We have to read a packet with six articles in it for Geography about different subjects that related to culture (Inspirational quotes from black leaders, a debate about whether Islam is more violent than other religions, piracy in China, etc.) and write a paper about it for Geography. So I started it in class and gave my first paragraph to the teacher, and I literally started the paragraph saying "I believe that some of these documents lack an opposing viewpoint on the issue that it talks about." And then I went on to talk more about the biased viewpoints of the article (Don't get me started on the one about Islam because it was SO BIASED) and whatnot. So the teacher started talking about how one student was like "these papers need an opposition to what they're writing about" and he was like "yes she's got it" and I think he was talking about me and he's one of my favorite teachers so I just kinda got excited (I was going to correct him on my gender bc I'm genderfluid but hey what can I say I got caught up in the moment)

CHBcamper52: *revives you* Wait that says fangirls not faints whoops
UnderworldPrincess17: Yes that line is perfection. When I first saw Hiro I actually thought he was Nico at first and was on the verge of calling Disney and telling them about copyright laws until I realized. And thank you! I most certainly will!
Snowfiregirl21: Nico so sassy he got them Shakira hips to go with that sassiness. BUT HE IS PRECIOUS AS WELL *hugs Nico and dropkicks all others away into next week until Will rips him out of my grasp* Also my Drew is getting better yay. NICO WITH CUT HAIR AND HIM BLUSHING WITH WILL ACTUALLY SLAYED ME I SQUEALED WHILE WRITING THAT SCENE ASHUAUI. Haha yes I only write fics I do not know how to real life.
Will: *ignores your advice by dodging everything*
Everyone: GDI Will.
Now to get back to your review(s): Ah yes that chapter was fun to write, this chapter I literally pulled almost everything out from thin air. All the gods simultaneously ship and bet on them except for Hades (so far). Yup that's how you spell it I'm sure. And that was the most canon I've written those gods actually. I flail when I see Big Hero 6 like my mom was watching "Dancing with the Stars" and she fast-forwarded through a commercial for Big Hero 6 and I was like "MOM NO WAIT GO BACK" and she gave me a weird look but played it anyways. Also your dad is amazing. AND ILY TOO AHHHHHHHHHH
Moonshroom420: They dead.
A. : They dead-dead. Apparently Dakota wrote that and no one has no idea why. Ah yes the tension that is Dionysus and Ares. I know a little of what happens which means I need to get off Tumblr before it gets completely spoiled lol. I want a Baymax actually. I can't really judge until I see it though, which I have a feeling will be over Thanksgiving when my dad's mom and her second husband are here (my dad's parents are divorced). Aww yiss. Omg why be thankful for this story I'm gonna break all your feels at some point lol.
CreCra: Hiro is now mini-Nico everyone
Nico: We aren't even the same race
Hiro: He's white and I'm Japanese
Me: DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE
Solangeloftw: All funny, all the time. But this won't help you sleep though and I've been in that position so many times bro like you have no idea. And thank you!
Randomdomdom: "The Kingdom of Random" is your next one isn't it. Children of Hermes are the best except when there's Leo. Cecil lightens up all situations! And of course Connor and Travis would lol. Nico was (cough and is cough) my PJO crush. Although I'm getting attracted to Reyna and Piper and Calypso (also I think I had a bit of a crush on Rachel at some point frick). I'll just say that I'm attracted to all female Percy Jackson characters and leave it at that. I don't even have a favorite lol prolly Poseidon. And yes we must appreciate that. I'm like so used to that dynamic now lol I have so many things to blame (Fred and George, Nico and Bianca, Homestuck in general…). I have a Tumblr so I can't judge lol. Also I looked up the plot of Homestuck before I read it and I don't mean a synopsis I mean down to every last detail and the comic was around four years old at the time so the plot was LONG and afterwards I had a headache and had to lie down. I need to write longer chapters but school and my new askblog and life in general bluh. Oh well at least it's funny. That line is one of my favorites lol.
Percy: Percy what are you doing don't read my story DON'T READ IT but yeah Hiro is Nico basically BUT DON'T READ THIS I HUMILATE YOU IN THIS PERCY
BalletBookworm: Or a blessing, considering which god you're talking about. And thanks! Think it was the first time I wrote him, too…Yes there is a blonde god lol. Eee I try lol. "Never trust technology," say the demigods of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, along with the wizarding students of Hogwarts. "Never."
Disclaimer: Rick Riordan could never write the amount of sass that I wrote in this chapter.
Chapter 12: Talk to the Camp
"Hey." Nico leaned his arm against one side of the doorframe, while Will leaned back against the other with his arms folded across his chest. Neither boy was smiling.
"Hi, Nico!" Percy waved, until Annabeth swatted his hand down. His grin turned into a grimace of pain.
"So. Chiron knows now." Nico pushed off from the doorframe and walked into the room, hands stuffed in his pockets. Jason was almost sure he was somehow channeling the ghost of Dean Winchester, what with the little "tough bad boy" thing he had going on, except there were two problems with that: A. Dean wasn't dead, and B. He was a fictional character. Then he wondered if Will found Nico's current attitude attractive. He told himself to shut up and focus on what was going on.
Speaking of Will, he had followed Nico into the room, silently glaring at anyone he made eye contact with. Jason was afraid he was on Will's bad side now, which was always a nasty place to be. He'd heard the tales of Will in the infirmary, and had even seen him in action a few times. He could stab you with a knife and claim that his hand slipped from fatigue because he had to treat so many others before you and quite possibly get away with it.
"I'll just leave you guys to talk in peace. Please try not to kill each other," Chiron announced, already starting to clip-clop towards the door.
Jason jerked his head up. What?! He was just leaving them to the mercy of the two boys?! "Uh, sir-"
But the door slammed shut, and Chiron was gone.
The room stayed silent for a beat or two, until Nico turned from the door where he had watched Chiron exit and yelled, "Are you fucking INSANE?!"
"My mother had me tested."
"Leo, I'm being serious."
"So was I."
Nico glared at Leo, who put his hands up in defense and exclaimed, "What?! How else do you think she knew that I had ADHD?"
Nico just sighed and ran his hand through his hair. Jason still wasn't quite used to his forced haircut, but he had to admit that Nico looked great. If Jason played that way and he was single, he would totally go out with Nico. But he didn't, he had Piper, and he was trying to get Nico with Will anyways. Although he had gotten everyone to back down a little after talking with Nico. Well, it hadn't worked out that well, but still.
"Just…Seriously. Back. Off. I already asked Jason to tell you guys to."
"I did, Nico, I'm just not sure how long that message stuck with some people," Jason defended, and some of the campers in the room had the decency to look sheepish.
"I told my cabin!" Clarisse cried.
"We told ours!" Katie and Lou Ellen swore.
"Mine is on a tight leash after the haircut incident," Piper promised.
"My cabin was told!" Kyle claimed.
"My cabin wants nothing to do with this," Hansika announced. This wasn't really news to anyone.
Connor and Travis looked at each other.
"Did you tell them?" Connor asked.
"Did you?" Travis retaliated.
"I thought you were gonna tell them!"
"I thought you were!"
They both turned as one. "Our cabin semi-knows!" they chorused.
Will snorted and rolled his eyes, the most he'd done since entering the room. "Seriously? You guys are hilarious!"
"Thanks! It's in our blood!" Connor exclaimed as Travis dipped into a quick bow. Will narrowed his eyes but didn't say more. Huh. He had been pretty moody lately. Ever since Halloween, come to think of it. Jason was definitely going to have to ask about that later. Not in interest of the club, of course. Well, maybe a little bit. But mainly as a friend, because if Will was being less of a happy-go-lucky sarcastic flagpole (he could be a flagpole if he didn't want to be a doctor, actually) than he usually was, then something was definitely up. But not right now, though, now was far from a good time.
"Yeah, well, try telling your cabins again. I've found many things slipped under my door the past few weeks, and I'd rather not discuss what they were, exactly."
The room suddenly felt really awkward.
"And the infirmary door too," Will added. "Also, some people have been going in there and harassing me about it when I'm trying to work, so if you could tell them that the next time they do that I will hunt them down with a syringe full of Greek fire to inject in them, that'd be great."
Everyone nodded, with a chorus of "yup" and "we will!" going around the room, along with one or two people making a note of that with a pen on their arms.
Nico sighed, obviously relieved. "Seriously. Please try to quit it, at least." Jason knew that Nico could've said that better, since everyone was just going to point out that Nico said "try," when he obviously wanted them to stop completely, but Jason was going to focus on the "try" part as well, and he hated being a hypocrite.
"Okay! Now that that's out of the way! Hang on, I'm thirsty, and there's soda in here for once, thank the gods." Will picked up a Coke and twisted it open, and Jason realized all too late what was about to happen to him.
"Um-" was all he could get out before fizzy, bubbly brown liquid exploded into Will's face.
Some of the campers released nervous giggles, while the Stolls just grinned cheekily. Lou Ellen gasped and cast out her hand, muttering an incantation in Ancient Greek as green tendrils of mist surrounded it. The tendrils shot forward and wrapped themselves around the Coke spurting out of the can, pushing it back in. The tendrils shot back to Lou Ellen and she collapsed back on her stool, but the damage had been done: Will's hair was now dripping wet with the sugary liquid, along with his face and the majority of his tank top. Even parts of his shorts had not escaped the blast. He stared unblinkingly at the can, until he sighed and threw it at the Stolls, who yelped and ducked.
"You. Guys. Think. You. Are. So. Fucking. Hilarious," he said through gritted teeth before picking up a paper towel roll on a side table, and proceeding to use it to wipe off his face. Everyone started laughing at that point-even Nico released a few chuckles-and Will scoffed at them, but smiled as well.
"You okay, Lou?" Will asked once the giggles had died down.
Lou Ellen waved a hand tiredly. She hadn't laughed as much as the other campers when the giggles had really been going, Jason realized. "Fine. A bit tired. Exerting my powers too much, and not enough sleep."
Will frowned. "I will put you in bed rest."
"I know."
The somber spell of the room had broken, and campers were beginning to ease up, a few sidebar conversations starting. Hansika got up, shoving her sharpener in her dress pocket, and walked up to the door to open it and leave, which reminded Jason.
"Hey, you guys wanna go now? There's that thing me and Annabeth need to finish…" Jason said.
"Sure!" Piper spun around and stepped lightly off her stool, being the picture of sophisticated grace that only Aphrodite children could be. Jason took her hand and she laughed, swatting playfully at him. "I don't need any help!" she scoffed.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to be sure." Jason leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Piper snorted and leaned in towards his mouth so she could kiss him properly, and he obliged.
"Get a room!" Someone squawked, and they broke apart to see their friends grinning at them.
"We could say the same about you and Calypso sometimes, Leo," Piper grinned.
Leo spluttered. "I-what-"
"Oh, let's just go!" Nico grumbled.
"I agree, with my best buddy Nico!" Percy pulled Nico into a side hug, and the younger boy yelped.
"Percy, please don't," he muttered.
Percy winced and let go of him. "Ah. Sorry. Just should've tried to help with getting everyone to quit harassing you and Will sooner."
"Apology accepted, but the next time you apologize, please don't hug me."
"So we cool?" Percy gave a thumbs up.
Nico rolled his eyes, but nodded. "Sure."
"Awesome!" Percy linked arms with Annabeth, who thwacked him upside the head for being "such a Seaweed Brain," causing him to "OW!" and rub where she had hit him, complaining about having to sport around a huge lump on his noggin for the next few days and a half. She just scoffed again, but with a smile on her face. They started chatting and walked towards the door.
Jason laughed and turned to face Will. "You com-"
The words died on his lips as he noticed that Will was currently trying to bore eye-shaped holes into Percy's back. Jason was actually surprised that Percy's shirt literally wasn't catching fire, which was how intense Will's stare was.
Jason shivered. What had Percy done that had gotten Will so mad at him? They've never really talked much before the whole Solangelo business had started, but certainly Percy had never done anything in those rare interactions to upset Will, had he?
Someone grabbed Jason's arm, jolting him out of his thoughts. He yelped and jumped nearly five thousand feet in the air. He could've, if he wasn't under a closed ceiling, actually. But that was beside the point.
Olive green eyes stared up at him. "You okay?"
Jason sighed. It was only Piper. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm good."
She narrowed her eyes a little. "Are you sure? You seem…" She put her index finger on her bottom lip. "…Surprised, for some reason."
Jason scoffed. "Me?! Surprised?! Well, surprised at the whole Coke thing, still."
"If you say so."
Jason grimaced, hoping it didn't look like one. He hated having to lie to Piper-she knew he was lying, though, it was obvious-but he wanted to talk to Will himself. He didn't want to sound sexist, but it would probably be better if Will vented out whatever frustrations he had to a guy instead of a girl. Jason seemed to be the only candidate, because Will had something against Percy, Leo was not to be trusted, and Frank wasn't here. Well, there was also Cecil and Nico, but Jason wanted to do this himself.
"Alright, let's go!" Jason tapped Leo on the shoulder, disturbing whatever conversation he was having with Nico. Over what, Jason wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
"Hell yeah! You coming, Will?" Leo turned around to face Will, and his grin faltered. Jason looked up to see why.
Will was still glaring at the door, but Leo's voice seem to jerk him out of his thoughts. "What?"
"We're going, big guy. Look, the room's nearly empty, except for us!" Leo gestured around. Indeed, Piper, Jason, Leo, Nico, and Will were the only people left in the room. "You okay, man?"
Will scowled, which didn't look right on his usually smiley/smirky face. "Fine. I'm fine. I am completely and utterly fine! I just want to go somewhere, shower to get all this soda off of me, and then burn these clothes so all the soda is gone!" he snapped. Then he saw everyone's shocked expressions and sighed, his features softening. "Sorry, guys. All the pestering in the infirmary, it…was kinda leaving me high-strung. Didn't mean to take it out on you."
"It's okay." Nico walked over to Will and patted him reassuringly on the shoulder, although he nearly had to stand on his toes in order to do so. "But Leo's right, we gotta go."
"Okay then!" And then Will turned immediately back into Mr. Sarcastic Sunshine. "Let's go on an adventure!" Nico groaned and said that he didn't want to, but Will only ruffled his hair and laughed. And it felt like everything was normal again. Leo cracked a joke about adventures too, while Piper laughed and Jason scoffed. The five demigods left the room, chattering inanely, and split up almost immediately to go their separate ways.
But Jason wasn't about to forget Will's little personality change back there, oh, no. He was definitely going to figure out what was up, and fix it as soon as he could. As of now, he'll just have to find a way to talk to Will alone.
A/N:
Have you heard of procrastination? I'm quite the expert on it lol. That and getting colds whenever the season's first cold front rolls in *sneezes*. Winter ily but my bedroom floor is littered with tissues and I'm tired of having to pee all the time bc I drank a lot of water.
When will Solangelo learn that they will never not be tortured lol
I wrote Nico in the hottest position ever at the beginning oh lawdy
And not much to complain about, other than Doctor Who because the season finale left me a wreck lol
And Homestuck
Oh my GOD Homestuck
Plus me and my dad were driving home from church listening to the radio when all of a sudden "Never Gonna Give You Up" started playing and I groaned and my dad asked me what was wrong and I had to explain what a Rick Roll was to him.
Nicely played, SiriusXM. Nicely played.
And yes I go to church and yes I write fanfiction. "Church" and "fanfiction" should not be in the same sentence in my opinion but whatever.
Also I wanna write one-shots for my Percy Jackson OCs now I started one for Alex and I have an idea for one for Lexi lol (they won't be funny though mostly serious)
