Beginning Notes
My summer holiday is almost over. *cries*
So here's more solangelo! I still don't own the characters, they belong to Rick Riordan.
Nico's POV
The bell rings, signalling lunch break. Thank the gods, history was total hell. I go to the cafeteria and claim our usual table. Not more than a minute passes before Annabeth, Percy and Grover show up.
'Did Jason tell you guys the good news?' I ask. 'What news? We haven't seen Jason today, yet,' Annabeth explains. 'Well, I think I know what it is,' Grover says. 'Look.' He points in the direction Jason is coming from. Jason is holding hands with none other than Piper McLean, best friend of the hottest guy in school. I mean, Will Solace... who is totally not that hot...
They walk over to us, and I notice why Jason got the other half of the heart tattooed on the other hand: Now the two halves make a whole above their interlocked fingers. 'Hey guys,' he says, as he sits down next to Percy. 'So, I invited Piper to have lunch with us, I hope that's not a problem.' 'Not at all,' Annabeth says.
Then Will comes too. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. He looks adorable in his oversized hoodie. And those cute little freckles on his face... Oh, I forgot how hot he was from up close. Maybe he is the hottest guy at school after all. I mentally slap myself. Stop staring! I quickly look away.
'Oh, yeah, I told Will he could sit with us,' Piper explains. 'Yeah, that's cool,' Percy says, winking at me. He and Jason are the only ones who know about my crush. Will sits down next to me. I look at him again. His gorgeous blue eyes are looking straight at me. 'Hey,' he says, and smiles. 'Hi,' I manage to say back.
Hazel, Frank, Leo, Thalia and Reyna arrive and then we're complete. 'So, who is this pretty lady,' Leo says, when he sits down next to Piper. 'Guys, this is my girlfriend Piper,' Jason explains. 'And her friend Will,' he says, motioning to Will. 'Ah man, I wish I'd meet my soulmate,' Leo says. 'You all have each other, and I have no one,' he says, and sighs. 'I haven't met my soulmate,' I say. 'Neither have I,' Will says. Huh, so Will hasn't met his soulmate yet. That doesn't mean anything, stop getting your hopes up DiAngelo.
'Besides, you could have a platonic soulmate,' Reyna says. She and Thalia high five. 'Yeah, maybe...' Leo says. 'Or they could live somewhere far away,' Grover says, probably thinking of his girlfriend Juniper. 'Hey, that most of us met pretty early doesn't mean anything. I'm sure you'll find your soulmate one day,' Frank says. 'One day,' Leo repeats to himself.
'So, has Jason already told you how he got that little scar on his lip?' Thalia ask Piper, subtlety changing the subject. 'No, I'm actually pretty curious now that you say so,' Piper says. 'Thalia!' Jason says, leaning over the table to swat her arm. 'C'mon Jase, she has it stuck on her face forever too, she deserves to know,' Reyna says. 'Yeah, well, maybe I wanted to tell her myself-' 'He tried to eat a stapler,' Thalia interrupts him. Everyone starts laughing, even those who already knew the story.
Will's POV
Lunch break was great. Usually it was only me and Piper, but now there was a whole table of people. Everyone told their stories of how they met. How first they were two friend groups, but then Thalia and Reyna found each other and everyone started hanging out together.
'Now you guys can join us in all our craziness,' Jason tells me and Piper. 'Awesome!' I say. That would mean I'd get to hang out with Nico, maybe get to know him better. Just the thought of it makes me smile.
Sadly, lunch break comes to an end, and I have to head to my next class. It's pretty hot in the classroom, so I take off my hoodie- luckily I wore a t-shirt under it- and stuff it in my bag.
...
When the teacher finishes explaining about the notes we we're supposed to take, we're allowed to start on our homework. I open my workbook, and then I notice a flower on my hand. It takes me a moment to realise that it's something my soulmate must have drawn on their hand.
I look at the clock. It's my last lesson for today, and there's still 20 minutes left. So I decide to write back. Nice flower.
Nico's POV
When I started doodling a flower on my hand, I didn't really think about the fact that my soulmate would be able to see it on their own hand too. But what I definitely didn't expect was a response: Nice flower.
My last lesson had been dropped since the teacher was sick, so I was already home. Screw homework, I wasn't even really concentrated anyway. I go sit on my bed and write: thanks, it's a lily of the valley. I can see the ink of my soulmate's response, crawling over my skin and up my arm. I take off my aviator jacket so I can read it: Is it your favourite?
No, it was my sister's favourite
That's nice, what's your favourite?
I draw an arrow pointing at the lily of the valley on my palm. I've never really thought of what my favourite flower is, but since it reminds me of Bianca, it is now officially my favourite flower. What's yours? I write back.
The response appears next to the lily of the valley. I can see the outlines of another flower being drawn. It's a tulip.
I know it's so simple compared to yours, but tulips are just really nice in my opinion.
We talk for a little while, and then I get a great idea.
Hey, what's your favourite colour tulip?
Purple
Cool :) Uhm, I gotta go. Talk to you later
Will's POV
I sigh, the lesson is still going to take ten more minutes, and it was actually very nice talking to my soumate. Then I decide to write my number down for them.
When the lesson is over, I walk to my locker. 'Hey,' someone says. I look up, or well, down, and see Leo, one of Jason's friends standing in front of me. 'Hey,' I say. 'What's it with all the ink on your arm. 'Oh, nothing,' I say, and quickly grab my hoodie out of my bag. He raises his eyebrows at me. 'Really?' 'Ok, fine. I was wondering if a sleeve tattoo would look good on me,' I say. He gives me a quizzical look, before I turn around and leave.
End Notes
Okaaay, so now they've been in contact as soulmates. What did you guys think? Let me know in the reviews. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Have a great day y'all. Byeee :)
