THALIA POV
Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. I better not be kicked out of the hunters for this. I thought as I walked into Nico's cabin. "Wait, I don't have my night clothes. Can I borrow some pants and a long tee shirt?" I asked Nico.
"Give me a sec" his deep voice called, as he walked into his room. He handed me a pair of clothes and left me alone. He came back with only boxers on, and he was belching out to Till I collapse, by Eminem, which he was listening to on his iPhone.
"Ummm forget something? Look down." I awkwardly said, as I felt my cheeks turn tomato-red.
"Shit" he muttered and he backed away. As much as I want to say I was disgusted by the fact that he was only wearing boxers, like a true hunter, I would be lying. He was HOT! Like a full-out-8-pack-hot. His appearance left tingles in my stomach. I couldn't believe that he was officially older than me, now. Of course, it made sense because became a hunter. I was never like the others. I didn't join the hunters because of a guy, I joined to give the gods more time to prepare for the Second Titan War. Whatever I thought. I felt that for Nico whenever I saw him shirtless, but all girls do. It wasn't a crush, no way. And no I wasn't in denial.
"Sooooo. What's up?" he asked as we climbed into bed, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Nothing much. You know sleeping in the same bed as one of my best guy friends, probably getting video- taped this very moment. You know the usual." I replied, my voice oozing with sarcasm. He cracked a smile, turned on his iPhone playlist (Eminem/Green Day, of course), and said, "Good Night." "Wait can you turn up the music" I asked. He nodded and raised the volume. And that's when I fell asleep to the sound of a remix of "Good Riddance" and "When I'm Gone".
NICO POV
I woke up to my worst nightmare: birds chirping, a bright, warm sun, and happy children. "Ughh" I muttered. I felt something heavy on my bare stomach, so I looked down and found a black-haired, blued-eyed stranger lying on my stomach. I realized it was Thalia. Gods, she was still here. The hunters will get suspicious. But she looks so peaceful. Whateva. I thought. I shook her awake. Bad move. I got shocked about 300 times before I stopped counting. "Whaaa" Thalia started. Then she remembered. "Crap." She got up, put on her clothes, and ran out the door. I saw that everyone was giving her weird looks. I walked out to tell her she left her phone, when I saw people snicker. I was utterly confuzzled so I looked down and realized I was shirtless, so the shirt must have come off during the night. And of course walking right in front of my were, you named it, the Hunters. And Thalia was just joining them. We had no explanation, that could save us trouble. We were stuck in deep guano. I looked at the clock and saw the time, 11 o'clock. I ran back inside and got ready. I prepped myself for anything since of this mornings events. It will be a rough day today, I thought as I slammed my door shut.
