Nico

I was annoyed by Percy's entrance. I'd always been a little jealous of him. Bianca had always looked up to him and everyone else at Camp Halfblood treated him like a god. I mean sure the dude had kind of saved us from Kronos and all but seriously its not like he's a god or anything...yet. And the way he dropped into the gym with that smug expression on his face, it was totally a superman moment, you know where the hero swings in and saves the two hot ladies from the burning building or the evil villain. I guess that leaves me as the evil villain...not that I mind that much. I mean thats practically the treatment I get from people when I tell them I'm a son of Hades. Annabeth had gone all protective girlfriend on us and helped Percy up...before throwing him on the gym floor again. Sadie was standing there watching them with a distant expression on her face. She glanced over at me and I felt my face heat up. The pain in her dark eyes made me want to go all Percy on her and go on some dangerous quest but miraculously arrive back in time to save the world...and win Sadie too. Fine... maybe, I'm more than just a little jealous of Percy...

Annabeth clobbered Percy in a hug until Sadie started coughing. Annabeth shoved Percy off her. "Gods, Seaweed Brain get off me." She pretended. "Ha! Fat chance, Chase. We all know who started that one." Sadie joked, her voice strained. Percy grinned at Sadie. "The girl speaks the truth." He stuck out his hand at Sadie and she vigoruosly shook it. Sticking out her tongue at Percy, Annabeth beamed at Sadie. "So...your Sadie Kane." Percy began. His voice no long er in a joking tone and his eyes darkening to more of a hazel color. "The one and only." Sadie gave him a weak smile. "We have much to talk about." Percy said. He swiveled around to where I was standing. I swear the minute he saw me, he rolled his eyes. "Hey." I said darkly. "Nico! Dude! Cuz! Whats up? Why the long face?" Just those words made me want to kill him. Wow, my jealousy was really working overtime. "I'm fine." I muttered my eyes automatically moving to Sadie. Percy grinned smugly at me. "Aw, you've grown up so much! But she's not your type." He said, as if Sadie wasn't just standing right behind him. I glowered at him. "I don't know what you mean." I growled. "Sure you don't, cuz. Sure you don't." He laughed, ducking as Annabeth swiped at him. "Be nice!" She pretended to scowl at him, not very effectively. Percy turned to Sadie. Sadie winked at Annabeth before grabbing her arm. "Lets go inside. Me and Magic Pen Dude have a lot to talk about."
