The Library (Pernico)

Chapter 2

Percy's POV

"Nico. You gotta let go. Dude." I grin into the younger boys hair.

"No. I don't ever want you to leave." He mutters into my shirt.

"People are starting to stare." I say.

"Let them. I don't care anymore. I only care about you." He breathes.

"Nico. You have class you have to attend." I giggle.

"You are seriously difficult sometimes." He grumbles, then turns and marches down the hall. He has changed so much from the boy who sat at our table the 2nd week of school. I just wish I could tell him that I like it.

"Nico." I sigh and then walk down the hall myself.

"Percy! You gotta get up!" My mom says. My dream is broken. I stay laying down.

"But mom." I groan. She yanks me up, and I yelp.

"Ow!" I pout.

"Sorry sweetie. You wouldn't get up." She tilts her head, then walks out. I love my mom. I grin and pull on my outfit. Orange shirt and blue jeans. The group said we were going to get another Demigod today. I wish I could get back to my little daydream. Of course I had been awake for hours, just thinking about the boy I seem to have fallen for over the summer.

Don't think that, idiot. You've met him once. You've hardly seen him at all!

Annabeth wouldn't tell me the new kids name, so as I walk out of my room and sit at the table. I can only think of who it will be. Maybe that one kid in PE. He definatley looks like he could be a demigod. Apollo. He's the best at archery. He's on the team.

Wasn't his name Frank Zhang or something?

I shake my head.

Not him. Though, maybe he is a demigod.......just not this one.

Maybe it is di Angelo.

I shake off the thought with a shudder.

"Something on your mind sweetie?" Mom asks, setting a small cup of juice in from of me. I shake my head, this time to signify denial.

"Excited for school, I guess." I shrug. She raises an eyebrow. My excuse probably makes me sound even more like I'm ill.

"Okay, are you sure you aren't sick?" She asks, trying to push her hand into my forehead. The gesture is funny in this situation.

"I'm fine." I push her arm away. I finish the cup of juice and set it down. I hop up and run back into my room. I walk over to my desk, looking over my pages of work, mixed with some greecian things i have been studying. My binders sit out as well. I grab my bag and swing it onto my shoulder. My books and such dig into my back. My binders are carried in front. I walk back into the Kitchen.

"Annabeth and the group are going to The Library after school. Another Demigod is enrolled, And we are gonna help him. I don't know his name. Just don't wait up after school." I explain quickly. She nods and I smile.

"Thanks Mom! See you later!" I hug her and kiss her cheek before I walk out the door, then go outside to the elevator. I hit the bottom floor button, and slowly, I arrive. I can walk to my school, so I do. My thoughts float around, and I try to organize them quietly. I see a kid running down the sidewalk, and I smile to myself. Its always funny watching people run down the road to school. Its like, running is there way of beating time. I am lost in my thoughts again.  I walk by some of my friends, waving. They fall into a line next to me. They call out some name a few times, and then start to talk. I didn't quite catch the name they were shouting.
