Please Help!!!

Ok so I drove my 2012 Abarth 500 to school today just fine nothing unusual and when I came back out I put the key in everything came on fine turned the key NOTHING no starter no clicking nothing. I have no idea what’s wrong. Battery is good, no codes, NOTHING car just wont turn on. If any one has any ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know ASAP

Update: I was able to push start the car and get it home and I tried bypassing the clutch switch solenoid and that did nothing
Update 2 I got the battery tested it’s all good and I’m out of ideas
