Nico di Angelo: A Darkness Comes at Dawn

Chapter 7: High School?

Percy POV 💧

Wait what? We came all the way to Olympus, expecting a quest, just to be sent to high school. 

"What? Why?!" I shouted. "Why do we have to be sent to high school?"

"Oh Seaweed Brain," Wise Girl rolled her eyes, "yesterday, you were complaining about taking part in another Great Prophecy. Now here you are, whimpering over high school."

"Oh yeah..." I chucked nervously. We were all assembled in front of the gods, well at least the counselors. 

"I agree with Lord Zeus." Athena stated. "If we are to send them to high school, Nyx will not focus on the camp, which protects the younger campers. Going to high school will boost your rationality and decision-making skills too. Unfortunately, Lady Hecate has been missing for a while. The mist will be lowered, meaning you demigods need to hide your identity as best as possible. Also, there is no better plan. Nyx seems to target you lot. She, unlike Gaea, doesn't care about the two camps. Also, there is no better plan."

"Um..." Jason piped up. "In case nobody noticed, some of us are younger or older than college age." Zeus then snapped his fingers, causing everybody to transform into a 19-year-old version of themselves. 

Everyone complained. Nobody wanted to go to high school. 

"It's settled then." Zeus decided. "I will send you to your mansion in Manhattan. It will still look like a mansion on the outside. First floor is the kitchen and living room. Second floor is the arcade. Third floor is the bedrooms. 13 master-sized bedrooms for 13 people. Fourth Floor is the gym. I regret doing this, but I have no choice. There is no better option. Like Athena said, staying at camp is just too dangerous. Have fun!"

"Percy," Poseidon started, "listen to him, please. It's the best thing for you. All of you." I just nodded. I was too angry to say yes. 

"Argus will come to send you tomorrow 10:00 sharp." We were then zapped out of Olympus and brought back to the Dining Pavilion. I still couldn't believe it. High school? Seriously? I looked around. Everybody seemed as equally as mad as I was. I guess they were successful at not showing it.

Nico POV ☠

Wow. High school. Oh, well. I wasn't assigned to go. Neither was Thalia. I still felt bad for the others. Immediately, I heard a knock on my cabin door. 

"Come in." I sighed. The door opened. The figure stepped in. I recognized him immediately as Connor Stoll.

"You." I growled. I held a grudge against him for a long time. First, during a game of truth or dare, he dared someone to kiss me. Then, he dared Leo to destroy my cabin(which I'm seriously grateful for. The old decoration was horrible. I'm secretly glad my cabin got destroyed. The new one is so much bigger and so much better. Don't tell Connor that though). After that, he pranked me 100000 times. He dyed my hair pink. Now, he came here, expecting me to forgive him. "What do you want?" I spat. 

"ImsorryImreallyreallysorryforwhatIdidtoyoubeforeplzforgiveme." He said. He then tried to run, but I did a tugging motion with my left hand. The shadows twisted and grabbed his left leg. 

"I'm sorry, but sorry doesn't CUT IT!" I yelled. "I'm just joking. Good night, Connor." I saw his scared then relieved face before I close the door. Wow. That was actually pretty fun. 

"Nico!" Oops. I did not just...

"Nico! How dare you wake me up!" Hazel shouted. 

"U-u-um..." I stuttered. "Sorry?" I then snapped my fingers and she went back to sleep. 

How peaceful. Seeing her peaceful form made me think in deep thought about Bianca. I then used my hypnokinesis to send peaceful dreams her way.
