Nico

I couldn't help but watch Percy across pavilion. He sat tightly beside Annabeth with his arm swung around her neck, and as she talked he stared intently at her lips almost as if he was begging for a kiss. Real classy Jackson. You had to be completely oblivious to not notice that Percy Jackson was definitely in love with Annabeth Chase. They were cute...I guess. I mean, they've been through quite a lot. I can't help but be a little mad though. Everyone congratulated them for surviving Tartarus together but everyone also seems to forget that I was in Tartarus alone. I didn't have anyone to help me. I was stuck, scared and helpless...but that didn't matter. I'm an outcast, and no one recognizes an outcast, even if that outcast saved camp by using all his strength to shadow travel a huge statue half way across the world.

I was quickly shaken out of my thoughts by a familiar voice

"What the fuck is up di Angelo"  Leo practically screamed while running towards my table. I looked over his shoulder to see a big dumb blonde skipping just behind Leo. Jason.

Leo and Jason are my two bestfriends. We're practically inseparable except for when I want to be alone, which is very often...I like being alone with my thoughts...and the darkness. Leo and Jason are the only two people at camp who can really get my good side out. They can get to me to sing and dance, everything you wouldn't expect the son of hades to do. No really, name anything and I bet Jason and Leo can sucker me into it. I don't mind stepping out of my comfort zone for them, but I will never, and I mean never...do anything for anyone else.

Leo followed my gaze and noticed I was staring at Percy. Jason quickly picked up on it too. They're the only two people who know I have a crush on the son of the sea god.

"Ugh will you focus Nico, and stop staring at sparky green eyed, perfect, son of Poseidon" Leo teased.

"Shut up Leo. I bet he's looking at Annabitch and planning on how to kill her so he can have waterboy all to himself" Jason said smugly with a grin spreading across his face.

Annabitch was a nick name we'd given Annabeth around the time I started to get jealous of her and Percys relationship. It didn't mean any harm towards her, she's a great girl...a little stuck up and bossy...but overall a great girl. Other then the fact that she a fling with the love of my life. They aren't official, but it sure as Hades did look like it.

"Both of you shut the fuck up or I will personally kill you and summon you to the fields of punishment where you will suffer under my fathers wrath." I snapped, turning my head to face the two grinning idiots sitting in front of me.

Jason giggled and Leo slapped his arm and whispered "shut up Jason I think he's serious" which made me smile with delight. It was fun scaring my best friends. They knew the power I held.

"Anywayyyyy" Jason said. "Leo and I are holding a dance party in my cabin in approx 10 mins" he said in a very trashy British accent. "And we were wondering if our oh so lovely ghost king would like to attend" he said with puppy dog eyes.

"Only if I get to choose the music. I just made a new playlist and it's called sky, fire and death" i smiled as I said the name.

"That name is absolute garbage" Leo laughed practically falling off his seat. "But fine see you in 10" Leo yelled as him and Jason skipped off to go set up the speaker and lights. "How am I even friends with these idiots" I chuckled to myself.

I was almost finished my dinner when a tall figure sat on the other side of my table. I looked up and was met with beautiful sea green eyes. Percy fucking Jackson  was sitting at my table.

"What's up ghost princess" he smiled as he said the name.

"It's ghost king, so watch yourself." I replied and Percy just laughed. Little did he know I was being serious.

"What are you doing after dinner?" he asked

My heart did a flip.

"Oh, I actually have plans with my dorks" I responded. Percy looked confused.

"Who?" Percy asked with confusion in his eyes.

"Leo and Jason" I smiled.

"Ahh okay makes sense, I'll just ask annabeth then." He said with a frown.

I had been percys first choice. My heart was beating out of my chest. Why had Percy asked me before asking Annabeth? A million questions clouded my mind.

I debated throwing out my plans with Jeo for percy, but I decided to stay true to the pact. Bro's before hoes. Even if this hoe was Perseus mf Jackson.

"Catch you later ghost princess" he winked, before he got up and started to walked away. Even though his back was turned I could tell he was smirking. What a smart ass.

"ITS GHOST KING" I yelled so the whole camp could hear me.

And with that, I set off to meet my best friends in cabin 1.
