Nico chap 5

Percy POV

I yawned tiredly. Monday. Oh joy. I groped blindly for the button to turn off my alarm. Make it stop! Please make it stop! That annoying noise is supposed to motivate me to get out of bed. Guess what? It doesn't work. Or perhaps it does because I found the button, kicked off my covers and fell on the floor. See? Out of bed.

Groggily I pulled myself up and trudged to the bathroom. The shower was icy cold. I didn't mind. It woke me up and temperature didn't bother me when I was in the water. When I stepped out I dried instantly.

I pulled on the regular jeans and tee shirt. Quickly I combed my hair my which had remained wet and then let it dry. I follow the smell of blue pancakes into the kitchen checking the clock on the stove. 7:40. That meant I had twenty minutes before school and Paul had already left. "Morning mom," I greeted kissing her cheek. "Hey Nico." I did a double take.

"Hey Percy. You're driving me to school."

"Who says," I ask grouchily.

"I do," answered mom sternly. She piled food onto my plate. We ate quickly and grabbed our bags and coats. Then I remembered I was supposed to pick up Annabeth. Great. Note the sarcasm. Not that i didn't want to see her there were just so many things to do. We lived on the ninth floor so Nico and I headed for the elevator. We went all the way down to the garage.

Reason number one why I like driving myself to school: my car. It had been a gift from Poseidon after saving the world (again.) anyways my car was beautiful. It had been built by the Cyclops. Sparkling sea green hood and celestial bronze wheels. All the windows were tinted. It seated five people comfortably. We threw our stuff in the back and jumped up front. We pulled out of the garage and were soon caught in traffic. I took the opportunity to show Nico its gadgets. The car can skip through traffic using magic. I just have to press a button. I also showed him other things like auto driver, monster sensor, and celestial bronze nets as well as harpoons.

We passed through the lanes of traffic and reached Annabeth's house. I told Nico to get in the back as I parked the car. I quickly knocked on the door anxiously checking my watch. It opened almost immediately to reveal Annabeth with hers hands on her hips.

"You've decided to show up?"

"Isn't it a miracle I did show up?" I said back. "Nico came so he slowed me down." She followed me down the steps and we walked to the passenger side. Like a real gentleman I opened the door for her.

"Hey Nico." What? She didn't even say anything about being late?

Nico said hi back. As we pulled into the school parking lot and we or rather the car attracted a lot of stares. I got out of my car and kissed it goodbye. Not really. Relieved that the bell hadn't rung I took Annabeth's hand and led her and Nico to the office. After examining his schedule I found that we had lunch math and Ancient Greek together. Then we all walked to homeroom.

Annabeth POV

I walked to homeroom with Percy and Nico, who was dawdling behind us uncertainly. When we entered I noticed an addition to our group. They were huddled around her in an interested manner. It took me a second to realize this must be Nicky. She fit Percy's description. Straight brown hair with blonde highlights and of course a cheerful personality. I sat down next to grace and Percy sat next to me. Nico hovered in the shadows.

"Hey guys. Nicky it's great to see you," said seaweed brain.

"Hi Percy! Who's with you?"

"Oh this my girlfriend, Annabeth and that's my cousin Nico." I waved and Nico did nothing except look sullen and depressed. Nicky was about to say something when the bell rang.

We walked to Paul's class Percy and I were holding hands. Nico trailed behind us and others silently. Because nothing exciting happened I'll skip to lunch. The guys were absorbed in their own conversation. I remembered that Dad had wanted me to have a sleep over. This week ended short and was only three days long. "Hey guys," I said turning to the girls. "Do you want to come over on Wednesday? For asleep over?"

"Sure," grace said. "Will your parents be okay with that?"

"They are the ones who suggested it."

"Well that's great! Can you guys come?" she asked turning towards the other two. They both answered yes.

Finally it was time for Ancient Greek. I caught up to Percy in the hall and we hurried to class. Jackie, Max and Derrick were already there. A few seconds later in came Nico, Nicky and Grace. "You will be getting a project today. Each of you will be assigned a god and a partner." Quickly I prayed to my mother that she would be my project and Percy my partner. "Annabeth you will be partners with Delia and your goddess will be Hera." Of all my luck had to get the girl who flirts with my boyfriend and the goddess who stole Percy. Great. Note the sarcasm. "Percy and Derrick you will have Hermes. Nico and Nicky you have Hades." Nico and Nicki? I'd like to see how that turns out.

Pretty soon we were headed off to lunch. Percy stood next me while we got our food. "I mean really Perce. Why do I have to be Delia's partner? And with Hera? Zeus it's awful!"

Nico turned around in front of me. "Annabeth quit your yapping. I got Nicki. She's nice and all but she's way too cheerful. I mean WAY to cheerful." He shivered.

"Yeah Nico but at least you have your dad for the project. I have Hera. Hera," I repeated her name for emphasis. We picked up our trays and headed over to our table.

I know its short I'm sorry. school's starting and I have less time
