Percy POV
I am so confused right know. What did I ever do to him. We were so close last night. I just don't know...
OK, so your pretty confused right now aren't you. Yeah, that's what I thought. Your not. I'm just gonna tell you what happened from the start of the morning...
Breakfast!
I was sitting alone in the dining pavilion, peacefully eating when Nico walked in, grabbed some french toast, and sat down a few tables away and started eating. Then he pulled out a scrap of paper and threw it at me. Oh yeah and then he flipped me off. He did all of that without even looking at me! You can't flip someone off without looking at them. Well, you can but it's just disrespectful.
"I'm not gonna open it " I told him loud enough so that he could hear me. He stopped eating and finally looked at me. " I don't expect you to " Nico said. His face looked like stone, he didn't move.
" Yes, yes you do." I told him in a soft voice. We just stared at each other, he blinked and then he got up. He came towards me and scowled. Now kids, this was a professional scowl, like Coach Hedge times, hmm, about 1,000,000 (for all of you weird people out there, that says one million). He stuck his face so close to mine that our noses were touching.
" I hate you ", that's all he said. Then he just walked away, he headed to his cabin and slammed the door shut.
OK, I admit it, I was mad. I thought that we were friends. Honestly I would never expect him to come up to me and say that he hates me. We were pretty close last night right?
So, at times like these all you can do is do what you said you wouldn't. I opened the note.
I wasn't very shocked at what I saw. It was note that I gave him the night before. I felt rushed walking to Nico's cabin last night so just in case I chickened out, I wrote a note. I wrote on it:You don't have to cry. You have friends, so don't hate everything. That does explain why he said that he hates me.
So, here you go. This is were I am in this story. Still sitting there motionless, as if my body forget how to move. Chills went up my back, up into my chest. My eyes started watering. No, not now. I told myself. I didn't want to cry right now. Not right here. So I go to my cabin.
The tears threaten to come out. I put my back up to the wall and cry. If you saw this scene you would cry to. My back was sliding down the wall, and soon I was cradling myself. If this is what I go through when I know that someone that I care about hates me then I can only imagine what Nico feels like. Him thinking that everybody hates him.
I manage to stop after about half an hour later. I march out of my cabin towards Nico's. Desperate to get his head straight. (Percy doesn't know how impossible it would be to try and make Nico think Straight, ohhh puns.)
Nico's POV
I thought that I would feel better after I did that. I don't. He doesn't know it but he has caused me so much pain and sorrow that he would faint if I told him.
I sit on my bed and star at my wall. I think about apologizing, but if I do that I would seem even more weak then I already am. I mean seriously, last night he sang me a lullaby while I was crying. If I say that I'm sorry he would think of me as a little brother instead of a demigod.
I kick the wall, but instead of felling better I only feel pain. Wow Nico, what are you gonna do? Call Percy and ask him to kiss it better?!?! I asked myself. Then at that exact moment my cabin door opened and I hear Percy's say "Listen Nico, all you do is hide, and you have to tell me why. Why do you hate me?"
Are you serious, well at least he's not kissing my foot.
Percy's POVP
"Listen Nico, all you do is hide, and you have to tell me why. Why do you hate me?"
Nico just sat there frozen with his mouth open, not wide but wide enough to let me know that he was shocked. Then he started laughing. Soon he was able to control it. But now I was the one with the confused and shocked face on.
"Hey, what's so funny?" I asked befuddled. (What a fun word)
"Oh nothing, nothing" He said stifling a laugh now. "Wow, if you were kissing my feet right now, this -this would have been fate".
Now I was getting uncomfortable, "Why would I be 'kissing your feet'? " Then he responded with "I dunno, urges?"
"What urges?"
"Powerful urges, I don't know"
"Powerful urges, why are they powerful?"
"Because they would have to be powerful, well at least I hope they be, I mean why would you come in here and kiss my feet, you would have to be under some major juju. Also what other urges are there?"
"Well, there is a lot of urges out there but some of them are to inappropriate for you Nico. You're to young for them. Then Nico cracked, I guess, he just didn't like it when people called him to young.
"Excuse me mister, I am way older than you!"
"How are you older than me, look at how small you are." I said obviously enjoying this. But Nico was on a whole different level.
"I'm 80 years old! How old are you, I'm so old that my memory doesn't work properly?"
"I'm 17" I said ashamed.
"Yeah, that's what I thought.Gosh no one here respects their elders!"
"Nico, your not an eld-"
"Shut up! Go take a nap and eat your cookies, you little baby!" Nico yelled at me, pointing his finger at me, and scowling. Seriously, how much did Coach Hedge rub off on this guy when they where traveling with the Athena Parthenos?
"Well I'm not the one fussing over nothing!"
"Why are you here anyway?"
"Oh yeah, why do you hate me again?" I asked him finally. He hung his head low, obviously not proud of saying what he did. "I thought that it would make me feel better, but obviously it didn't." I didn't understand what he was saying, I didn't understand how hating someone was supposed to make you feel better. It just didn't make sense to me.
"I-I just thought, I-I d-don't know anymore." Nico looked like he was in so much pain that I wanted to call the Apollo cabin.
Nico took a sip of his Unicorn drought. Then he pulled out a cereal box, or um... boxes. "What are those?" I asked Nico. "Lucky Charms and Froot Loops" He said, he sounded so sad that I wanted to hug him. But I decided that I had nothing against my arms, and that I didn't want them torn up. So I managed to keep my distance.
"Can you leave", that's all he said to me for the rest of the day. He went over to the Apollo cabin and Will was waiting, NIco handed him the Lucky Charms and headed inside the Apollo cabin.
Now I guess that the roles are switched, He's with all his friends and he's feeling loved, while I'm here, with no one, feeling lonely and sad.
I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm lost.
I'm broken.
I'm confused.
So confused...
