I would like to thank all my reviewers. Every time I get a review I start hoping up and down with joy. A special shout out my BFF Glower20000: Please tell Blondie to stop with all the idiotic "elbow" jokes and good luck with Region Choir. Now to all the people who did not understand that do not worry that is just about me and my weird friends. Now… ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 7
Marie P.O.V
When my five minutes of peace were up I got up and started walking towards the Dining Pavilion. The second I walked in all but one conversations stopped. There was Annabeth complaining to one of her know-it-all siblings. "Wow! You know Marie hasn't changed. She is still the little crybaby she always was. I mean I almost had Percy. He belongs with me! I hate that little (insert swear word)!" she said. The whole room was quiet and she didn't know it because she was so full of herself. Just when she was about to continue, I came up behind her and said "Wow! Annab**** you haven't changed either. Still as bitter as ever. Wow and you would have thought after a thousand years and being an immortal would have made you prettier… but I think you just got uglier." She turned around and her eyes widened. "I am not the little helpless, innocent twelve year old I was a thousand years ago. Now I am the girl who is herself and not someone who gets bullied because she was different than everyone else." I continued looking her in the eye. "I ran off yesterday because I didn't want to cause a category 5 hurricane." She got up and pulled out her dagger and held it to my neck. I laughed. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy except for all the people from Camp Chaos. I explained "My skin is harder than a diamond. No puny blade like yours can hurt me." She looked stunned and all of Camp Chaos laughed. I grabbed her blade and bent it into an "M". "See now you can remember me. Also did I mention I have super strength." I added.
After that rather hilarious event I went over to the Chaos Table. Percy looked at me with a look of concern on his face and said "I didn't know Annabeth bullied you!" I looked at him. "She was the person who got everybody to go agents me." I said simply. I told him about that one day I had returned home. When I was done he was practically shaking with anger. I put my hand on his arm and said "It's fine I already got my payback." He calmed down a little but still looked pretty mad.
TIME SKIP (later at the battle meeting)
"Hey! Everybody listen up!" All eyes turned to Percy. "I have called this meeting to bring to the table the problem with a few titans and a giant in Japan." All the campers' eyes went wide. We were sitting in the Chaos Cabin war room to talk about the problem we were having over at our Camp in Japan. "You see Camp Chaos has bases all around the globe. In Japan we have mostly sons and daughters of Japanese gods." All the cabin counselors except Nico had shocked looks on their faces. "What?" I said "You do know there are other Mythologies other than just you, right?" According to their faces they did not. Percy explained to them about it all and how other gods existed too. Gods some of them were quite blind. Though the one person I was trying not to look at had a bit of a smirk on his face. "What's up with you?" Thalia said reading my mind. "I already knew." Nico said simply. I guessed because his dad told him. Percy then continued to say "Nineteen of the captains will go because our wisdom captain has some matters for Chaos to take care of. Instead we will have Nico, Thalia, and… Annabeth go." He moved on quickly before I could say anything "Also obviously we will have me, my second in command, and my co-commander go. We leave in an hour, pack up we have a long trip ahead of us." I knew it would take 24 hours to get to Japan (A/N Actually it would take 11 hours but I hate that number so I am making it 24 because that is my favorite number.) so I put on some sweats and my old Camp Chaos T-Shirt and packed up my clothes in a bag. I got done earlier so I went back to my cabin and waved my hair. By the time I came out everyone was already on the ship. I walked up the few stairs it took and looked around. All the seats were taken except the one next to Annabeth and the one in the very back. I couldn't tell who it was but anyone would be better than Annabeth. So I made my way to the back making sure to kick Annabeth in the shin on my way back. I sat down in my seat and turned my head to see who was beside me. Just as that person did the same. We bonked heads and a shooting pain shot through my forehead. "Well…ow." I said dizzily. I was looking down and didn't look to see who it was yet. "Hey are you ok?" asked a familiar voice. I looked up in to the chocolate brown eyes that I fell head over heels for. I literally stop and stared for a second then mumbled sorry and stared out the window (he was sitting in the seat away from the window I guess he still had a fear of heights). I looked over at him and he was looking anywhere but the window and… me. I guess he really doesn't like me (A/N I bet you want to yell at the computer, don't you?). That's why he's avoiding me… because he doesn't like me like that and doesn't want to hurt my feelings. I blasted my head phones listening to the song: a thousand years, wishing that Nico liked me back.
An hour in to the trip and my ADHD was already bothering me. I looked out at the window and all I saw was the beautiful blue sky slowly turning to the black of night. I looked over at Nico and saw he was listening to music and playing with his skull ring. Then I realized that seconds ago I had been doing the same. He looked over and noticed I was looking at him. What? He mouthed. Nothing. I replied. I turned back to the window so he wouldn't see the blush creeping up my face. "Hey what song are you listening to?" he asked. I turned around to look at him and showed him my IPhone. I was playing Let's See How Far We've Come. "Good song he commented. "You want to listen?" I asked, I mean we were still friends. "Sure." He said plainly. He took out his ear buds and put in one of mine. We calmly listened and talked about the song. After that my favorite song that reminded me of us played: a Thousand Years. We sat there kind of awkwardly both of us lost in our own thoughts. He looked over at me and… smiled. I smiled back trying to cover up the love I had for him. I sat back and yawned. I pulled out the ear buds and put them in my bag. I closed my eyes and leaned my head on Nico's shoulder. I felt him tense up then relax. When he thought I was asleep he whispered "I love you." So faint I barely heard him. I hugged his arm and leaned in. I fell asleep.
Nico P.O.V
Marie leaned her head on my shoulder. I tensed for a second. What is wrong with me she used to do this all the time? I mean we are still friends. So I relaxed. I heard her breathing slow and said softly "I love you." She wrapped her arms around arm and leaned in. Was she awake or was it something she did in her sleep? I didn't know what to think.
TIME SKIP (12 hours)
Marie P.O.V
I woke up with a smile on my face. My head was on Nico's shoulder and I was pretty comfy. Though with much regret I sat up and looked over at Nico. "Hey, how long did I sleep?" I asked him. He smiled and said "You slept for 12 hours… exactly!" I shrugged "I have like an internal clock that makes me wake up every 12 hours!" We laughed then an awkward settled over us. I had a long 11 hours ahead of me.
Sorry I had to end it there but I have been working on this all weekend and still have to update my other story (that you should read)! So anyway I have this thing from now on where I will state something I said a lot that day or something random. Today is: FUNNER IS NOT A WORD! Bye! (don't forget to review)
