Xanthe

Thalia's P.O.V

"Did you hear the news?" Annabeth said running to me as I practiced with my bow and arrow.

"Is Annie now a gossip chick?" I teased putting away my weapons.

"Very funny. Anyway, remember the girl, Xanthe from California?"

"Yeah what about her?"

"She got claimed last night."

"By who?"

"Demeter."

I smirked proud, "Grover owes me 10 dachramas."

"How did you know she'd be a daughter of Demeter?" Annabeth asked.

"And here I thought you were the smart one," I snorted, "her name means goddess of corn and who is the goddess of agriculture? Demeter."

"Oh."

"Kelp Head is rubbing off you. I must save you from him."

"Very funny," Annabeth rolled her eyes before grabbing my wrist and pulling me out of the arena.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"Your cabin. Long time since we hanged," she replied.

As we went to my cabin, I glanced over the Hades cabin to see Nico and Xanthe on the porch talking. Xanthe had golden blond hair that reached her shoulders and brown honey eyes and she had slight tan. She was wearing the camp's t-shirt and a white tennis skirt with orange sneakers. She said something and Nico laughed which made me tiny jealous. I must have pulled a sour face because Annabeth spoke up.

"They're just friends. I'm sure of it. Nico would never hurt you," she reassured me. I relaxed a bit because Annabeth treated Nico like a little brother.

"You're right," I said entering my cabin behind me Annabeth.

"Like always," she added. I waved my hand dismissively as I turned on the music.

We talked for a while about our boyfriends (Nico and Percy), other people's relationships (Jason and Piper, Katie and Travis etc) and how Annabeth suspected that Leo could be dating Reyna due to the fact they keep on sending letters to each other (A/N: Just mentioned Letters Of Leyna :P), how much we wished Mr.D's punishment would be over soon (which is likely not) and other stuff. Yep, we're talkative.

"I better go. I promised Piper and Hazel I'd go shopping with them to buy a dress for the ball New Rome is having. By the way, are you going? Greeks and Romans are invited," Annabeth asked.

"If Nico asks me to go with him then yeah I guess," I shrugged.

"Oh okay. You sure you don't wanna come shopping with us?"

I scrunched my nose, "You're kidding right?"

Annabeth laughed and walked out of my cabin, waving goodbye and closed the door after her. I lied on my bed and stared at the ceiling for twenty-seven minutes into space. Man, was I bored or what? I decided to go hang with Nico. He wouldn't mind.

I went out of my cabin and entered Nico's cabin to see Nico eating McDonald's with Xanthe.

"Hey Thalia!" Nico grinned. Xanthe looked up and glared at me.

"Isn't it my sweet cute boyfriend?" I said bending down and giving Nico a kiss then smiled sweetly at Xanthe who had a sour face on.

Nico chuckled, "what's with the sudden love pinecone face?"

"Nothing, but you just lost the sudden love," I teased sitting down beside him, "you're eating McDonald's without me? Hmph. No more kisses for today mister."

"We didn't know you we're coming," Xanthe said giving me a fake smile.

"Besides I can get my kissed one way or another," Nico said. He quickly slammed his lips on mine and I naturally reacted my kissing him back.

We heard a cough. I would have ignored it, but Nico pulled away.

"Sorry about that Xanthe," Nico apologized.

I saw Xanthe looking uncomfortable and disgusted at the same time.

"Anyway Nico, the main reason I came here is to see if you wanna hang later on today," I told him.

Nico bit his lip. "Sorry, but I promised Xanthe we'd hang for the rest of the day."

Out of the corner of my eye, I was Xanthe smirking.

"Oh I see. Sorry for interrupting. I didn't mean any harm. I guess I'll leave you guys alone," I said embarrassed yet hurt. I stood up about to leave.

"Thalia we can hang tomorrow?"

"Sorry but tomorrow I'm hanging with Leo," I said. I didn't know why I lied, but I was so mad. Nico clenched his fist.

"You're hanging with Leo? Leo Valdez?"

"Yes. So? You can hang with a girl while I can't hang with a boy?" I snapped.

"That's not what I meant!"

"Save it di Angelo," I scowled before stomping out of his cabin.

Stupid Xanthe.

I was in the woods practicing my archery when I heard footsteps behind me. Turning on my heel, I shot an arrow at the newcomer out of instinct. Luckily, the arrow hit the tree next to the person. Sadly, the person was none other than Nico Di Angelo, my 'so called boyfriend'.

"What do you want? Aren't you supposed to be hanging with Xanthe?" I spat, not lowering my bow.

"I canceled with her after one of the Aphrodite girls warned me that Xanthe had a huge crush on me. I honestly didn't know," he explained.

"That's why we say you boys are clueless," I said stuffing my hands into my pocket after putting away my bow.

"So we're good?"

"I guess, but you're still not getting any kisses today Death Breath."

Nico smirked. Next thing I knew, I was pinned to tree and being kissed by Nico.

What did I do?

Hit him? No.

Choke him? No.

Slap him? No.

Hurt him in anyway? Nope.

Instead I kissed back.
