"What?!" Nico yelled and stood up from the dining table, slamming his fists on it angrily.

"You're going on summer camp, son. So please sit down." Hades said calmly.

"But I don't want to go on a fucking camp!" Nico continued to yell but obliged his father and sat down. He breathed heavily, trying to calm down. "Why in hell do I have to go there?" he asked venom dripping from his voice.

"Language." Persephone gave Nico a hard look before continuing. "In one year you haven't hanged out with a single friend. We're just worried of you." Persephone said, putting her hand on Hades' shoulder.

"Yeah? Well maybe that's because I don't have any friends." Nico almost yelled again. 'Why can't they just leave me alone?' "And guess what? I'm gonna be all alone at that camp."

"Wrong." Hades' said with a face that told he had been suspecting that. "Hazel will be there too. You did know she goes in the same school?" Hades asked. Nico shook his head.

"I still don't want to go."

"We're not discussing it." Hades said.

"I hate you, you know that?" Nico stood up from the table and started to walk away from the kitchen.

"The camp starts tomorrow." Persephone smiled. Nico rolled his eyes and turned to look at them with a big fake smile.

"Any more surprises?"

"Well… Bianca packed your bag and she said that she would kill you if you go through it or change anything. Besides, you don't have time to pack because it's late and we will be going early in the morning. The bag is already in the car." Persephone said. "And we must pick up Hazel too."

-ʘ_ʘ-

The next morning a grumpy Nico was seated in a car. His parents were outside, ringing a doorbell to his cousin's house.

Hazel's dad, Pluto, is Hades' twin brother so that makes Hazel is Nico's cousin. After a few more minutes the backseat door opened relieving a dark skinned girl with golden eyes and brown hair. She grinned at him.

"Nico! It's so nice to see you again. I had no idea that you went to the same school as I. I can't believe I never met you there." she sat next to Nico. "Are you as excited as I am?"

Nico glared at her, "Do I look like I am?" he gave her a big fake smile that could easily be recognized. Hazel laughed it off.

The car stopped and Hades got out of it, opened the backseat and took two big luggage out. One of them was to Hazel and the other was to Nico. Persephone walked over to him with the teens following.

"Okay, now remember to be polite, wash your teeth twice a day, remember to bath often, eat and drink water, remember to—"

"'Phone!" Both Nico and Hazel cut her off. "I think we can handle it." Nico said.

"Okay." she smiled at the teen duo. "Just remember to call every once in a while and tell us what has happened." she said and gave both of them a big bone crushing hug.

"Now here's your things." Hades said and gave the luggage to their owners. "Take care of yourself, son." he ruffled Nico's hair. "And you too, Hazel." he ruffled her hair too.

After the car was out of sight, Nico let out a huge sigh.

"Everything okay?" Hazel asked smiling. Nico nodded. "So, why are you here?"

"Dad and 'Phone made me."

"Oh… Yeah well, Pluto kind of told me that. How about I show you around?" Hazel smiled. "And then, I'm gonna show you my cabin and my boyfriend." she smiled from ear to ear.

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Well, Neeks, you would probably have too if you didn't hide yourself in a hoodie all the time. I hope your bag isn't full of hoodies. I would probably burn them." Hazel said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it anymore. Bianca packed my bag." Nico said. "Could we first go dump these," Nico gestured to the bags, "and then you could show me around."

"Exactly what I would have done. Let's go first to your cabin. I want to see your roomies." Hazel and Nico walked down a hill and over to a U-formed cabin area. They walked over to a brown tree house with a wooden number 3 on top of the door.

"So… This is it?" Nico asked, already grabbing his hood so he could put it on.

"Yap, this is yours. And seriously, put that hood down." Hazel answered and dragged Nico to the door. She knocked on the door and after a moment a blond boy with blond hair and sky blue eyes opened the door.

"Hello Hazel and uh… someone. I'm Jason." the boy now known as Jason said and looked at Nico. "So, what do you guys want?" he smiled.

"Hi Jason. Nico is your roomie." Hazel smiled.

"Right… You are Nico, right?" Jason asked the boy who was wearing a big black hoodie and grey almost skinny jeans.

"Yeah, I'm Nico, nice to meet you." Jason let Nico and Hazel into the cabin. Round a table in the cabin sat two other people who were playing cards.

"Fuck Luke. You're always cheating!" a boy with brown hair yelled, tossing the cards on the table.

"But Jake, I didn't cheat. A lot…" a boy with blond hair and blue eyes smirked. He also had a scar running down his face which Nico thought could have been pretty cool if he were few years younger.

"Guys…" Jason said, turning the two males' attention to the trio. "This is Nico, our roommate." he said.

"I'm Luke, nice to meet ya'." Luke said, standing up and offering his hand to Nico.

"You better not shake that. I'm Jake." the brown haired man said with a smile.

"Damn Jake, you ruined my fun." Luke chuckled and sat back down on a chair. The cabin had mostly wooden furniture if you didn't count the big red sofa in the middle of the room and a TV. Nico put his baggage down on an empty bed and started to look around the cabin. The cabin had a bathroom with a shower and a kitchen to top it all. They had to sleep in bunk beds and fortunately Nico got a lower bed.

"Does every cabin look like this one?" Nico asked as he sat on his bed, Hazel next to her.

"Want to find out? C'mon I'm gonna show my cabin next. You must see it." she grinned and grabbed Nico's wrist, dragging him out. "My cabin number is 7 and its right over there." Hazel said and pointed out an exact copy of Nico's cabin with a dark 7 hanging over the door.

Hazel opened the door without knocking and the duo got the whole attention of three girls. "Hazel! Nice to see you." a girl with black hair smiled and walked over to hug Hazel.

"Hey Reyna." Hazel hugged the girl back.

"So… Who is this young man you brought with you?" Reyna asked, looking Nico up and down.

"I'm Nico." Nico said. Reyna took Nico's hand and shook it.

"I'm Reyna. Nice to meet you, Nico." She said and let go of him. Nico nodded. "Okay girls, mind introducing yourself to Nico?" Reyna smiled and went over to talk to Hazel.

"I'm Piper," said a girl who looked like a beautiful Indian "and this is Juniper." she said pointing to a girl with chestnut colored hair. "You're Nico? How come I haven't seen you in school before?" Piper asked.

"I have." a shy voice said. Nico and Piper turned to look at Juniper who blushed. "I mean… You were my partner in that chemistry project." she smiled.

"Oh yeah… I remember you." Nico answered. "You were my first partner who actually did somet—"

"Nico! C'mon, I want to show you my boyfriend." Hazel came over to the trio and grabbed Nico's wrist again.

"See you later." Piper said and Nico waved to them with an apology smile on his face to before he exited the cabin with Hazel. Hazel leaded Nico to cabin number 9. She knocked on the door and it was opened by a blond, blue eyed boy who had a teddy bear in his hands.

"Hazel. May I help you?" he asked with a British accent.

"Octavian." Hazel said coldly. "I was looking for Frank." she said. Octavian looked at Hazel and then at Nico. He raised an eyebrow but let them in. He walked over to a bed, sat down and placed more stuffed animals on his bed.

"Why does he have so many of them? Is he 5 years?" Hazel asked Nico, although she knew Nico wouldn't know the answer

"Hazel?" a tall guy with strongly built body asked as he came from the bathroom. Hazel ran over to him and gave a hug.

"Hey, Frankie." she smiled, letting go of him. "Frank, this is Nico- my cousin, and Nico, this is my boyfriend Frank." Hazel introduced them.

"Hi." Frank said and shook Nico's hand. Nico nodded.

"Well… If this was it, I think I'll be going back to my own cabin." Nico said and the only one who heard it was Octavian, who nodded as an answer. Hazel and Frank was too busy talking and kissing to notice Nico anymore. Nico walked over to the door and opened it. On the other side of the door was a boy with dark hair and sea green eyes. His hand was raised like he would have knocked after a moment.

"Oh… Hello." the boy blushed and put his hand down.

"Bye." Nico said, stepped around the boy and walked over to his own cabin. There were 12 cabins in the U-form, but only four of them was occupied. After two weeks the other cabins would also get inhabitants. Before Nico entered his cabin, he decided to take a look at the rest of the camp.

Nico walked away from the cabins and soon arrived to a pavilion where they probably would eat. He continued his way to a strawberry field, ate few, and walked along it. When he was ready with the tour, he went to sit on a dock near a lake. The cabin area was close to the lake and he could see few of the cabins from the beach.

The son of Hades looked at the lake while he took his shoes off so he could bath his feet in the water. The water wasn't warm but it wasn't cold either. He took his hoodie off before he got too hot because of the clear sun in the sky. He wore a black tank top under his hoodie. He put his hoodie on the deck as a pillow as he laid down. He sighed as he watched few clouds pass by.

"Hey. I don't think we introduced ourselves before." someone said behind Nico. Nico looked up and saw the green eyed boy from Frank's and Octavian's cabin.

"That's because we didn't." Nico said, closing his eyes.

"Oh… Well, I'm Percy." he said and sat down next to Nico. "You know, I have always wanted to go swimming with my clothes on." Percy smirked. Nico sat up and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Why in hell?" Nico asked.

"Dunno. But hey, I never caught your name." Percy said smiling at Nico.

'That's because I didn't tell you it'. "It's Nico."

-ʘ_ʘ-

When the evening came all campers had been gathered around a bonfire. The camp leaders Chiron and Mr. D stood there talking about something.

"We're going to put you into groups so you could get to know each other better. With these groups you will be making some chores every day and if we have a competition you will use this groups in it." Chiron announced. "The groups are:
1. Jake, Will, Reyna and Rachel.
2. Jason, Octavian, Drew and Hazel.
3. Nico, Perseus, Leo and Thalia.
4. Frank, Annabeth and Luke.
5. Juniper, Grover and Piper." Chiron said. "Now everybody go sit with your groups and we can start with tonight's activities. Everybody went to sit with their groups. Nico sat down next to Percy while one Latino guy and a punk girl came towards them.

"Hey Perce." the girl said. "Nico?" she asked and when Nico nodded, she sat down against them. "I'm Thalia." she said.

"And I am Valdez, Leo Valdez." The Latino man grinned and sat next to Thalia. The group number three fell into a silence while every other group talked with each other. "Hey guys, how about we name our group as 'Leo and his company'?" Leo grinned, not wanting the awkward silence to continue.

"Let me think… No." Thalia answered coldly, but smiled at Leo's pout.

"Okay, okay. But we still need a name for our group." he said.

"How about 'Alpha Romeos'?" Percy said seriously. Everybody looked at him with raised eyebrows before they started to laugh. "What? It was a good name…"

"Okay, now seriously. What about Platinum? It has our first letters in it." Thalia said.

"But isn't that a bit boring?" Leo asked, looking at Thalia. "Let's name us Demigods." Leo said.

"What? Why?" Percy smiled.

"Because we can." Leo smirked.

"Attention everybody!" Chiron yelled. "Let's start with deciding who will do what chores tomorrow. Team1, you will be picking up strawberries. Team2 will be taking care of the horses. Team3 gets the laundry and team4 has to plan with team5 a game we will play at tomorrow's bonfire." Chiron ended. "Now go to your cabins or do whatever you like. I'll be waking you up tomorrow early. Good night." And with that almost everyone started to head back to their cabins.

Nico and Octavian were the only ones who didn't go back to their cabins right away. Octavian sighed heavily, feeding a tree block to the fire. He looked at it with sad eyes before standing up and walking away. Nico watched as the blond boy went and when he wasn't in his sight anymore, he decided to go to his cabin too.

Diary entry 3.6

It's a Sunday today and I'm at the camp my father and 'Phone sent me to. I really don't know anyone here except Hazel, but I don't think you can count her. My roommates seems to be okay, but I see them like the bully guys. Not that they bully me but you know, some nerds from the school maybe.

Hazel has a boyfriend… Frank, I think his name was. I swear that if Frank ever hurts her, I'm gonna kill him. Okay, I probably won't… I also heard that Jason from my cabin is dating with Reyna and that Juniper dates some weird hippie-guy named Grover. I have never talked to him. Percy is dating a blonde girl named Annabeth.

Anyway, I hate it here. I guess it's just because I'm alone all the time and every time I try to talk, nobody listens. I have gotten used to it though, it's like that in school too. And that weird teddy bear guy seems to be lonely too. I asked Jason why, and he told me that nobody on this camp likes him. Well whatever.

I think I should stop writing here. My roomies asked me to play cards with them and I think I could actually join them. Yeah, okay bye.
