The Blood Of Olympus Spoiler:
Nico studied his face-his sea green eyes, his grin, his ruffled black hair. Somehow Percy Jackson seemed like a regular guy now, not a mythical figure. Not someone to idolize or crush on.
"So," Nico said, "Since we're going to be spending at least a year seeing each other at camp, I think I should clear the air."
Percy's smile wavered. "What do you mean?"
"For a long time," Nico said, "I've had a crush on you. I just wanted you to know."
Percy looked at Nico. Then at Annabeth, as if to check that he'd heard correctly. Then back at Nico. "You-"
"Yeah," Nico said. "You're a great person. But I'm over that. I'm happy for you guys."
"You…so you mean-"
"Right."
Annabeth's grey eyes started to sparkle. She gave Nico a sideways smile.
"Wait," Percy said, "So you mean-"
"Right," Nico said again. "But it's cool. We're cool. I mean, I see now…you're cute, but you're not my type."
"I'm not your type…Wait. So-"
"See you around, Percy," Nico said. "Annabeth."
She raised her hand for a high five.
Nico obliged. Then he walked back across the green, where Will Solace was waiting.
OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, THE FEELS OF THAT. I GOT THAT FROM MY FRIEND WHI FOUND THIS ON G+ SOMEWHERE AND REPOSTED IT. I ACTUALLY HAD TO TYPE THE ENTIRE THING ALL OVER AGAIN, BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON IT WOULDN'T LET ME COPY IT, BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT. NICO CONFESSES. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
(AND YES, AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT CAME FROM THE REAL BOOK. IT ACTUALLY WAS A PHOTO SO SOMEONE MANAGED TO GET A COPY OF IT AND YOU CAN SEE THE PAGE NUMBER AT THE TOP AND EVERYTHING,- MAYBE WHOEVER GOT IT WAS A RELATION OF RICK'S OR SOMETHING?)
Dear Mortals,
Wait, what just happened?
(WARNING: YOU HAVE TO READ ABOVE TO GET WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS CHAPTER. GO READ THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS SPOILER THINGY)
Nico just said he liked you, duh.
Yeah, but WHAT? I didn't- my gods,-
I guess you're just a likeable person. I can agree.
But how,- but what,- how can you be so calm about this?! You're my girlfriend, Annabeth!
I know that. But I'm also a child of Athena, so therefore, I am wise enough to know that Nico was telling the truth when he said he was over you. Also, I've suspected for a while now that he's homosexual.
And you didn't tell me?!
Yes, but I had a good reason. For one, you are freaking out. And I didn't know it was you he liked until now.
I AM NOT FREAKING OUT.
…Keep telling yourself that, Percy.
I AM NOT FREAKING OUT. I AM NOT FREAKING OUT. I AM NOT FREAKING OUT. I AM NOT CONFUSED AT ALL. THAT WAS ALL SO CONFUSING!
Someone please remind me why I like Percy again?
Sincerely,
Annabeth and Percy, who is NOT FREAKING OUT
