Guest:sorry but I really don't like that type of swearing so just please don't.
CBRK: thanks,I really appreciate it. Seen that its also from another writer that probably has more experience and skill than me, I really appreciate what you said.
Thalia P.O.V
It's been about a week since Thalia started avoiding Nico. Sometimes she even considers the option of forgiving him,but before she makes her decision official, a distraction always comes to,well,distract her. For the first 3 days, Nico had been trying to apologise to her but she would just walk faster or start a convocation with the campers she knew from the previous summers, in classes she would quickly partner up with someone before he could ask to be partnered with her. But after those 3 days Nico understood that she didn't want to talk to him and gave up.
Thalia sometimes missed his constant tries to apologise...they were actually quite amusing to watch, Nico running through crowds to get to her but accidently running into a pillar instead, him trying to apologise by yelling and standing on the bench from across the mess hall at meal times but falling of the bench halfway...honestly,those times were actually more hilarious than embarrassing. Watching Nico flapping his arms around like a retarded bird trying to keep his balance on the bench but failing and landing with an 'oomph' or a 'Dam that was pain' onto the floor. Thalia could replay those part over and over again without getting tired of them.
'Earth to Thalia! Hello! Pinecone face! Goth gi-' Annabeth said waving her hand in front of Thalia's face,breaking her out of her thoughts. 'Yes, I totally agree.' She said coming out of daze and straitened up. 'U agree that?' Annabeth raised her eyebrow at Thalia,and the said girl's cheeks reddened. 'Er,I agree that we should have deep fried prawns as a dish for lunch?' Annabeth raised her other eyebrow. Thanks annie,be all serious now and dont help me out,you could hv at least smiled or something. Piper,who was sitting opposite Thalia,snickered ,making Thalia realise she was there. 'Oh! Piper! You're here! When did you come? Oh is that a new necklace?' Thalia said trying to make the attention to Piper. 'Piper finally cracked and burst out laughing, making Thalia's cheeks redden more. 'Come on Thalia. We all know you didn't hear a thing we were talking about. You were obviously daydreaming or something.' Annabeth said, trying to suppress a laugh. 'Who? Me? Daydreaming? How dare you accuse me of such a thing?' Thalia said dramatically, but grinning herself. People were to starting to stare at them because they were laughing so loudly.
'Oh,o-okay. Let's stop. People are staring. Oh-okay. Stop.' Piper said sobering up.
Heh first to start,first to stop I guess.
'Ok. So...who were you daydreaming about?' Piper asked wriggling her eyebrows at me. Congratulations miss McLean. You just got smacked at the back of your head by yours truly,Miss Thalia grace.
'Ow! Well im sorry ma'am, but geez do you have to hit so hard?' Piper asked,rubbing the back of her head.'Thalia.' Annabeth warned. 'Sorry mom.' Thalia held up her hands in defeat,making annabeth glare at her.
Oh the wonderful sight of her oh-so wonderful and beuatiful glare.
Thalia smiled innocently at Annabeth,making the said blonde roll her eyes. 'Anyway,really though thals,who were your thinking of?' Annabeth raised her eyebrows suggestively with an evil-ish smile playing on her lips. Piper rested her head on her palm and they both stared and Thalia intently, daring her to blurt out the answer. 'Oh fine,' Thalia sighed giving in. 'IwasthinkingofNico.' She said quickly,apparently still not giving in. Piper sat up straight and smile gone,clearly not happy with Thalia for getting her hopes up. 'Come on thals,stop getting our hopes up and just tell us.' Annabeth said ,not happy with her too. 'Oh fine.' She said. The other two narrowed their eyes not trusting Thalia would change her ways that fast. 'Fine then. Dont trust me,no answer.' Thalia said like it was the simplest thing in the world. Piper immediately perked up but Annabeth still had her eyes narrowed. Thalia narrowed her eyes playfully back at Annabeth and said 'Well,seen as miss chase here still doesn't believe me,I'll just tell Piper.'
'Alright then, Piper you better tell me what she told you later.'
'Excuse me,but I am no messenger. Want to know then hear it yourself!'
'Fine then!'
'Good!'
'Excellent!'
'Wonderful!'
'Great!'
After a few seconds of the tension between the 3 girls, Thalia with her eyes still narrowed at Annabeth, Annabeth's arms crossed across her chest,eyes narrowed at Piper, Piper doing the same but at Annabeth, they suddenly burst out laughing. There you go,that is solid proof that best friends will never stay mad at each other for some stupid reason.
'But seriously though,you can't keep such info from us for long you know.' Piper said.
Thalia pouted and looked down at her shoes like a 5 year old before properly giving in. 'I was thinking of Nico.' She sighed. Piper squealed like the little aphrodite girl she is and Annabeth grinned at her best friend. 'I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!' Piper squealed.
'Ok girl,calm down. I get it,you knew it.' Thalia said,wide eyed at her for her sudden outburst and trying to keep her in her seat. 'I knew you couldn't stay mad at him for long. Ha!' Piper said,pointing to no one in particular but sitting back down in her seat.
'So,my dear pinecone face, why have you suddenly taken interest in that one boy.' Annabeth said trying to sound posh and resting her elbows on the table in a businesslike way.
Thalia glared at the nickname. 'Don't call me that.'
'Oh please don't avoid the question my dear pinecone face.' Annabeth grinned at her.
'I wasn't avoiding the questi-'
'Still avoiding.' Piper sing-songed.
'As I was saying before I was interrupted,' Thalia glared half-heartedly at Piper.'I wasn't avoiding the question and I wasn't taking interest in him,' Piper choked on her own saliva at that. 'I just thought that maybe I should forgive him?' She said the last few words an octave higher.
'Of course you should forgive him!' Annabeth and Piper burst out in unison.
'Have you seen his face when you avoid him?'
'Do you know what Percy says about him when we talk?'
'Okay, 2 things.' Thalia held up her hands as though trying to block out their bombard of remarks. '1,calm down, it's not like the world's ending just because I thought of forgiving him. And 2 no piper, I have not seen his face when i avoid him.'
'But why?!'Piper practically yelled.
'Because I've been avoiding him.' Thalia held her hand to her left ear where piper had yelled into. 'And 3 since when have you been talking to percy?'
'That was 3, not 2.' Annabeth said.
'When did I say 2?' Thalia asked innocently, making Annabeth roll her eyes. 'And look who's avoiding questions now?' She raised an eyebrow at the blonde.
'Oh well,I do learn from the best.' She told Thalia in fake admiration.
'Yes, I must say that I am quite great.' Thalia touched her chest looking into the sky as though thinking of all the great things she was.
'Oh yes, yes. Very great if I do say so myself. But you know what else if great? The fact that you want to forgive your one and only Nico.' Piper joined in.
'Ah, yes. Quite great,yes.' Annabeth agreed.
Thalia glared at them and said 'You people are mean.'
'We try.' Piper said,nodding.
'And he isn't mine...and I never said that I wanted to forgive him,I just said I thought of it...' Thalia mumbled,looking the ground.
'Yes you've thought about it, but that doesn't mean that you most certainly won't forgive him.' Annabeth pointed out.
'I also never said I most certainly won't forgive him...' She mumbled again.
'Then forgive him!' Piper shouted, earning them a few stares and a whack on the arm by Thalia.
'Shush, you nutjob.' Thalia scolded a little too harshly. Piper shrunk away and kept quiet,looking ashamed.
'Oh my gods,I am so sorry,Piper. I just didn't-I mean-I-I-sorry...' Thalia apologised when she realised how harsh she had scolded her,then looked down at her shoes in shame. Piper looked up with a small smile and reached out and took Thalia's hand. 'Don't worry,Thals,I forgive you.'She said. Thalia looked up with wide eyes then grinned to see Piper smiling at her.
Thalia kept twisting and turning in her bed that night. It wasn't because her bed wasn't comfortable in the bed, heck she's slept in this bed since the camp was open, it'll be a miracle if she still slept in this bed even when it's uncomfortable. And this Grace takes her beds and sleep very seriously. Her constant fails to sleep was because she had so many things on her mind she couldn't even relax. Finally, after accidentally hitting her hand on the bedside table, she got up and decided to go for a walk around the camp. Yes it was dark and quiet and creepy,but she actually enjoyed the quietness. Thalia always loved the moon. The way it shines on everything in the dark, the way it maked nature look even more unique than it already was,not even really having a proper reason to exist and yet it did and it was enough for Thalia.
After an hour or so of walking around camp admiring the beauty of the moonlight on the buildings,she found herself wandering around the forest that surrounded half the camp. The trees were tall and bushy and may be creepy for some but you could clearly see the sky above full of constellations like Orion,Scorpio, the southern cross, perseus and so on,with the big round,full moon hanging above which was always a plus. She was so carried away by the beauty she didn't realise that a certain black eyed boy was following her silently through the woods.
A/N:sorry if piper seemed really annoying and if this chapter was boring and a waste of time...well my brain is just as boring so yea...
Hope you liked the chapter! Review what you think of it!
