Falling for the child of death (Percy Jackson fanfic)

Nico Di Angelo

The next morning Lillith sat at the back of class like normal. She could see Aurora and her small crew. Aurora was the school princess. She was beautiful, popular and not too bright. She was fashionable and always wore the newest clothes. Her brother was the same, her younger brother. Technically he was her half brother. Aurora's Mum was just like Lillith's, they had both upped and left without any warning. Aurora's Dad had got over it, found a lovely wife and had another child. Where as Lillith's went into a state of depression and threw himself of a bridge. Aurora's brother James was 2 years younger than her, so he was 12 and a few years below her. Lillith had never actually met her brother or even seen him. He was the opposite of his half sister and a complete nerd. He was a computer geek, a gamer and not into fashion at all. From what Lillith had heard he had only a small group of really close friends and that was it. The two were so different that it was hard to believe that they were related at all. Aurora herself didn't seem all that keen on her brother, she never spoke of him and when he was brought up in conversation her would always brush it to the side. Aurora's main victim was Lillith herself. She loved to tease her on her clothes and her freaky behaviour. Always laughing with her friends that she should be matched up with big Sam or Larry. He was the really fat kid that everyone stayed away from...apart from Lillith. She wouldn't say they were friends but she knew that he was a good person and the two did sort of get along when they did talk, which was kind of rare. Larry on the other hand was a skinny cripple. He walked around on crutches all the time as he had a problem with his legs. The two had never talked by he had smiled at her a few time, to which Lillith simply nodded without a smile to return. Lillith liked to be by herself, it was normally around other people that the weird things happen. So she decided to stay away from everyone and then maybe whatever the hell kept happening would eventually stop. Lillith sighed and rested her hand on her desk as the classroom door burst open.

"Alright you brats sit your asses down right now." Said Mr Miller. He was a plump man with a brown beard and jelled back hair. He wore his usual black suit but today as he walked in a boy followed him. Lillith's eyes widened as she swore that it was the boy from yesterday. What was he doing here? Was he going to this school? Everyone in the class rushed to their seats and Mr Miller gestured to the boy by his side.

"This here is Nico Di Angelo, he will be transferring into our school and this class as of today." He said as the whole class started at the boy in front of them. They didn't know why but he sent chills up their spines. He gave of an aura that told people to stay away from him. Aurora put up a very dainty manicured hand. "Yes Aurora." Said Mr Miller.

"Sorry Sir but I don't think he can join this class. You see the position of freak has already been taken up by Lillith Lamwood." The whole class erupted into laughed but Lillith simply turned her head and looked out of the window to her left. She would not let them bother her, she would not let them see that actually she just wished they would stop picking on her and leave her alone. She hadn't done anything to them so why do they pick on her?

"We wouldn't want to give the Witch an ally." Said a boy in the class making them laugh more. Witch...a name Lillith had earned because of the strange things she could do. Everyone believed that she was just tricking them into believing that she had weird supernatural powers but Lillith knew better than that. If they knew the truth they would not be making light of it.

"Now now class there is no need for that but speaking of Lillith, Nico why don't you sit in the empty seat next to her?" He shrugged and walked down the isle. Everyone watched closely as he passed by, they were physically moving to get away from him. He pulled put his chair from the desk and sat down keeping an eye on Lillith, who was still looking out of the window not responding to the kids teasing.

"Right then class let's begin the lesson." Said Mr Miller turning to write something on the board. Aurora turned around to face the girl behind her.

"You know I've been thinking." She said loud enough for the people around her to hear but not Mr Miller. "The new creepy kid would be a perfect match for Lillith right?"

"I guess so I mean you are known for being able to match people up very well." The girl responded.

"Exactly I can't be wrong." She said smiling and turning back around to face the front. Lillith sighed and took out a black notepad and pen from her backpack behind her. She noticed that Nico was sat there with nothing. No notepad, no pen, pencil case, nothing. Lillith took out another spare notepad she had. This was the notepad she used for her doodles but the guy looked like he needing it. She pulled put another pen and placed them on the edge of his desk. He looked at them and then back at her.

"I don't want this." He said coldly.

"Yeah whatever but you got to at least look like your doing something otherwise you'll get in trouble. You came to school and you don't even have a pen."

"You don't exactly look like the type to be fussed about taking notes."

"Oh I'm not. I use them to doodle I can't even read the damn board because of my dyslexia. I don't even wanna be in this hell hole in the first place. I'm only here because of that stupid woman." She said turning to her notebook and began to draw...
