---------------A/N---------------
Yey 50th chapter and I'm not even done with a quarter of the plot ouo

I dedicate this chapter to GenBW001, who helped me with making the characters.

KHRISTINE'S POV
Date: July 21
Time: 1pm
Place: Mess Hall

It was an ordinary day. Same old shipping Turner. Same old Ash and Anna. Same old rude Gabe. Same old friendly Walton. Same old flirty Travis.
Same old Nico-out-for-my-blood.
That was until now.

The son of Hades walks up to where Arthur and I are arguing about the powers of Hermes kids.
I suddenly feel goosebumps, which I always do whenever Nico is being a dick to me. Which is whenever he's nearby.

He hasn't done anything yet, but despite it, I stop talking and look at him suspiciously.

He glares at me. "Chill, bitch, Timmy told me to give this to him."
Nico holds out a medium sized bottle of coke for Arthur. By coke I mean the drink, not weed.

"Who the heck is Timmy?" Arthur asks as he hesitantly takes the coke. "Do you mean Turner?"

Nico merely shrugs.

Arthur shoots me a glance and hands me the coke. "I don't like coke."

"I don't think Timmy would poison it," I say confidently.

Nico walks off.

"I'm not opening anything from Nico," he whispers to me.

"Well no way in hell am I." I hand the bottle back to him.

"No!" He hands in back.

"Nico has it out for me, not you!"

"Whatever." Arthur steps back.

I roll my eyes and head to the Aphrodite table, sitting down next to Timmy / Turner.
"Timmy Turner, what the hell is up with this coke?"

He swallows his food. "Timmy? Coke?"

"Nico said you said to give this to Arthur but I say that's bull." I place the coke in front of him.

Turner frowns. "If I found coke I would keep it for myself."

Arthur suddenly speaks from behind us. "Then why'd he lie?"

Probably because he's a Cocky Over-bitch Kill Ewie.
Turner shrugs. "One way to find out."
Without warning, he suddenly turns the cap of the bottle AND

Nothing happens.

Then something lands in it from behind us.

I turn around to see Nico standing far off with a few small ice cubes in his hand. Gross, but, how'd he throw so well?

Turner frowns at the small object floating in his drink. "It's an ice cube..."

Arthur squints at it. "There's something round inside it."

My eyes widen. "That's a fucking mentos."

"Where'd he get all this from?" Turner asks curiously.

"That's not the point! I'm just gonna-"
Before I can get up, the ice melts in a corner and the coke explodes.

Turner shouts and a radius of five metres around us gets drenched in coke. Which means around ten Aphrodite campers.

I wipe my face and blink. The acidic death liquid didn't get in my eyes, but that doesn't seem to be the case for Arthur.

"ARGH MY EYES BURN LIKE TARTURUS!" He shouts.

Turner shakes his head vigorously and he groans. "My hair..." his black hair hangs damp over his eyes.

I turn around and see many campers, including Nico, laughing.

Arthur blinks a few times. His eyes are blood red. He scowls at Nico and storms up to him.
"What was that for!? Someone could have gotten hurt!"

"I already got hurt!" Shouts Turner.

The area calms down a bit and everyone turns to Arthur and Nico.

"It's called a prank," Nico says coldly. "You were too stupid to see it."

"Well was it worth getting an entire cabin riled up against you?" Arthur says angrily.

An Aphrodite kid was crying. "This sticky stuff will take hours to come off!"

Turner pats her back sympathetically.

"Apparently." Nico smirks.

Mumbling, a few drenched campers head off to their cabins.

"Well way to ruin a great lunch!" Arthur growls.

I pick at a lock of my sticky hair. Poor things. I don't think I'll even wash them properly. But well Turner probably won't hang around if I smell like carbon AND coke AND human odour.

"Calm down!" Will heads towards the arguing boys.

Turner gasps. "Solangelo~~~~~~" he whispers quietly. "Will's gonna wash up his poor baby~"

I raise my eyebrows at him.

"I mean- I am sorry about your button situation, but gurl Will is gonna beat you to him."

"I don't care," I roll my eyes. I really don't care. Why bother with something I can't control?

Nico turns to Will. "What do you want?" He asks in a neutral tone.

"I want you to stop fighting before you get hurt!" Will says.

I can only imagine Nico's response.
'Fuck off Solace!'
'Tough luck, you don't always get what you want.'
'I can take care if myself!'

But you know what he does?
HE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE GODSDAM SCRIPT.

"Whatever," he mutters and he walks off.

"Hey!" Arthur shouts. "I'm not done with you!"

Nico turns around to give an angry response when the air suddenly grows cold. Arthur glows grey and a skull floats above his head.

"Either that means he's gonna die, or that he's Nico's bro," I say quietly.

According to Nico's look of outrage, it's the latter.
"How can a bastard like you be my brother!?"

"Probably because you're a bastard like me!" Arthur says sassily.

Well dam.
