hey guys so in this story Nico and Will have been dating for like two months and based on that scene from Ten Things I Hate About You where Bianca punches Joey so yeah if you don't remember that scene rewatch the movie or watch it for the first time.
MATURE LANGUAGE!
Will's POV
I had been dating Nico for two months. Every moment with him was so amazing. Even if we fought which were for silly reasons. But that's not the point.
There was this guy. His name was Aaron. He had just came to camp and was claimed by Ares immediately after knocking down some guy in the on the rock climbing wall. That didn't even make sense. Point is this guy was a jerk. A bully.
Now this Aaron guy had an army buzz cut and black hair. He had these dumb black eyes like he'd been punched a lot and didn't know where he was. He was about the size of Tyson, Percy's cyclops brother and I'm not exaggerating. This dude was huge.
Anyways, I was walking with Austin around the camp when we saw Aaron and Sherman talking. Well Aaron was doing most of the talking. For once Sherman didn't have that intimidating look on his face but one that looked like disgust really. As if his face was saying, what's up with this dude.
Me and Austin walked past them, complaining about Harley stealing all the Marvel bandaids when we heard a bit of their conversation but it was just enough for me to get pissed.
"What about that Hades kid? Isn't he dating that Apollo kid with no real talent? Heh that Apollo kid just sits in the infirmary doing nothing. That hades kid could do so much better. Like me for example," dipshit said.
I felt my ears redden. My face heated up. I stopped walking and so did Austin. Sherman and bitch walked away.
"Dude don't listen to that guy. He doesn't know what he's saying like most Ares kids." Austin said, trying to calm me down. "Now let's head to the archery range and practice with Kayla. She's there already anyways."
"Oh yeah so I can embarrass myself cause I have no real talent."
"Will they just say shit like that so they can feel better about themselves and their stupid life's. Now come on."
LATER
Nico's POV
It was lunch and Will and his siblings were nowhere in sight. I was worried since they were never late for lunch but decided to start eating anyways. I was glad to be able to eat without feeling disgusted or guilty. I used to not be able to eat without thinking of Bianca. How she would never be able to experience eating a food again or ever trying it.
But then I heard some laughing coming from the Ares table. The laughing had been coming from that new kid Aaron and only him. His siblings just sat there eating silently for the first time in like forever.
I knew they were speaking from a distance but the thing about being fluent in multiple languages is that you develop good ears.
Anyway he was saying, "So that hades kid's older sister died and that's why he's all emo and depressed? That's so wimpy. What a wuss." He laughed again.
The ground shook at my feet. I suddenly didn't feel hungry anymore. I got up and dumped my food into the nearest trash can and stormed off toward the Hades Cabin before the dead started rising at my feet.
I wouldn't let him get to me. Not yet anyway.
LATER
Will's POV
It was dinner and Nico was sitting next to me at the Apollo Cabin. Kayla was talking about getting a new bow but all I could focus on was Nico next to me. He seemed so tense but I couldn't put my finger on it.
