A/N: New chapter. The EOG stuff is happening on Monday so I won't update in a while. The teacher said to relax so I'm going to write as much chapters as possible 'cause (don't mean to sound cocky) I am smart so I don't need to study.

I was just practicing my sword skills. Over the weeks, Percy had taught me that I could breath underwater, bend water at will, and all that stuff. Then Annabeth runs into the arena with an envelope in her hand. I put my sword away. "Hey Annabeth, whatcha got there?" I asked, gesturing at the envelope.
Annabeth smiled," This is for you. It's from Nico. He told me to tell you to not be late." She handed the piece of paper to me. I got really excited. Nico hasn't talked to me in so long. I opened it and it said:
Dear Rose,
Sorry about what happened that night and for being stupid enough to avoid you. If you can please come to our secret place at around 8 o' clock so we can talk.
Love,
Nico
We did need to talk. I guess I could go for a bit, at least enough to patch things up. And who knows, maybe I might get a boyfriend before the end of the day. First, I needed to take a shower.
Nico
It might be corny to some of you, but I thought it was right. I just hoped I didn't sound too stupid. Got some lights to see better, the nymphs made me a little table of wood (which looked really awesome) I wasn't necessarily dressed up. I didn't want to over do it, so I just went with my usual look, except I brushed my hair this time. Anyway it was almost 8 and I was getting nervous. I kept thinking of the what-if's:
What if she didn't come? What if she was still mad at me? What if she already found someone else? That last one scared me even more. I needed to keep my head clear. I took a few deep breaths. "I can do this" I said to myself. Then I saw Rose coming from the shadows. She wasn't wearing nothing special. Just blue capris and a camp Half-Blood t-shirt. She still to my breath away.
"Hey" she said. "hey" I replied. "I guess you're wondering why I was being a jerk and all." Rose shook her head." I wasn't really sure what was going on, but a friend told me that the best thing to do, was wait for the guy to make th first move." I didn't know what to expect really. I was glad she came. She didn't look angry, either, so that was a good sign. "come on." I was really crazy, but I couldn't back down now that I was so close. We came to Zeus' Fist. There was a stage set up. I think you could guess what I was going to do next.
Yep, Nico Di Angelo was going to get his butt up there and sing. There was a crowd of people. I was hoping for just a few nymphs, but word must have spread quickly and now I saw a bunch of campers. Great, even more embarrassing. I took another deep breath. I had butterflies in my stomach. I hurried and got on the stage.
I grabbed the mic and cleared my throat."Uh, I didn't really expect a lot of people, but I'm not backing out. I'm doing this because I owe a big apology to one person. I hope she likes the song." Then the music started playing and the crowd got quiet.
Rose
I couldn't believe he was actually going to sing...for ME. That is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. When I heard the music I knew what it was about immediately.
I hung up the phone tonight Something happened for the first time Deep inside It was a rush What a rush
'Cause the possibility That you would ever feel the same way About me It's just too much Just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized So mesmerized And I've just got to know
I started walking towards the stage. I had to keep pushing people to get there, though.
Do you ever think When you're all alone All that we could be?
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath When I look at you?
Are you holding back Like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't going Away Going away
Has it ever crossed your mind When we're hanging,
Spending time, girl, are we just friends?
Is there more?
Is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take 'Cause I believe that we can make this Into something that'll last Last forever Forever
Why do I keep running from the truth?
(Why do I keep running)
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I've just got to know
I was so close to the stage now. He was looking at me. I couldn't help but smile.
Do you ever think
When your all alone
All that we could be,
Where this thing could go
Am i crazy or falling in love,
Is this real or just another crush
Do you catch a breath,
When i look at you,
Are you holding back,
Like the way i do,
Cause' i'm tryin tryin to walk away,
But i know this crush aint' going Away ya ya ya yaaa
Going away ya ya ya yaaa
Going away ya ya ya yaaa (when you're all alone All that we could be,
Where this thing could go
Going away ya ya ya yaaa
Everyone started cheering and clapping. He didn't sound bad at all. I couldn't help it, but I climbed to the stage and in front of everyone, I put my hands to his face and pulled him in for a kiss. I faintly heard the crowd whistling and yelling congrats to us. I could barely think of anything but his lips on mine. I pulled away to see his blushing face wearing a confused expression. I just laughed and hugged him.
"I love you," he whispered in my ear. I don't know how I heard it, but I said, "Me too." Maybe being 12 and saying I love you to a guy is a bit weird, but it didn't sound right to say I like like you. All I knew was that I never wanted to leave his side.
Kind of corny, huh? Well hope you like it and review and all that crap. I really like this song. If any one cares it's "Crush by David Archuleta"
