My computer keeps having problems! It just keeps shutting down at random times! I swear sometimes I just want to throw the computer across the room. I can't even go on it! UGHHHHH! Does anybody know about computers?
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson. That's why I'm on this sight! Duh! xD
Chapter 11- NICO!
Gabby's P.O.V.
I stormed into Percy's bathroom. I splashed water over my face as someone came in. Blood washed down the drain.
"It's me, Annabeth." I turned and looked at her.
"Yes?" I asked her. She walked over to me. "What happened out there?"
I shrugged. "You all found out I have no family. Yippee," I said sarcastically. Annabeth frowned. She sat down on the toilet. "What do you mean?" I sighed. I knew she was gonna ask that; it's Annabeth.
"When I was ten, my dad got killed. I was—"
"By a monster?"
I shook my head. "By some guy he was in debt with. I was put in an orphanage and got adopted. You would think that my life would be good?" Annabeth raised an eyebrow.
"That's it?"
"No, my adoptive parents got killed by a monster. I forgot which one. So I have no one to lean on. Well, if you count Chiron but I would rather not get close to him. The horse man scars me." Annabeth chuckled. Annabeth came over and gave me a hug.
"I went through the same thing. Well, sort of. I ran away because I thought I wasn't wanted. But, my family and I are good now," Annabeth told me. Ugh, this feels awkward. We just kind of stood there.
"So…"
"We should go back."
"Great idea Annabeth." Jun then I heard the guys laugh over something. Boys. I walked out and the laughter stopped. Connor gave me a cooked grin.
"Do you want your ring back?" Connor asked me. I looked down at my hand. It was gone. My dad gave that to me.
"How did-GIVE IT BACK!" I yelled. Connor threw me my ring. I caught and put it back on my finger. It matched my dress perfectly. Yes, I'm still wearing the Aphrodite kid's makeover clothes.
"Are you gonna tell us what happened?" Matthew asked. I nodded. I told them the whole story.
"Wow," Travis said after I finished. "That sounds depressing." I rolled my eyes.
"Gee, thanks Travis. You are such a caring friend," I said with sarcasm.
He grinned. "Why thank you Gabby." I glared at him.
"Didn't you notice my sarcasm?" I asked him. He shrugged. I shook my head and rubbed my temples. "Why do I even hang out with you people," I muttered.
"HEY! I heard that!" Percy yelled. [Yes, Percy's hair is still red.] I looked up at the sky. "Help me!" I pleaded.
Nico's P.O.V.
This was boring. I felt like I was on a talk show. I felt like someone was going to say 'Now Mr. di Angelo, what's your story?' I was thinking of the next dare…or truth. We need to go somewhere else. I ran out of camp dares. I got an idea. [This is going to be sooo OOC for Nico but I had to make him do this for the story.]
"Everyone hold hands," I said. Everyone looked at me weirdly.
"Uh… are you feeling okay Nico?" Percy asked. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm fine. Everyone hold hands and close their eyes." Connor gave me a weird look.
"Nico, this kind of seems un-emoish to me," Connor told me. I gave him a look.
"Why does everyone think that?" I yelled.
"Well, you do dress in black, you are pale—"
"Connor?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut the Hades up."
"Okay, I'll stop talking." Connor said.
"Everyone hold hands and close your eyes," I repeated.
Annabeth gave me a look. "Nico why—"
"JUST DO IT!" Everyone jumped at my voice. Everyone looked at each other and held eyes. Most of them closed their eyes. I closed mine and thought, 'THE MALL!' I felt my skin being peeled off (not really). The shivers happened and so did the darkness. I opened my eyes and saw that we were at the mall. Everyone opened their eyes. "NICO!"
Connor's P.O.V.
Nico brought us to the mall! The mall!
"Why did you bring us to the mall?" I asked him. He grinned.
"To play truth or dare," Nico said as if it was that obvious.
"That's why you wanted us to hold hands!" Gabby and Annabeth exclaimed at the same.
"Well, yeah. It was either that or a group hug," Nico told us.
"That would have been weirder," I said. We went inside the mall and walked around. Guys kept looking at Gabby. Well, she was still in her makeover outfit. She grumbled under her breath.
"Gabby, I dare you to go up to go into a store. If someone asks you for help cry and scream 'Why don't you people just leave me alone'," Nico told Gabby. I couldn't help but laugh. Gabby told Nico something in French and went into Hollister. We were watching from across the other side, hidden by plants. An employee walked up to Gabby.
"May I help you?" Gabby looked at the persona and started crying.
"Why can't you people just leave me alone?" Gabby shouted, crying into her hands. The employee looked at Gabby weirdly. Other people were staring at Gabby. Gabby looked at the people staring at her.
"Didn't your mothers tell you that it's impolite to stare at someone? STOP STARING!" Gabby ran out of the store. All my friends were laughing. Gabby glared at Nico.
"Happy di Angelo?" She asked him. Nico shook his head laughing.
"Great performance Gabby. I think everyone thought you were crazy," I told her.
She glared at me. "Don't get me mad Stoll, I'm running out of places to store bodies." I stopped laughing. Part of me knew she wouldn't do that and the part of me says she would. Yay.
REVIEW! What did you think? Fave line?
