Nico POV
Why did Nico's dad have to put him in stupid choir? Actually there's no question, Hades found out that Nico had vandalized the public bathroom at school. Nico had argued that everyone wrote things on the walls of the bathroom, but Hades instead of grounding him took it as a cry for help. Hades had decided that Nico should be in a club and what better than choir. Apparently Hades had heard Nico singing in the shower and decided to put him in choir.
------------------------
Wait a second let me catch my breath
Remind me how it feels to hear your voice
------------------------
Nico stood in front of his new choir mates and introduced himself. The teacher, Ella Harpy or Mrs.Ella, asked Nico to sing something, OH THE AGONY! Nico opened his mouth and mumbled "We can't hear you!" She stretched out you on a beautiful note that made the kids' eyes sparkle. Nico sighed heavily
"I used to rule the world see it rise when I gave the word, now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own-"
Nico looked up in surprise as he was cut off by a standing ovation. He blushed and tried to think nothing of it. "That was beautiful Nico... How about you take your seat next to Will Solace over there." Nico looked up and scowled in the direction of the tall blonde waving him over. "Hi I'm Will! That was amazing Nico!" Nico grunted in response.
It wasn't that Nico hated people, but he was an introvert. Will flinched "Did I do something wrong?" He asked concerned. "No, but if you keep talking you will."
Will looked hurt, but as far as Nico was concerned that pretty boy could stick it.

Your lips are moving I can't hear a thing
Living life as if we had a choice

Lunch was no better. Apparently word had gotten around that the schools bad boy had joined the school choir. People snickered behind him in the lunch line, until Will goddamn Solace, soccer player, choir student, and all the while managing his grades and getting the occasional B in math ,reading ,and English, walked right up to Nico as soon as he got out of the line
"Hey Neeks! Watcha' up to?" Nico stopped dead in his tracks "Neeks?" Was all he managed. Will laughed, "Yeah I like giving my friends nicknames!" It was Nico's turn to laugh "First we are not friends, Second no one, except for my sister, can give me nicknames!" Will looked shocked for a second but only laughed in response. "Okay well maybe we can change that, I mean if you can put up with Jackson and Grace I think you can put up with me." Nico scoffed when Jason Grace ran up to him.
"Hey bro! Okay so Percy and I were wondering-" Jason was cut off when Percy ran up behind them "- if you could judge who's stronger!" Nico rolled his eyes and blushed towards Will who gave him a quick peck on the cheek and scurried off
--------------------
Anywhere anytime I would do
anything for you
Anything for you
--------------------
"Nico? Are you listening?" Nico composed himself. "Yeah I'm fine umm didn't you do that last week when Percy won all five times you made me judge?" Jason blushed and waved off the question while Percy wore a smug expression. "Yeah well umm... Was that Will solace who just kissed your cheek?!" Oh great, Jason always did this when he wanted to get out of something. "Yeah he won't leave me alone!" Nico made his voice grow louder when they passed Wills table making him duck his head down.
(Sorry but there is no other way to put this so...) They had lunch and when Nico glanced over he found Will was gone
(DON'T WORRY IT'S FINE)

Yesterday got away
Melodies stuck inside your head
A song in every breath
----------------
Sobbing. Nico walked into the boys bathroom after lunch and heard sobbing. It wasn't really sobbing just some light crying that Nico recognized. It was the kind that was over something small but you still couldn't stop the tears.
