          Today was Friday. Finally the end of the week. I woke up at 5:30 am and got in the shower. When I got out I got dressed into black skinny jeans, a black shirt and hoodie, my beanie, and black converse.
            I walked downstairs into the kitchen and took a seat next to my sisters and took a piece of toast.
        "Nico you have to eat more than that." Hazel said. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. Then we heard the bus honk the horn and we walked out.
             When we got onto the bus Hazel and Sadie sat with this one girl Piper while I sat in the very back seat. I put my ear buds in and started to listen to Demons by Imagine Dragons and quietly singing.
            Then the bus stopped at school and we got off. I was the last one off.
        "Take care of your self Nico." The bus driver said. I nodded. I walked into school with Hazel and Sadie until they found their friends.
        "Hey Nico, come talk with us." I shook my head. "Come on Neeks you have to socialize."
      " No guys I really don't want to."
       "At least sit with us at lunch."
     "Fine." I rolled my eyes and went to my first class. English with Mr. Blofis. Percy' s stepdad. I sat down in the back of the class and turned on the song that B-Bianca used to sing me Soldatino.
          "Nico maybe you would like to tell us what you were listening to." Mr. Blofis said.
         "Uhhh nothing." I said. He raised an eyebrow but continued with class. After this I had Math, Science, and a free period then lunch. The free period was used for climbing a tree and staying there until lunch.

~~~~~~~TIME SKIP TO LUNCH ~~~~~~

           I got in the lunch line hoping to avoid Hazel and Sadie and their friends. Unfortunately I didn't succeed.
            "Hey Nico why don't you come sit with us."I heard my sister shout from the table next to me. I rolled my eyes and shrugged.
          After I got my food I walked to a table in the corner and I could feel Hazel's eyes on me. I heard the song my sister uses to sing to me Soldatino.
        Then I felt bodies sit around me. Hazel, Sadie, and their friends. "Hey Nico are you eating?" I nodded.
     "No you're not because your plate is full." Jason said. Did I mention this. Percy, and Jason are my cousins on my dad's side. I rolled my eyes. I looked over at one table where I saw Luke Octavian and Chris point towards the bathroom. I nodded. 
       "Hey guys I have to go to the bathroom." I said as I got up and went to the bathroom. When I got there Luke started punching me and calling me names.
Tw
Worthless

Punch.

Unworthy

Kick.

Faggot.

Pushed.

      The word lingered in my mind. As they left I walked over to the sink and started washing my cuts. I looked under my beanie and winced. I had a major cut. I took a gauze bandage out of my bag and wrapped it around my head. Then I went into the bathroom stall sat down and took out my knife.
I started to cut three across both wrists. Then I heard the door open and 12 shoes walked in. 6 pairs. Must be Percy, Jason, Frank, Leo, Walt, and Will.
      I quickly put the knife away and wrapped my wrists. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the stall flushing the toilet to make it seem real.
      "Hey Neeks are you ok?" Jason asked.
        "Yea I'm fine get the hell out of my face."I said glaring as I washed my hands.
         "Wow chico no need to get loco in here. What's under you're sleeve." Leo said. Percy took my arm and pushed my sleeve up revealing the gauze.
        "Nico.  We had no idea."Walt said his voice faltering. I shrugged.
        "Please don't tell my sisters, dad , Marie  anyone." I said.
         "Nico you know we can't do that." Frank said. I looked down.
        "Nico. Please look at me." It was Will. He took my hands." Why do you do this."
         "None of your business now leave me alone!" I shouted then I went back to the cafeteria picked up my tray ignoring the girls question throwing out my food then going outside.
tw end
          I went to my favorite tree and climbed it. I then turned on the song and started to sing.
    

Close your eyes, I know what you see
The darkness is high, and you're in ten feet deep
But we've survived more terrible monsters than sleep
And you know I will be here to tell you to breathe

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione per cui vivo (the reason I live)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

Stumbling lost, the last choice of all that you meet
It's the cost of ruling those 'neath your feet
Paths you've crossed, and trust you're trying to keep
You're exhausted, listening for a voice that can't speak

(Ma nico, mio caro)

Tu sei il mio soldatino (you're my little soldier)
La ragione ho vissuto (the reason I lived)
Non ti scordar di me (don't forget me)
Io veglierò su di te (I'm watching over you)

So you run, through shadows you roam
Seams undone by the love you thought you could own
But he's just one of many that you might call home
And maybe someday, the bitter will fade from your bones

Eri il mio soldatino (you were my little soldier)
Ora un principe oscuro (now, a dark prince)
Ma anche per te, c'è una luce
(But even for you, there is a light)
Che ad un'altra vita ti conduce (that leads you to another life)

      Then I heard someone say, "Wow." I looked down to see the boys smiling at me.
       "What do you guys want?" I asked.
        "We came to find you and to apologize for what went down in the bathroom." I nodded and went on into my playlist and started to listen to American Idiot.
         Then the bell rang and I climbed down the tree and walked into the boys locker room. The only thing I hate about gym is that I have it with Percy, Jason, Frank, Leo, and Walt. I quickly got changed right before the other boys walked in and walked into the gym.
          I walked in and sat down next to my other cousin Thalia who was reading a book about archery.
       After gym I had S.S and music. Then I went home.
