So, here's the first chapter of my AU! I hope you guys enjoy!

Chapter 1

Nico hated his roommate. He hated him with a passion. It wasn't because the kid was mean. It was actually the opposite. Jason Grace was probably the nicest person he'd ever met; so nice that he practically forced Nico to be social. He didn't ask for this. In fact, he didn't ask for anything at all. Now, they were on their way down to the activity fair to go and be even more social. He couldn't believe he would have to deal with Jason for a whole year. See, they attended this boarding school out in the middle of nowhere for 'troubled children'. Nico's dad thought he was troubled, and why shouldn't he? His mom had died when he was eight, and his sister passed on when he was ten. If you could go through that without being troubled, you deserve a gold star.

"So," Jason started as they approached the fair. "What sport are you gonna do? I'm gonna try out for the baseball team!" Alright, let's get this out of the way. Jason was literally the perfect, all American boy. He was cute, but he was generically cute.

"You want me to do a sport? Have you seen me try to even walk? I trip over non-existent objects, Grace."

"I keep forgetting it's you first year! Sports are everything around here. We have a state championship football team, and a world-famous swim team! Just give it a shot, okay?" He pleaded. His lip scarred lip quivered, making Nico roll his eyes.

"Fine, but if I don't make a team, then you cant tell me I didn't try."

"Hey, wanna swim team flier?" Said a boy from behind him. Nico whirled his head around to find the owner of the voice. The fist thing he saw was a muscular chest. He looked up at the speakers face; black hair, green eyes. "Flier?" The boy repeated.

"Umm... No thanks. I don't swim, sorry. Also, why are you wearing a speedo in the middle of fall?"

"Propaganda. If I wear this, more ladies will join the team." The boy wiggled his eyebrows.

"No girl in their right mind would EVER date a guy who obviously shaves his legs. You can have a six pack, hell, even a twelve pack, but you'll still be neglected if you shave your legs. Look dude, I've never had a girlfriend, but I know one thing: Shaving your legs is less manly than watching a marathon of chick flicks."

"So I'm gonna assume," The shirtless boy said slowly. "That this means you're not joining the team?"

"Right," Nico said, walking away. Nothing in that school interested him. Nothing at all. He didn't like sports; especially not swimming. To be honest, the idea of being in a pool with a bunch of shirtless guys made him... A little more than uncomfortable. Lost in his own mind, he bumped into Jason. "Hey," he said.

"Hey!" Jason replied. "I already sign up for baseball, so I can walk with you. Found anything yet?"

"No... But this one guy tried to convince me to join the swim team."

"You didn't, did you?" Jason said in a worried tone. "I hear Percy's the team captain... He takes swimming way to seriously. Like once, we had to swim in gym class and he kept yelling at me to swim faster! He almost killed me!"

"Then I suppose it's a good thing I didn't join the team," Nico muttered under his breath.

"Okay, catch you later!" Jason exclaimed abruptly. The blonde ran over to the Girls Lacrosse stand where his girlfriend, Piper, was handing out fliers. Nico sighed as he watched his only friend walk away. He turned on his heels and started walking in the other direction, when he bumped into someone. He flailed his arms, trying to keep his balance, before falling backwards into a pile of leaves. The kid who bumped into him fell face-first on top of him.

"What the hell, man?!" Nico sputtered. He could barely breathe, considering there was a dude on top of him.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going and... Hey, are you okay? You look pretty red in the face... Are you breathing okay?" The blonde boy said. His blue eyes twinkled with concern, making Nico look away.

"Uh... Yeah, I just... Umm, dude, you're still on top of me..." Nico could barely breathe. He couldn't tell if it was because he was slowly being suffocated by the blonde, or because the kid was, well... Hot.

"That's interesting," Said the boy, who was obviously not paying attention. "I'm Will, by the way. You interested in joining the archery club? I'm team captain!"

"No thanks. Sorry, I'm not exactly... Athletic."

"Oh no you don't! Do not play that card, kid! You have to join a club! It doesn't have to be a sport... You could be on our writing team! Debate Team? Drama Club? Choir?" He paused, thinking for a second. "How's your singing?"

"I don't sing. Not for other people..." Nico admitted. This Will person was starting to get on his nerves. "Look," He rolled his eyes. "I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine. I don't need to be in a club. Now could you please get off of me?"

Will sat up, still on top of him. The blonde crossed his arms. "I'm not gonna budge until you promise to join a club. I'll help you find one... It'll be fun!"

"No, no, no, no, no... I'm not joining a club. I'll stay here if I really have to." Nico glared at Will. Will glared back.

"That's okay, I have all the time in the world. I'll just sit here, right on top of you, for however long it takes."

"Okay, open your eyes!" Will said. Nico couldn't believe he let the dumb blonde drag him through the activities fair. It wasn't his fault! People started to stare at them, and why shouldn't they? I mean if you just saw a dude sitting on top of some other guy in a leaf pile, don't pretend you wouldn't stare. After about five minutes of being nearly suffocated, he gave in. Now, he was blindfolded, waiting for Will to show him the 'surprise'. He opened his eyes slowly.

"Oh, hell no!" He nearly screamed. "No way! I'm done! You can't possibly make me-"

"But, you promised..." Will pleaded. "Plus, Piper, Jason's girlfriend, is doing it too! You'll be fine!"

"Nope. I'm not doing this. Sorry, but no."

"Oh, well, you see, I foresaw this exchange." Will joked. "So, I wrote your name on the sign up sheet in Sharpie... Tryouts are tomorrow! You'd better be ready!" And with that, Will ran off, leaving Nico with a sheet of paper.

"A Cappella Club," He read aloud. "I'm gonna kill him."
