What did I just do? That's the question I keep asking myself as I lie in bed. Of course, it's a stupid question. I know what I did. I helped a friend. I just feel... weird. I dunno. It's like my stomach is doing gymnastics routines. The next morning at breakfast, Nico seems happy. Yeah, I know, "Nico" and "happy" don't really belong in the same sentence, but it's true. He's walking at a pace that should not be possible with his short legs, he's actually smiling for once in his life. It's weird, but hey, I'm happy he's happy. Annabeth is giving us both strange looks, but she just grabs my hand and doesn't ask. I run a thumb over her palm, finish my breakfast, and head to the arena. I need to take my mind off of this. I pull out Riptide and start slashing at a dummy. Two minutes later the dummy is ripped to shreds on the ground, and Chiron is glaring daggers at me. "You're paying for that." "Yeah, I know. Sorry." He trots away, and I notice Nico is staring at the mangled dummy. When he sees me looking at him, he stands up and heads to his cabin.
