Hey people! Sorry it took me long to update but apart from a bit of writers block, I've been feeling a bit down! Anyways, here's Chapter 6! Enjoy :D!

Chapter 6 – Not A Bad Idea

~Percy's POV~

English wasn't pretty bad. seemed to be an OK teacher. The way he taught actually made me want to try and understand the lesson. We started Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'. It was a tragedy and, like Nico, I loved it when someone gets killed. I think my time with Nico rubbed a bit of him on me. Oh well.

We started Act 1 Scene 1. It wasn't a long scene, but still asked a few questions. He asked something about which characters are mentioned but no one knew it or if they knew it, no one wanted to answer. I guess no one wanted to be the first to make a mistake. Then he turned to Bianca.

"Miss Di Angela, care to live up to your brother's name and answer the question?"

"Say what?" said Bianca, clearly surprised. I was surprised too. During the summer, whenever people mentioned Nico's name, it wasn't always about something good.

"Oh yes," he said proudly. "During our 1st lesson, your brother showed me how a genius he is on 'Macbeth' when he helped Miss Grace with the same question."

Bianca and I looked at each other with surprise at first, but then grinned when he mentioned this Grace girl. Then I looked at Annabeth and her eyes where widened with shock and then a small smirk formed.

"Now Miss Di Angelo, can you answer my question?" Mr. Hikari asked.

"Uhhh….the 3 witches?" said Bianca nervously.

Mr. Hikari smiled "Correct. Now, moving on to the next scene."

But Bianca and I weren't interested in that.

"So who do you think this Grace girl is?" Bianca whispered.

"I don't know but I-" Annabeth cut me off.

"I think I know who Mr. Hikari's referring to. She's my best friend. I'll go ask him after the lesson. But-" This time Mr. Hikari cut her off.

"Miss Chase, please plan your dates with Mr. Jackson AFTER my lesson."

Both of us turned tomato red and the rest of the class laughed their ass off, including Bianca.

"We're…uhh…not…uhh…" I stammered but Mr. Hikari cut me off. Damn! I'm getting sick of all these people cutting me off.

"I'm not interested in your love life ," and with that he continued the lesson.

Teachers on my hate list so far: 2/5

For the rest of the lesson, whenever Annabeth and I would look at each other, we would blush furiously and look the other way. Bianca saw this once and winked at me with a grin, as if saying "I caught you looking again."

Then the bell rang. "Finally, I can't wait to talk to Nico." I thought.

Before I left, I heard Annabeth say "Hey Bianca, could you go talk to Mr. Hikari about the girl? Ask him if she had blue eyes and skull earrings. I can't face him after the….thing." She looked at me and blushed and I did the same.

Bianca happily obliged. When she passed me, she motioned her head towards Annabeth as if saying "Talk to her."

I sighed, took a deep breath and slowly went next to Annabeth, who was still packing.

"Hey…uhh. Look, I'm sorry for what..uhh..happened earlier. I didn't mean to..uhh..embarrass you." I blushed at the thought. Then I took out my hand and said "Friends?"

She looked at my hand, then at me and I swear I saw a hint of disappointment in her eyes. But then it went away, she smiled at me and shook my hand. "Sure."

At that moment, Bianca came back. When she saw us shaking hands, she raised an eyebrow at me and grinned. I let go of Annabeth's hand and turned to Bianca.

"So…Annabeth, is your friend named Thalia?" she asked.

Annabeth's eyes widened. "Yeah, that's her. So who's this Nico person? I bet he's really something if he caught Thalia's attention."

Bianca looked at me and we burst out laughing.

Annabeth looked confused. "Did I say something wrong?" she said, as we started walking along the corridor towards our next class.

"No…it's just..we know Nico," I said, in between laughs.

Annabeth gasped. "How? Is he a good person? Does he take advantage of girls? Does he know how to treat them properly? Does…" but I cut off her machine gun talking.

"Calm down," I said. Then Bianca stepped in.

"Nico is my twin brother and Percy's cousin. He's a wonderful person once you get to know him. But he can be a bit cranky. I don't think he takes advantage of girls and he treats me properly. Must take after his father."

I burst a laugh at that last comment. Bianca glared at me and Annabeth raised an eyebrow.

I looked at my watch and said "Shouldn't we get to class now?" eager to change the subject.

"Yeah, you're right," said Bianca, rolling her eyes. "So I'll see you guys at lunch. Annabeth, what class do you have now?"

"Greek," she said.

"YES!" I thought happily. But I still kept a normal face, even though a small smirk formed.

Bianca noticed this and grinned. "Then I'm sure Percy will be happy to show you where your class is. Have fun." With that she winked at me and turned down to a different corridor.

"Soo.." I said, trying to break the ice a bit as we went down the opposite corridor. "You like Greek too?"

She nodded shyly. "It's like my 2nd language."

I smiled nervously. "Me too. And I love all the myths and stuff. They're really cool." "And all true. But if I tell her that she'll think I'm crazy. Not a good 1st impression." I thought.

"Really?" she asked, clearly surprised. "You're the 1st guy I've met so far who actually likes Greek myths."

"Well you'll meet the 2nd one soon. He's Nico, the guy we were speaking about. He has it too."

Annabeth seemed to like this. "Thalia too."

"Hmm…that's great. I can ask Nico about her." I thought.

Then we turned around a corner and arrived at our class. I opened the door for Annabeth like a gentleman . she blushed a bit, said a quick thanks and entered. When I followed, I saw her sitting next to a black haired girl with electric blue eyes. That must be Thalia.

"Those eyes are very familiar…..oh well."

Then I saw Nico sitting on a desk not far from the girls, so I went to sit with him. When he saw me, his eyes lit.

"Hey Nico," I said as I went over and hi-fived him.

"Hey Perce, how's your day going?" he asked.

I groaned. "Math was torture, English a bit less. And speaking of English, care to tell why the teacher told Bianca that you're a genius in 'Macbeth'?"

"Oh that…" he laughed nervously. "I met Shakespeare last year and he told me about it. I got curious and asked him to teach it to me. We were in Elysium, so it was a nice place to learn."

I groaned. "Lucky you. And 2nd period?"

He blushed, then looked at Thalia.

"Oh and who's that girl?" I said in a teasing voice. "I saw you 2 going to the school pool. I guess you have swimming class together?"

He nodded. "That's Thalia Grace," he said, blushing a bit and looked away, trying to hide the blush. Too late!

"Congrats Nico. Give my best to the missus," I said sarcastically.

He spun his head towards me, gave me a glare and said ".."

I laughed and patted his back. "Sure thing man."

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Annabeth looking at me. I met her eyes and we blushed. Nico must've saw this because he raised an eyebrow, followed my gaze and then turned back to me with a devilish grin.

"So Percy, who's that?" he said, pointing to Annabeth with his head.

I blushed a bit and mumbled "Annabeth Chase." Then I saw him opening his mouth to respond but I cut him off and said "Don't try that missus stuff. That's mine."

He closed his mouth and pouted. I put on a winner's grin. But then he smirked and started chanting "Percy has a crush. Percy has a crush. Percy has a…." but I put my hand on his mouth and said "Shut up Nico." I practically yelled it because all the students turned their gaze towards us, even Annabeth and Thalia.

~Thalia's POV~

"Shut it Nico," someone yelled and I turned to see a guy next to Nico with a hand on Nico's mouth. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Annabeth. But she was still staring at them. I snapped my fingers a few times in front of her face. Then she looked at me and blushed a bit.

"What were you thinking about?" I said, curiously.

"N-N-Nothing," she said, but this made her blush more. Then I caught her looking at this guy again. Ding!

"You like him don't you?" I said teasingly.

Hey eyes widened and blushed again. "W-Who are y-you talking about?"

"That weird guy over there next to Nico." I said.

When I saw Annabeth's reaction to the word 'weird', I knew she felt something for him. Her eyes narrowed to slits and she took a deep breath. Signs of Annabethian danger! [yeah I made that word up :D!]

"1st of all his name is Percy Jackson. 2nd he is NOT weird. In fact he's quite charming, funny, cute…." But she stopped at cute when I widened my eyes and felt my jaw drop.

"Annabeth Chase you will spill or be forced to," I said.

She had some sort of feeling for him. The last guy she thought was cute was 4 years ago, but the jerk broke her heart and because of him, she seemed to have built walls around her heart and hadn't let anyone else since. Everyone at camp who knew about this worried about her because it wasn't good blocking your heart from everyone. But this Percy character seems to have caught her attention and if he's a good guy, he could help her with her love life.

She blushed and said "There's nothing to tell. We're friends. Besides…." She grinned and that's when I knew I was in trouble. "What about Nico, your Special Helper. Now that guy looks weird."

Ok….now my defenses rose. Which is weird because I don't like Nico like that.

"Nico isn't weird. He just has a different lifestyle like mine. He seems to be a good guy." I blushed a bit with that. I NEVER defend guys or gave them any compliments, so Annabeth was VERY surprised because she put her hand over her mouth. And I knew she was going to ask if there's something between us, so I cut her off when she opened her mouth to talk.

"No Annabeth, there is NOTHING between us. We just met and are friends. Unlike you and Percy," I said, smirking.

Annabeth blushed a bit. "No way. I barely know him. After what happened 4 years ago, I'm not trusting guys anymore. There isn't and is not going to be anything between us. We're just friends." She looked down, sad.

I was going to comfort her when the teacher entered. started the lesson with some advanced stuff for the class, but for me and Annabeth, piece of cake. Hmm…cake. I wonder if they have that in the cafeteria.

I was daydreaming about cake a bit when I felt someone staring. I quickly scanned the room but no one was looking at us. Then I looked at Nico's table and saw Percy trying to look at Annabeth. I caught his eyes. I smirked at him and did a small gesture with my hand as if to say 'Please, continue staring at her.' The gesture was similar to those you find in the movies where someone would say 'Right this way sir'.

Percy blushed and looked away.

"Hmm…this gut seems decent enough. But I have to know more about him because if he hurts Annabeth, not even father will stop me from killing him."

I looked at Nico and he had dozed off.

"Not a bad idea." I thought and with that, I copied him.

Well..that's it for now! Chapter 7 is in progress. This chapter was extra long and I don't think that there will be more chapters like this! I don't know why I let it be this long! Oh well! Plus I didn't have enough time to double check it and I really wanted this chapter off my hands! So SORRY FOR ANY SPELLING MISTAKES! Anywyas…
