Hey guys! Sadly, I waited around 24 hours, and got one guess. Sorry Hera Grace the Watermelon Prin! It is not Nico. You will see who it is, though. And, since I'm not good at making suspense, I'm putting it near the start.
Will was walking towards his house after playing a quick game of basketball with Austin, Lou Ellen, and Kayla. Then, Percy ran up to him. He handed him a small slip of paper. Will put the paper in his pocket and continued walking. Then, he sat down on his porch and took it out. He read it once. Twice. A third time. He put it in his pocket, and went for a walk around Deity Road. Eventually, he stopped.
Will looked down at the piece of paper that Percy had given him.
'Party.
Jason Grace and Thalia Grace's house.
408, Deity Road.
Invite as many people as possible.'
Will was just about certain that Nico would be there. So yes, he was absolutely going.
"So, you got one too?" A voice behind him said.
Will nodded without turning around.
"Are you going? Is it because of someone?"
"Nico." Will muttered, barely audible.
He didn't think the person had heard him. He was wrong. In every single way. Will turned around and saw Annabeth looking at him. She was on the porch of the building he had stopped in front of. She sat down in a chair, and motioned for him to come closer and sit. He did.
"Well, I'm going because Percy gave me the invitation. I've had a crush on him since I saw him in sixth grade. I didn't know it then, though." She said.
"Okay, well, um… I should get going because I'll be late for dinner. Bye!" Will said, taking off.\
The invitation hadn't said when the pary was, so he walked down to the Grace household. Then, he saw the posters in the windows.
Party starts at sundown, on Sunday!
That was tomorrow. At sunset. Will walked back to his house slowly, and then he decided to invite Lou Ellen, Austin, Kayla, and Rachel. Then, he went back to his house, ate his food silently, and went up to his room, anxious for the next day.
(*^_^*)
Will looked at the Grace house. It was big, Will realized for the first time. He heard music coming from inside. He opened the door and walked through. He saw that there were about fifty other people there, and music was playing from speakers. Will was shocked because… The music sounded suspiciously like Jason's voice. Will walked through, and found Annabeth.
"Hey Annabeth." Will said. "I have a strange feeling you're going to make a move on Percy?"
"I will… When you talk to Nico. You may think I didn't hear you yesterday, but I did. I will drag you to Nico if I have to."
"W-What?" Will felt his cheeks getting warm.
"I heard you yesterday. When you said Nico. Now, go talk to him!"
Will knew he must be blushing like crazy. "Uh, o-okay. I-I will."
Will looked for Nico and found him. He walked up to him and was quiet at first. Then, Nico said something.
"What's up, Will?"
"N-nothing."
"Okay, well, how do you like the party so far? I had to help Jason and Thalia set up. Thalia is dancing with her boyfriend, Danny. Jason's probably acting like an idiot with Percy."
"Wait, but, aren't you and Thalia…"
"Together? Nope."
"But- you pick her up every day."
"There's a reason for that. Jason is always late, so I usually come by and pick Thalia up. She's in our homeroom, you know."
Will sat down next to Nico and shot a death glare towards a laughing Annabeth. Then, he saw that Nico was looking over there, too. Will saw why Annabeth was laughing. Percy currently had a chocolate bar sticking out of his upper lip. Will laughed a little bit. Nico looked at him.
"So, Will, it seems like you and Kayla are pretty happy." Nico said with zero emotion.
"What?"
"Yeah. You did invite her, right?"
"Oh yeah, but she's like a sister to me."
"Oh, cool."
"Yeah…"
It was getting pretty awkward, so Will decided to ask about the music.
"Oh yeah, that's us." Nico replied, rubbing his neck.
"No way!"
"Yep."
"How come I've never heard of you before?"
"We don't have a name. We've never performed."
"What! No way! I have to see you guys!"
"Umm… It's only members, close friends, and, ah, s-significant others."
Will's heart did a flip again. "Well, then, I'm a close friend, right?"
"I-I guess. I'll talk to the others."
"Cool! Well, I'm going to go get some food."
"I'll come with!"
Will's heart did about thirty flips rapid fire, and then skipped about ten beats, and then migrated to his tonsils.
'Nico di Angelo I going to eat with me!' About 90 percent of Will, the love side, screamed.
'Oh calm down! It's a snack bar!' Nine percent of Will replied.
'Snack! Hungry!' The other one percent perked up.
'Go away, Logic and Hunger!'
'Why should we, Love! You're only making Will's life harder!'
'HUNGRYYYYY!'
'Hunger, leave us. We must fight now.'
Suddenly, one percent of Will stopped working. Will could feel two emotions tugging and biting and ripping and scratching and hurting the other. Metaphorically!
'HAH! I won! Leave me and Will and Nico alone now, Logic!'
Suddenly, Love swelled up to get 100 percent of control over Will's actions. Then, Nervous, Logic, and Happy fought with Love. Will could not stop grinning.
Huh. Reference to Inside Out that I didn't even notice as I wrote. Wow. Anyways, Teaser Time! Sorry if you got it wrong, try again next time!
Teaser:
"Once I was seven years old, momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
Seven years old."
"Guys that was awesome!" The girl on the right of Will exclaimed.
"Super cool!" The other said.
"You guys should play in the park!"
"No. We can't." A voice said from the doorway.
"Yeah. I agree. We just can't. We sing other people's songs. Not original ones." The only female member of the actual band said.
The five teenagers seated turned to face the other voice. They found a girl with electric blue eyes, dark blue hair, dressed in ripped jeans, a biker jacket, and had a half of a lightning bolt necklace. The boy with the same eyes had one that matched up perfectly.
Hey guys. Same as last time.
Ex:
Danny Blaze. Guess: Luke for person singing, Silena for girl with blue hair, Reyna for girl member of actual band, and Charles for boy with the same eyes. Character: Joey Sampter, Age 16, jumps out of a bush and scares Will.
None of that is correct. Keep it fresh and cool my friends!
