Drowning in the Stars of Your Eyes

Chapter 4

I must've dosed off after a while because I woke up to Jason shaking me.

"Nico get up, you need to shower..." By the sounds of it he was still half asleep. I groan and roll out of bed and grab and black t-shirt, ripped, black skinny jeans and my aviator jacket. After showing and trying to fix my mess of hair, Jason, Leo and I walk down to the cafeteria, looking like zombies from the walking dead.

"You three look terrible." Percy commented.

"Thanks Percy, just what we wanted to hear." Leo snapped sarcastically. I take a seat next to Hazel and put my head in my crossed arms on the table.

"Jeez, what's up with you three?" Hazel asks. I shoot Jason and Leo glares, signalling them not to say anything.

"One of Leo's robot alarms went off and we couldn't find it so we spent hours looking for if." I lied. Jason and Leo hummed in agreement and ate their breakfast. I slouched back in my chair and put my hands in my pockets. Why's there paper in here?... Oh the drawing!

"Hazel..." Hazel hummed with a mouth full of food and turned to look at me. I handed her the folded paper and she gave me a confused look. Her eyes lit up once she opened it.

"Holy... This is amazing Nico! You did this for me?" She studied the drawing, wide eyed.

"Yup-"

"Is that what you were drawing yesterday!?" Leo shouted, leaning over the table to have a look.

"Yup..." The rest of the group joined in with our conversation.

"Wait you can draw?" Annabeth asked from her seat next to Percy. I shrugged.

"He can he's really good!" Tyson said from behind me making me jump.

"Jesus Tyson don't do that!" I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Oh, sorry! Well yeah, we have art together he's really good!" Tyson boasted about my skills and added that 'his fish are better though' making me chuckle. Tyson hung with us until the bell went and we went our separate ways to our classes.

Last class of the day, PE. And unluckily for me, captain elf boy supreme was in my class. Our PE teacher, Ares, was a hot headed man and made us do laps, and by us I mean everyone else. My father and Ares doesn't really like each other, you could say. So Ares practically let me do whatever I want because if I told my dad Ares was my PE teacher, man that wouldn't end well. So Ares and I made a deal, he lets me slack off, I don't tell my dad he's my teacher. So I watched from the bleachers as the other students ran laps around the oval.

"Sup Casper." Damn... I really don't want to talk to him after what happened last night.

"Hey..." I looked at my hands.

"How come your up here? Why is Ares letting you slack off and not me? Psh rude!" Leo complained and took a seat next to me.

"Ares is scared of my dad... Leo?"

"Yeah?"

"You stink." Leo laughed and slung an arm around me making me tense up.

"Off."

"Oh you're one of those personal space people? Sorry" he chuckled and removed his arm... Leo's not that bad-

"Well I did peg you to be a 'don't touch me ew!' Kinda person." .... Never mind.... I glared at him and he laughed

"I'm joking! Kind of..."

"LEO GET YOUR ASS OF THE BLEACHERS!" Ares blowed from the centre of the field.
