Nico woke up the next morning to the sound of his alarm clock and felt like throwing it through the wall to make it shut up. From the bed next to his, he heard Travis groaning as he was being woken up as well. Sighing Nico got up and turned it off then went about the room to get ready. 

As Travis still wasn't up Nico went and took the first shower and dressed in his uniform before going out to find his roommate still wasn't awake so cautiously he went to wake up the other boy. Something seemed different about him and upon closer inspection he saw that there were indeed differences about the boy. Deciding to shrug it off Nico went about trying to wake the boy up without much success. 

Giving up he went to go start getting his school stuff ready and the boy popped up. "Good morning!" he said with a smile. 

Nico jumped when he heard that and basically had a heart attack. "Morning," he replied once he regained his composure. 

The boy just laughed and got up to start getting ready. Then Nico realized with another start his voice sounded different. 

Before he could dwell on it any longer though there came a knocking on his door. Grabbing his backpack Nico went and opened the door to find a smiling Percy and tired looking Grover who was complaining about how it was unnatural for Percy to be smiling at this early in the morning. Laughing Nico went out the door with them to meet everyone else, after knocking and getting Malcom to join them. 

When they met up with Annabeth, Rachel, Juniper, and Octavian they headed out to the commons to eat breakfast. 

"So ready for this weekend?" Annabeth asked. 

"Yeah I can't wait!" Rachel said. 

"What's this weekend?" Nico asked a bit worried about what they were talking about. Though it was silly worry as only he and Percy knew what they were doing, but what if they both bailed on their friends. What would they think?

Before he could continue worrying Juniper replied, "Oh that's right you're new here. This Sunday is a visitation day so our parents can see how the school is and what we are doing. Every month we have one and the weekend after school starts of course."

By this point they had gotten to the commons and got their food. They were sitting down when Drew made her entrance into the outdoor pavilion. All she got was a few eye rolls from their table. 

Immediately turning away they started about the clubs and sports they were planning to join this year. 

"Well I think I'm going to go to the anime club meeting after school today," Nico informed them. 

"Awesome! I might join you," Rachel said. 

"You can't though," Octavian said. 

"Why not?" Rachel asked with a pout. 

"Don't you have art club after school today," he replied. 

"Oh darn that's right. Sorry Nico," she said. 

"It's fine don't worry about," Nico replied. 

"Speaking of which I have horseback riding club today," Percy said.

"Awesome! Can I follow you and see Blackjack?" Annabeth asked him. 

"Yeah of course," Percy replied. 

They weren't really paying attention to the person who had just walked up to their table. That is until she cleared her throat. 

Looking up Percy rolled his eyes and said, "What do you want Drew?"

"Just to sit with you guys," Drew replied innocently.  

"Sorry but there are no seats. Guess you'll have to find somewhere else," Rachel said. 

"Don't worry I can find somewhere," Drew said with a smirk, as she pulled out Nico's chair. He only had a moment to get scared and no time at all to move, before Drew perched herself on his lap. He gave a startled and certainly unmanly squeak when she did this and started to blush furiously. 

"Get off of him Drew," Annabeth growled, cutting off Percy who had opened his mouth to speak as well. 

"I'm quite sure he can speak for himself. So no I don't think I will. Unless of course he asks me to himself," Drew replied. 

At that Nico opened his mouth to speak and then closed it not knowing to say, opening it again just to repeat the earlier movement. This continued for a while until he finally whispered, "Will you please get off of me?"

"Wh-" Drew started to say but then was cut of by the bell. Then she got up and dusted herself off with a quick goodbye and a wink at Nico. 

"That bitch," Percy said with a glare. 

"Yeah," Nico replied getting up with the rest of them and following Percy and Annabeth to first period. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest of the day passed without much event and then it was time for anime club. He found himself in front if the room the club was held in, after having said his farewell to Percy and the others, debating whether to go in or not. 

Finally he convinced himself to do it and walked in and saw that he only knew two people in it and he had never talked to either of them. They were a punk looking girl that was in his math class, he thought her name was Lou, and a guy from his Greek class, if he remembered correctly the boys name started with an E. Even though he didn't know them he decided to sit next them. 

"Hello," the boy said looking up when Nico walked over to the group of three, another girl was sitting with them. 

"Um, hi. Would you mind if I sat with you?" Nico asked nervously. 

"Not at all," the girl from his math class looked up and smiled. She the continued with, "I'm Lou Ellen, this is my boyfriend Ethan Nakamura." She said that gesturing to the boy in his Greek class and then she gestured to the other girl and said, "This is Miranda Gardner."

"Nice to meet you guys, I'm Nico di Angelo," he replied, taking one of the empty sears by them. 

"The scholarship student?" Miranda asked. 

"Yep that's me," he replied. Then the president of the club introduced herself as Kylie Lester. After a brief explanation of the club, and passing around a sign in sheet, she started playing an anime. It just so happened that this was Nico's favorite, A No Exorcist. 

After they had finished the first episode, Kylie started talking again, "So now I'm going to ask some questions about what just happened in the anime. For every correct answer you will get a point and at the end of the semester they will all be added together and we will have a raffle for three prizes. And along with the after anime question points you will also be given a point each time you sign in. Now with that being said ready to start the questions?"

When it looked like everyone had nodded  she started with, "What is Rin's twin brother's name?"

'Too easy it's Yukio' Nico thought and wanted to say it but got nervous and didn't. All of the questions were like that, super easy but Nico being too self-conscious to answer them, until it came to the last question and no one could remember what the answer was. The question was 'who was the page who was holding the puppet?' So Nico slowly raised his hand and Kylie nodded at him to answer. "Nemu Takara," he said confident in his answer. 

"That's right," she said. "I can't believe you got that, I didn't think anyone would. Congratulations."

"Thanks," Nico said blushing. After this the questions were done and she moved on to tell them that meetings would always be on Tuesday at this time unless otherwise stated. 

With that the meeting was brought to a close and Nico stood up to leave. 

"Wait a sec!" Lou demanded. 

"Um... Okay? Why?" Nico questioned. 

"Because you shall be hanging out with us in the future and you shall need my number," she said as she scribbled what could only be her number on a scrap piece of paper. Ethan and Miranda were laughing like they had been expecting this to happen. 

"Alright," Nico said unsure. 

"Yep it's settled," she said with a nod. "Text me once you get to your dorm." 

"Er okay I might not be back there got a bit. I was gonna meet up with some other people after this," Nico informed her. 

"Oh yeah you hang out with Jackson and his crew," Ethan suddenly came back to the conversation. 

"I do," Nico nodded.     

"Well text me after that then," Lou said. 

"Of course," Nico replied putting the paper containing her number in his pocket and bidding them farewell to go find Percy and Annabeth.

So did you like it? I'm sorry there wasn't much Perco in this chapter especially since its the one right after when they got together. In my defence they weren't supposed to do that yet but alas they went against my wishes. So anyways next chapter will have more Perco. Don't forget to comment cuz I like knowing what you guys think of this story so far.  xRose (As a little post script I'd like to say the anime club raffle wasn't my idea as my high schools anime club is what gave me the inspiration as we do that as well.)
