Hello. My name is Amelia Waterson, or Mrs. Waterson to you younger folk. I am a medical teacher at New York College (This ain't a real place, I think) and this is how I found out my best student has more of an intricate life than he let on.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It happened during the double block I have with my med students after lunch. Everyone walked in and I got the usual cheery hello and shining smile from my best student, Willam Solace-di Angelo. Willam, or Will, is a sweetheart and one of the most hardworking people I have ever met. He always gets good marks and is studying to become a doctor, which is something I'm sure will happen. Now, around half an hour into my class, there was a knock on the auditorium door.
"Continue writing down what is on the board students," I called out as I made my way over to the door. Once I opened it, I was met with a girl of around twelve with long black hair and bright cerulean eyes. She had on a black aviator jacket over her bright orange shirt, of which I could only see the collar of. She had a floppy green hat that reminded me of a beret placed on her head, covering her hair that wasn't hanging down.
"How may I help you?" I asked the girl, looking down to her.
"Um, may I come in? I need to find someone," she asked with what seems to be a slight Italian accent. She looked up at me, her bright eyes meeting my hazel ones.
"Sure love." I stepped aside to let her in, which made the students look up to us. The girl looked around the room until her eyes landed on Will.
"Girasole what are you doing here?" Will asked, placing down his pen.
"Papà needs you. He had a flashback. Auntie Annabeth and Uncle Percy tried to help, but he really needs you." Will's eyes widened into those of panic as she said those words.
"Ok Bianca. I'll meet you outside the room, ok?" The girl, Bianca, nodded and stepped outside the room as Will started packing his stuff up. Some of the students started asking him questions as he did so, to which he answered quickly.
"Who's that Will?" Meghan questioned, voicing my and most likely the rest of the classes as well.
"That is my daughter. My husband suffers from PTSD and he needs my help. I'm the only one who can calm him most times, so I really need to go." Will rushed out of the class, leaving us to question how he had a husband, much less a daughter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, the class asked Will for an explanation. I was curious as well, so allowed it instead of our regular first block. It turned out that Will's father is a part of a very powerful group of people, and the same with his husbands. Their fathers had a lot of kids and Will was especially gifted in healing, hence why he wanted to become a doctor. His husband, Nico, was kidnapped at age 15 and was put into a bronze jar for a week with nothing but half a pomegranate to eat. Percy and Annabeth, the two Bianca had mentioned, had also been kidnapped by the same people, but they weren't put into a jar. Will had helped Nico through his nightmares and flashbacks while they were dating and proposed when they were both 17. Will and Nico got married the day Nico turned 18 because of their short life expectancy from their fathers and adopted a 10 year old from Italy a year later. I and most of the class shed some tears at Will's story. And that is how I found out that my best student is one of the bravest people I have ever met.
Sorry bout the crappy ending and that I haven't posted in a while. My parents are giving me some amazing problems to deal with, so I may write some more or I may not. In this story, Will and Nico are 21 and their daughter, Bianca, is 12. Bianca is Nico's sister's reincarnation and was guided to Will and Nico by Apollo and Hades, who worked together for their son's sakes. She is also blessed by the two to have similar powers to my OTP. The story is the version the gods/Annabeth came up with need the demigods explain their story to mortals. The teacher also calls everyone love, not in a creepy way. Hope y'all enjoyed and sorry for not posting 😜
