This is an AU of all the demigods in high school in America. It's mainly about Nico and Will but there might be some others. Hope you enjoy!

Will stared at the clock in his classroom. He didn't realise time could pass so slowly! He honestly thought that Mr D, his teacher, had powers of making time go slower, or at least powers to make the students die of boredom. Mr D was currently talking about Pythagoras' theorem, or Will hoped. He had stopped listening at that point to look at the clock, and didn't have an interest to listen again.

Will started looking around the classroom to find friends, anyone he could complain to. But alas, he found no one, not even Cecil, and that made Will think he might have gone into the wrong class.

Cecil was in every single one of Will's classes, and it was good that they had made friends pretty quickly. He knew that Cecil loved to prank people, so if Will got on his bad side, Will would be facing major penalties.

Will knew he was in the wrong class if he thought about it. Mr D wasn't actually Will's teacher; Will just got a lot of complaints about him from Lou Ellen, his other friend. Lou Ellen was only in half of Will's classes, and spent that time laughing or mocking Will, though he didn't mind. He liked hanging out with Lou because then they could go guy finding with her, and Cecil hated guy finding.

Will shook his head, he was a going off track again and he needed to focus if he was going to get out of a class that wasn't his.

He looked around again, only this time for escape routes. He looked in every corner of the room, which wasn't difficult, and saw a backdoor. Will started to smile as a plan on how to leave had formatted in his mind, but then stopped when he saw someone sitting right next to the door. A mop of black, unruly hair hid a face that was unnaturally pale. His head was bent down over his desk, drawing in his math book, not listening. Will was weirdly fascinated with the boy. He looked like if he stared at you hard enough, he could get you to run away, screaming. But he was also still only boy. A boy that looked around Will's age, seventeen, and looked as if he had been in too many fights.

Will had the urge to go and clean up a few of his bruises, wanting to be a doctor after all. But he also felt weird when he looked away. Like the kid was someone who demanded Will's attention. Will suddenly had to keep on looking at him, and begun to tap his finger into his desk when Will wasn't looking at him.

Nico di Angelo could feel someone staring at him. For some reason, this staring was different. Nico often got people staring at him, and Nico wondered what they were thinking, though he could tell it wasn't positive. But this staring was very different. The staring didn't feel negative, but felt so positive that it felt like physical sunbeams. How someone was filled with such a positive energy, Nico didn't know, though weirdly he wanted to find out. Nico never wanted to look at the people who stared at him, because they would either start fights or run. Nico just couldn't be bothered in the end, and decided that he would only look someone in the eye if they wanted to start trouble.

The stares kept on happening, and Nico wondered why the air suddenly felt like one at a... hospital. Was the person staring at him thinking of him as an experiment? Wanted to fix Nico as if he were a machine? He had met people like that before, and it was not a good meeting. But this felt different. As if this someone wanted to help him in a way that would make him happier.

This might have made other people really happy, or even feel loved, but to Nico di Angelo it was weird. No one wanted to help Nico, he was the 'emo kid' in school. The staring was the reason Nico suddenly wanted to leave very quickly, and started paying attention to the clock. As soon as it hit the right mark, Nico practically sprinted for the door, needing to be free from the hospital air.

Nico left so fast he didn't see the cute blonde guy asking his friend about Nico di Angelo.
