The Variable [DISCONTINUED-REVISED VER UP AND IN PROGRESS]

(5) Nico di Angelo

Refer to A/N: page after reading this chapter.
This chapter has Nico di Angelo in it and doesn't explain who Nico is because if you don't already know and still call your self a Percy Jackson fan then Shame On You! Nico is a son of Hades and is in the following books PJO: 3,4,5, HOO: 2, 3, 4.
As I ran through the woods I could sense somebody watching me. I turned around, as I did so I ran into something. Or... someone?
"Oh my gods, I'm so sorry." I said as I offered to help us the stranger. They refused, got up and walked away.
"Hey!" I called. They turned around and raised their eyebrows, before turning back around.
"Wow antisocial much?" I said.
I kept walking before I heard muffled sobs. I walked in that direction to see the same boy from earlier sitting up in a tree house.
"Hey. Whats wrong?" I said in a soothing voice and put a hand on his shoulder. He quickly stood up.
"What the hell?" He said, clearly angry.
"W-w-what?"
"You heard me. What the hell?"
"You don't have to be ashamed you know. Even sons of Hades need to cry sometimes." I said quietly. He just stood shocked for a few seconds.
"Why are you kind to me? I.. I mean.. I'm the son of Hades." He stuttered, still surprised.
"Thats exactly the reason I'm kind to you. Nobody is. Your somebody who needs a friend, I'm here to help you with that." I replied. Then he did the most unexpected thing. He smiled! I've known him for years and have never seen him smile.
"Thanks. Your the only person besides my sister who can see that." He said
"What are friends for?" I chuckled he joined in.
"Where are you off to?" He asked, gesturing to the weapons. So I told him about what Lisa did and how I wanted to prove myself.
"I can help train you if you'd like. I mean, like you said. What are friends for?" He smiled.
"Really?" I asked
"Sure!" He replied "You have no idea how much you've helped my already. I haven't smiled in years for Zeus' sake! I owe you, I would help you anyway though of course." He said
Thank You so much!" I said. I was so happy I gave him a hug. I was shocked but hugged back. I pulled away as Percy Jackson, Jason Grace and Leo Valdez came over.
"Hi'ya Blair!" Leo called
"Hey Nico. Hey Blair." Said Percy and Jason
"Oh, hey Nico." Leo added.
"Hey guys." I said. Nico nodded his head toward them and mumbled a "hey" as he looked down, the floor becoming very interesting.
"Hey Blair, we are having a party on Friday wanna come?" Leo asked with a wink. I rolled my eyes before replying.
"Can Nico come to?" I asked
"Wha.. Well.. Sure! I mean yeah!" Said Leo, partially in shock
"Nah, I'm good." Muttered Nico
"Ok you know what? I'm not ok with this! You all treat Nico like crap because he is a son of Hades! Thats not ok! Children of Nemesis aren't hated because their mother is goddess of revenge! Jason isn't friendless because everybody is afraid of Zeus! No! People have got to know them and found out how kind and friendly they are! But nobody gives Nico a chance. I formally met him five minutes ago and I'm already his friend because I gave him a chance! You all need to do that to. But will you? No! So ya know what? Stuff your party and goodbye!" I said and walked off to talk to Harper, my best friend who I go to when I need to rant about something. Well here we go.

*Nico's perspective* Yes I know that I can say POV but I don't want to so please don't comment saying about how its better to say POV then Perspective, I prefer this way.
"Okayyyy then." They all said in unison.
"What was that about? Percy asked.
"That was about her feeling sorry for me because my parentage means I'm a freak regardless of how I act." I said with a scowl. "I act like a antisocial freak because you treat me like one. 'Don't let them in, no reason to be disappointed when they push you away.' It simple."
"Listen man, I didn't realise we acted like that. Sorry man." Percy said sheepishly.
"Its ok. I expected nothing more." I shrugged.
"Why don't you come to the party with Blair,"Jason suggested. "If she comes that is." Leo added.
" Yeah. I'll talk her into it." I smiled and I'm pretty sure they almost fainted from shock. I walked away smiling. I sighed. Time to find Blair. This should be interesting.

*Back to Blairs POV :P*
After I ranted to Harper about the way people treat Nico I went for a run. Then all of a sudden *BAM* I ran into Nico. Quite literally. "Ow" i moaned as i saw Nico. He fell inot a soft bush so immediately got back up while i fell into a puddle of mud. He laughed until his sides ached before helping me up and he promptly started laughing again!
"Yeah, yeah. Hilarious, I know." I said as I tried to keep a straight face, but failing miserably as I burst out laughing. Then I smirked.
"I don't like the smirk on your fa-" he didn't finish because I cut his off by throwing a handful, of mud at his face. Right on target too.
"You just started a war Soldatino." He said and threw mud at me. I hit him with a handful of mud again before replying.
"And its a war I'm gonna win di Angelo." I smirked. He stepped forward so he was only an inch away.
"Don't call me that. I don't want to be on last name basis with my only friend." He whispered. He was so close I could feel his breath on my skin. I expected him to kiss me, but instead he added, "Especially one as kind and beautiful as you." Before shadow traveling away.
