A/N
Okay so I have now read trials of Apollo and have decided to ignore everything that happens  because it ruins the idea I had for this fic so no top spoilers. I might change some of the characters a bit cus I kinda did them a bit wrong.... But enjoy the new chapter!

Will's Pov

I was so glad when I spotted Nico on the way out of the cafeteria I really wanted to talk to him. Well I kinda just wanted to hear him talk I could happily just listen to his voice for hours on end but sadly we did actually have to go class.

When we arrived at Ancient Greek class it turned out Ms Lindar had already got a seating plan. My heart dropped, a seating plan would mean I wouldn't be aloud to sit next to Nico. Luckily I happened to be pretty good at Ancient Greek so when Nico asked for help I was aloud to move to "aid him with his work". Just as I finished laying out my equipment on the desk next to Nico, he stood up and looked around alarmed.
"Nico are you okay?" I tried not to sound to worried but I know I probably failed. Nico looked at me and the expression on his face was a look of pure confusion.
"Nico?"
"Something's coming." He said. He sounded calm but his eyes were still searching the room.
"What's coming? Nico?" He stared at me vacantly, then his face suddenly changed, the vacant look replaced with one of surprise and fear. He looked around one more time and then sprinted out the room.

Okay so maybe sprinting out of Ancient Greek was a tad over dramatic, but I needed to go warn Chiron (and Ancient Greek is really dull). After sprinting down a few corridors and slip sliding around some corners I realised that 1) I had no idea where Chiron's office was and 2) even if I did know he might not even be in there. I skidded to a halt and felt someone collide with me from behind sending us both crashing to the ground. I rolled onto my back and glared at the person lying on top me.
"Will," I tried to keep my voice steady "what are you doing?"
His tanned skin blushed a profound shade of red.
"I w-was um I was w-worried," he stammered as he pushed himself of me and offered me a hand. I purposefully ignored his offer of help and used the wall to pull my self up. He blush deepened and he awkwardly put his hand into his pocket.
"I-it's just y-you ran off. I-Sorry." He bowed his head and his fringe fell in front of his face. I immediately felt guilty for rejecting his offer to help me up.
"If you help me find Chiron I'll forget about you rudely crashing into me. Deal?" I held out my hand. Will jerked his head up so fast I was worried he might break his neck.
"Yeah, yeah! Of course I'll help!"
I couldn't help but snicker at his enthusiasm as he swung his hand up to mine.
"Chiron's office is on the bottom floor." Will explained gesturing towards the nearest staircase.
"I knew that," I bluffed as I pulled him along behind me following his vague gesture. "I just wasn't sure if he would be teaching."
"Right, of course." I could hear him smiling. I turned round and glared at him. Only then did I look down and realise we were still holding hands. I pretended not to notice and marched down the stairs dragging him along behind me.
We reached the bottom of the stairs and realised I couldn't keep up the charade of actually knowing where we were going. I looked over my shoulder at Will who, noticing that I was actually did need his help, nodded his head to the right. I started jogging along the corridor when I felt the same presence I had in Ancient Greek.
"Shit!" I cried "too late!"
I grabbed Will around the waist and pulled him into the shadows. The joking look on his face was replaced by one of pure surprise as I focused all of my strength on getting us out of the school.
We ended up at the archery range a little way away from the main school building.
"Nico, what the f-" he was interrupted by a section of the school exploding outwards and scattering the courtyard with rubble.
"Nico..." Will looked towards me the surprise on his face melting into worry.
"You look like you're gonna pass out. Are you okay?" He reached his hand out to me.
"I'm not gonna pass out." I argued, then promptly passed out.
