Chapter 3: Annabeth's Advice
Nico was heading back to his cabin when he saw Annabeth on the steps of her cabin. Annabeth could give advice. he thought.
"Hey, Annabeth."
"Nico!" Annabeth said, shocked to see him. Nico rarely visits camp. "Oh, Hey. How'd you been?"
"Fine." Nico said, feeling uncomfortable about he was about to say. "Listen, I need advice..."
"I'm all ears." She replied.
Nico told Annabeth all about the Rachel predicament.
"I don't think I'm the right person that you should be talking to about this." said Anabeth. "How about Percy?"
"I need someone critical and analytical who can analyze this problem thoroughly." Nico said, trying to sound smart. "I don't think Percy's the perfect fit... Besides, he's with Rachel."
"Why don't you just forfeit or whatever." Annabeth suggested.
"That's the problem." Nico started. "I, I kinda... Sorta..."
He stumbled a bit with his words but Annabeth us able to understand his situation.
"Oh, I get it now." Annabeth said. "But don't you think you should get to know her first?"
"I know her." Nico said. "She's Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the oracle...She has red hair... She's an artist... She likes to wear over large shirts and likes to write doodles on her pants. Her eyes are greener than Percy's, greener than Greenland for god's sake-"
"Actually, You rarely see plants in greenland it's full of Ice and snow-"
Nico wasn't listening. He continued stating stalkerish facts about Rachel.
"She always keeps a comb in her back pocket, but she never uses it. She touches her ears when she's nervous. She pushes her hair back every time she looks down. She likes dogs better than cats. And her smile, oh gods, her smile-"
"Oh my gods." Annabeth said, surprised on how much Nico knows so much about Rachel. "You really like her, don't you? Rachel Elizabeth Dare and Nico di Angelo. Now, don't get me wrong. She's attractive, I admit. But you two? I didn't expect it."
"What do you mean?" asked Nico, slightly offended.
"I mean, Rachel is this big bowl of positive energy and you..." Annabeth stopped for a moment to thing about the right words to describe Nico. She stumbled with her words. " well, you're this Uhmm... Unstoppable ghost king, Which is... Uhmm...a... badass? Hehe"
"I don't know." Nico said. "Please help."
"Well, Rachel really likes being an oracle and all..." Annabeth said, thinking. "change her mind. Make her want you more than she wants to be an oracle."
Nico thought about it. How can he do that in about a week. She already hates him. It's going to be hard. It's hard to really like-like the oracle, which he noticed is coming right at him.
