I was furious. I wake up, in the infirmary, from a dream about Rev. I watched him, in the past I'm assuming, put a spell, a love spell on me. What the Hades? It got worse. Apparently, he had been seeing some other girl. He had been cheating on me with a Girl! He never even liked me from the beginning. Although, the spell does explain why I suddenly had feelings for him for the first time when he asked me out.
I hopped out of the bed stormed out of the infirmary, despite my siblings' protests. I noticed that it was the middle of the afternoon, most likely the day after the campfire. I saw that Rev had been waiting outside.
"Hey Will! They wouldn't let me in and- OW!" I slapped him across his face. He held his cheek.
"WHY REV? WHY WOULD YOU PUT A FREAKING LOVE SPELL ON ME?" I yelled. Then in a deadly calm and low voice I said, "For a whole year you took advantage of me. We are officially over."
With that, I gave him my back and stormed off towards the Hades cabin, but as I walked he yelled after me.
"Just try and find someone as good as me. I'm irreplaceable!"
Nico
I awoke to knocking. I groaned quietly and tried ignoring it, but Nala had other plans. I heard her quietly get out of bed and walk to the door. It creaked open. I stayed lying down.
"Hey." Will's voice. "Can I come in?"
"Sure." Nala held the door open. "Just be quiet so you don't wake Nico." She told him softly. I made a split second decision and pretend to still be asleep. I heard footsteps. Then I heard the door close. Then a creak. Will must have sat on a bed. I heard, who I guessed was Nala, retrieve something from her bedside table. Another creak. She had sat down. Will's voice again, but quieter.
"I didn't know that you wore glasses."
Apparently, she had grabbed glasses.
"I was wearing contacts before. When Nico and I went to my house for the books, I got some other essentials, like toiletries and cloths and stuff. Also, my glasses." Nala explained.
"Oh. Well, I was hoping to talk to Nico but..."
"You can talk to me. I mean- if you want. If it's a private thing-"
"No. It's okay. It's just... Rev... I broke up with him." I almost broke my cover and jumped up and down for joy. I settled for a microscopic smile.
"You did?!" Nala asked happily, until she remembered herself and quickly covered it up by asking again in a concerned tone. "I mean,you did?"
"Yeah." Will confirmed. "You seem happy about that."
"No, it's just... you two didn't seem... right together I guess. I should know. Aphrodite's powers."
"Oh. Well, he had put a spell on me. I guess it broke. He was also cheating on me with some girl." I want to punch Rev and that girl in the face. "Anyway, I just wanted to talk to Nico, but since he's asleep I can't."
"I get it." Nala said. "Well, you should be heading to breakfast. I'll wake up mister sleepy-pants. We'll see you later. Promise."
It sounded like she was pushing him out of the door.
"Um... o-okay. Bye-" he stuttered. The door slammed closed.
"You can stop pretending Nico. I know you're awake." Nala told me after waiting a few seconds to make sure Will had gone. I sat up.
"How'd you know? I thought I was doing a good job. Will bought it."
"Well, I'm not gullible. Also, I could hear you groan when Will knocked."
"Oh."
"So, they broke up."
"I heard." We both broke into huge grins and started jumping around the cabin yelling things like, 'we did it!' or, 'We won!'
We did that for about a minute before I fell backwards on the bed complaining that my face hurt.
"Well, if you smiled more, maybe you'd get used to it. Although, it's gotten better right? In The Blood of Olympus your face hurt from smiling once, not even for two seconds."
"The what of huh?" I asked.
"One of the books. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. I forgot."
We then got ready for the rest of the day.
At the campfire that night, Chiron announced that we would continue the karaoke night.
A lot of people went up. Including Percy, Jason, and Leo, who danced to a song called Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae) by Silenió. It was very entertaining. Especially the fact that Percy and Jason crashed into each other during the Superman. I enjoyed my front row seat.
Finally, when Leo said that only one more song would be sung, Will walked up to the stage and took the microphone. He put the song he would sing into the karaoke machine.
"This is for you Rev. I'm singing Irreplaceable by Beyoncé." He said.
"To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff, yes
If I bought it please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time?
And it's my name that is on that tag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool, talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby"
Will winked at me. I felt my cheeks heat up.
"You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
And call up that chick and see if she's home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?"
Rev looked surprised. Will must have not told him. That line fit perfectly.
"Because you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby drop them keys
Hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool, talking about
How I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby"
Will was flat out glaring at Rev now.
"You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I'll have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing, nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you, I won't lose a wink of sleep
'Cause the truth of the matter is replacing you is so easy
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
To the left, to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
To the left, to the left
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking, baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute
You could pack all your bags, we're finished
'Cause you made your bed, now lay in it
I can have another you by tomorrow
Don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable."
For a second, everyone was silent. Then, an voice, it sounded like Cecil's, yelled out,
"YOU NEED SOME ICE FOR THAT BURN REV?" Everyone started cracking up. They also called out comments similar to that. I had a huge smile on my face. Will still had one more thing to say.
"Hey Rev, can I ask you to promise me something? This other girl that you're with, treat her right would you? Don't treat her how you treated me. Like trash. I'm done Leo." Will handed the microphone back to Leo and took a seat next to me. I was far away from Rev, who was in the back row.
Chiron then clopped up to the front.
"Now," he said, "it is time to talk about a matter put off for far to long. The prophecy."
