A/N: Annabeth and Percy have been dating for 3 weeks when Rachel destroyed their relationship. But they're back together anyway so on with the story…

Chapter 9

*Nico's POV*

A/N: This scene is in chapter 6 when Bianca introduced herself to Annabeth.

"Hi! I'm Bianca. Daughter of Lord Hades." Bianca said as she introduced herself to Annabeth. She smiled at Annabeth and sat down beside her. Then she started chatting with Annabeth. Then a few minutes later, Thalia joined in with their conversation. Once Thalia was focused with their conversation, I stared at her freely. I was staring at her hair and eyes. She has beautiful blue eyes that sent electric shocks all over me. Someone whispered in my ear snapping me out of my thought.

"She's in love with you." I turned and saw Percy leaning close to me, which made me believe he was the one who whispered in my ear. I was confused, wondering what he was talking about. Then realization dawned on me. Once I realized that he was talking about Thalia, I got angry because Percy suddenly whispered to me. What if Thalia wasn't really that in to their conversation and she'd overheard it? What if she got the wrong idea? Then I grinned at Percy and then only now that finally did it sink that she loves me! GODS! She loves ME! Haha! I was laughing my head off. But of course, I was only laughing inside my head. I would look like a lunatic if I suddenly laugh for no reason. I turned away from Percy and turned thoughtful. I have to find the BEST way to ask Thalia out.

*Thalia's POV* A/N: (wow, im having so many an in this chap) Thalia and Annabeth's OOC here, kay?

The bell rang. Aw… lunch is done? I thought. Annabeth, Bianca and I stood up. Our next class was the same so we planned to go together. Before we left, I took a last look at Nico, with that shaggy, messy black hair and intense dark brown eyes, he looked very handsome. We first went to our lockers and took our things. After that, we went straight to the classroom. I was still thinking about Nico as we sat in our sits when Bianca suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

"Thalia, you like my brother Nico right?" She asked. I blushed furiously and Annabeth giggled.

"What? Of course not! I mean… you know… ugh! It's just-no, I mean, I don't!" I said stuttering. I'd bet a million to one that I was as red as a tomato. UGH, I'm so obvious.I thought. I bet she and Annabeth knows I'm lying.

"Oh… okay." Annabeth was the one who replied. Whew… so close.

"YEAH RIGHT! You soooo like him!" She laughed. I spoke too soon.

"Yeah! Annabeth is right. It's so obvious you like him." Bianca said, laughing like Annabeth. "Just by thinking of the way he looks like you're made for him. I mean, his hair, his clothes and his attitude, you guys are made for each other! You two are like punkish/emo or something." Really? Emo, huh? I wonder what Nico will think if he heard this. ARGH! Why am I even thinking about this?

"What!" I said, raising an octave.

"Thalia, YOU told ME before that he has awesome hair, hot body, intense and beautiful eyes and all that. So you have no excuse and I mean NONE at all to say you don't like him." Annabeth explained. I blinked. Wow, I'm so stupid. I guess I did tell her that. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

"I didn't expect the word 'hot' to come out of Thalia's mouth." Bianca and Annabeth laughed.

"Okay FINE! Maybe I do like him." I admitted.

"Maybe?" Bianca asked, smiling.

"Yes!"

"Oh really?"
"Really!"

"Are you sure?" Annabeth asked, joining us.

"YES!"

"Are you really sure?"

"Ye-o…" My voice faltered.

"What?" Annabeth and Bianca asked together.

"Okay! FINE! I DO LIKE HIM! A LOT!" They were shocked first because of my outburst then they burst out laughing. Yeah, I do love him. I thought before laughing with them.

*Nico's POV**Three weeks later* A/N: (Okay, you guys might be thinking, why not just place ALL the A/N's before or after the story. Well, because the A/N would be near the part that I was describing in that A/N. Gets? No? Whatever XD) Okay, so, the day Percy and Annabeth broke up is the day Nico asked Thalia out.

FAIL! IT'S BEEN WEEKS SINCE I LEARNED THALIA LIKES ME AND I STILL HAVEN'T ASKED HER OUT YET! THIS IS IT! I'm asking her out later.

*Nico's POV**Dismissal*

As the dismissal bell rang, I went to the classroom where Thalia is supposed to have her last class. As I saw her go out the door, heads down and staring intently in some book. I shouted her name to catch her name.

"Thalia!" She turned to me. I smiled at her she smiled back with a little blush on her cheeks. So cute.

"Hey Nico." She said.

"Hi! Uhm… would you-*cough*-would y-*clears throat*-would you like to you know…" I stuttered. Gods I was so nervous! Thalia was staring at me, confused with an eyebrow raised. GODS! I CAN'T think properly! WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO BE SO CUTE! Think fast GENIUS! OR ELSE SHE'LL THINK THAT YOU'RE CRAZY AND SHE'LL GET TURNED OFF BY IT!My mind shouted at me. I took a deep breath and said "I mean, would you like to go out with me this Friday?" She was surprised but then she smiled at me.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." She said. I was so relieved that I hugged her. Then I suddenly realized what I just did. I pulled back, blushing furiously. I saw Thalia and she had the same expression and blush as me.

"Oh my gods! I'm so sorry!" I apologized.

"Uh… It's okay." She smiled at me, while her blushed subsided.

"Uhm, thanks. So you want me to walk you home?" I asked.

"I'd love that." She grinned at me. I took her hand and thank gods, she didn't pull back. When we got to her house, we were laughing like crazy because she told a story about her that was very embarrassing. She really is fun to be with. I guess that's one of the reasons why I love her.

"Oh, this is my stop." She said. "Thanks for walking me home, Dead Dude."

"It's my pleasure, Punk Gal." I replied, laughing at our new found nickname. Thalia joined in. (Sorry if the nicknames were awful, I'm not good with nicknames XD)

"Nice nickname, I like it." She said.

"I agree." I said. "Oh, wear something formal for our date and our date is on Friday. I'll pick you up here at 5." I winked at her. She laughed while she blushed. GODS! She's so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off of here! Oh! SHE'S ABOUT TO LOOK! QUICK! TURN AWAY! We might have an awkward staring session!I looked at the floor for awhile. Somehow, I think I'm weird talking to myself like this... weird.

"So, I guess I'll be going then." I said.

"Okay, thanks again. And take care walking home." She smiled at me.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And I'm not walking home." I was amused that she thought I'd be walking home.

"Huh?" She looked confused, then suddenly. "Oh! You're going to shadow travel!" She laughed. "How stupid of me?" I laughed with her.

"You're not stupid." I smiled at, causing her to blush.s

"So see you tomorrow?" I asked her.

"Yeah, see you."

WIII! SO? Was it nice? I hope you guys liked it! Please review! And how were the nicknames? AND how do you guys want Thalia and Nico's date goes? Anyway, g2g, so sleepy. PEACE OUT!

REVISED: *sigh* Nico's so awesome... Yeah... So true... OKAY! I'm talking to myself. Bye bye! :D
