Special thanks (again) to- you guessed it- DragoNik! *Applause*

PEOPLE WHO THINK THIS STORY SHOULD BE IN THE AU SECTION ARE WRONG BECAUSE THE TITAN WAR NEVER HAPPENED SO NONE OF THE CAMPERS HAVE DIED!

I'm back from Camp Tockwogh and here with a new chapter! Camp was a lot of fun, and I found out that I'm pretty good at archery even though that was my first time picking up a real bow with real arrows. Hmm... maybe... naw.

Anyway, CHAPTER TEN!

Tlalia,

I can't do it! Can we please just tell everyone that we're dating?

Nico

I took the paper and ripped it out of the note book.

No, too strait forward. Maybe I'll try to be softer? You know, like beating around the bush?

Dear Thalia,

Hey, you know, I was thinking yesterday. I know, I know, me, Nico Di Angelo, thinking usually equals disaster, right? Well this time, I don't think this thought could do that much damage. Now I'm sure you'd like to know what I'm thinking.

I was thinking that we could go public. Maybe, just act like a couple in public and just wait until everyone catches on that we're dating. Is that alright?

Please think about it, for me.

Love,

Nico

That sounds so out-of-character!

I grabbed that piece of paper and ripped it out of my note book, too. Then, I angrily threw it in to the trashcan and sighed in frustration. I flopped down on my bed.

Why me? I thought. For the past hour, I had been trying to write to Thalia that we should tell everyone that we're dating. I nearly spilled the secret when I over heard someone talking about her. When I tried to defend her, that guy asked why I was so protective of her. And I said, "I'm protective of her because I lo- because I'm her best friend along with Annabeth," ans I'm pretty sure you can all guess what I was about to say. I really want to tell people, but I don't want to hurt Thalia because people might make fun of her and I don't want that to happen.

Why am I turning into a cuddly care bear? Well, I shouldn't be worrying about that, maybe I'll wait until after Kronos attacks and tries to take over the world. Anyway, I should be practicing.

I pushed myself off my bed and streached. When I opened my eyes, my vision went fuzzy and darkend at the edges. I staggered backwards and latched onto one of the bed frames so I could get used to standing. Then, I carefully walked over to where my sword was and scooped it up into my hand. I slipped into my black and white checkerd Vans and trudged to the training arena to work until dinner.

At the arena, Beckendorf was slicing through training dolls poor heads. I walked up to him, (loudly so he wouldn't be startled and try to slice me head off. He hardly ever misses so I had a good reason to be careful) shouting his name.

"Hey! Beckendorf! Wanna train?" I said, stepping into my battle stance. He turned around after he slashed the last dummy.

"Yeah, sure, Nico." He answered and got into his starting pose.

We battled intensly until dinner, when the conch horn sounded

Okay, I'm so sorry. This chapter is terrible and it suck terribly... I know that so don't review just to tell me that. I'm REALLY sorry... and there might be spelling errors... don't tell me. Something bad happened so I'm out of it. Anyway, I'm really sorry and I'll try to update soon.

On the bright side, I should get at least 100 reviews! :) Please don't flame me!
