Okay 9 minutes until supper. Everyone started to exit the building to make it to supper, I stood there in front of Nico's door. My heart beating faster than normal, the butterfly's in my stomach going crazy, but I didn't know why. I knocked on the door, nothing. I knocked a few more times, nothing. I opened the door a crack and peeked in, Nico the son of Hades was lying down sleeping.
"Goodnight, Death Boy" I slowly exited the room, walking backwards I closed the door and started walking forwards. Not paying attention I walked right into Piper McLean, a daughter of Aphrodite.

"Oh h-hey Piper," I said trying to act normal.

" I just came to see Nico." She said I turned around and opened the door for her. She walked in I went to leave but she told me to come in. Their laied Nico sleeping, he was quite cute when he was sleeping. He sat in the chair in the corner of the room. I just started playing different scenarios of what could've happened on the way here.

"Will..... Will....... Will!" Piper was shaking me, I heard the bell for supper and got up. I left the room Piper following me. We walked to the Pavilion and sat down at our tables. I sat next to my two siblings, Andrea Rath and Daniel Seth. For supper I wasn't really that hungry, I ate half a sandwich and left and sat on my bed.

For the next 3 days I was always checking up on Nico, who aperently stayed asleep the whole time. On the third day I was freaking out it was 12:20 and I was pacing back and forth in his room not being able to wake him up. I was about to leave when I heard a groan and a yawn. I turned around and there laid a half awake Nico.

"Thank Gods you're alive!" He said I looked at him confused, he looked less stressed out, he continued. "Anyway, good morning Death Boy." I said with a smile. Nico was A very pale child, his messy, knotty and dirty black hair sat on his head covering his butiful brown eyes. He wore a black shirt with a skull, and black skinny jeans. He was the skinnyest person I knew, you could count his ribs just by looking at his mid section.

"Don't call me Death Boy Solace!" He slightly yelled at me. All I could do was laugh, Nico stared at me confused. I would have stared at me confused too. I didn't know why I was laughing but I was. When I stopped laughing the bell rung, so I grabbed his hand and walked to the pavilion for lunch. My face was a bright red, as I held the hand of the son of Hades.

For lunch I had a pizza with veggies. Nico had a sandwich which he only took 3 bites out of it before he went to leave. I got up and dragged him back and told him to finish it. He took 2 more bites and stopped eating. I didn't push him any more I finished my food and we walked back to the infirmary. He went into his room and sat down on the bed and picked at dead skin on his thumb.

I looked at the son of Hades, heart pounding, face still bright red. That's when it hit me, like a train speeding down the tracks. I Will Solace had a crush on Nico Di Angelo
