Carly POV

After my little chat with mom I decided to just watch the sun rise…I was too anxious to sleep. Chiron would be arriving today, to bring the news on my 'execution'.

He said he'll try his best to convince the gods to stop it but it will be tricky.

I got dressed in my denim shorts, a light-green t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. I tied my hair up to its usual pony-tail and stepped out of the cabin.

I walked to the dining hall, trying to forget about my worries but I found that quite hard to do on an empty stomach. The rest of the campers had already beaten me; most of them had already started munching down on cereal and toast.

After breakfast, I decided to lounge around the strawberry fields.

I found Nico sitting on the soft grass; I realized I hadn't seen him in breakfast.

He's my best friend, and now…we kissed. I don't know what to think of it…were we a couple? Or maybe we would just kiss and forget about everything. Is our friendship ruined because of that simple kiss? No. I won't let it come to that.

I walked up to him, "So…aren't you having any breakfast?" I asked him.

"Not hungry…" he mumbled absentmindedly. I was worried…what's wrong with Nico? Is he alright?

I knelt in front of him, I looked at him straight in the eyes; those dark and intense eyes capable of showing great grief and great compassion.

"Nico…tell me what's wrong…please. I want to help." I told him gently.

Nico frowned, "You can't help Carly…you can't. I'm worried about you…I don't know what I'm going to do, what kind of friend just stands still and does nothing? I'm worthless…I-"he never got to finish his sentence; I held his shoulders and kissed him.

I let go, Nico was surprised but not as surprised as me. I can't believe I just did that. I had to admit, it did feel good. All my anger, frustration and confusion melted when my lips touched his.

"Don't you ever say that! You're brave, smart, compassionate and strong… you're the most extrodinary friend I've ever had besides Susan…nothing less. I won't have any more of this 'useless' talk, okay?" I told him, Nico looked at me, for a second, I thought he was going to leave me kneeling on the grass, confused after the kiss, but he just smiled.

He placed his hand on my cheek, leaned forward and kissed me, he withdrew and looked at me, "Okay." he replied.

Tiny sparks were flying in my head, popping and whirling like mad.

I was so happy and yet I was so utterly bewildered; what's happening? Me and Nico had shared 3 kisses…what am I to do? Are we still going to keep our 'friend' status? Or are we going to officially become a 'couple'.

Nico seemed to read my mind, "You know…if you're okay with it…it can happen. I mean…only if you want to." he said, his face was turning redder by the minute.

I smiled, "First things first…are you okay with it? I mean…what do you see in me? There are so many other girls out there…I'm just a needle in a haystack." I asked.

Nico smiled, "True…but they're not you. I like you Carly…since I first saw you. You're just…amazing. So the answer is, yes." he replied. I smiled, "Yes." I answered back.

Nico gazed at my face, he swept a strand of hair, he placed one hand on my cheek, and he leaned forward and kissed me.

It wasn't like the previous kisses.

Instead of sparks, I felt like there were fireworks exploding in my head. I ran one hand through his hair and the other one on his face.

I used to think kissing was gross and mushy…I still do. But now, it was endearingly gross and mushy.

We withdrew, Nico cleared his throat. "I think we should check on Chiron." he said. He gave me a sly smile and offered his hand.

I willingly took it and together, as a couple, we walked towards Chiron's cabin.
