I deleted and rewrote the last chapter. Sorry!

The next day when I walk into Livros Antigos, Nico is sitting on the floor by the big, red couch. His elbows are propped up on the coffee table and he's got a stack of books in front of him. As the door shuts behind me, making the bell ring, he looks up, and a smile spreads on his face.

"Percy! You're here!" With the smile still intact, Nico gets up to wrap his arms around my waist in a hug.

"Well, yeah buddy, I promised didn't I?" I say, returning the embrace.

"You did." Nico nods, and pulls me over to the couch. "Annie said we should start with these." He gestured over to a stack of Dr. Seuss books.

I look around, noticing that Annabeth isn't in here. "Where is she, anyways?" I ask.

Nico shrugs and hands me 'Are You My Mother', "On a date with her boyfriend." I give a small reply of 'oh'. Nico gives me a look. "Don't worry I'm not alone, Hazel and Bianca are in the back watching the telly."

I nod and smile, "Alright, well let's start, yeah?"

My next month consists of work, Livros Antigos, and sleep. Sometimes I would hang out with Rachel and the others, but unlike me, they had a social life outside our small house. It wasn't that I was antisocial, I just never bothered to make friends. That, and the teachers where I work are all older than me, almost reaching retirement point.

I'm happy to say that Nico has made extreme progress. He's almost at his correct reading level and may or may not be reaching higher by the end of this month.

Annabeth walks out of what I'm guessing is the storage part of the store, carrying a massive load of books. " Hey, do you need help?" I ask, as I'm waiting for Nico to get back from the restroom.

"Er, sure." Her voice is muffled by the stack of books. I stood up and took half of the load into my own, following Annabeth to the Fiction section.

She begins to shelf books, as I follow her. "Nico told me you-uh- you... do you have a boyfriend?"

Her ears turn pink but she continues placing the books in their correct area, not turning to look at me. "M'no." I can see her smile as she turns the corner into another bookshelf aisle. A few books later: "Do you?"

"Do I what?" I say completely zoned out.

"Have a girlfriend- or a uh boyfriend...?"

"What! No, no I don't have a girlfriend," I say my face burning.

Her cheeks and ears darken as well.

"Percy!" Nico calls down from the front of the store. Saved by an angel.

"Coming bud," I call back, I give Annabeth a smile and hand her the three remaining books in my hands. I walk back to Nico, whose eagerly leafing through an I Spy book.

+x+

"Alright," I say as Nico closes the Kane Chronicles book. "We'll start chapter two next week."

His brow furrows, "Why next week?"

"I've got parent teacher meetings this whole week," I say.

"You have kids?" Nico asks, reaching to grab a cookie off of the platter on the coffee table.

"No, I'm a teacher." I grin.

"What do you teach?" Annabeth says coming out from behind the shelves and sitting on the arm of the couch.

"History and P.E." I answer.

"Where?" She asks, her interest spinking up.

"Goode High."

"Oooh my sister, Hazel, goes to that school!" Nico bounds.

"Levesque?"

"Yes! She's my sister," Nico grins.

"Hmm, well I'll keep a look out for her then." I quickly check my phone; '8:47pm'. "I should get going. It's almost nine and I've got tons of markings and revision plans for tomorrow that I've gotta do." I stand up and stretch, arms reaching high to the ceiling.

"Nine already? I need to close and get you to bed," Annabeth says to Nico.

"I don't wannaaaaa," he drawls out.

"You gottaaaaa," Annabeth mimics.

I hold back a laugh as she ushers the kid through the back door. With one final wave he disappears through the door.

"Well, I'll see you later," I say to Annabeth. I stop and turn back, halfway to the door. "Hey do you, erm wanna-"

"Saturday," She says walking over with a piece of paper in hand. "At seven." She smiles, turns the Opened/Closed sign to Close and walks off to the door. "Bye Percy, have a good night. Close the door when you leave please."

I nod but remain standing.
