Chapter 3: Wrong bottle, Wrong Bottle….
We walked out of the cabin and went separate ways. She headed for the lake while I started towards the infirmary. I found Will tending to a sick Grover. I mean seriously! You the lord of the wild for crying out loud! How do you get the twenty four hour flu. I shook my head trying to clear it of all thoughts except Will. I walked up to him and said the most heroic, most graceful, most elegant…. Ok! I just said, "Hi!"
Will turned to look at me in surprise before his expression relaxed like he was getting a back massage. His eyes misted over a little. I think It was working. Will actually liked me. Me! I was giddy with happiness. Will stares at me for a minute before grabbing my hand and walking to another room with me. Will closes the door a turns to me. "Nico, I know that from when your from they frowned upon this and all, but I really like you. like , like like you. I understand if you don't-" I cut him off mid sentence by pressing my lips to his. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I broke apart from him so I could breath. His eyes flashed pink. Wait, what. Maybe it was a trick of the light. "Nico. Will you go out with me?" "what do you think me kissing you was about. Of course I'll go out with you." I said. His eyes flashed pink again. Ok. It definitely wasn't a trick of the light. Will leaned in and I thought he was going to kiss me again. Instead he started kissing the spot where my neck meet my shoulder. I gasped in surprise as will started gently biting me. I felt his hand move from my waist to my hips and start putting his fingers into my pants. I gasped and quickly pulled away. "What are you doing!" I said, exasperated. " before you moved away, trying to make love to my boyfriend." he stated. My eyes widened. "What! Why!" "Because I love you and want to be with you." He said stepping forward and going back to nibbling my neck.
The door opened as I tried to pull away again and Connor Stoll walked in. his eyes widened when he saw us and said, " sorry for interrupting! I was just looking for trav-" he never finished his sentence. The second he looked at me his eyes flashed pink. Oh gods no. "Nico, I really like you. Would you go out with me?" he asked. I stared at him in horror. The potion was only supposed to work on one person, and that was will. But it wasn't supposed to make him want to have sex with me. Or Connor to fall in love with me. My eyes widened more as I understood what was happening. Oh gods, oh gods,oh gods! I had used the wrong potion. I wasn't giving off love mist. I was giving off obsession vapers. I tried to run but Will had grabbed me again. Out of desperation, I said, " Connor! If you hold Will back I'll go out with you." his eyes flashed pink and he grabbed hold of Will and pinned him to the wall. I ran out the door and found the Infirmary full of people. Everyone turned to me as I bust through the door. As soon as I stopped a flash of pink flew across the room. There was a chorus of, "Nico, I love you! Will you go out with me?" afterwards everyone turned on each other and there were yells of, "he's mine!" and, "I saw him first!" I ran out of the infirmary and headed back to the Aphrodite cabin.
I saw Drew and ran straight at her. She looked up and saw me. "Hey Nico, how'd it go. I've got no takers yet but-" she was cut off by the sound of thundering feet behind me. "Drew! Hide me!" I got behind her just as everyone ran out of the infirmary. I thanked the gods for my skinniness. I was perfectly hidden behind Drew. "Hey. He went that way." said Drew. she didn't even have to charm speak them. They all just shouted, "I'm coming Nico my love!," and ran in the direction she pointed. When they were gone she turned to me and said, " what happened?" I gulped in breath and clutched my knees. "The wrong bottle! I used the wrong potion!"
