This story takes place after The Last Olympian but before The Lost hero. Please point out any flaws and share any ideas, but please don't be too rude English is not my first language. Hope you guys like it!

Didclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson, and I probably never will because it belongs to the genius Rick Riordon

"Can you believe how hot he is?", whispered Bell Bellamy, my current crush.

"Yeah", answered the rest of the Aphrodite girls

"Undoubtedly. Percy Jackson is the hottest boy at camp. Too bad his cousin Nico completely fails in that department", said Bell in a far too snooty voice, prompting all the girls in the cabin to laugh.

"Yup the whole goth thing is a little unappealing", complained Drew, "I mean not a drop of pink"

Then they all began to laugh and giggle. I would have been angry at them if I wasn't so shocked Aphrodite girls could use words like undoubtedly and unappealing , not to mention use them correctly. My amazement at their vocabulary quickly changed as my thoughts drifted to Bell. My inner voice began to aghast as I continued to watch the scene in front of me I really thought she might like me it complained

"well she didn't", I answered it

why?

"Because all Aphrodite girls are idiots"

that's not it

"then what do you think genius?"

well maybe I should be more friendly

"why should I bother when they're not going to"

well everyone said Percy was a nice guy

I finally lost it after that. It was one thing for everyone else to think Percy was better than me, it was a completely different thing for my own brain to compare me to him "Well maybe I'm not Percy!", I yelled at nobody

The words escaped my mouth before I could register the consicuenses. They where immediately followed by a long raspy gasp. It took me a moment to realize it came from the girls mouth. I guess it made sense. Aphrodite could make them beautiful, but all that screaming and squealing was bound to hut their voices. Still, it was something I didn't need to experience first hand.

"He's not just a weirdo", yelled Drew, "He's a Peeping Tom!"

My face felt hot, and I knew it was turning pink. I thought about having the ground sallow me up, but decided against it. If I did something like that even the densest of the girls would know with complete conformation that it was me. Instead I simply ran off leaving behind only the unmistakable stench of an embarrassed teenager mixed with graveyard soil.

I managed to make it to my cabin with only the small interruption of tripping over one of Juniper's roots. I hadn't hurt myself, but it was clear Juniper had not spared my jacket. I mentally cursed the gods for giving Juniper such power to hold grudges. That was wrong on so many levels 1. trees are everywhere it's just not fair, 2. I hadn't done anything wrong, and 3. That's my thing. Well, maybe only on three levels, but still, that's just wrong.

After a short struggle for my jacket I made it into the safeness of my cabin. I looked around a few times, just to make sure I was safe, but eventually calmed down. I didn't think I would have any trouble. I mean sure Drew would swear she saw me, but a trees words had more power around here than Drew, Aww man a tree. JUNIPER saw me leave from that direction it was almost certain she would turn me in.

Deciding that dwelling on the obvious was silly I attempted to fall asleep. When I couldn't I began to look at my cabin. The walls where completely black, and most of the accents where different shades of gray. The place was incredibly old timey ,even more than the other cabins, since my dad had given me some of the greatest Greek architects to design the place. They curtains where silky satin that looked like my dad's robes minus the faces, well at least that's what he told me. I was sure I heard moaning at night. I was going to tell someone, but figured it was more bearable than whatever jokes I'd get. The place was tied together by torches holding Greek fire. I thought it was a neat touch really gave a cozy feeling you know?

I'd never brought anyone in here, not that I thought they wouldn't like it. Percy would love the place, he probably think it was cool. Annabeth would love the designs she might even get some ideas, my dad kept saying her design of Olympus was far too girly. Even if they didn't like it, it wouldn't have bothered me. The truth was I didn't want to talk to them if I did I knew I would let it slip that everyone was ignoring me. Percy had made it clear I was a good guy who helped during the battle. He wouldn't like to hear the camp he risked his life for wasn't as great as he thought.

Shaking the unpleasant thoughts from my head, I found them drifting to Bell. She was a beautiful girl ,just like her mom, and I thought she had a special something to her. Sure she was dumb , very dumb, but still beautiful. I had a honest to goodness belief that she might like me. I began to get angry. I tried to to but it was the only thing my mind could focus on. Almost unconsciously replayed a scene in my head.

"Nico", said Percy,"I know you don't feel comfortable here, but at least give it a try"

"What if it doesn't work", I answered,"Let's be honest Percy they don't want me here, I don't even have a cabin"

"You know where going to build one soon", he said

"Only because you asked them to", I argued, "The're only accepting me because your their hero"

"Your a hero too Nico", he said

There was an uncomfortable silence before Percy turned around and began walking

"Just desing you cabin spend a while there, and if you don't like it leave", he stopped for in his tracks and smiles," just one thing. If you decide to leave keep me posted on you whereabouts. I really like to stay and talk but it's time to eat. You wanna come? Chiron definetly won't mind

I smilled at the memory. Percy really was a nice guy , not some unreachable idol, but a true hero. He would understand my choice to leave it wouldn't hurt him, and I be sure to keep him posted.

Smileing I decided to wake up early and go find him. It was such a simple decision. I would have never imagined how much trouble it would get me in.

So what do you guys think? Should I continue or not. The stoll's will be the focus of the next chapter, and all the chapters are part of a single story. So are there any other minor characters you guys would like me to include? Remember to review.
