Daughter of Hades
Chapter 9 -Take What You Want-
[Sarah's POV]
-
The dance was tomorrow and we didn't have any classes. After first period the teachers had dismissed us to our dorms because everyone had been too distracted and obnoxious to learn.

I still didn't know who Thalia had wanted to ask. She hadn't asked him yet and even though I should've been happy she wasn't all over someone in front of me, I was still anxious to see who it was that she liked. Who in the school could have caught Thalia Grace's attention?

Percy had asked Annabeth, thankfully without any sea creatures involved. Nico had told me one of his ideas had involved riding a whale into the library and proceeding to say, "Whale you go to the dance with me?"

Piper had been dropping Jason hints all morning and I'd noticed him talking Thalia. He knew exactly what she was doing and he was waiting until she gave up to go in and ask her in a romantic, don't give up on us kind of way.

Leo had asked Reyna, Hazel and Piper and all of them had rejected him. He wasn't upset though, just disappointed that none of them wanted to join 'Team Leo', ("Come for the party, and stay for the hottie!")

I didn't blame them.

I was sat drawing in my bunk like usual. Piper was off chasing Jason around. Reyna was in the gym helping with the decorations again. Annabeth was off somewhere with Hazel, probably trying to figure out who her godly parents was, and Thalia was in her bunk.

I looked up from my drawing and saw Thalia staring at me. She didn't look away or apologize like people usually did when caught staring at someone. She jumped stood up and moved closer.

"Can I come up?" She asked at the foot of my bunk.

"Sure."

She climbed up. "Have you talked to Nico about your powers yet?" She asked glancing at my drawing. "I see you've talked about the Underworld."

"We haven't talked about either." I told her. My powers were the last thing on my mind right now. "I saw this in a dream and drew it. Nico told me it was real and asked me to draw his sister there." I showed her the entire drawing.

"That's amazing." She said and smiled.

I turned it back around and continued to put in the final touches. "So I noticed you haven't asked anyone to the dance yet."

She shook her head. "That's too much drama to worry about. I'm just going to go alone and hang out with friends."

"You can go with me." I suggested, then blushed. "As friends." I added quickly hiding my face with my sketchbook.

Thalia smiled. "Sounds cool."

I smiled back. Then I was suddenly aware that we were alone in the room. I stared at her, it wasn't often I got a good look at Thalia's face up close. She had freckles that dotted her nose and cheeks. Her electric blue eyes held hundreds of emotions in them, none of which I could read. And her lips...

I looked away before I did something I'd regret.

"Well, I should probably go check on Jason." Thalia said, breaking the silence. "Plus it's almost lunch time."

"Yeah," I sighed as she jumped down. "Lunch."

⚡️️🌊💀💍☀️🌑📚🔪🌾📦💗🍷

"I declare, that during this lunch we are forbidden to speak of the dance." I announced when Nico sat down next to me with his tray of pizza.

"Agreed."
