The New Girl

Just in case you don't know, (n/n) will mean nickname. If you don't have one, then use your full name xD sorry

Nico looked at the girl and smiled at her. Strange...

"Hey, (n/n) This here is Leo Valdez." The girl was visibly confused, and asked an amusing enough question.

"Okay... not to be insensitive or anything, but, the dead one?" Piper smiled at her.

"That's the one," she said. I extended my hand out to her.

"Pleasure to meet you, I'm the late Leo Valdez. Now alive and breathing." she shook my hand and suppressed laughter.

"(Y/n)," she said, "(y/n) (l/n)," when our introduction was over and Jason and Piper got over the high of me being back, they suggested we go tell Chiron that I was back. Percy led the way with Annabeth, Jason and Piper stuck to me like they were afraid I would disappear, Hazel and Frank trailed on our heels, and farther back were Nico and (y/n), laughing and talking the most out of the others. This was new to me, Nico opening up so much to someone. I was glad he'd found a friend, but jealous that it was this pretty girl.

Jason spoke, telling me about what had happened while I was gone, Piper too. When we arrived at the Big House, Chiron greeted me with a big smile. we sat around the Ping pong table and I recounted my adventures with Calypso, with a hint of sadness in my voice. (y/n) looked at me with sympathy, and I returned her smile. At lunch time, Chiron dismissed us.

As we walked to the pavilion, the conversations were fewer. Only Nico and (y/n) talked with the same enthusiasm as from before. The initial excitement had worn off and then we were back to the way it always was before, everyone else with their special someone, and me alone. I should've expected it, because you know what they say, history repeats itself, no matter how recent. so imagine my surprise when (y/n) came up to me and offered me to sit with her for lunch. I quickly agreed and minutes later we sat across each other, plates in front of us.

"So, I thought I'd invite you so maybe we could get to know each other a bit. I'm relatively new here, and I've already heard a lot about you." she said, smiling at me. I couldn't help but grin.

"Not all bad, I hope?" I joked, she laughed. She had a really cute laugh. the way her (h/l) (h/c) hair fell in from of her face, covering her warm (e/c) eyes. I could learn to like her.

"No! Of course not! But then again, people tend to sugarcoat stories about the deceased," she winked at me. I laughed at her comment, making a face for having mocked me. "They've told me some pretty funny stories, too. I hear you're a jokester?" I narrowed my eyes and smirked at her, a mischievous look on my face.

"You'll have to find that part out by yourself."
