Wow! You guys are so awesome! I have gotten so many reviews for this story! Thanks a ton!
A lot of you requested Nico discovering Annabeth's cellphone, but I really wanted to use a different idea for the cellphone so I hope you don't mind. Don't worry...Annabeth will appear in at least one of these chapters!
Anyways, enjoy!
Nico POV
"Hey, Nico," Tess, the girl of my dreams, called as I was walking out of school.
I gasped. Tess Andrews, the prettiest girl in school, just called me over! I couldn't believe it!
You see, I've had a huge crush on this girl ever since Persephone forced me to go to school. She had long, chocolate brown hair and olive green eyes. She was popular, so of course she would never talk to me. All of her friends said I was a bi-polar, emo freak.
That hurt. At least the freak part did. I didn't know what an emo was.
I would've screamed like a fan girl if my conscience hadn't stopped me in time. Be cool, Nico, I thought. Be cool. How hard could that be?
"Hey, Tess," I said smoothly. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing," she replied curtly. "I'm, you know, not supposed to talk to you, being the emo you are, but I had to ask you something."
"Lay it on me," I said, getting what she meant. She wanted to ask me out!
"Um, yeah, so, what is our homework for science? No one seems to know." She said.
My jaw dropped. "That's it?"
She blushed. "Yeah. What did you think I was going to ask you?"
I said nothing. She waited. Oh yeah, I still had to give her an answer.
"Um, well," I started. "I don't know either."
She sighed. "OK," then she saw how crestfallen I looked and sighed again. "I also wanted to ask you something else."
"What?" I said without enthusiasm.
"Do you want to go out some time? To the movies or something?"
She did not. No. She didn't. She did NOT just ask me out! This was crazy
"I-uh-would-uh-love-uh-I-mean-uh-like-to," I stuttered. I'm such an idiot sometimes.
"Great," she said, trying to sound happy. "Can I have your number?"
I stood there, still in shock. I just got asked out!
"Nico!" Tess waved a hand in front of my face.
"What?"
"What is your number?" She asked, pretending that her hand was a phone.
"My number?"
"Yes," she said impatiently. "You know, you're cell number?"
"What's a cell?" I said dumbly.
"Cellphone." she pulled out a little metal object and opened it. Instantly a little screen turned blue.
"See," she pointed to the object. "Cellphone," she explained slowly.
I realized that Annabeth had one of those things, but I was never able to ask her what it was. She always hid it, anyways.
"I-I don't understand," I said. "I don't have a-" I pointed to the thing she was holding.
"This is hopeless," she said as she stuffed the "cellphone" back into her bag. "Forget I asked you anything, Nico. You really are from a different time."
You have no idea, I thought.
"So," I said, changing the subject. "Friday?"
Tess huffed. "I just told you. We're not going out!" She turned and walked away, leaving me by myself.
Good job, Nico. You just lost any chance that you had with that girl.
I decided to go home. Nothing could make this day any better as long as I was still at school.
After walking a couple of blocks, I finally found a rainbow. It was just one of those puddles of oil found in the parking lots, but it was the best I could find.
I tossed a golden drachma into it, watching it splash and slowly sink into the ground.
"O Iris, show me Annabeth Chase, wherever she may be right now." I really needed to keep track of where she went, in case I needed her. Annabeth was like a sister to me.
The image changed. Annabeth's face filled the puddle It looked like she was sitting in her room. She noticed the IM and looked at me.
"Hey, Nico!" She said cheerfully. "What's up?"
"Hi. I just just have a question."
"Sure. What do you need to know?"
I sighed. "Annabeth, what's a cellphone?"
Please review! I love feedback! It makes me so happy!
