Days of the past

Nico's P.O.V
Weeks rolled by at Camp Half-blood. Turns out I wasn't as bad at combat as I thought. Well, I still was terrible at it. But Annabeth would help me out and give some tips.
"Nico, you have to hold your sword like this," Annabeth said for like the 5th time.
"I know I know, I'm not really used to your customs... it's been awhile since I've been out in the world," I said.
Annabeth nodded and I tried to remember some of the things she had said.
-Don't let your self-esteem down
-Don't boast about yourself
-have good sportsmanship
-Try to find the opponent's weak spot
I sighed and went to take on whoever was at the arena. With my unfortunate luck, Clarisse was there and before I could run away she spotted me.
"Yes! another little kid to beat up, and this one looks like a white stick!" Clarisse laughed along with her friends.
I wasn't going to let her get to me. I'll do whatever it takes to beat the crap out of the bully.
"Ok," I whispered to myself, you got this.
I took my sword and held it the right way as Annabeth had showed. I looked up and saw annabeth in the stands with worry in her eyes. I'll do it for her I guess, to show that she's a great teacher. An Ares kid, who was the referee screamed "START!"
Right away my instincts knew that I had to defend because Clarisse was more of those "Beat up the kid ASAP" people. So I easily blocked all of her moves not letting her make a scratch on my bare skin.
I looked for a weak spot and I caught Annabeth's eye and she was mouthing "right ankle"
Of course, Annabeth was right so I waited for a few more blocks then I swung at the ankle.
Clarisse yelped in pain and I took this chance to knock out her dagger. Then I held my sword to her throat for three seconds and it was over. I had beat the bully, the crowd stands cheered.

That night I got alot of attention, which I hated. People tried making friends but I couldn't bare it... I realized I didn't belong here at all. I wasn't the one in the prophecy. I couldn't stand it. This wasn't home.
