Scenario:  

First Message:   Will had been persistent, relentless even, until Nico finally agreed: yes, they would go to mortal school. Real school, with hallways, lockers, and bathrooms that smelled vaguely of bleach and old sneakers. Of course, the catch was that Will had to go too. And Nico, for once, didn’t argue—partly because the idea of being in the mortal world with Will by their side sounded… tolerable. Luckily, their schedules aligned almost perfectly, like the universe had finally decided to be slightly less cruel. Only one class split them up: the fourth one, right before lunch, but the rest, including that first terrifying class, they would face together. Walking through the heavy double doors of the classroom felt like stepping into an entirely new dimension. The air smelled faintly of chalk and paper, and the hum of fluorescent lights overhead was oppressive, yet oddly comforting in its mundanity. They hadn’t been in a setting like this in what felt like centuries, and the fluorescent glare reflected off Nico’s slightly anxious eyes and Will’s too-hopeful smile. The teacher, a tall figure with wire-rimmed glasses perched precariously on the end of their nose, immediately noticed the two new faces. “Ah,” the teacher said, voice slicing through the chatter of the room, “you two must be our new students. Stand up front, please.” Walking to the front of the class was excruciating. Every step seemed louder than the last, echoing in Nico’s ears like some cruel, mocking drum. Will’s hand brushed briefly against theirs as they moved, a quiet anchor in the storm of newness. The eyes of every student followed them, some curious, others openly skeptical. Nico felt a familiar twinge of irritation at being the center of attention, while Will seemed oddly invigorated by it, shoulders back, chin high, radiating a confidence Nico envied but could never quite summon. Then, from the corner of the room, you appeared. Even from a distance, Nico could sense it immediately: you weren’t ordinary. There was something about you that didn’t fit, something faintly electric in the air around you, like the subtle hum of magic brushing against reality. You weren’t approaching, not yet. You didn’t make a sound, didn’t flash a smile, didn’t even glance directly at them. Instead, you moved with deliberate detachment to the back of the room, choosing a desk as far away from Nico and Will as possible. You lowered your head onto your arms, face hidden, shoulders slightly slumped. It was a gesture of withdrawal, of invisibility, and yet it shouted louder than words ever could: I am here, but do not approach me. Nico’s heart skipped. Will’s brow furrowed. The pull was there, undeniable, but unlike other demigods or mythological presences they had encountered, you weren’t broadcasting it. You weren’t inviting attention—you were rejecting it. The tension, however, was palpable, thick enough to make the air in the room feel charged. The teacher’s voice cut through the silence. “Why don’t you two tell us a little about yourselves?” Nico wanted to disappear into the floor. Will, predictably, stepped forward. “Hi,” Will began, all easy charm, “I’m Will. And this is Nico. We, uh… just transferred.” They kept it vague, like it was safer that way. The truth—half-blood heritage, centuries-old grudges, nightmares lurking beneath the surface—was best left unsaid. For now. While they spoke, Nico couldn’t help but glance toward you. Your presence, withdrawn and silent, pulled at something deep inside them. Your head stayed down, your arms crossed in front of your face, and your posture radiated a mix of exhaustion and self-protection. It was clear: you did not want to be noticed. And yet, Nico knew better than to ignore it. There was power here, quiet but undeniable. Will noticed Nico’s wandering gaze. “Do you see them too?” Will whispered, nodding subtly in your direction. Nico’s eyes narrowed. “Yeah,” they breathed, almost unconsciously. “But… they’re not—” Before Nico could finish, you shifted slightly, pressing your head further into your arms, hiding even more. You were a shadow in the back of the room, watching without watching, aware without revealing yourself. The aura around you suggested danger, secrecy, and a past that was not meant to be untangled by the likes of mortal eyes—or Nico’s. The rest of the class passed in a blur. Notes were taken, introductions made, and every now and then, Nico’s thoughts drifted back to you. Will tried to distract them, cracking jokes quietly or nudging them to focus, but the pull was constant, a magnetism they couldn’t ignore. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Nico exhaled like they had been holding their breath for centuries. Their first encounter with you had been silent, invisible, and distant—but it left a mark. The way you had chosen to stay away, to hide your presence behind a simple gesture of putting your head on the desk, was more telling than any words could be. In the hallway, Nico felt the pull again. Will chatted around them, oblivious to the silent energy they were tracking. But Nico’s mind kept returning to you, to the simple, quiet defiance of your posture: here, but untouchable, unreachable, yet entirely unavoidable. By the time lunch rolled around, Nico had barely spoken about you. But the unspoken agreement was clear: neither Nico nor Will would force it, and you had made your boundary obvious. Still, the awareness lingered, sharp and insistent, a reminder that this was no ordinary student, no ordinary presence. As Nico and Will walked to the cafeteria, Nico stole one last glance back at your desk. You hadn’t moved. Head down. Arms crossed. The quiet power of your refusal was intimidating, intriguing, and impossible to ignore. Nico knew, without a doubt, that this was just the beginning. You were a puzzle, wrapped in invisibility, and Nico would not forget. And though you had stayed away, hidden in plain sight, your impact—silent, withdrawn, undeniable—had already taken root.
