BPOV (Bianca's Point Of View):

Nico sits on the bed beside me, raising an eyebrow.
"So? What's bothering you?" He asks.

I take a deep breath and close my eyes for a moment. When I open them again, I see Nico is still staring at me and quickly look away. This is so wrong...

"I met somebody." I eventually say. Nico motions for me to continue, so I decide to just put it out there. "Her name is Thalia. She's a servant here, and-" I see Nico's shocked expression and falter.

"I-I really love her, Nico." I blush.

He looks at me like he's seeing me for the first time. I know what he's thinking. I'm the perfect example, the model daughter, and now he's releasing that I'm not as flawless as I always seemed.

"I know I'm supposed to marry Will, but I just don't feel anything with him! We don't click, we have nothing in common... I don't even like guys." I laugh hollowly. Nico is still staring a y me uncomprehendingly.

"Please don't hate me." I whisper. Nico seems to snap out of his daze, shaking his head and blinking rapidly.
"I don't hate you." He says gently. "I-I understand... I have a crush on a guy." He blushes, averting his eyes. "But.. He'll never like me back. He wouldn't be able to be with me, anyway."

Me meets my eyes and smirks. "So... Tell me about Thalia."
"Where do I start?" I sigh, sounding like a love-sick teenager. Well, I am a love-suck teenager. "She has short, spiky black hair and electric blue eyes. She's a few years older than me. She looks really scary, but she's actually really nice..."

I see Nico smiling and stop. "What?" I turn bright red.
"Nothing." He shakes his head, smiling. "It's just nice to see you happy."
