Chapter 5
Adara's P.O.V
Monday.. As history said it, from many years before, Monday is the worse! If you can guess why, congrats! You guessed homework? Maybe. You guessed boy trouble? Unlikely. You guessed exam or test? It's likely.
You guessed being the front page new for the newspaper? Bingo!!! Guess what is the front page news? A picture of Nico and myself at that fancy restaurant. Guess who did it. May! My best friend! Here, listen to this.
( Flashback )
" So, you just happen to be there and just happen to take pictures?!?!" I asked, furious as everyone stared.
"Yes, I did that! I know it's wrong! But I thought you were just scared to tell or show your relationship! Isn't that right?"
" No, it's not, May! That's wrong to do! I'm not even sure if my relationship with Nico is like that!" The person I said, Nico isn't even in school. I really want to punch something out now.
" Look, I'm sorry!"
" Sorry doesn't cut it, May." I glared one more time at her before leaving.
(End flashback)
I know! I was mean! But being really angry influences me a lot. Oh, but another thing that added to my depression is this.
(Flashback)
" So, that di Angelo already won you, did he?" A voice said and I jumped again. I turned to see Kenneth. The supposedly guy I had a crush on. My feelings are changing again….
" Kenneth. What are you doing here?"
" I told Nico I would fight for you… Oh yes. I will. How about we hang together on Saturday, Dara?"
" N-no, Kenneth. Now, if you'll excuse me." I turned to leave but I heard him mumbling to himself.
" I found her first, Nico… Kronos wouldn't mind me having a girl." Kronos…? Isn't that the Greek Titan? I better ask Nico.
( End Flashback)
I'm heading to Nico's house now. Hopefully he isn't busy…

Nico's P.O.V
" Father, surely you know the attacks from Kronos is becoming more dangerous. Shouldn't we help? Typhon has escaped."
" Yes, I know, Nico. But what did they ever do for me?"
He's right… what did they do for him?
" I… Hecate visited me. She said that your father wanted me to join their side. I said no and they are now sending attacks to me."
" Is that so? Then, surely a son of mine can defend himself. Prove yourself to me. Now go!"
I was thrown back into my house. Strange, was I gone for that long? It's night time now…
My fatal flaw… holding a grudge. I must be careful… especially not holding a grudge at my father…
My doorbell rang. I rushed there and opened the door.
"Nico…" Dara said before hugging me. I hesitantly hug her back.
" What is it?" Then, I saw the item she was clutching. A newspaper? The school newspaper… She stepped back and held out the newspaper.
I read the front page. Is Nico and Adara together?! Nidara ALERT everyone!! Here's the proof!!
I glared at the pictures… This is what caused Dara pain? Ok, it's about to start… the guilt.
Ok, it started. I racked my brain to think of something to say.
" Um… I'm sorry?"
" I got into a fight with May!! I told her about us going out that day! She followed us. I'm so sorry!! I shouldn't have said anything. Nico…. Where do we stand exactly?" Her innocent green eyes looked at my black ones.
" I don't know. Honestly, I don't know. I think we are friends now. Is that right?"
" Yes, I think that would be the best! Thanks a lot Nico!! Hey, I'm going to cook something for you. I wish you have some ingredients I could use." She went over to the kitchen and made something. It took about 15 minutes or so. I set up the table for two. It's the least I could do…
We sat down and ate.
" This is edible." I 'complimented' her.
" Thank you."
" Aren't your parents worried about you?"
" Well, they are. Depends on their mode. If it's parents mode, they'll be the nicest parents ever. But if it's working mode, they become stoic and business-like."
" Right… great parents, Dara… What, how did you get these ingredients anyway?"
" How? I thought your fridge was full with ingredients. It's a magical fridge?"
" Maybe…"
" Now I remember! Kenneth told me something… I mean he mumbled something to himself. He said that Kronos wouldn't mind him having a girl. Which is me, by the way. Isn't Kronos the Greek Titan?"
I felt a twinge of jealously once more.
" Yes, Kronos is said Greek Titan. Wait…. Kenneth is a part of Kronos' army? Then… we better start training you soon, Dara."
