Started as a Mistake: Never a Mistake (book 2)

Chapter 5

Author's Note: I am seriously one of those people who love piling their work on themselves then complain. Like I am currently writing 2 stories, and working on one on the side, and writing oneshots that'll release who knows when, and juggling school life. Why do I do this to myself-? Anyway hows everybody? Hope all is good! Also I think that this book may be a little shorter than the first one with maybe around fifteen to twenty chapters, less or more. Anyways enjoy<3

Percy's POV:

    I miss Nico. I miss spending time with him. His laugh, his soft fluffy black hair, his big doe eyes...All I want to do right now if hold him tight. "Percy?" asked Kio asked waving his hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my thoughts and replied, "Huh, I mean- Yes?" Kio laughed and said, "Its your turn to take the breath holding test." "Oh right," I said before jumping into the pool. "Okay, one, two, three...go," Kio counted. I submerged under the water and held my breath. This is pretty easy, I dunno how but its like I'm a fish. Probably because I watched Finding Nemo and Finding Dory millions of times. Wait no that doesn't make sense. I came above surface, afraid that maybe they'd think I died. "Fifty-seven seconds, not bad," said Kio as I got out of the pool. "Remember everyone tomorrow we have a serious competition, I don't want to see any slackers today," Kio said and everyone else cheered. Time to work hard.

Nico's POV:

*Timeskip to tomorrow*

   What do people wear to a swimming competition? I had no idea so I decided to wear black jeans, with a black shirt, and a brown plaid button up on the top. I somewhat brushed my hair but I like it messy so I messed it up again. "Going somewhere?" asked Dad from the kitchen cooking pasta. "Yeah, Percy has a swimming competition today, what kind of pasta are you cooking it smells great," I asked. "Its one of your mom's recipe," Dad said smiling. "I miss her," I said looking down. "I do too kiddo, but she's always with you," coming over to give me a hug. He wrapped me into a hug and I melted into it. "I know. You should take Percy to their graves when you're ready." "Yeah," I replied and left since I was getting late.

  I could hear people in the swimming pool, and ran in to find the place packed. Percy saw me and waved me over. "Hey Neeks," he said hugging me tight. "Do good out there little fish," I said chuckling. "You know it," said Percy winking. I went to find a seat and found a good one on the top. I played games on my phone while I waited for the competition to start and it did a little after. 

*Timeskip because I have no idea what happens at swimming competitions*

   "We won!" Percy said running towards me. I pull him into a hug but then realize that hes drenched and now my clothes are wet, and we burst into laughter. I miss laughing together like this. "Let's go celebrate!" I said cheerfully. "Yeah lemme go get dressed," Percy said.

Percy's POV:

  "Hey Percy? We're celebrating the win by going for pizza together, wanna come with?" asked Kio. "Ah no thanks, maybe next time, my boyfriend is waiting for me," I replied. "Oh no worries, you did good out there by the way," said Kio with a smile. "Thanks," I replied. I got changed into my shorts and put on an orange t-shirt. (A/N yall thought I'd forget that orange shirt?) "Ready?" asked Nico. "Yep!" I said, "Lets get ice cream!" I said. "You're adorable," said Nico trailing behind me.
