Chapter 4
I DO NOT OWN PJO.
Ok, so I just wanted your guys' opinion. Should I keep in 3rd person, or should I go from POV to 3rd person whenever I feel like it, or should I stick to POV's. It's up to you. Here's the 4th chappie! Enjoy!
Emily's POV.
I woke up on the surprisingly comfy leather couch in Nico and I's cabin. Wait, why is it so warm? AHHH! I FELL ASLEEP ON NICO! SHIT! THIS IS WEIRD! We were talking on the couch earlier, and I guess I just passed out on him. He probably didn't want to wake me up, so he just lay down but I fell over on him, and he fell asleep too. Yeah, that's it. I just hope he doesn't wake up mad at me. AH! I'm so freaked out! I didn't know what else to do, so I just relaxed and fell back asleep.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Was what I heard right off the bat when I was rudely woken up. When I looked up, Percy was standing there, looking at Nico and I. Nico had a funny look on his face, it was one of those oh-shit-I'm-gonna-die faces. It looked good on him though… WAIT! What am I thinking? Shut up mind, let's take on the matter at hand.
"Hey Percy. Nico and I were chilling earlier and I fell asleep on him. Nothing happened, you don't need to worry about that. Nico and I are just friends." I said, which made Nico's face flash with relief.
"Okay, I just wanted to know if you guys wanted to go swimming with me, since no one else wants to." Percy said.
"No thanks, I'm good. I probably will in a little bit, but I'm still a little tired. When I wake up more, I'll be there." Nico said.
"Sure, I'll go." I said. I realized that I was still all cozy with Nico so I got up quickly. I could've sworn that Nico's face flashed with sadness when I got up. "Let me get dressed, and I'll be right there. Wait, I don't have anything to wear." I said.
"I'll show you how to shadow travel so you can get stuff from Amy's." Nico said, getting up too.
"Okay, let's go." I said, and I followed him into the shadow, leaving Percy.
My old room already had bags ready, and Amy was at work. I found a note.
Dear Emily,
I'm sorry I couldn't be here to tell you this, but I love you. I had to go on a business trip for work, and I figured that you would need to come back, so I already packed all of your clothes that fit you and that you like. I love you.
Best wishes with love,
Amy Sullivan
I put the note down, and shoved it in my pocket. Nico and I grabbed all of the bags, and shadow traveled back to camp. It took a little bit of energy from me, but not as much as it took from Nico.
"Thanks for helping me, Nico. I really appreciate it." I said.
"No problem. I'm awake now, but don't tell Percy. He'll beat my ass. I'll go soon, just not now." Nico said. I laughed, and went into the bathroom. I opened up the bag marked 'swimming' and nearly screamed out of happiness when I pulled out a black bikini top that had a tie around neck and in the center of the you know, chest area, a gold buckle with chocolate diamonds in it. I also pulled out the bottoms which were black with similar buckles on the sides. I told Amy I REALLY wanted this bikini, and she told me she would get it for me when I was ready.
"I'll get it for you when you grow into your womanly body." Is what she said, which means when you lose weight and get a chest to fill in the cups. I quickly put on the bikini, and it fit me perfectly. I was ready, because my "womanly body" was here. I brushed my hair out quickly, pulled it up in a ponytail, and gave myself one last look before I stepped out. I wondered what Nico would say. Haha, I no longer want to think of this. I opened the door, and stepped out.
Percy and Nico were hanging out talking until I came out. When I came out, both of them went silent.
"So, how do I look?" I asked, twirling around to show off my new bathing suit. Both of the boys opened their mouths to speak, but nothing came out. "Do I?" I repeated. They still said nothing so I slapped both of them.
"Hey!" Both of them said in unison.
"Well, you both were acting like you've never seen a girl in a bikini before! Do I look good?" I said.
"Yes, really good." They both said in unison again.
"Okay, now was that so hard?"
They nodded their heads yes, so I went to grab a towel. I put on my black flip flops, and headed towards the door. "You coming, Perce?" I asked. He nodded his head and followed me out the door. We walked out the door and I got several stares and gasps, which I think the gasps were uncalled for. Then I saw Jessica wearing the SAME bikini! I am so PISSED! I want to confront her, but don't want to at the same time because it could be just a coincidence. I decide to just go to the lake.
Percy dives in first, and I quickly follow suit. I LOVE swimming.
"What's up?"
"What the fuck?"
"Oh yeah, it's me Percy. I can speak to you through the water, and since you have the same powers as me, you can speak to me too." Percy mind spoke me.
"Ok… THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW BEFORE YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" I mind yelled at him.
"Calm down. Let's go back up." He mind spoke.
I swam up and climbed up to the dock, leaving my feet to hang in the water. Percy did the same and sat next to me. We sat there talking for a little bit until Nico came out in black flip flops and black swimming trunks with neon green fire going up the side. He plopped down right next to me on my other side, leaving his feet in the water too.
"What's up, guys?" He asks.
"Not much, we were just talking about random things." I answer, and Percy just nods his head.
Out of nowhere, Jessica comes over and sits next to Nico. "Hey Nico, my birthday is tomorrow. I'm throwing a party. You want to come?" She said.
"Um, I don't know. Emily, Percy, and I already have plans." He said, not even looking up at her.
"I already asked Percy, he said that he was coming." She said.
"He meant that he and I had plans. Go away, no one likes you." I said, laughing at what I said at the end.
She huffed and then walked away. "Thanks for the save. Percy, why didn't you tell us you were going? If I knew you were, then I might've went too!" Nico said.
"I didn't want to look stupid, considering she annoys you two. I won't go since you two aren't." Percy answered.
"No, you don't have to do that. Go with Annabeth; Nico and I can just watch a movie." I said.
"Okay. I gotta go, bye guys." Percy said and jogged away.
"I heard that they are going to play truth or dare. I kinda want to go for that." Nico said.
"Sure, why not. Let's play truth or dare tomorrow. I like that game." I said.
"We should go get dressed."
"Yep. Let's go."
We got up and went to our cabin to get ready for campfire.
