Nico's POV
Thanks Chris. I'm making sure that everybody knows that if I die it's all your fault. Well…here goes nothing.
*Finds Annabeth at the pavilion*
"Annabeth, what are you doing here?" I asked her, heart pounding.
"Oh, hey Nico." She sounded surprised that I was talking to her. "Just waiting for Percy…yes?"
I had tapped her on the shoulder.
"Please don't kill me," I said, closed my eyes, then leaned in and kissed her.
Of course, the person I was afraid of the most at the moment just happened to have arrived.
"Nico di Angelo, what in the Hades are you doing to my girlfriend?!" A familiar voice yelled. I slowly turned my head towards the source of the voice.
"O-oh, umm, h-h-hi, P-Percy. I'll get going now…"
"Nuh-uh. You stay right here little cousin," He said, glaring at me, his green eyes full of rage. "No one kisses my girlfriend, do you understand?"
"But-But, it's a dare! Blame Chris, this random person I just met… I swear! I don't like Annabeth at all! I mean, obviously I like her. Gods, no, I mean like I like her as a friend, do you know what I mean? Oh gods, Percy, it was a dare! A DARE!"
"Yeah, and I'm daring myself to do this right now," Suddenly, an invisible pair of hands formed out of water lifted me off the ground. Then, as fast as a roller coaster goes, it threw me into the canoe lake. Hard. Nymphs giggled as I blew water out of my mouth, and I glared at Percy.
He glared right back, and I gazed down, defeated. (hopefully not like a coward, but let's be honest here. It's PERCY. Who wouldn't be afraid?)
"That'll teach you a lesson," he said, putting an arm around Annabeth, who was laughing, and walked away.
