Imperfect

Nico POV
...
Ugh, I hate Mondays. Not only is it Monday, but it's also the first day of school. I'm going to be a sophomore, yay me. I really hate my school. It's mostly made up of snotty spoil teenagers, being fake. I hate fake, just like I hate being lied to. People who act fake or lie can go fucking die for all I give a shit.

I walk in to my kitchen, where I was greeted to my family. "Good morning, Nico," said Sophia. She is our nice step-mother, who for mysterious reasons don't find our extended family to be weird. Bianca, the oldest sibling, and I are children from our father's, Hayden Di Angelo (who we sometime can Hades without him knowing), first marriage and then there was our youngest sibling, Hazel, from his second one. Our father seems to not have the best in luck with his love life, seeing as Bia's and my mother died in a car crash and Hazel's mother was a gold-digger only interested in our money. Even if we were related by blood with got fond of Hazel, so when they got divorce, we fought custody for Hazel and won.

"Morning mother, can I fake being sick, I really don't want to go to school today."

"No way, if I have to go to school today, so do you," said Hazel. She had dark coffee skin compared to us, but no one really minded it. "You mister are going to school today. I don't care if I have to drag you by your hair, this my first day in Olympus High, so I need you to show me around. You are going and that's that." Sophia laughed a little and I sighed. I got ready, knowing I wouldn't win this argument and left for school.

But before I left Sophia yelled at us saying, "Oh, don't forget kids, afterschool you two need to come straight home so we can go visit your sister." We both nodded our head saying we will and ran out the door.

Percy POV

Ring, ring, ring
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Shit my head hurts from last night. I knew today was not going to be good. I ran to the kitchen to see if my mom was there, but no luck. The only thing I saw was a note and a plate of pancakes.

Good morning honey, I had an early shift today and won't be back until late. If you get hungry, there is some money to order some pizza. Be a good child today and have a great day at school. I love you my sweetheart.

My mom, Sally Jackson, is the greatest mom in the whole world. I know, I know that's what everyone says about their mother, but in my eyes she is the best. After my biological dad ran out on us, mom married a really jackass, named Gabe, who would abuse us when I was young. Thankfully he was arrested and out of our live for good. The only problem we had left was money. Money was tight in our family and with no living family members to help us out, mom had to work her ass off so that we can make due. I can't wait until I can get out of school so that I can work, so I can help her out. We live in a small two bedroom apartment that even the rats and roaches think it's a shitty place.

After looking at the clock, I noticed that I was going to be late to school. I ran out the door and started sprinting to school. I made it to school with only a few seconds to spare. When I ran to my first class, I slammed into someone in the classroom.

"OW! Watch it jackass," yelled a ravened hair boy. Then when I took a closer look, I saw that it was Nico Di Angelo. Great, the first thing I do in at school was make Nico mad. I took a moment to notice that I was staring at Nico and then quickly remembered the dare I had to do. Become friends with Nico Di Angelo. Crap, how was I supposed to become friends with someone who hates me now? The only reasonable option to do now was to apologize, but before I had the chance, the bell rang. Nico glared at me and then went to his seat.

First period was boring as fuck. I didn't even try to listen. The teacher was boring as fuck and my mind was too busy think about what Nico may think of me right now. Fuck, he must hate me now. What in the fuck am I going to do now? My mind was too occupied about Nico hating me that I didn't notice that the bell ranged. I rush to where Nico was sitting to apologize, but by the time I got there, he had already left. Fuck my life.

Nico POV
...

Fuck me! My mind kept on yelling and this is because of one specific person, Percy Jackson. Gods, because of that little scene this morning, I already have drawn some attention to myself. When the bell ranged at the end of first hour, I ran straight out of the door. I was hoping that I would not draw attention this year, but it looks like that's over. People that saw me yelling at Percy are now bullying me. Whenever they had the chance, they would trip me causing me to fall face first onto the floor. Well I guess that's what you get for yelling at one of the most popular guy in the school.

I rushed to my best friend, Kevin. Kevin is the greatest friend I could ever have. Not only was he reliable, but he cared about his friends even if they don't see it. He could be bitch sometimes though, which I don't really get though. But the thing with Kevin is that whenever I need help, he would always stand by my side. He didn't care about who I was, he only cared about me (in a friends kind of way). "Hey Nico, what's up?"

"Fuck me Kevin, I made a horrible mistake."

"Okay? Tell me about it, maybe I can help," said Kevin, putting his arm around me. I told him what had happened and he listened to it. "I can't believe those asshole, tell me who they are and I'll go beat the shit out of them. How dare they hurt my precious Nico!" Kevin yelled, making people look at us with disgusted expressions.

That's another thing that I hate about this school. In this school, LGBT are not really welcomed. Which makes us both closet gays so that we can be safe. We learned that the hard way when our friend Ethan was stabbed in the eye one day while he was in the locker room for having a boyfriend, Alabaster. When their parents heard about this accident, they were both quickly transferred out of school, and since then, no one ever came out in the fear of getting hurt. We both decided that it would be safer for keeping the gay thing to only our friends.

"It's okay Kevin, this thing is going to blow over soon enough. Let's just go to our classes and go home. Got it?" He agreed, and we went our separate ways and promised to meet up during lunch.

Percy POV
...

I never had a chance to talk to Nico the rest of the morning and thought it would be better to just do it during lunch. When lunch pulled in, I made my way to where Nico was sitting with a couple of other people were sitting in the back of the lunchroom.

"I am so sorry man," I quickly apologized. "I did not mean to run into you like that today."
Everyone around the table were looking at me with total confusion. At first there was an awkward silence, until finally the black hair boy sitting next to Nico finally broke it.

"What the fuck Jackson, we don't want anything to do with you. Didn't you do enough damage, by causing guys to start picking on Nico?" I stood there confused for a moment after he spoke. I had no idea people started picking after him. Fuck, what have I done?

Finally Nico spoked, "It's alright Kevin I can speak for myself." With that, the black hair boy (whose name I will remember as Kevin for now on) stopped talking and let Nico to speak. "Look Jackson, it is okay now. I know it was an accident, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. So you can go now." When he said that, I was a little sad, but I understood and left.
...

Nico POV
...

After Percy apologized, I went to the rest of my classes with ease. It seems that Percy's apology during lunch stopped those asshole that were picking on me earlier. I was finally going to my last class for the day with Kevin, when suddenly, Percy and one of his friends, who I recall his name to be Leo, sat next to us. The dumb English teacher, for some reason, thought it would be great for us to spend the first day in class to split us up into groups of four and to get to know each other. And it seemed that these groups would together for the rest of the semester and are responsible for all group assignments. Which is just great, like I did not have enough attention, I was paired up with Percy and Leo, one of the most popular student in the school and a troublemaker who doesn't like to do his work. Kevin and I could already feel the glares of jealousy from other classmate (mostly because of Percy).

"Hey guys, I guess we will be partners for some time," said Percy who was trying to break the ice in our group. Both Kevin and I got to admit his efforts. "Well since we're going to work with each other, I guess we should get to know a little about each other, I'll go first. My name is Percy Jackson," Percy said while for some reason both him and Leo started to laugh.

"Wow for someone really popular, he really doesn't know how to make good jokes," whisper Kevin to me, causing me to start laughing. "Well since that suck," wow he is as blunt as ever, "I'll go next. My name is Kevin Lopez and I really don't like how Mr. Blofis assigned our groups. I have nothing wrong with him or the two of you, I just don't see how this group is going to work out." I had to admit, Kevin does have a point. We had two members in the group that look like they wouldn't give a shit about their grades (and I'm not talking about Kevin or me.)

"Dude, stop think negative. I have a feeling that this will work out. Leo it's your turn."

"Right, my name is Leo Valdez, but you can call me your leader," with that all of us started to laugh at that joke.

Finally it was my turn. "Hi, my name is Nico Di Angelo and I guess I'm in your care."

"Nice job," said Percy. He then took out his phone and said, "If we are going to start working with each other, I guess we should exchange phone numbers." With that we all took out our phones and exchanged numbers. The bell then rang, and we left.

Ugh, finally I can go home and visit Bia. Once the bell ranged, I left and met up with Hazel, who seemed to be talking to some buffy guy (take note to find out who he is). When she finally saw me, she said goodbye to that guy and went to me. "Hey Nico, ready to go say hi to Bianca?"

"Of course I am, Hey, who was that guy anyway?" Hazel looked at me with a face trying to say to not hurt him. "Don't worry Haze I won't hurt him...yet."

"His name is Frank fyi and I don't want you to do anything to him. And please promise me that you won't say anything to our family. You know how they." When she said that, I knew what she meant. Our dad would do a background check on him and if that would freak him out, our step-mother would confront his parents with an embarrassing conversation about the two people and about their relationship, and Bia would freak the hell out saying that she wants to meet him and know all about him. I promised her that this will be our little secret and we left to the hospital.
...
I hate going to the hospital. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting my big sis, but the problem is the suffocating aura of death. Once you visit the hospital for a certain amount, you get to feel a dark aroma of death and gloom. You see people come and go, either from getting a pass to leave or in a bag. Plus that isn't the worst part. The worst is when I go see Bia.

When our mom and Bia got into that accident, nothing was ever the same in the place hold. We had lost our mother, well technically, only I know that our mom had died. Bia didn't get injured physically, but she lost all her memories and would have these sudden melt downs. The doctors said it would be wise to send her to the nuthouse, but he refused. It was pretty tough with my dad he found out that she didn't know who we were. When I was finally old enough to know what had happen, I would wish for her to regain her memories and I still do.

Well that didn't work out well its been six years since that accident and Bia showed no signs of recovery. When we entered Bia's room, we found her singing a lullaby. It was weird, the only thing Bia remembered, was the lullaby our mom would sing to us when we were having nightmares. After noticing us, she stopped singing and greeted us, "Hazel, mother, papá, Neeks! I'm so happy to see you," she said while she got up and hugged us all.

"Hey Bia, it's so great to see you too," I said while I sitting down on one of the chairs in the room.

"So tell me Neeks, Hazel, have you found anyone yet?" When she said that, Haze had turned red, thank goodness our parents when to the café to get something to drink or they would start. "OMG! Hazel you have to tell me everything about him." When she said that, I took a deep breathe and spent the rest of my time watching my two precious sisters talk until visiting hours were over.
