Stupid Thalia. Wasn't his fault he didn't know! One side of my mind said.
But, he just over-reacted. Percy's their cousin. She's just upset. Nico should go apologize. The second half said. They have been arguing for the past hour or so. I lost track after fourty-two minutes and seven seconds. I'm sorry. I was bored.
Well, Thalia is the one who over-reacted! Why do you even like her, Nico? The first side said.
Yeah. Why, Nico? The second half said. Is it just me, or do all peoples' minds talk to them? I sighed in frustration and sat down in the grass, which started to die.
I was sitting in a large field on top of a hill outside of camp. I found this place when I was first trying to shadow travel. I was trying to get to camp from the underworld, but I ended up here and since I was too tired to move, I crashed here. From here, you can see the whole camp. This is actually a clearing in the forest that surrounds camp, so monsters lurk in the shadows so I'm always alert. But, at the same time, this place is calming. This field used to be all green and beautiful, that was until I came here after the fight Thalia and I had. Now, most of the grass is a brown-gray color and the wild flowers that live here started to wilt. The trees are starting to lose their leaves and all the animals and insects have fled. I leaned back to look at the sky.
Why is it light blue? Why couldn't it be dark blue all the nime, not just at night? I think I'm gonna go apologize to Thalia. Wow. Stupid ADHD.
I shadow traveled to Zeus' cabin and knocked on the dark blue door. I waited a few seconds and knocked again, but this time was more urgent. No one came to the door. She wasn't there.
I began walking to the Hades cabin when I saw Thalia coming off the porch of my cabin. I ran over to her and she looked up and was opening her mouth to say somethig but I cut her off.
"Thalia, I'm sorry. It was a stupid fight. I shouln't have lost my temper. I'm sorry," I said all in one breath. She smiled and she did something un-Thalia like; she gave me a bear hug and I hugged her back. We stood like that for a few minutes until she pulled back.
"That's exactly what I was going to say," She said with a lopsided grin.
I should tell her how I feel now. She's happy and she just hugged me. I just know I need to tell her now. I thought.
"Um, Thalia? I need to tell you something." I started, fumbling with my hands and shuffling my feet.
"Yeah, go ahead." She nodded at me to continue. I looked her in the eye and began.
"Thalia, I really li-" I was interupted by the conch horn signaling lunch. We missed breakfast because of the meeting. "We need to go to lunch. Chiron and Mr. D won't like it if we're late."
She sighed and walked through the grass to the dining pavillion. This was the first time I really got a good look at her. She was wearing a black Paramore t-shirt and dark purple skinny jeans. She looked amazing.
"Come on, lover boy!" Annabeth said from behind me and I jumped. I didn't realize she was there. Annabeth knew who I liked because she was like my older sister and I told her everything. Or she would threaten me. Either one.
"Geez, Annabeth! Give me a heart attack, please," I said sarcasticly. She just laughed and ruffled my hair. "Hey, are you ok?" I asked, remembering the meeting. Apparently, she was thinking about the same thing.
"I don't know how I feel. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that both people I loved joined Kronos. I'm worried, Nico. With the powers Percy has and the powers Kronos already have, he could be unstopable." Annabeth said as she started walking to the dining pavillion. I followed after her.
AT DINNER, all the campers ate at their assigned tables. Of course, I sat alone. Every once in a while, I would look over at Thalia. I wonder if she ever glanced at me. I finished dinner quickly and shadow traveled to my cabin because I decided to blow off the rest of my classes to sleep.
I studied my room. Dark gray walls and a mud brown floor. Gray bed frames and black comforters. Gray bookshelves and black books. So dark and gloomy. Well, except for Bianca's journal. It was yellow and purple and it was her most prized possesion. When Percy told me she died, I ran to the Hermes cabin to get my stuff and I found that in her bag. I remembered reading it and I smiled. Then, I thought of Thalia. I thought of everything we did together, our good times and our bad. Then, I wondered if she ever thought of me at night.
Little did I know, Thalia was thinking the same thing.
