Nico POV

After grabbing my schedule, i head to my locker. what do you know? my locker was extremely beat up. It looked like Mrs. O'Leary chomped on it, then a Hydra spit acid on it, and it got rained on Zeus' lightning bolts. i could barely see the number on top 241.

"Wow Nico, nice locker." Clarisse said as she slammed her locker shut after putting away her backpack and spear, Maimer (a.k.a, Lamer).

"Clarisse! you weren't suppose to bring your spear!" i said in a hushed tone so that mortals wouldn't overhear.

"Do you think i care?" Clarisse grunted, walking off to pick a fight. Clarisse has been really grumpy ever since Chris, her boyfriend had to leave to live with is family. 

i hated lockers. not just because everyone else's gleamed like they were just newly polished and mine looked like roadkill, but because i hated remembering combonations. at my old school, Bianca always helped me with my locker problems. thats when i was younger. now i will look stupid not knowing how to open a locker.

"Hmm,..ooph!" i said as some bulky jock slammed me into my own locker.

"Ha, nerd." i heard him say as he walked away with his meathead friends. i could easily take them on. after training in the Underworld, i have to say i am pretty good at fighting. of course not Percy-good, but pretty good. of course, Chiron has told everyone 100,000 times that we shouldn't take our anger on a mortal, but sometimes i feel like that mortals deserve a good beat-up.

After 20 seconds of shoving, i manage to fit my black backpack inside the broken locker. scanning my schedule, i head to my first period class: English. once i make my way to the classroom, i plop in a seat in the far back. i notice a dark aura has seemed to form on me in the shadows of the room. everyone was chatting and laughing except me. i was never the "social butterfly". everyone always stayed away from me. that was till some random girl walked toward me. She had dark brown hair, with blue-gray eyes, and was maybe shorter than me. i could tell right away that she wasn't a social butterfly either. she had a quite quirky sense of style. she had  multi-pattern leggings on, over a bedazzled denim skirt, with a suede belt, a white and purple button-up shirt, and converses that were up to her calves. somehow, she didn't look that weird in it.

"Hi, you must be the transfer student! i am the class vice president and thought i should give you a goode welcome!" she said. (A/N Har har har... "goode")

"Well thanks." i secretly wondered if people actually wanted her to be vice president; or no one else ran for vice president. before she could speak, the teacher entered the room.

"Hello class! my name is Mr. Blofis! we have 3 new students today. please welcome Nico, Travis, and Clarisse!" i awkwardly waved my hand while everyone stared at us. Clarisse stared back while travis overdid his wave, adding his other hand as well. i am pretty sure everyone thought Travis was stupid now. some girls were sighing and staring at Travis too.

"Everyone listen up! please grab your new book, the Odyssey. Please read to chapter 4! whatever you don't finish is homework. also write a response on the book." Paul started handing out the books.

"Thought you would like to use these copies." paul said, slipping 3 copies of the books to Clarisse, Travis, and me. i took it and said "Thanks". quickly i flipped through it. YES! it was in ancient greek! this was so much easier to read in ancient greek than in english. after i trudged to my seat, i started reading the book. in no time, i finished reading chapter 4. with 20 minutes to spare, i decided to start that response. hey, i hated doing homework! doing it in school was the same as doing classwork. not   like i actually did my homework.

after class, i rushed out of there. i hated classrooms. as i made my way to my next class, i could see girls crowding over Percy and Jason. i never thought i could see so many girls gawking at one time. i swear Piper and Annabeth were going to be pissed.

"Oh hey Nico! whats your next class?" asked Percy, though i could barely hear him over the chatter.

"Um... ugh math."

"cool, me too. well i gotta go find Annabeth, see ya later!" Percy said as he zipped out of sight.

"Who is this Annabeth?" i heard one girl say.

"She better not be after my man!" i looked over my shoulder and standing there was one of the most gorgeous girls ever. She had long, golden blonde hair, with beautiful emerald green eyes, and long dark eye lashes.

"um, sorry to burst your bubble, but Annabeth is Percy's girlfriend." i told the crowd.

"WHAT!?!" screeched the pretty girl.

"Whatever Paige, like you had a chance with MY guy." shot some girl in the back. Paige. that was her name. Paige rolled her eyes. she seemed to notice me staring.

"How do you know Percy?" she asked me coldly

"He is um, a close friend." i stutter barely even able to say anything. suddenly, her eyes perked up with interest.

"Oh, really?

"mm hmm" i tell her.

"Well my name is paige,"

"Nico."

"What class do you have now?"

"Math."

"yay! me too. come on, i'll show you where it is." i starts leading me in the hallways. all i can do is follow her. i was pretty much starstruck. finally we reached a classroom where Paige ushers me inside. there i see Percy with Annabeth talking and goo-goo eyeing eachother.

"Ugh! who is that girl?" Paige says with distaste.

"Thats Annabeth..."

"What?! she isn't even remotely pretty!" soon i was angry, no one could insult my friend like that. not even if that person was beautiful.

"Don't Paige..." seems she got my memo, she hushed. i have that effect on people. one cold stare from me and they wish they never met me.

"Oh hey Nico... er Paige?!" Percy said, practically choking at the last part.

"Oh, heyy" i said nonchalantly. Paige gave Percy a big smile at sat in the seat next to Percy.

"Hi Percy! i am guessing that's your girlfriend that Nico told me about?" she said flashing Annabeth a phony smile.

"Um yea, this is Annabeth."

"Hi," Annabeth said to Paige. Paige wrinkled her nose.

"Well whatever. just saying Percy, you could do SO much better. i mean no offense Annibell, but your eyes are scary and you are totally a bottle-blonde." Paige told Percy and Annabeth. uh oh i thought. Annabeth HATES being called a fake blonde and Percy HATES when people insult her. 

"Hello class. my name is Ms. Antonucci. i will be teaching this math class. please hand in your homework." Shrilled a 50-something lady. she reminded me of the Furies that work for my dad. she was old, had wrinkled skin, and had a sinister expression.

"Oh, yes yes yes. there are 2 new students in this class! Annabeth and Nico!" Screeched the old hag. Soon, all the boys started gawking at Annabeth. Not that it was unusual, or anything. I mean Annabeth WAS pretty, i'll admit it. Not like i have or had a crush on her... whatever.

Seems like 1000 years! finally math class ended. oh the horror! math class is WAY worst than being turned into a dandelion. trust me, being turned into a type of weed will scar you for life.

"Um Nico, i gotta tell you something about Paige." Percy told me. i wonder what that could be...........
