Day 7:

Today was another free day. Since the boys had a show yesterday and they have one tomorrow, they were allowed to sleep in all day. While Percy slept till noon, I went down the gym and did some workouts with Leo and Nico. Granted, I actually wanted to be alone and chill. But they were already down there, so why not. I barely talk to them, since I'm always with Percy.

When I got down there, Leo was bench pressing Nico, who was counting it out for him. I went over to them, putting my hands on my hips. "What are you two doing?" I asked with an amused look.

"Working out." Nico said. "I'm a dumbbell."

"Yeah." Leo said, bring Nico down. Nico put his feet on the ground, then pulled Leo into a sitting position. "What about you, Princess?"

"I came to work out. I've been locked up in that room for so long." I said.

"Well, the baby section is that way."

"Excuse me Valdez?"

"For weaklings, Chase."

"Nico, how much do you weigh?" I asked.

"136."

"Damn your light." I muttered.

"I bench 150-175, Leo." I said.

"Show me."

"Alright." I took Leo's place on the bench, strapping on my workout gloves. "Evenly distribute 85 pounds on both sides of the dumbbell please. It will add to 170 lbs."

"You need to get to ten." Leo said as he loaded up the dumbbell.

"Twenty bucks say I can get to twenty." I said.

"Double that says you won't make it past five."

Jokes on Leo. His rude comments fueled my fire, and I got to fifty before stopping. I looked st the two expectantly. Leo looked shocked while Nico looked impressed. "This is why I don't bet." Nico pointed out.

"But how? Your so tiny and bony and so small and frail."

"She's full of surprises." Nico said. "Right, Annabeth?"

"Right..." I got up, picking up my phone and bag. "I'll be at the treadmill."

"Running from your problems?" Nico asked.

"I don't have problems, di Angelo." I called over my shoulder. I put my headphones in, turning the music up loud. I turned on the treadmill, putting it on a fast walking setting. I'd gotten through six songs before Nico came over, turning my volume down.

"Is there an issue, Nico?" I asked.

"I know your secret, Chase."

"I don't have a secret."

"I saw it with my own eyes, Annabeth."

"Saw what?"

He stopped my treadmill, holding his phone in front of my face. There was a video of me, from about five days ago. When I was on the phone with my boss. I paled slightly as I watched the video. "Oh." I said quietly.

"You lied to us." Nicos spat. "You were probably just using Percy. Just so you could learn all the terrible shit that's happened in his life, in ours, and put it out there for the world!"

"Nico, stop." I said. "Okay, so yes, I lied. But please, trust me when I say that I wasn't going to put anything in there without your permission. I even stop writing yours cause I know you would want me to blab about what happened a few years ago. And I promise, I was—am going to tell you guys. Just trust me, please?"

"You've been lying for a month now, maybe more. How can I trust you?"

"Please Nico. I don't want to ruin their vacation, so I was going to tell them when we got back to New York." I said.

"You tell them, or I will." Nico threatened.

"Would you like to help me write it, since you know? You know, tell me what I can and can't put in."

"You'd really let me do that? Aren't you all about 'getting the scoop'?"

"I just want to do my job, which was write a review about the band on the rise. I have me things I'd rather not let the whole country know, and I'm sure you do too."

"Well...yeah." Nico said, smiling. I've never seen Nico smile before.

"Okay. Only thing is it's on my laptop and tablet, not my phone. My phone isn't on the same Apple ID as the other things."

"You have three apple devices. That is the definition of rich kid problems."

"I am not a rich kid." I stated. "Remember, I'm unemployed, and have no support from my parents."

"I don't believe that for one second." Nico pointed out.

"I've had a job since I was fourteen. Before I left home, my Dad gave me a phone. The only nice thing he ever does is pay the bill. I stayed with Piper until last year, when I moved out. I got my laptop from work and my iPad was a gift from my ex, who told me to keep it even after we broke up."

"Who was that? I want to date someone who buys me an iPad. And then says I can keep it."

I shrugged, turning my treadmill back on. "He felt bad. He was a dick, who cheated and all that. So he let me keep it. You wouldn't want to date a dick."

"Why would I?"

"Cause you need some sunshine, Death Boy. Always so depressed. You'd need someone to cancel you out. Like how I'm organized and studious, I need someone relaxed, messy, wild. All that."

"Percy." Nico stated, and I nodded. "You know Annabeth, I recently learned how much of a whore you are."

"I am not a whore." I scoffed.

"Percy Jackson's Secret Blonde Whore, no offense to you."

"I wouldn't say it's a secret. And like I say all the time, we aren't fucking."

"You were so close though."

Changing the topic, I said, "How's it going with Will?"

"Will? What'd you mean?"

"It'd obvious you like him. You should confront him. You'd be a cute couple." I said.

"What? No? I don't—I'd never—I can't." Nico stuttered.

"He might not even be gay." Nico whispered.

"You know, I, female Annabeth, could find out for you." I said. "You know, get my flirt on. If he flirts back, he is straight."

"I don't even like him!" Nico whispered harshly.

"But would be happy if I found out?" Nico begrudgingly nodded. I smiled, turning off the treadmill and climbing off.

"Lucky you, he's coming in right now." I said. "Watch my machine and phone, buddy."

I got off, walking over to the entrance where Will Solace was walking in. I waved at him and he smiled walking over to me. "Hey Annabeth, haven't seen you here." Will said.

"You know, Percy's sleeping in my room so I decided to work out." I said, shrugging.

"What've you done so far? No offense, but your kinda really sweaty." Will said.

"Did some weight lifting, ran for a whole. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"So, I have a friend who wants to know if your interested."

"Who might this friend be? Cause I know your only single friends are Thalia and Nico. Unless someone wants to cheat with me. Then I am definitely not interested."

"Who'd you be interested in? Then I'll tell you."

"Well there both kinds the same person."

"So you'd consider Nico? As in, romantically involved?"

"Annabeth, did Nico send you over here?"

"What? No." I lied, nodding my head.

Will smiled, looking over my shoulder at probably Nico. "So Nico's interested?" he asked with a sly smile.

"He keeps denying it, but trust me, he is." I said. "You should go talk to him!"

"What? Me? Him? No." Will stuttered, blushing slightly.

I smirked, turning on my heels and heading back to Nico—and my stuff.

A/N: Short, boring, I know. But hey, at least we had a little revelation, Nico knows about her secret now. What'd you think of that? What's gonna happen next chapter? Well, I know. But you don't. I know you'll love it. Who wouldn't? There are two major climactic plot chapters coming. One is next chapter. Can you guess what it is? Probably not. Anyway.
