Nico wasn't as upset as everyone else when he found out the arrangements. Poseidon, Athena, Demeter, and Hermes and some other lesser gods like Iris. The campers seemed to think it was too unfair. Apollo and Ares had Hades and Nike, so Nico thought it was a fair trade off. The Apollo kids weren't that bad. Will had a plan to try and outsmart the Athena kids. No one knew if it would work, considering, you know, Athena, but Nico had faith that Will knew what he was doing.
Nico crouched in his hiding spot. Someone should be coming around to him soon. Crunch, crunch. There they are. Then Nico heard the whooping of Percy as the water boy ran past him. Nico started chasing him. Percy glanced over his shoulder and his eyes widened when Nico started chasing him. Percy only ran faster.
Nico didn't realize that there was a person there until he tripped and got a face full of dirt. Nico glanced down and heard the cries of Percy as he leaped over the river and won the game. His team cheered loudly. Nico knew other team members were going to see what happened and if he was alright and the like.
Nico saw who he had tripped over and screamed.
