Demigods are Goode

Chapter Eight

Demigod House

Nico POV

I did not enjoy the party. There was a bright light, some loud music, and everybody dancing. I stood in a dark corner and drank some punch, which didn't taste bad.

After the party, the Stolls made a 'surprise' announcement that they took photos of everyone. Leo helped them connect his camera to our TV, and he showed us some photos. First, there was me, eating punch in the darkest corner. Then there were a few more, then there was Thalia spilling a punch. I noticed two people in the background.

"Leo, zoom in there." I pointed at the background. He zoomed in, and Percy was kissing Jessica. "It was a dare. Lauren dared me," Percy said in his defense. "What?" he asked when we all looked at him. "Leo, next photo," I said. The next photo was Annabeth talking to Jack and smiling. Percy looked nonchalant.

"Looks like Prissy over there doesn't care," said Clarisse. "I do care about Annabeth. I don't mind her making friends with other guys," said Percy. Wow, lots of drama! So fun! How was my attempt at being sarcastic?

Then, at that moment, Annabeth came down. "Hi," she said, and sat down next to Percy. "So what are we doing now?" she asked, and we told her. She told us to start from the beginning, and Percy whispered to Annabeth "I love you, Wise Girl." Boring, and I don't like like Percy, if you are wondering.

Piper POV

Oh gods, please, please stop Annabeth going 'I hate you' on Percy, it's going to stress everyone out, please noooooo. Leo started showing us photos again, and we all laughed at the ones that were really funny, like Jason getting electrified while eating punch.

Thank the gods, Leo skipped Percy's, and we all relaxed. Jason looked at Leo and asked "Did you skip one?" and Percy looked like he could kill. I looked at Jason, but he looked honestly confused. Leo said 'no', and we were saved from World War III. We finished, and we went to our rooms.

The next day

Piper POV

The next day, we had a surprise waiting for us at Goode, though we didn't know back then. We walked to school, then we saw a certain leader of a certain camp which Jason came from. If you guessed Reyna, congrats! (Sarcasm here)

But this time we all welcomed her, except Percy, who looked like he wanted to welcome her, but couldn't. He, just like the rest of us, was happy she came, but he looked like he was kind of mad at himself, probably because he was mad at her. I, using charmspeak (which probably wasn't fair) asked him what the problem was.

"Octavian. Maybe Reyna could have stopped him. Then I know that that couldn't happen, and I'm angry at myself for blaming her," he answered, and I could relate to that. I comforted him, and I commented that he looked like the weight of the sky was lifted off his shoulders. He chuckled and said "I know how that feels."

I didn't understand at first, but I realized he probably had actually done it. Wow, never imagined that was possible.

The rest of the day was boring, so was the rest of the week, and so was the rest of the school year. Goode was good, and the Stolls played pranks on everyone.

Author's note: Sorry guys, I have to end this here. I'm going to work on another story. -Phoenix
