PERCY'S POV (for once)

Percy made his way into the school, shaking slightly. He wasn't scared of the teachers that were most likely monsters or even the school bullies.

The thing he feared for most was Nico.

He was pretty positive Nico would be going to a public school, considering his ADHD and dyslexia were very minor.

Public schools were full of bullies and Nico was the one he knew they would pick on most. He was small and scrawny. Not to mention gay, but he was pretty sure nobody knew about that. Yet.

Of course, he knew Nico wasn't weak but he was still afraid for him. Percy felt like he always had to protect Neeks after his failure with Bianca.

Percy fiddled with his backpack straps with shaking hands and walked into the school.

At the front, a kind looking lady with dark hair and glasses smiled at him.

"Hi, my name is Ms. Lee and you can sign in here. Your schedule is in the band room and you can go get your picture taken in the Study Hall room. Just follow the signs," she said with a perky grin.

Percy smiled back and scribbled his name on the sign in sheet then made his way to the band room. He knew the way there from memory. It was where he and Rachel had fought Kelli (A/N: did I get that right?). The memory still lingered in his mind as he entered the room.

Nervously, he looked around the room for the letter J. It was quite difficult with his dyslexia, but he eventually found the line with about three people in it. Typical.

Percy got in line behind a short brunette girl and waited. It wasn't long before he reached the long table.

"What's your last name?" the person at the table asked.

"Jackson."

"Here you go, Percy."

Percy looked at the lady in confusion. He hadn't even told her his last name, and Jackson wasn't an uncommon last name.

Unless...

"Everyone out!" Percy yelled, getting Riptide out and uncapping it. Students looked at him in confusion, while the lady at the table stared in annoyance.

"Son, why are you pointing a pen at me?" She asked.

"How did you know my name was Percy?" He hissed.

"You're Paul's stepson. Of course I know who you are," she responded flatly.

Percy blushed. "Oh, uh, of course," he mumbled. The lady glared at him and handed him his schedule. Percy mumbled an apology then made his way out as quick as he could.

Only day one and he already looked like an idiot.

Percy walked hurriedly to the Study Hall room, cramming his schedule in his pocket. He could take a look at it later.

Thankfully, there were only two people there so Percy was able to take his picture in peace.

Relieved to have all the basics sorted out, he took a look at his schedule. His first period was Geometry, which he was taking for the third year in a row. Great.

Percy trudged down the hall in search of room 108. Soon he found it and wasn't surprised to see the class already there.

"-and that is what you must have signed. Oh hello. Who might you be?" the teacher asked. He had black hair and wire-frame glasses. He appeared to be professional and, judging by the look on his face, very strict.

Great.

"Percy Jackson, sir," Percy responded.

"Yes, you are 5 minutes late. Detention after school. I'm Mr. Hellin by the way," he said, his face clear of all emotion.

You don't say, Percy thought.

Percy took a seat next to a girl with sandy, blonde hair and amber eyes. She turned to him and smiled.

"My name is Destiny," she whispered.

"Ah, I'm-"

"Mr. Jackson, don't make me add another thirty minutes to your detention," Mr. Hellin growled.

"Yes sir," Percy grumbled.

"I think we'll be good friends," Destiny whispered. Percy managed a smile

"Yeah, I think we will."

-•-•-•-•-

The rest of the day continued to drag on. His teachers were all strict and he hated being back at school already.

Worst of all, he missed Nico.

Percy sighed and walked to his last class, Italian. He had chosen this to learn more about Nico's native language and maybe even some interesting Italian facts.

He hoped he would be able to impress his crush soon.

Percy took a seat next to Destiny. It turned out that they had all the same classes and lunch breaks. Right now, she was his only friend.

"Hello class. My name is Mr. Love and I'm your Italian teacher. Unlike most of your classes, my main goal is to teach you in a fun and exciting way. Trust me, by the end of the school year you'll be able to speak fluently in Italian and have this be your favorite class." He spoke with a wide grin.

Percy already liked this teacher, which was probably a bad thing. He could be a monster after all.

By the end of class he was able to say Ciao il mio nome è Percy. (Hello my name is Percy).

He really felt like was able to do well in this class. It made him feel accomplished.

Destiny was even better at Italian though. She was able to say "Hello my name is Destiny," perfectly.

Percy and Destiny walked out together, then parted ways with a quick goodbye.

As he got in a cab to go home, he knew the first thing he was going to do was reply to Nico.

And he couldn't wait.
