The Killer | A Percico AU Chapter Book

Chapter 1. A Bet

"You'll take any bet?" Jason smirked, taking a sip of his beer.

"Any bet." Nico confirmed.

"I dare you to... find someone in the school who doesn't like you/have a crush on you, and make them fall in love with you."

"And you'll be my servant for an entire month? Do whatever I say if I accomplish this?" Nico raised an eyebrow.

"Yep." Jason nodded, "Just one more thing."

"What?"

"It can't be Percy, Piper, or Reyna."

"Fine."

"Ah, why would he wanna go out with any of 'em anyway?" Leo scoffed. "Percy= Anti-social emo nerd . Piper= Popular wanna-be. Reyna= Kiss-up slut."

Instead of commenting Nico pretended to be interested in his beer's label as Jason and Leo went into these gigantic rants about everything that was wrong with those three. Personally Nico didn't think they were that bad, actually liked them; but did his opinion matter? No. He was just the pretty face that could wink and everything would magically be okay. 

But now he was just rambling. In his own mind.

Man he really needed to stop doing that. It made him seem insane.

Well no one else could really tell that he was talking to himself in his mind or narrating his own life--

Now he was sure he was mental.

"Neeks?" Leo poked him, jerking him out of his random thoughts.

Nico looked over, "Huh?"

"I asked you a question."

"Right, right. What was it again?"

"Which one you hated the most."

"Oh." he shrugged.

"I hate Percy the most." Jason took another sip. "He's just... ugh. I just don't like the dude."

Well no shit Sherlock it's not like you pick on him everday. Nico thought; though  he decided it may be best just to keep that remark to himself. So instead he went with:

"Is it because in grade school he took away all your attention by his 'odd and mysterious behavior'?"

"No," Jason scoffed. "I don't hold grudges for that long."

"Sure." Leo rolled his eyes.

"I don't!"

"Yeah Jason, we all believe you." Nico shook his head in amusement.

"Whatever."

-----

He flew to the ground, tumbling into the lockers without a word. He screwed his eyes shut, silently begging for it to stop. He clenched his gauze-covered hands, praying that there wasn't any visible blood.

"Stand up!" Jason snapped. Before Percy had a chance to do anything at all, Jason grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked him up onto his feet.

Percy leaned against the lockers the moment Grace let go of his shirt. He opened his eyes to look at them through his hair.

"I wonder..." Leo reached forwards to brush the hair from his face to see his eyes, but that was one thing that Percy wouldn't accept. He'd rather jump off a cliff than let anyone look at him eye to eye.

He grabbed Leo's arm, kneeing him in the stomach and twisting so he could throw Valdez over his shoulder and onto the ground. His body smashed down onto the floor, landing with a loud thud.
