With Light Comes Shadows (Solangelo AU)

First Day

Nico's POV
     It's the first day of high school and I'm walking to school with my two sisters Hazel and Bianca. Hazel was scared and I don't know why it's just like middle school just the school has older kids and much more choices for classes like french, Spanish and etc. Bianca is two years older than me and Hazel and told her it isn't that bad so I think that made her feel better. 

     We see cars driving in and out with some being parents dropping off their kids and others being seniors and juniors driving their cars. It was all our first day at this school called "Half-Blood High" it's a creepy name to be honest with the word blood in it but I guess it's normal  for New York I heard they are into some creepy shit. 

  I really miss Italy because at least I knew my way around and I had some friends. Our mom made us move to America because apparently Italy was getting to dangerous with all the terrorist attacks around Europe and she was scared it would happen in Italy next so we moved to New York where 9/11 happened which totally makes sense mother. It always makes me roll my eyes. 

  We walk into the doors and the school is way bigger than our old school in Italy. Probably twice the size and probably has more bullies.....great I thought in my head. We walk towards the office and tell the receptionist that we are here to see Mr. Chiron for our schedules and locker numbers and she nicely guided us towards his office. Chiron was very tall and had long hair that was brown but starting to grey along with a beard. We walk in and he looks at us and tells us to sit. 

"So you guys are the Di Angelo's.....French right? He asked.

 "No Italian" I grumble. He looks at us and starts talking about our schedules. 

"You guys excel in almost every subject it appears except algebra so that means you guys will be in all advanced classes minus algebra which will be just your normal grade, choose your electives, maybe join some clubs, and than you can get a tour of the building by some of our other students" he said with an optimistic smile.

  We all nod and start choosing our electives with me choosing a graphic design class, PE because apparently here you have to have that credit, and a writing and art class. When we were all done he introduced us to our tour guides. 

    "So Bianca since you're a senior this is Thalia Grace and she will be your guide" he said pointing to a girl with black spiky hair, leather jacket, ripped skinny jeans, and she had a necklace with a Medusa head on it which intrigued me the most.....weird.

 "Nico you have Percy Jackson as your guide who is a sophomore just like you" He said pointing to a boy with messy black hair, eyes that changed from green to blue, and a blue t-shirt with jeans. He was quite handsome.

"Hazel this is Frank Zhang who is a freshman but looks like a sophomore" he said with a chuckle. I look at Frank and he seems to be of Asian descent or at least some and black hair along with a purple shirt and blue jeans. 

Percy also had a strange charm on his necklace that was a trident and Frank had a wolf which was weird and I needed to find out how they are related or at least meant. 

"They are all nice kids and I hope you guys become great friends" Chiron said knocking me out of my daze. 

  I rolled my eyes but but followed them all out of the office and towards the corridors.

 "So basically to sum up the school pattern the freshman wing with all the freshman classes is mostly in the West of the building, the North wing is sophomore and junior classes mostly minus the cafeteria and courtyard, and than the East wing is the Senior classes and where most of the electives classes are at" Thalia said. 

We kept following them until we got to the cafeteria. "This is the cafeteria where most of the kids eat usually all the classes eat together because the cafeteria can hold the whole school surprisingly....but I guess that makes sense since we use it for assemblies...." Percy says looking with a shrug. 

"As you can tell Percy is not the brightest" Frank said making everyone laugh except me who just smiled. 

Percy grumbles at Frank while we keep walking. We enter what I'm guessing is the courtyard and it actually looks well taken care of with a pond and giant tree in the middle of it along with some benches and tables to sit at and flowers of all colors and types literally everywhere.

 "So this is our wonderful prized courtyard and it's usually kept under maintenance by Coach Hedge and his nephew Grover Underwood, Coach Hedge is also the PE teacher and just a warning he's not the nicest but he has a sweet spot.......sometimes" Thalia said laughing with Percy and Frank. 

  Me, Hazel, and Bianca finally had to part ways so we can get tours of our own grades wings. I hug all of them and wish them good luck and walk off with this annoying kid named Percy Jackson. We walk silently except when he shows me something like the lockers or biology labs until finally he asks where I'm from. 

"I'm from Italy.....Venice to be exact and I miss it so much and I'm kinda freaked out by American customs and how much fast food they eat....it's disgusting" I said causing Percy to laugh. 

"I mean I agree with you about the fast food part but...it's really good and sometimes you can't say no" he said laughing. 

"Anyways it appears your first hour is English with Mr. Aristotle" He said in front of a door. "I got to go back to the only class that I have with my girlfriend and spend some time with her so nice seeing you and sit with us at lunch if you want good luck!" he said running off.

 I walk in and everyone stares me down. 

The teacher stops what he is doing and looks me up and down. "Who might you be to interrupt my important lesson?" He asked.

 "I'm Nico Di Angelo....the new student" I said quietly. 

he grabs my paper with my schedule and grades history and looks at me amazed "Amazing go sit next to Will Solace and by the way your grades are marvelous!" He said and goes back to teaching about adverbs or some shit, 

    I look over at the boy next to me.....his name is Will Solace and he seemed extremely way to outgoing. I start doodling on my paper when I feel something look over my shoulder and look to see it's Will. 

"Your a REALLY good artist!" he said happily.

 "thanks" I said with a mumble and go back to my doodling until I hear him talk again.

 "Awesome we have algebra, writing class and English obviously together" he said looking at my schedule with a smile.

 I grab it from him and give him a dirty look "You don't just look at people's stuff without their permission" I said trying to sound mean......but for some reason I couldn't.
