Yikes. Chapter 5 was quite horrible. -.- And I'm sorry for that. So, right now, like while I'm typing this, the internet is out. It's like that for some reason. So that probably means I'll get more ideas. You'll learn more about Louis, Rick , and Carmelita soon. But for now, we'll move back to camp. Please PM me if you want anyone's POV, just don't choose Officer Johnson. I know nothing about that guy. xD So, I hope you like this chapter.
Disclaimer: Last time I checked, I had no money. The only things I own right now are my OCs and the plot. /sobs
Alexis POV
So I had a conversation with my head for a while. This is pretty much how it went:
Me: Curse them, curse Travis and Connor. Curse everyone who knows about Nico. Curse ME for having that bloody nosebleed!
My head: Aww, but Nico was sooo cute! Did you notice that he wasn't at breakfast today?
Me: Shut up! Stop thinking of Nico! You have more important things to do, Alexis! Stop it!
My head: I hope he's coming for lunch…
Me: Stop it! Stop it, you stupid head!
My head: Why are you blaming me, blame the ADHD! Ah, Nico…
Me: Argh! Stop it right now! I own you! And I order you to stop!
My head: Ahh… his beautiful obsidian eyes… his messy black hair… his olive-pale skin… *_*
Me: Stop thinking about him!
But my head got the best of me. I had another nosebleed. I was already frustrated. I hated it when I had crushes. It would be even worse if my mom was here. I can just imagine her 2- month litany. I shook my head and laughed. Travis and Connor came, no, stormed into the room. "Lexi…" Travis growled. He and Connor looked like the freaking Minotaur. "WHO'S STOLEN YOUR HEART ALREADY?!" They both yelled. They ran up to my bunk and started asking questions about my love life and my crush. I held up my hands. "Shut up, you two! I'll tell when you calm down!" I yelled at them. They were breathing heavily. "We were just worried," Connor said. Travis nodded. "If this guy turned out to be a player—" Travis said, but I cut him off. "Nico's a player?!" I said in shock. No way. No freaking way. Then I realized my mistake. I mentally slapped myself in the face. Connor and Travis, on the other hand, were quiet. "You…you like… Nico?" Travis asked slowly. Connor's mouth started moving, then all of a sudden…
"AAAAAAAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA!" was the only thing I heard for the past 5 minutes. Travis and Connor started catching their breath. There were tears in their eyes. I glared. "It's not funny, you two." I said. "Sorry.. we just can't believe that you would have a crush on Nico," Connor grinned maniacally. So did Travis. Uh-oh. I knew that look. I crossed my arms. "If you guys think you're gonna prank Nico, you'll have to think twice about that," I said. They held up their hands and shook their heads. But they still had that look. I raised an eyebrow. "Whatever," I said and walked to the door. When I opened it, Piper from the Aphrodite cabin was grinning with a few of her sisters. My eyes widened. I turned to Travis and Connor. They were holding up voice recorders in their hands. Piper grabbed me and brought me to their cabin. They pushed me down on a chair and were looking at me like I was an experiment. They started fixing my face and hair. After a LOT of grunts and yelps, they spun my chair around. I looked at the mirror. I looked…. way different. My hair was tied into a bow, and I had makeup on. Oh, the things my mom would say. "What is this for?" I asked. Piper smiled. "Nothing. Just for…." She cleared her throat and they started snickering. I stormed off to my cabin. Travis and Connor were holding something that looked like walkie-talkies. I started stomping to them. Then I bumped, scratch that, crashed into someone. "Oww.." I muttered under my breath. "Sorry.." the person muttered. I grabbed a hand, and got up. I rubbed my eyes, not caring if it messed my eyes up. I opened them, and I found myself holding hands with Nico di Angelo.
Hades' polka-dotted underpants, was all I thought.
Nico POV
I sat next to Mrs. O'Leary. Jake Mason and Leo Valdez from the Hephaestus cabin were smirking. I raised an eyebrow. People barely came up to me like that. Most were creeped out by me. "Yes..? Can I help you with something?" I asked, very very curious to their behavior. Leo grinned. "Beautiful day, isn't it, Nico?" He said. Jake smiled. "Can you follow us, Nico?" he asked politely. I shrugged, and they grabbed my hands, both holding one. I tried to let go. They wouldn't budge. "We have to make sure you don't run anywhere. Sorry," Leo said. But they both didn't look sorry. They continued to drag me. I even gave them my death glare, they flinched a little but the still held on. We were almost out of the forest, when I shadow travelled somewhere near a cabin. I wasn't looking, so I crashed into a girl. She looked like an Aphrodite girl, but she didn't seem worried about her clothes or something. "Oww.." she said. "Sorry." I held my hand out, and she grabbed it. She rubbed her eyes, which of course is one thing Aphroodite girls didn't do. I heard snickering and I saw Connor and Travis on their cabin's porch. I turned to see who's hand I was holding, and I couldn't believe what I saw. At all. I was holding hands with Alexis, the girl I had a massive crush on. I started blushing and let go of her hand. She was beet-red. "Uhm… hi?" I said. Well, it sounded more like a question rather than a greeting. "Hi, Nico.." she said quietly. She really was red. Travis and Connor ran inside their cabin. I looked at her and used all my willpower not to blush. "Your face is a mess." I pointed out. She smiled. "Do you know somewhere I can wash my face? Somewhere besides the showers? I don't feel like going there in this state." She blushed a little. "Uh…sure.. follow me. There's a creek somewhere near the forest. We can go that way, if you like." I said as plainly as I could. She nodded. Her hair jiggled a little. I found that cute. "Sure." I led her through the forest. Some of the nymphs were snickering, and some were grinning like crazy. Weird. They don't usually act like that when I'm around.
Oh.
Alexis was with me. She looked really pretty, even though she was a little dusty. And messy. We reached the creek and she started washing her face. Her face was clean, but she missed a spot on her cheek. I wet my hand and wiped it off. She blushed a little, but she smiled. She untied her hair. It was dirty blonde, and it looked soft. I noticed some of the nymphs squealing. They were pretty loud. I shook my head and smiled back at her. She blushed even more. She laughed sheepishly. "Sorry… it's just.. I've never been alone with a guy before. My mom practically forbids it." She chuckled a little. I nodded and smiled. "Wanna go to the Arena?" I asked. "Nah.." she said, and sat down in front of the creek. I sat down, too. "So… what do you wanna talk about?" I asked her. I really was not good with girls. She brightened up. She reached in her pocket and got her iPod out. "I asked the Hephaestus cabin to make it monster-proof." She said. She typed in her password, whatever it was, and played a song. It sounded pretty familiar. Then I remembered. It was 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams,' by Green Day. She hummed along, and I noticed the content on her face. She was so beautiful—gods-damn it, ADHD! "I can relate to this song," I suddenly said. She looked at me. "Why?" she asked. "I'm alone most of the time, and I don't really have a mortal family. Just Hazel, and—" I stopped. She looked concerned. "It's okay if you don't have to tell me, I mean… we just met this morning," she said, smiling. I smiled at her. So pretty… I thought. I tried not to blush. I noticed the song ended. I cleared my throat. She got up, dusting off the dirt on her shorts, and I noticed a naiad's hand from the creek pull her ankle backwards, and she fell.
On me.
And our faces were only centimeters apart.
She was about to lean in, but we heard a really loud squeal. We turned to see Juniper, Rachel, and Annabeth staring at us. But they were grinning like mad-men. Or in this case, mad-women. Alexis got off me quickly, and we were both really blushing. I looked at the naiad, who was looking very triumphant. "Sorry about that," Alexis muttered. "I-it's fine." I said. Juniper was jumping up and down, and I noticed she was holding a camera. Annabeth cleared her throat, still grinning, and stepped up. "You two. It's movie night tonight. Uhm… we'll see you guys." She turned and ran off with Rachel and Juniper. Alexis turned to me. "I'll see you soon, then. Thanks for the company." She said, still blushing. I nodded. She ran into the forest. I shadow-travelled to the Hades' cabin, and collapsed on my bed, Thinking about how we almost kissed.
A/N: Eeeee! Hope you guys like that! Sometimes I act like a TOTAL Aphrodite-kid. So, as a reward to all you great readers, I will move to Movie Night! :D In Grover's POV! We have not heard from that man—er, satyr, for a while!
Grover POV
I played my reed pipes, which caused a little rain to pour on the strawberry fields. I got a tin can and ate it. It was starting to get dark. Juniper came up to me and gave me kiss. "Come on, Grover. We're going to Movie Night." She said, dragging me to the wide open space with a huge screen. She looked pretty excited. I saw Alexis sitting between Travis and Connor, who were snickering. I waved at her. She waved back. Juniper and I took a seat next to Percy and Annabeth, who looked pretty excited. "Why are you guys so…. Anxious?" I asked. It was the first time I ever used a 'smart' word. "Sssshhh! The movie's starting!" Juniper whisper-screamed. I stared at the screen. 'A Camp-Half Blood Production', it said. Now I was getting interested. Snickers were heard, and so were giggles. It showed a video of…. Oh Hades no…
It was a video of….
Nico.
And Alexis.
I watched carefully. I wanted to see how this turned out. The both of them were talking, and I could imagine Nico and Alexis' jaw dropped. Yup. I saw it. Both of their jaws were dropped. So after a few talks near the creek, Alexis got up in the video. I noticed a hand coming out of the creek. It yanked Alexis' foot, and she fell. On Nico. A lot of Aphrodite kids were squealing. Piper was grinning. Everyone watched intently as Alexis leaned in. Then the screen blacked out. Alexis and Nico looked like they were about to faint. Chiron got up. He cleared his throat. "So…. That was an unexpected…. Scene… Uh, let's get to the movie, shall we? And as a punishment, to whoever, showed this, we will show a movie you will ALL love. Enjoy." He winked at us. I wondered what he'd show. The screen started showing World War Z. And I bet no one loved it. Nico looked like he wanted to punch something. Some of the Aphrodite kids barfed. I felt like barfing. Even Juniper. When it was over, Clarisse shouted, "AWESOME! I LOVE THAT MOVIE NOW!"We all went our cabins and slept.
Sorry movie night sucked. But I have watched World War Z. It's actually pretty cool. But I admit, I was freaking out lol. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! Review please! I love you guys! And thank you to everyone who read this! 3 3 3
