Nico's POV

Camp Half-Blood

I could not for the death of me find my dad's new cabin. I haven't been here since they added all the new ones and it's so much more confusing. I guess I'll have to go ask someone. I'm sure someone at the dining hall will know. I have to admit, I was nervous. Nervous to see everyone. I always get scared that they won't accept me…

Along the way I saw him. Not Percy him, but him as in Will Solace and all of a sudden I lost my original train of thought. "What is he doing here?" Was what I thought until I remember, "Duh. He's a camper here. Year round at that,"

"This can NOT be happening," I mumble. "Not another crush to confess to Cupid," I say as I walk across the still wet grass straight towards him. Why did he have to be on the same path as me? "What the Hade…"

"Nico! Hey! How are you doing? I didn't even know you were here. I was just heading to the dining hall. Wanna come with me?" Will asks.

My instincts tell me to say no, but secretly I want to spend some time with him. "I, uh, well, I mean, I have to run some stuff to people and I doubt I'll have time to eat," I lied quickly, but also hoping he'd want to come with me. At the same time I'm y=thinking that I can't get roped into talking to him. It would be so incredibly awkward. Like even more awkward than Hera meeting one of Zeus' many lady friends. I don't know what I want more… His company or my sanity.

"Well come have a cup of coffee with me and then I'll run your errands with you! How does that sound?" he asks excitedly.

"I… I guess yeah," I say as he beckons me to follow him to the dining hall. All I can think is "this is the most amazing day of my life, but also the very worst…"
