High School Hostages

Chapter Seven: Thalia POV
I walked silently out of the cafeteria, aware that I was being stalked by hundreds of pairs of eyes. I closed the glass door behind me and walked down the long corridor.

Left turn. Right turn. Down a flight of stairs. Right turn. Out the doors.

I walked across the empty football field and leapt over the fence in between the Northern and Eastern Grandstands. I jogged over to a large pine tree, book bag bouncing against my hip. When I reached it, I dug through the thick layer of pine cones on the ground and found a small carpet square; one that I'd put there when I'd first discovered the tree. The square was only about 1m2, but it was still big enough to fit my butt on it, and that's all I needed.

I retrieved my phone and a pair of earphones from my bag, which was resting on my lap. I plugged in the earphones then pressed 'Shuffle', wanting a surprise choice.

I couldn't believe what I'd just heard: Luke kissed Annabeth? Of all the people at that party, and there was, like, two hundred; he had to go and suck on Annabeth's face off.

My best friend, Annabeth.

I'd already decided I wasn't going to blame her, as much as I wanted to. She would have forgiven me straight away, so I was going to do the same for her.

So that left one person to blame: Luke.

A little voice in the back of my mind told me, 'Thalia, just leave it. If you do something, it'll just come back and bite you in the ass.' I knew it was right. I knew that if I did something, it would just come back to bite me in the ass.

So, I would just leave it.

But only for now.

I closed my eyes, leaned back against the tree and stretched out my legs; letting the music flood my ears. I was relaxed, content.

And then I felt I disturbance in the peace.

I tentatively opened one eye, getting the feeling that I was not going to like what I was about to see.

Once I'd opened my eye just enough to see, I saw large figure looming over me.

Nico.

He was still wearing his sunglasses, and his black, messy hair hung over them, no doubt getting in the way of his vision.

'Ugh,' I moaned. 'What are you doing here?'

'Well, this is my spot,' he said, leaning against the tree.

'As if, di Angelo,' I scoffed.

He laughed, 'Okay, you're right. But my spot is over there.' He gestured to another pine tree about a hundred yards away, almost identical to the one I was sitting under.

'Right, so why aren't you over there?' I questioned, pushing my sunglasses onto my head so I could see him better.

He shrugged, 'Got bored. I saw you chilling over here all on your lonesome.'

'Exactly,' I whined. 'On my lonesome. The way I like it.'

'Okay then,' he said defensively, holding his hands up. 'I'll leave then.'

'Thank you,' I sighed, and he slumped.

I hadn't noticed how long I'd been out there until the warning bell rung, signalling 10 minutes until the next period started. I had English, which I'd rather just skip, but I'd promised Annabeth that I'd go so she wasn't alone in class.

I removed the earphones from my phone and put them both back in my bag. Standing up, I swept the carpet square over with some pine cones; so no one could find it unless I told them where it was.

I walked back to the main campus, went back through the same door I'd exited through, and made my way to my English classroom; hoping Annabeth would be there before I was.


Like it.? I didn't think it was too good, but I'm really tired, even though it's only 4.30 in the afternoon...

Still lovin' you all.!

PEACE.!
