Hi guys! So, since only one person (a guest) reviewed on how Bianca died, I guess I'll go with their decision! So, Bianca died in a car crash. I probably would've chosen that over suicide (because that is so sad) anyway, but I really want to thank you all for your reviews!

Nico's revenge is present in this chapter. And I think I might post another chapter later on tonight. So, keep on the lookout!

This week might be a little crazy with updates because I've got midterms, but I'll still try and update!

Enjoy!

Twenty (Percy):

"It's approved, guys." Thalia says as she walks into mine and Nico's room. "I went to the headmaster's office and asked him if we could have a private concert tonight for students who go to this school to raise money to pay our manager and apparently, our new stylist."

"So Ariella's our new stylist?" Nico asks her.

"Yeah," she sighs. "But that's not the only thing that involves her."

"What do you mean?" I question Thalia.

"Since Ariella lied about some weird condition that she 'has', she's failing Mrs. Carson's class. In order for her to at least get a D this semester, Mrs. Carson is making her sing at our concert." She explains.

"But Ariella has a fear of singing in public," Nico says.

"Well, she'll have to get over that if she wants to pass," I tell him.

"Wait! Guys, I've got an idea." Nico smirks. "Okay, so you know how much I hate that kid, Zach?"

"Yeah," I nod.

"I figured out the perfect way to get back at him!"

"I thought you did that already… You know, by singing him that song," Thalia informs him.

"No. That was getting back at him for forgetting his sister's birthday and trash talking Bianca. Now, I've got to get him back for laughing at me."

"A decent person right now would say not to fight fire with fire, but none of us are necessarily decent…" I think about it.

"So, what's your plan?" Thalia asks him.

"Well, he's only dating Cassia because of a dare and he has to continue dating her until she starts to like him, which means that he can't dump her. But, the rules never said that Cassia can't dump him or that I can't tell her…"

"Can you simple this down?" I cock my head at him. "I don't feel like thinking."

"I tell Cassia that Zach's only dating her for a dare. Then, at our charity concert, we'll ask them to sing as our opening act with Ariella. Cassia and Zach will write a song that Zach will think they're singing, but then Cassia will start singing a different song. Zach will look like a fool and everyone's happy." Nico explains. "Oh, and I sing a song to get back at him too."

"Why don't you just punch him and get it over with?" I demand. "Why does everything have to be about music these days?"

"Percy, we're in a band," Thalia looks at me as if I'm crazy.

"Right…" I nod slowly.

"So, you guys in?" Nico asks.

"Totally," Thalia grins.

"Good, so I'll go talk to Cassia to tell her what happened, Thalia can go talk to Zach and say that we want him and Cassia to perform at our concert, and Nico can talk to Ariella to make sure she's okay performing on our stage and to get outfits for us. Alright?" I confirm.

"It's go time."

I knock slowly on the door of Cassia and Ariella's room and then I walk in. "Did someone give you permission to enter?" Cassia demands, not even bothering to look up from the book she's reading.

"I gave myself permission. Isn't that enough?" I try and act tough. It doesn't really work though because she gets up and gives me a weird look.

"Aren't you supposed to be the nice Siren?" she asks.

"Yeah… I was trying to fight back," I answer.

"Well, what are you here for?" Cassia looks at her watch. "I've got a date in twenty minutes with Zach and I can't be late."

"Oh, but you can," I say as I sit down on her bed. "I've got a funny story for you. Well, it's actually not that funny."

"Can you make it quick then?"

"Cancel your date." I order. "You won't want to go out after hearing this."

Thalia:

I walk into Zach and Luke's room without knocking. If they were doing anything private or personal or whatever, they'd lock the door.

"What are you doing here?" Luke asks as I walk in.

"Is Zach here?" I demand.

"Yup," Zach says from the corner of the room.

"Good," I smirk. "You doing anything tonight?"

"You should know that I have a girlfriend," he tells me.

"Oh… Right. One that your only using so you don't look like a sissy for backing out of a dare… I've heard." I reply.

"Who told you that?" he demands.

"Hmm… I don't remember exactly," I fake think about it.

"I bet it was that scumbag of a boy that you call a cousin." Zach snaps.

"Right, thanks!" I grin. "It was Percy!"

"I was talking about Nick."

"You mean Nico," I correct him. "Yeah, he's a great guy."

"You heard my answer. I'm busy tonight. Sorry. Now I've got a date to attend," Zach tries to push past me to leave the room, but I slam the door.

"Not so fast Zach," I say as I push him back into the corner. "We've got business to discuss."

"I told you. I'm taken!" he exclaims.

"I don't want to date you. Gross." I crinkle my nose. "I said we have business to discuss. Not romance."

"Good," he exhales. "I've never had two girls fight over me before."

"Trust me, by the looks of you, it will never happen." I dare. "But, that's besides the point. How'd you like to sing at the Siren concert tonight?"

Nico:

"Hey," I say as I sit down across from Ariella at the kitchen table. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, since the last time I spoke to you which was yesterday." She answers.

"Still mad at Cassia?" I ask her.

"Yeah…"

"Don't be." I tell her. "I'll explain later. You can still be mad at Zach though. I don't like that kid…"

"He's my brother!"

"That doesn't mean anything. Everyone has enemies," I inform her. "But, this is really important."

"What is it then?" Ariella asks me.

"So, we all know your failing Mrs. Carson's class. And she just told Thalia that the only way that she'd give you at least a D for the semester is if you sing at our Siren concert tonight." I explain. "All it has to be is one song."

"But… I hate singing in front of people!" Ariella complains.

"Too bad," I tell her. "Because it's going to happen."

"When I was little, I used to want to be a singer. I wrote songs, I learned how to play the guitar, but then, I told Zach and he laughed at me. He said that I'd never get to do that. He said it was a stupid dream and that I should just get over it. That's when I became a dancer."

"Don't listen to him," I instruct her. "He knows nothing at all about music or talent. He's probably just jealous that your songs are about a thousand times better than his are… Follow your heart. Be that singer that we both know you want to be. It's easy. All you have to do is sing at our concert tonight… And design and pick out our outfits…"

"Okay," she sighs.

"Wait…" I say. "If he's so against you being a singer, why is he one?"

"I don't know," Ariella cocks her head. "I never really thought about it."

"Well, you can think about it when you design our outfits and write a song, okay?" I confirm. Yeah, I'm using her for my own benefit, but it's for the band. And eventually, for her as well. Maybe her dream of being a singer will come true one day. Maybe.
