Crysta; I sign my own death warrant
I woke up with good news and bad news.
Good news: Will was gone. Bad news: my head was on Nico's lap.
I didn't scream so I wouldn't get Xeris into trouble.
I saw this as a perfect escape period when I heard "Don't even think about it."
"Nico, you're up early. Why?" I asked weakly.
"To keep an eye on you." Nico said.
"Oh kay?" I said.
"Will told me about that—"
"Abomination of a dream he had yesterday? Yep, I can relate. Trust me, I don't want that happening either." I said quickly.
"You really like interruptions don't you?" Nico said.
We sat in silence for about a minute.
"So, Will said I should pretend to be his "very serious girlfriend" today. What the hell does that mean?" I asked
"Of course you should know what that means. This wouldn't have happened if I was the one asking questions." Nico said
"Don't worry, you'll get your turn some other time. You know, like never?" I said sarcastically.
"Just because I don't exactly have anyone to show you off to doesn't mean you should mock me about it," Nico said
"Dude, you have TONS of people to show me off to." I said.
"I'm the only one in this cabin—"
I laughed . A lot. "Oh, wait. You're talking about just this cabin. Dark Angel, you should know that no one in this camp would ever believe you have even a HALF girlfriend. You should prove them wrong." I said.
"What do you mean?" Nico asked slyly.
"During this whole Will thing, you can barge in and steal a dance with me. All the good niggas gonna be like "whaaaaat?"" I said. And I bolted for the door to take a shower.
Then I visited Xeris's cabin. "Whats up traitor?" I asked .
"I'm really sorry," Xeris said.
"Cryxeris, how could you?" I asked.
"I was—"
"You were with Dionysus and didn't ask for any wine for me? I hate you!" I said.
"I was roasting Aphrodite! I knew you'd want that," Xeris said.
"Kay then. Guess what I have to do today." I asked .
"You have to pretend to be Will's girlfriend and Nico's dance partner?" She said.
"Worse. I have to act as Will's "serious girlfriend" and when Nico gets there I have to dance to one of the romantic songs in history. " I said.
You would think that the first part was what she said. Serious girlfriend is actually a euphemism for what I actually said.
"Eww. That guy's crazy. Which reminds me, I had the worst night ever." She said.
"Dioscuri came to town?" I asked
"Worse. Get in so I can tell you." She said and pushed me past the door.
"Perseus, our demigod of the mellinea, our hero, asked me to marry him." She said.
"Dang. That's what you think is so bad? Will Solace had a dream that I was his baby mama and Nico proposed to me."
"Shiitt. That's disgusting." Xeris said.
"Anyway, I need some clothes." I said.
"One set of "serious girlfriend" clothes coming up. Boom Zaramay, bitch!" Xeris ordered.
A set of clothes came into existence.
"This is waay too serious girlfriendly. So, okay? Or I can get something more decent—"
"Just thank God no Olympians are coming anytime soon." I said.
Boy was I wrong.
