! Today we have a new student!" What ever she said, she said it in a sing song voice.

I continued to doodle.

"Nico, will you stand up please?" She said. I looked up at hearing my name. Not getting what she was asking me to do I stayed sitting.

"Stand up is what she's asking." She said. I blushed a little, realizing I was probably sitting there looking like a fool. I quickly stood.

"Nico, where are you from?" She said.

"Where are you from?" Annabeth whispered.

"R-Roma, Italia." I said quietly.

"When's your Birthday?"

"When's your Birthday?" Annabeth translated. At that moment I was really happy I was sitting next to her.

"G-Gennaio 28." I responded.

"He said January 28th." Annabeth told the teacher. The teacher smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Nico, I hope you enjoy your time at Artemis Prep." She said nodding.

"You can sit down now." Annabeth told me gesturing to my seat.

"Thank you, Annabeth." I told her whilst sitting down.

"No problem." She smiled.

Ms. Jones continued talking about things and soon she just stopped talking and everyone started to talk among themselves. The boy from earlier, Percy I recall, came over and started to talk to Annabeth.

"Annabeth, do you think he-??" Percy asked glancing at me. I couldn't understand so I kept doodling.

"Percy! We only talk about that stuff in private, even if this school is, you know, for us there might still be you know who's here!" She said, I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was annoyed. She looked around then dropped her voice to a whisper.

"I really don't think so any way Percy, He seems like a pretty normal Italian guy." I caught the word 'Italian' and perked up.

Oh my, where are my manners?! I forgot to introduce myself, if Bianca was here she would pester me about it. I stood up and quickly kissed both of his cheeks.( Bianca always found it cute that I used the more 'Femenine' way to greet people.)

"I'm Nico." I told him before sitting down. Percy looked so surprised that he just stood there, eyes wide and mouth agape. But soon a blush lightly danced on his cheeks.

"W-what was that for?" Percy said to Annabeth who was trying to hold in a laugh. I don't know why though.

"T-That's how y-you greet people in Ita-Italy." She was hysteric now.

"What did I do Annabeth? Why are you laughing at me?" I asked her, confused and slightly flustered.

"Here, Nico, we don't greet people that way. Doing that is saved for showing affection to someone you love." She told me. Oh my, Oh my, Oh my, what did I do?

"I am so sorry, Percy, I didn't mean-I didn't know, Oh my!" I was a stuttering mess, also flustered.

"Percy, he's apologizing." Annabeth said trying to suppress a smile.

"Oh, i-it's fine, it's all good dude." Percy said.

"He says it's okay." Annabeth translated it.

I nodded, that's when the bell rang.

"Nico, what class do you have next?" Annabeth asked me.

"Maths" I told her.

"Me and Percy too, lets go together?" She asked.

"Okay." I nodded."Thank you."

Hey, first day of school in a new country and I already have 2 friends. That's a start.
