Nyssa was insecure. She wasn't cheery like the Apollo girls, or skinny like the Aphrodite girls, or amazingly smart like the Athena girls. She was just, Nyssa, nothing special.
Sure, she could build almost anything, but that wasn't exactly a quality boys looked for in girls. Nyssa was actually considering joining the Hunters, she didn't think she'd ever get a boyfriend, until she met him.
Will Solace was pretty much every girl's dream. He always, absolutely always, looked like he'd just walked off the cover of a magazine. He had a perfect tan, from spending hours in the sun, strong arms from plucking bowstrings day after day, and a beautiful smile that melted her heart, and when he kissed her, Nyssa's Brain went on overdrive.
Maybe, she thought, maybe my life isn't so bad after all.
