The 50 Meetings
OMG! THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS! I was literally squealing as I read all of them. So… Thalico. A very touchy subject. So, I decided to add a twist to it so everyone could be happy on both sides. It's a completely different style of writing and it's defiantly different from my style. But hey, it's Fanfiction! I decided to give it a shot. Take a gamble. So, if you don't like this chapter, I'll completely understand, but please review why you don't like it so I could tweak with it, (there will be another Thalico chapter somewhere…). Thanks! And also thanks to Hagan Son of Nike for giving me such a brilliant idea. But I changed it a little bit, so sorry if it's not exactly word for word what you wanted! D:
Please read and leave a review! If you have any questions, please review or PM me them. I'm perfectly fine with both. Also, if you want a Thalico "Thalico", where they actually date and stuff… please PM or Review me and I would gladly add a chapter to this story or even PM you the chapter specially for you :D. Girl's perspective this time… again xD. READ ON!

Thalico
Naomi
My palms were sweaty. I recently moved into a huge house with my parents and my brother.
During the morning I literally jumped up in bed when my alarm rang.
Was I excited? Kind of. Don't count on it though. First day of schools are complete lies…
Anyway, I yawned and sat on my bed thinking about what's going to happen in the day. I heard a knock on my door. My hair jumped when my mom barged into the room, wearing a stained apron saying: BEST COOK EVER. She really is the best cook ever. Her food is the best. All my friends loved it. Or at least, my former friends, I left them without a good-bye.
"Mom! Is there no privacy?" I groaned, covering up my body with my blanket because I was just wearing a midriff and shorts. My mom laughed as I blushed with embarrassment.
"Sorry sweetie, just wanted to make sure you woke up. I already made you lunch." She walked up and turned on my light. I smiled.
"Thanks mom! Now can you please leave?" I cuddled even more in my blanket. My mom chuckled and closed the door. I sighed with relief and got out of bed. I opened my closet and threw on my clothes. I was wearing a white V-Neck with a long grey cardigan on top that flowed down to my waist. I was then wearing a black skirt that went to my knees with black leggings beneath it. I left my hair down, my bangs in front of my hair and the rest flowing behind it. I put on a heavy amount of black eyeliner, and some pink lip gloss. Fabulous. I ran down the stairs, with my cardy flowing behind it. I sat in one of the swirly chairs and grabbed a bagel. I started to spread cream cheese on it until my brother stole it.
"Louis, give back my bagle!" I yelled from my chair, "Oh no you didn't!" I screeched again when he took a bite. I pulled it out of his mouth and but he pushed me and took it again.
"Oh my god! My bagel is sooo important to me that I would die if Louis ate it!" Louis mimicked my voice, except it was three times higher. I growled and grabbed another bagel and stuck out my tongue.
Louis was wearing a black shirt with basketball shorts and Vans. His hair was gelled up again as he munched on my bagel and drank his milk.
When I finished my stuff, I checked myself again and went out the door. Louis started the car as I drove into the rest of my life. High School.
…
My palms were sweaty. I timidly walked into the front door, into (I completely made this name up) LCH High School. I went into the office, which was right next to the front door.
"Hi, um…" I started, but the secretary was too busy typing into the computer. A minute passed and she finally looked up.
"May I help you?" A raspy voice came out of her mouth. I nodded.
"My name is Naomi Miller and I'm new here. I sort of need my schedule." I responded, trying to act sweet, but sassy at the same time.
"Absolutely. Here you go!" She pulled something out of the printer and smiled, "Enjoy your first day of school."
"Thanks!" I called behind my back. A voice appeared behind me.
"Hi! My name is Georgia, do you need any help?" Georgia asked, she was wearing a summer dress that was an inch above her knee, with pink flowers showering over it. She had a cream-colored cardigan over it and was wearing black converse high-tops. Her brown hair was tied into a top knot which showed her green eyes. She had a lot of eyeliner and mascara on, but nothing else. I guess she has a reason. All that stuff on her eyes made them pop out.
"Hey Georgia—" I started.
"Sorry, just call me Gia. Do you need help?" she held out her hand as I shook it.
"Okay… um, can you help me with my schedule stuff…?" I held out my schedule to her.
"Sure!" She peered at it for a second, "No wonder I'm here to help you, I literally have the same schedule except Greek Mythology." She smiled, with her teeth perfectly even and white.
"Oh… that's cool." I responded, trying to act happy.
"Yeah! Here, I'll show you to your locker." She pulled my hand over to locker 845. She giggled.
"You lucky duck! You're right next to a super nice girl, I have to stick with the bitches." She rolled her eyes over to the sluts over there. But looked back at me.
"Really? What's her name?" I asked, trying to sound bright.
"Thalia. She's one of my really good friends. I'm sure you'll be great friends with her." Gia responded happily.
"That's cool." I agreed.
"Hey, I forgot to ask you! What's your name?" Gia asked, standing next to me. I could tell she wanted to be my friend. I guess I'm okay with that…
"Naomi," I responded, as I tried out my locker combo. I opened it with ease.
"Wow, such a beautiful name. Well, once you're done, I'll show you to your next class." Gia leaned against the lockers.
"Thanks."
"It is beautiful." Another voice called from behind me. She had spiky black hair with a silver jacket and black jeans and black combat boots. Her electrifying eyes sparked with energy. I like this girl.
"Hi," I said emotionlessly.
I guess I should tell you my story.
Well, my dad cheated on my mom, so he left. He tried to lure me along with him, promising a better life than mom. I automatically refused There was no way was I going with him. Ever since that, I cried every single day to sleep. My mom started to change. She's always nice and sweet in the mornings, but at nights, when she's back from work, she would turn mad for no apparent reason or completely depressed, being alone in her room for four hours straight. I was never the same. I didn't find any feeling anymore. All of it was wasted. And used.
But back to the brighter side.
"Thals!" Gia squealed excitedly, "Thals, meet Naomi, Naomi, meet Thalia!" I smiled faintly as I shook her hand. It was firm, like she knew what she was doing.
"Hi Naomi, who do you have first period?" Thalia asked. I peered at my schedule.
"Math, with Mrs. Carson," I replied.
"Cool! Now all three of us have the same schedules!" Gia squealed, "Omgee, I have to show you to my other friends." She pulled Thalia and I to a crowd of people.
And that was when I met him.
Everything went in slow motion. He had black hair tossed to the side. He had pale skin and was wearing a black leather jacket with black jeans and Converse. He looked at me with those brown eyes, he smiled a little that made my heart flutter. That fluttering… I haven't felt like that ever since my dad left. Was it love at first sight? Or was it just me?
"Naomi!" Gia squealed as I was pushed into the middle of the crowd. I tried looking for that guy. But he was nowhere to be seen. I shook my head.
Wow… I'm going crazy. I thought in my head.
"Hi," I said shyly. Everyone exchanged 'hi's' and 'hey's'.
"Mimi, this is Duke, Miranda, Judy, Jill, Jay, Jim, Lance, Kirk, Gustin, Nico, and Sabrina." Gia giggled, as I waved to each of them.
Mimi? What kind of name is that? I thought with disgust. I don't like nicknames. Duke has dark brown hair, almost black, that was messy. He had gorgeous hazel eyes and he was wearing a green t-shirt, cargo shorts and some basketball shoes.
Miranda was pretty. She had caramel colored hair with brown highlights that was into a high side ponytail. She also has hazel eyes, but a little darker than Duke's. She was wearing a black shirt tucked in by an orange skirt with sandals. She didn't have any make-up on except some mascara and eyeliner. Judy had long blond hair, that went to her mid-back and fair-colored skin. Her blue eyes shone as her arms were wrapped around Duke's. She was wearing a maroon-colored tank top with Adidas pants and red Converse on. A basketball duffel bag with on her shoulder. She only had on mascara.
Jill I could tell was Judy's sister. She also had blond hair but it was a little shorter, up to her shoulders. Her height was a little shorter as well. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail as she was wearing a complete different style from Judy's. She had on a strapless royal purple dress with a white cardy on top. She had on white high-tops that made her blue eyes pop up.
Jay was cute, he has brown hair and green eyes. He was wearing a shirt saying LIKE A BOSS with jeans and some Nike sneakers. Nothing fancy, but he wore it like it was his brands. Jim was a twin of Jay. So basically they look exactly the same wearing the exact same brands.
Kirk has black hair that was buzz-cut like. So he looked like he was in the army. He was hella tall, like 6 foot 3 and he had on a camo jacket with cargo shorts and Reeboks.
Gustin has red hair and tan skin. He also has green eyes and he was wearing a shirt and jeans with sneakers.
Sabrina had a strapless black top with a navy blue long dress below it. Her black hair had blue highlights and was swept to the side. Her blue eyes scare me just as much as Thalia's. But she just smiled and she looked friendly.
And lastly… Nico. The guy I saw who made my heart flutter. He didn't respond. Thalia nudged me when I realized that Nico felt a little uncomfortable when I was staring at him. I blushed like mad and looked away.
"Soo…" Thalia shuffled her feet awkwardly, "I'll show you to your classes." She pulled me to my math class and looked at me.
"What's up with you and Nico?" she demanded, crossing her arms.
"Nothing! I swear!" I quickly responded, still blushing. She narrowed her eyes, and raised an eyebrow.
"It seems a little more than nothing." She glared at me but pulled me into the classroom and sat next to me anyway. I was covering my cheeks as they were still crimson from staring at Nico. But of course, he just had to sit next to me. I could feel another blush attack creeping up on my cheeks.
Stop feeling like that, I scolded myself, and look straight forward, Love at first sight doesn't exist…
And that's when Mrs. Carson came into the rescue as I sighed with relief. She smiled at me.
"Welcome class! Before we continue we have a new student today." Mrs. Carson pointed at me and I rised from my seat slowly. I cleared my throat.
"Hi. My name is Naomi and I like music." I then sat down. Every looked back to what they were doing like I didn't exist.
"I like music too," Nico whispered next to me. I then felt another red-cheek attack crawling up my face. I put my face into my arms, so he couldn't see.
"Who doesn't? What's your favorite band?" I asked.
"Imagine Dragons," (I'm not sure if it's true so I just made it up. Please correct me if I'm wrong!) Nico responded. I grinned.
"Me too. Their words are deep yo…" I trailed off. His eyes brightened.
"I know!" Nico smiled back at me as my cheeks turned redder. I was about to say something back but Mrs. Carson yelled out.
"Naomi and Nico! Naomi, I know you are new, but you shouldn't flirt with Nico during my class. We have much more important things than that." She glared at me. Nico and I blushed so bad when one of the dudes whistled. I sort of freaked out when Thalia next to me growled and her eyes flashed with anger. I was confused, she hated guys. I didn't pay attention to class. I just passed notes to Nico and Thalia and rejected a few ask out's. I rolled my eyes as I threw one note at that dude.
…
As the bell rang, I ate lunch with the gang. Nico and Thalia sat next to each other while I sat next to Gia and across from Duke.
"Omigosh, I heard that a lot of the guys like you!" Gia squealed at me, "You have to get a new makeover!"
"No." Nico and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and blushed as the gang wiggled their eyebrows and whistled.
Gia didn't seem to realize. "Why NAWWTTT?!" She whined.
"Because I don't want to dress like… them," We all looked at the slutty girls (Jewel and Liliana I think…?) as they smeared make-up on them and pulled up their skirts.
"Ew." Thalia remarked. I agreed. Gia just giggled.
"Ew! Not like them! More like Annabeth!" Gia clapped her hands. Wow. She gets excited really easily.
"Who's Annabeth?" I asked.
"Annabeth is my cousin's girlfriend." Thalia responded, slurping her smoothie.
"And… who's your cousin?" I asked slowly.
"Percy." Thalia said simply. I raised an eyebrow and looked behind me. I threw my aluminum foil away and headed back with Nico, Thalia, and Gia. Thalia and Nico was like a little group as we walked back. They hit each other, hugged each other, and joked around. I felt a pang of jealousy in my mind. Gia realized and winked at me.
"So you have an interest in Nico?" She whispered.
"Um—" I started but Gia cut me off.
"OH MY GOSH! I HAVE DRESS YOU UP!" She shouted out loud. Everyone turned their heads and Gia winked at them, like she was supposed to blurt it out.
"No I don't—" I started again but Gia was squealing so loudly I had to massage my forehead. Then Thalia and Nico turned around.
"What's up with Gia hyperventilating again?" Thalia raised an eyebrow. I was about to respond but again, Gia beat me to it.
"Naomi likes—" I then covered her mouth and pushed her away.
"I don't like anybody! You know Gia…" I shrugged. Thalia laughed.
"Yeah, she's like that. One time, she predicted that I liked Nico. Like, what the heck? I mean, look how hideous he looks!" She playfully shoved him.
"Hey!" Nico protested. He flexed his muscles and pointed at them, "Look at it!"
I think you're pretty good-looking. I thought. But I didn't dare to speak it.
Thalia then twisted Nico's arm to the opposite direction, making the muscles point downwards, "Wow, they look wimpy to me, don't 'cha think?" Everyone laughed as Nico sulked away, "Come on, Nico, I was joking!" Thalia hugged him, in a friendly way, and Nico rolled his eyes.
"Please, I know you were joking. I'm not an idiot." Nico crossed his arms.
"Really? I thought you were and idiot." Thalia rolled her eyes back at him.
"Hey!" Nico said again.
…
A few months later…
(just gonna fast forwards a little bit, or else it's gonna be 100,000,000 words xD)
A few months passed. I was closer to Thalia, Gia, and Nico every second I'm with them. And they were literally my best friends. I met these Percy and Annabeth folks, and they seemed pretty nice as well. Although they sometimes imitate me on how cute they are together and how frickin' smart Annabeth is. Gia is still 'you know you like him' to me and Nico. And I guess she was telling the truth. I did have a little crush on him. Just a little. Don't go shipping me with him. Now that's embarrassing. But don't tell him I do. Thalia was acting strangely though. Every time I have a deep conversation with Nico, she would always butt in like I'm not supposed to talk to him or something. Weird. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I walked in towards the usual table and sat next to Nico and Thalia. They both greeted me and started to wolf down their food like there was no tomorrow. I giggled as I nibbled on my sandwich. Gia then barged in as well as the rest of the gang. Percy and Annabeth came in later because they had some issues of who-knows-what.
"Do you even know how to do this homework shit?" Nico asked me. I shrugged.
"Not the slightest clue." I responded as Thalia laughed. Nico just smiled which made me blush a hard-core red. Thalia made her suspicious look again and glared at me like I was someone new. I laughed nervously. What was up? Nico just shrugged and went back to his lunch.
"What's up with Thalia in the past few weeks?" I whispered to Nico, leaning into him. Nico looked around.
"I have no idea, but apparently she's either mad, or jealous. I knew that face for a long time now." Nico grimaced, "apparently, she's mad at somethin'. But it's none of my business."
"But isn't it weird that she always makes that face when I talk to you?" I asked, trying to ignore the heat that was crawling up my cheeks. Nico didn't seem to realize the awkwardness of that statement and shrugged again.
"She's a maiden, she probably feels uncomfortable when we're talking like that," Nico responded as I blushed. Nico seemed to realize it at last and blushed with me. "Not like that Naomi! Sheesh!" I laughed and threw away my trash.
"Well, she did scream when Percy and Annabeth kissed," I remarked, and Nico laughed at that.
"Yeah, she couldn't stand if they held it any longer," Nico chuckled.
"You know," I said while looking up, "I'm glad I met you." Nico looked surprised, but his cheeks turned into a deep shade of red.
"Me too," Nico responded, smiling. I laughed at his reaction and pushed him. I stood up and ran after Thalia, who stormed away after I talked to Nico. I tapped her shoulder and she whirled around glaring at me.
"What is up with you and Nico?" Thalia demanded. I looked at her with shock, like she just stabbed me in the gut.
"What about Nico and I?" I asked, trying to act calm.
"Apparently you have some feelings towards him," Thalia growled, "Do you?"
"I don't!" I protested. A complete lie. I did have a slight crush on him. Who wouldn't? We share the same things, and show the same interests. We were made for each other.
"Lie!" Thalia said boldly, "Do you have the thing towards him?"
I'm not sure why she said the thing but apparently she did not appreciate it.
"Fine…" I gave in, "I do have a little… like literally a minute crush on him." I smirked after I blushed, "Why do you ask?" Thalia blushed like mad as she covered her cheeks.
"Nothing, I just wanted to know." Thalia blushed again and walked into the classroom, "Let's go." I followed her, smirking on every step I took.
Thalia has a cru-ush, Thalia has a cru-ush I cheered in my mind. I sat next to Nico and blushed as he looked at me. I tried not to look back. Should I ask? I asked myself, knowing the Thalia also has the thing. I debated the conflicts in my head as my English teacher, Mrs. Fox, blabbered on like there was no tomorrow about coffee mugs. I finally forced both of my brain sides agree and turned to Nico, who was drawing machine guns shooting at flowers. I rolled my eyes but asked him anyway.
"Do you have a crush?" I covered my mouth with my hand and turned to the side, trying to ignore the heat on my cheeks. Nico looked startled as he snapped his head around.
"Wh-what?" Nico looked around, like he wasn't allowed to have a crush.
"Do you have a crush?" I repeated, saying it slowly like I was talking to a three-year old. His cheeks turned redder than mine, probably because of his pale skin, and stuttered.
"Uh-eh, er…" He scratched his neck, and then shrugged, "maybe?" His cheeks flushed a dark red and I giggled.
"Looks like you do," I teased. He yelped like a dog once I said it.
"Fine. I do, okay? But I'm not telling you!" Nico turned away, his face completely red. I held in a laugh and listened to the rest of the coffee mug lecture.
…
Once the bell rang, three guys pushed past me out the door. I growled but walked out with none of my fists touching their stomach. I was about to walk out the door and I met Nico.
"Hey!" I waved my hand towards him and started to run. I bumped shoulders with him and his face was still red from the question I asked.
"Hi. Sorry, I can't walk with you today, Percy, Jason, and I have a project meeting." Nico looked at me expectantly and blinked a few times. I cocked my head.
"That's alright. We could talk tomorrow. Bye!" I hugged him in a friendly way. You dirty minded people (LOL I had to add that in). As I was about to walk away, I saw Thalia tapping impatiently as Nico walked to her. I cocked my head in curiosity and walked towards them silently.
"About time, Nico!" Thalia yelled, finally standing up.
"What?" Nico whined, "I had to say bye to Naomi." Thalia cocked her head.
"What?" Nico asked. Thalia smiled devilishly.
Great, she's gonna tell him that I have a huge crush on him! I covered my eyes.
"She has a huge crush on you!" Thalia pushed him playfully. Nico blushed.
"What?" Nico said in surprise, "No wonder she asked me… Oh well. I don't like her back, not in that way. That's creepy how I would like a mortal."
My eyes closed. Water filled him up. But I was still confused. Mortal…?
"I know," Thalia agreed.
"I like you better," Nico responded as Thalia blushed, "I mean—"
I dashed off before he could finish his sentence.
Thalia's POV
I blushed but calmed down. I knew she was watching all this time. But Nico wasn't. I sort of felt bad as Nico said to me that he like me better. We both know it's not what Naomi's meant. She left before he could finish his sentence.
"I mean, we're best friends right?" Nico bumped me on the shoulder. However, I didn't move. He attempted again.
"Nice try, buddy. Let's go, Percy and baby brother must be waiting." I smiled sadly as Naomi left. I could hear her whimpers. If only she knew.
I'm sorry I didn't write for like two months. I had some internet problems. I couldn't connect to the wireless modem so I had to use the Ethernet cable. And my garage stinks like hell. :3 Sorry about that. The other story should also be up soon.
The next chapter will be dedicated for mai loyal reviewer... Princess of Flames! :) So Reyico is next! Thanks Princess of Flames! Next chapter... Who's up for snobs? :DDD Opinions? And who should be the next cute couple on the next next chapter? I'm thinking about Cleo, I don't know about you... :) Review opinions?
