Hey, guys! Thank you so much with the reviews, and the favorites, and follows! It means so much to me! Originally, this story was a one-shot, but I wanted to challenge myself by making it a story, and since you guys are interested in it, I want to make you guys proud!

This isn't my first time being on a writing site. I was on Wattpad for a few months, but not a lot of people were giving me feedbacks. And I've been reading stories on here and decided to try it out for myself. I was inspired by a lot of people on here!

Please have patience with me! I don't have a lot of breaks like I want to. I go to a Catholic high school that requires A's and B's. And right now, I'm having a rough grade in Algebra and Religion. So, please, have patience with me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Plus this was short to me. Just telling you guys now!

On with the story!

:)

"Perseus Jackson!"

Percy winced. Oh, no, godszilla is in the house. His door burst opened, revealing his two best friends Rachel and Leo. His redheaded friend stormed over to him and smacked him in the face.

"Why, Percy?! How are you so stupid?" Rachel roared, her arms wailing over her head. She crossed her arms over her chest, a deep scowl over her freckled face.

Percy frowned and rubbed his now red cheek. "My cheek will not thank you for the abuse." Leo chuckled, plopping on the bed next to Percy, throwing his arm around him. Percy, Leo, and Rachel have been best friends since they were in fifth grade. Nobody would ever know that the rich girl, the orphaned boy, and the ADHD one would ever become inseparable, but they are, and as much Percy could become annoyed at them, he could never live without them.

"Rachel, calm down." Leo said. Percy grinned. He was amazed how Leo could calm Rachel down in just a short way. Percy had to break his nail to be able to make Rachel calm. That girl was a like a rocket ship in motion when she was angry. Or better yet, a battle consisting of two vicious enemies. Percy had offered the girl an angermament class, he earned a kick in the shin for that offer. Never again would Percy help his dear friend her anger problems.

"No, Leo. It's Nico di Angelo we're talking about. He could seriously hurt Percy." Rachel stated. Percy frowned. He had heard all the stories about the ever playboy, Nico di Angelo. He hadn't really hated him, how could he really? They never met before yesterday. Nico was a little straightforward and clearly didn't think before he spoke, but Percy didn't think he was a bad guy.

"He seemed nice when I met him." Percy stated. He really couldn't see what the big fuss Rachel was making.

"Percy! He could be playing with your feelings! That guy had a lot of years to trick people!" Rachel exclaimed, smacking her hand on the back of Percy's head. Percy groaned, Leo giving him a sympathetic smile. After Percy's last major break up, Rachel has been on her "motherly" behavior with Percy. Leo, on the other hand, said that it was a life lesson and that he'll find another boy.

"When are you seeing di Angelo, again?" Leo asked, changing the conversation quickly before it escalated any further. Percy was thankful for the save.

"Tonight. At seven."

There was silence as Rachel and Leo took in the information. Rachel glared at the clock. It read: 5:00 in glowing red letters. Only two more hours before Percy would see Hades' son. He couldn't help but blush at the thought of the boy. He was mysterious and had a dark aura, but at the same time, Percy knew he was a, somewhat, good person. The problem was, one of his friends didn't think so, and that friend was as stubborn as a baby with candy. So fiery with things she didn't agree on.

Percy was grateful he had Leo on his side. That guy was so honest and loyal. He would never lie to anyone, which caused to be pretty much abused by Rachel. People would have thought that Percy would run to Rachel when he boy problems. No, it was Leo he ran too. Leo knew exactly what he was going through. No, he didn't like boys romantically like Percy do, but he had had his heartbroken plenty of times. Percy thought that Leo was strong; he admired how his curly haired friend kept a bright smile on his face, his eyes promising that he was alright, that he will be alright.

"I'm not letting you go on that date." Rachel said, placing her hands firmly on her hips.

"I am going."

"No. You're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, you are no-"

"Rachel, just let Percy go. He can handle himself." Leo said, stopping the agrument before it becomes even worse.

After a few moments of Percy and Rachel having a glare war, Rachel said, "Okay,I'll back off and you can have you're fun, but I'm warning you, if he does something horribly wrong, I will come after him, is that clear?"

Percy nodded. Rachel smiled triumphantly, like she won a million dollar check. Leo rolled his eyes with a small smile on his face.

Percy looked back at the clock and did a non-manly squeal. "It's 5:30! I have to get ready! Can you guys help me?"

Before Rachel and Leo could answer, Percy rushed off down the hall, screaming excitedly. Leo and Rachel shared at smile, before digging into Percy's closet, sharing their friend excitement.

On the other side of the city, Nico di Angelo had a smile on his face. While his sister Bianca shed a few tears of enjoyment. Finally, after so many years, she was finally seeing her little brother smile, a genuine smile, a smile that was ready for anything. Nico was ready for a change, ready to fall in love for the first time.

"You look amazing, Nico. I'm so proud of you." Bianca said, a sweet smile on her face as she stared up at her little brother, who was looking into the full length mirror, fixing his shirt and hair. She watched as he took a deep breath and shaking his body like he was getting rid of flees.

"Thanks, Bianca." Nico smiled, wrapping his arms around Bianca's. He was nervous, beyond nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Nico. You'll be fine. Just be yourself." Bianca suggested, rubbing her fingers through Nico's long black hair.

"I just really want this to work out. I know I just met him, but he's special. Really special."

Bianca didn't say anything. She didn't need too. She understood where Nico was coming from. She too found someone who was extremely special to her. It was only a matter of time that she'll tell Nico. Just not yet, he wasn't ready to know the truth.

She wasn't ready to face the truth, either.

But, right now, Bianca focused on her brother as he got prepped up for his first real date.
