I'm Special

Mine!!

Chapter 28(Alex's POV)

Percy glares at me. I sit there glaring back at the innocent dagger laying in my hands. Carefully, as if it were a baby, I place it on the table. "Shoo!!" I whisper yell, waving my hands in a shooing motion. The dagger slowly dissolves until it soon becomes a harmless puddle on the marble table. I look up beaming, feeling a bit accomplished at the new discovery that is my powers.

Percy seems to have intensified his glare, "Rub it all in my face, why don't ya?" Then he gets up from the bench and stomps away, a glare still present on his face. I didn't have the courage to tell him he was going the wrong way, so I let him be....and forced Nico to tell him.

The table became gloomier after that. Nico is already gloomy as it is, but with my downcast mood...I felt so down in the dumps. I give a heavy sigh, Nico glances at me but does not say a word and that makes me inwardly deflate. I mentally slap myself and scoff. I need to get myself together!! What would he have done?? Comfort me? He's just a friend. Even with these claims, I still had a teeny itsy bitsy crush on him. I mean, who wouldn't! But, he probably doesn't like me.

I get up from the table, my thoughts giving me slight headache. I mumble a goodbye to Nico, mumbling some other thing to myself and I head to the direction of the Poseidon cabin. 'Cause I'mma take a very long nap.

Nico's POV

Alex has a very....complex personality. One minute she's innocent, not knowing what the fuck my 'itching' really was, then the next minute she's cursing like a sailor with mouth diarrhea. It's really...I'm not really sure how to feel. I watch as the dagger slowly forms in her hands, she sighs and looks up at us and then back down. I roll my eyes, she is such a drama queen.

"I honestly don't know what to say anymore." She says looking at the dagger blankly. She doesn't look surprised anymore, so I guess she's used to the drill. Soon, she drops the dagger onto the table and shoos it like a fucking animal. My lips twitch upwards in an effort to smile, but I restrain myself. However, Percy doesn't look too pleased about the party trick, "Rub it all in my face, why don't ya?" He stomps away after yelling at neonata. I suddenly feel the urge to slap myself. She doesn't need someone like me to ruin her and taint her. I clench my jaw as I try to fight and push my thoughts of her away, then I hear a sigh. I look towards her to see her glossy lips in a pout, I look away. I can't afford to get distracted. I'll hurt her.

She starts mumbling on and on, talking to herself and it makes me a bit worried. I was about to ask about her, when she gets up after mumbling a goodbye and stumbles towards the cabin. I run my hands through my hair and stomp towards the camp barriers, I'm going to the only place that calms me down. A club, The Underworld. Ironic, I know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The familiar buzzing feeling is all that keeps me going. A few girls come to hit on me, but I ignore them. They get the message and leave, but somehow Alex still stays on my mind. Her cute dimpled smile, her pout and gods,....even the way she fucking skips into the pavilion. My blood boils at the thought of someone else taking her. I'll fucking slit their throats. I start my journey back to camp, everything is blurry but I still find my way. I stumble into my cabin, instead of seeing my normal isolated single bed, five bed sit at the corners of the cabin. I shrug, it doesn't directly affect me so I don't care. I walk to a random bed and collapse onto it.

As I land on it, it squeaks and shifts. I glare at it and shuffle, trying to find a comfortable position. Alex's head pops out and I blink at her. I give an aggravated sigh. Am I so drunk, that I imagined Alex in my bed?

"What are you doing in my room? Laying on my bed?" I question her. She looks at me, with her jaw wide open. She doesn't respond after a few moments so I tap her cheek, and question her again. "Your bed? What in SpongeBob's pineapple is going on? This my bed, that is in my cabin. Get your own!! It's mine!!" She exclaims, leaving me wide eyed for a second.

It's just a damn bed!! Damn woman loves her sleep!

I raise my hands in surrender, still a bit tipsy and sleepy to argue. I quickly take off my shirt, leaving her speechless once again. I chuckle and crawl in next to her tense figure. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling unable to find sleep.

"Alex?" I randomly call out to her. I get a hum in response and I take it as a sign to continue.

"We're friends right?" I ask nervously. Well, that's a first. Whipped, most definitely.

"Yes, Nico," she answers. "Best friends." I sigh grabbing her by the waist quickly and I bury my face in the crook of her neck. I sniff her neck and she tenses more. I'm about to ask what's wrong, but she relaxes. I sniff her neck again, and this time she giggles lightly. I fall asleep happy, the thought of being friend zoned makes me furious but I'll make her want me.

She'll be mine.
