A/N: Sorry that I've MIA here's the next chapter! And why not review too! Oh and thanks for sticking out this long so Read On!
Narrator:
Percy and Nico did tell Thalia, but they only showed her the last bit of the tape. After, they did both boys felt awful seeing the look on her face, like betrayal… Gods know that her past wasn't the prettiest and having someone doing this to her was just adding to her sucky history. But, she did rage out on Luke the next day, not even his charisma could save him this time. Thalia became harsher after that, but she succesenfully got her application out at the last minute and took her SATs. Thalia opened those with Annabeth and screamed, there was crying and hugging and F yeses, because Thalia scored 1450, she was so proud of herself. Anyway, Percy and Calypso were getting a little more apart by the day, and Piper and Jason were still always on each other. Rachel still had no boyfriend, and was getting more invested in her art career. Annabeth was still getting closer to Percy and stressed about college. While, Grover and Juniper had announced they're both going to move in together after high school. Nico was trying to get closer to Thalia and was failing, while avoiding Luke and his minions. And lastly Leo was just being his crazy self, kissing every girl he saw on Valentine's Day and getting a hit to the cheek every time. Now it was March 28 and Spring Break was coming up, along with college acceptances around the corner.
Percy's POV:
Percy's jaw dropped as Calypso asked him that.
"E-Eu-rope?" Percy said trying to grasp the concept, Calypso hugged him and squealed.
"Yeah Percy! Think of it, you and me in Europe together with my parents all of spring break, it's gonna be amazing!" Calypso said her eyes sparkling. Yeah amazing… Percy thought. It's not that he didn't want to go, he was just afraid to, plus he planned to spend spring break with his friends.
"Um… I'm gonna have to ask my mom." Percy mumbled scratching his head. Calypso beamed, and kissed Percy.
"Yay! We're going to have so much fun together, I've always wanted to go to Europe and to know I'm going with you is a thousand times better! We have to go to Rome, Athens, and ooo Paris, with the Eiffel Tower…" Calypso rambled, but Percy was half listening, he felt guilty about it all, one thing Calypso was paying for his trip as a post Valentine's Day gift, and he definitely wasn't excited as her, but he didn't know why. Was he not allowed to go and still date her? No, there wasn't besides, this might help them be closer again and normal. Percy sighed accidently and Calypso looked at him curiosly.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing." Percy smiled.
"No I can tell, do you not want to go or something?" Calypso looked hurt, Percy always did the wrong thing when Calypso was like this, one thing could make her cry or make her rage.
"No! Uh I mean, its just we're in high school, and taking this huge trip is a little scary to me." Percy said, stumbling on his words, Calypso's face softened.
"Aw, your so cute when your lying, C'mon Percy nothing scares you." She playfully punched him.
"Yeah." Percy laughed, but he was lying. Percy guessed he was going one way or another.
THALIA'S POV:
Thalia briskly walked down the hall, ignoring all the people who moved out of her way. Yup, she went from basically not that made fun of to slut to scary girl. Did she care, not the least, she was to scared clutching the four envelopes in her bag. They all held her college acceptance letters. Now, she needed to find her best friend, Annabeth. She helped her ace the SAT's and was there when she opened them and taught her how to fill out an application, Thalia needed to open them with her more than anyone. She stopped by the library, no Annabeth. Thalia looked all around the school and the blonde girl was nowhere, but after a while of going threw the hallways she ran into Nico, literally.
"Ouch watch where your- oh sorry, hey Thalia." Nico stuttered, Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Hey Nico, have you see Annabeth?" Thalia asked flatly.
"Nope, I haven't seen her today." Nico said apologetically.
"Oh." Thalia said glancing toward the letters.
"Why are you looking for Annabeth?" Nico asked leaning against a locker, Thalia sighed.
"I wanted to open my acceptance letters with her."
Nico smiled, "Well open them."
"But-"
"Do you want to open them?" Nico asked a bit annoyed.
"Yeah." Thalia said in the same tone as Nico.
"Then just open them and you'll tell her when you see her." Nico said.
"Well it does make a little sense." Thalia said not wanted to admit Nico may be right.
"Plus it's the end of the day, just do it." Nico said Thalia sighed and grabbed the first letter.
"Brown." Thalia took a shaky breath, snd ripped open the letter, "Ms. Grace blah… blah blah… our Admissions Committee has concluded that we are unable to offer you acceptance to the university- Dammit!" Thalia threw the letter to the ground, Nico poke her, she looked up at him mad.
"It's okay Thals, you wouldn't of liked Rhode Island anyway, to small, no fun." Nico said. (A/N: No offense to Rhode Island blame Nico J) Thalia sighed and mentally agreed with Nico somewhat. She decided to not open the colleges she wanted to get into last.
"Okay next Syracuse." Thalia held her breath and ripped open the letter.
"Dear Thalia Grace, thank you for submitting… blah blah… We're sorry that we are not able to offer you a place in next fall's incoming class. We know that you invested much time and energy in your application, and we regret that this outcome is not different, lies that's BS! I just…just ugh…" Thalia sighed, she was getting sadder each letter.
"Oh well…" Nico said plainly, at least he wasn't faking a that's alright.
"Yeah." Thalia sighed, only to letters left, "Okay Vassar." Thalia said crossing her fingers. She slowly ripped the envelope and took out the letter like a last resort, "Dear Ms. Thalia Grace, haha fancy, we are sorry to inform you..." Thalia began to tear up that's it, it's all over she thought. What's the point in opening the last letter it's Ivy League school Dartmouth a 9.8 acceptance rate she's toast.
"Thalia come on there's one more letter, yo-"
"No Nico, Luke was right people like me don't get into college." Thalia said and she ripped up the last letter, and kicked the lockers, however Nico picked up the ruined letter.
"This goes here and this here and these together ah there, hmm... Oh um Thalia I think you might want to read this." Nico smiled Thalia looked over his shoulder.
"Dear Thalia, Congradulations! On behalf of the faculty and staff of Dartmouth college, it is with great pleasure that I inform you of your admission to Dartmouth as a member of the fall class of 2013- Nico I'm in! I'm in!" Thalia broke out into a smile.
"Your in!" Nico repeated.
"I'm in, f*** yeah!" Thalia hugged Nico and he picked her up and spun her around. Thalia had no dad or brother growing up, she was basically broke who had a mom who died when she was 13 because she binge drinked, she basically lived on her own for 4 years, and now it all payed off.
"I'm so f****** happy, screw Brown and Vasser and Syracuse, I get to go to Dartmouth!" Thalia teared up she was to overwhelmed, Nico put her down and stared at her. She smiled and so did he.
"Congrats Thals, you deserve it, though I feel bad for your roommate, she's gonna have to love with you! And the professors might quit!" Nico said jokingly.
"Oh Shut up Dead boy!" Thalia stuck her tongue out.
"You shut up!" Nico said and stuck his tongue out.
"Childish."
"Annoying."
"Whatever." Thalia rolled her eyes, and looked at Nico again, she forgot to say something she should have said last month, "By the way, thanks and sorry." Thalia said now looked back to the acceptance letter.
"What do you mean?" Nico said with a smirk he knew what she meant.
"C'mon your such a jerk your gonna make me say it?" Thalia asked and Nico nodded, Thalia grumbled, "Thank you for telling me about Luke, and sorry for yelling at you." Thalia said quickly, even though this was about two months due, Nico smiled.
"No need for apologies, but your welcome and I'm sorry and..." Nico didn't finish, but kept smiling.
"And what spit it out!" Thalia said.
"And..." Instead of saying something he just grabbed Thalia's shoulders and kissed her, and she kissed back for a bit until he pulled away. One thought was just wtf. He smiled like a goof. She on the other hand shoved him and started to walk away. "Sorry Got to go." She was to happy to be pissed at Nico for doing that, she headed to find Annabeth.
"Thalia wait up!" Nico yelled after her she heard his footsteps getting closer, but she walked faster and turned the corner. She didn't want to face Nico at all, but that's because she hated herself for actually liking the kiss.
Nico's POV:
Dammit! Why did he have to do that, it was stupid! He probably drove her away, ugh stupid me, Nico thought. Then he heard a noise behind him, he whipped himself around so fast he dropped his Mythomagic cards. No one was there, but Nico still felt like he was being watched. Nico bent down and picked up his cards and walked to the parking lot, still feeling stupid. All he wanted to do was just go home and stay in his room for life, ugh he's so stupid! He briskly walked through the parking lot and spotted his black ford. It was egged. All over egg yolk and a folded white note taped to the hood. Nico was pissed, because he loved his car! Nico ripped the note from the hood and unfolded the white paper slowly. Inside the note was written neatly with a calligraphy pen. It read: rimborso è in arrivo. The note was written in Italian, Nico studied it for a while, the last three words meant: is coming. Blank is coming, blank is coming. Nico wracked his brain, then he deciphered the word: payback.
