The most beautiful girl in the world
Ok guys so this is my first story ever. Some of you might have seen my reviews. but I'm just now getting an account. So review please. Tell me what you think. See you at the bottom!
Nico's POV whole story
Maybe some Percy POV
I knew I had to go to the doctor soon, since I had a strange sensation to wear a pink dress. I wouldn't mind the dress part, but until recently, I balked at the very thought of wearing pink. My colour was black. My entire cabin was painted black, until two days, when I painted my bedroom pink in a random moment of insanity. I could tell that something was up. I needed to know, why I had these urges.
I woke up, when I heard the cleaning harpies up and about, chattering away in their harsh voices. It was six o'clock. My appointment was in forty five minutes.
I stretched and quickly got ready. On my way up the hill, I ran into Chiron. He was curious, as to why, I was up so early. I couldn't blame him really. On the best of days, I was a disaster to get out of bed.
"Nico, how come you are up so early? It is very unlike you."
He sounded taken aback. That makes two of us.
"I have very important business to attend to."
Something in my voice made me sound earnest, even to my ears, and Chiron stopped questioning me further.
I continued along up the hill, for a few minutes, until a feeling of dread overcame my senses. Someone needed to be with me. I couldn't go by myself that much was for sure.
I needed Percy to come along with me. I rushed to his cabin, and knocked on the door. I heard noise from within, and I proceeded to walk in. Percy lay on his bed, dead to the world. You would swear that he was a child of Hades.
"Percy, wake up!"
Okay, that didn't work. I jumped on his chest instead. Promptly, he woke up, and spluttered.
"Nico, what are you doing? I was sleeping! And it is six am!"
"Oh, I have a doctor's appointment, and I just wanted to know, if you would come along for support. And I need a ride anyway."
"Well, I am glad to see, that I mean so much to me. And a doctor's appointment? What is wrong with you?"
I shifted uneasily. It was time to confess.
"I don't feel right."
Percy props his head up against his arm.
"Uh huh, we have clarified that Nico. If you are ill, you go to the doctor. And why are you going to the doctor?"
"I have been feeling weird, for about a month."
"Oh, this is hopeless. I have more chance, of getting a pet chimera, than making you speak, when you are like this."
"Okay, I think, that you have a right to know. I don't feel right, living as a boy."
Percy exhales loudly.
"Well, I was definitely not expecting that."
"Are you mad at me, Percy?"
Percy looks confused. The poor soul, he looks how I feel inside.
"Why would I be mad at you?"
"Becauseā¦um, I don't really know actually."
Percy laughs.
"There is no reason, why I should hate you. Come on, let's get moving cuz."
While we were in the car, driving towards the clinic, I tell Percy about my qualms.
"I had an appointment last week. I am getting the results today. I can already imagine, what they will be. But, I hope that I am wrong."
"Nico, you can't change who you are. It isn't natural. Just be yourself. We all love you. I am just disappointed, that you didn't me tell me sooner."
I lowered my head. Now, that I have told Percy, I feel ridiculous about not telling him. How could I think that he would be mad at me? He was the exact opposite, in fact, he looked like this wasn't news to him.
"Percy, I need you to swear on the river Styx, that you won't tell anyone, until I'm ready."
I was even more serious, than I was earlier on to Chiron. I really didn't want anyone to know, before I was ready.
We arrived at the clinic. The white building looked regal in the sunlight. It was jaw-dropping, really.
" Wow."
Percy always did have a tendency, to state the obvious. And that is why we love him. Well, one of the reasons.
"Yep."
I hopped out of the car, time for the results. I swiftly walked to the entrance, with Percy traipsing close behind.
I took a brief look at my watch, and a not so brief look of horror flashed across my face.
"Come on, Percy, we are late."
I know, that it sounded like I was begging, mostly because I was.
"Alright, alright, I am coming. Keep your hair on."
When I reached the receptionist, she smiled at me and tapped away at her computer.
"Oh, I see that you are Nico. You have the first appointment of the day."
For a minute, I was really shocked, that she knew my name. But, then I thought better of it. After all, it was really early. It wasn't like there would be a lot of appointments, at this hour of the morning.
"Are you ready for your results?"
"Yes Ms, I am ready as I ever will be."
The nurse smiled her wide-toothed smile again.
"I am glad to hear that. Is there anybody with you?"
"Yes, one person."
I gestured towards Percy.
"You may go down the hallway, towards room 246. It is on your left. Dr. Matthews is waiting for you."
I waved Percy over and we walked down the hallway. Halfway down Percy grabbed my hand and looked at me, directly in the eyes.
" Nico, are you sure, you want do this?"
Wow, I have never heard him so concerned.
"I have to know Perce. This is something, that I need to do."
"Why do you think you will die?"
"At least then I will know, that I am not gay. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay. But I have been feeling strange, and I think I know why."
"Ok Nico."
Then, he took my hand and dragged me down the corridor, towards room 246. I was so nervous, my hands were getting all clammy, and my heart beat was increasing rapidly.
"Nico, are you ready?"
I nodded my head. I was too nervous to say anything. If I were to speak, I might have thrown up.
We walked in and Dr. Matthews and his team of doctors were already there so the test began immediately. First they did a blood test, that was relatively simple, if slightly painful.
Then, it was time for an urine test. Gross.
They did an overall health check. It turned out, that I was as healthy as a horse. Great, now only one test, before I got my results.
They did the x-rays last.
Percy held my hand though almost all of the examination. When the doctor was finished, he gathered up his samples.
"You have an hour, to eat, or whatever, before the results. Enjoy!"
How was I supposed to enjoy, when I was waiting on such important news?
we walked around for a while, until we found the cafeteria. Percy and I tucked into a large plate of food. I didn't realise how hungry I was. I gobbled everything up in no time. Afterwards, Percy and I were talking about camp, and wondering if they noticed we were missing.
After the hour was up, we rushed back to room 246. That room was soon going to be the death of me. We had ten minutes, before we were due back at camp.
Dr. Matthews looked very serious.
"I have some grave news, Nico. Percy, I must ask you to leave the room for a while."
Now, it was time to panic.
"Please, doc. I need him to be here. He is my half-brother."
"Okay, he can stay. But only because he is your cousin."
I felt much happier, hearing that. He hands me his results. When I saw the inevitable pink gender symbol, I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders.
I handed the page to Percy, and he placed his large hand on my shoulder. I was so glad, that I brought Percy along with me.
