A Different Reality (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chp 64 - Nico's POV

Before Nico could inform the girl he was doing it alone, she continued to talk while standing up to leave the class with the rest of the students.

"You forgot your adress? Fine, I'll find my own way to get to your house, and I'll text you your adress so you don't get lost"

She started to walk away, just to stop after a couple of seconds and turn back to him with a smile.

"Oh, and the name is Lucy, in case you haven't figured it out"

***

Nico was on his couch, ignoring the third time the bell was ringing.

Maybe she'll give up.

That would spare us some trouble.

His phone lit with a text from an unknow number

?: Nanni, I know you're in there.

?: Nanni.

?: Are you really going to pretend you can't hear me ringing the bell?

?: Or the beep from my incoming texts?

?: Fine, if that's how you wanna play, let's do this.

What does she means?

I don't know.

?: Just so you know, this is all you fault. You want me to be the bad guy?

What?

?: Fine, now I'm the bad guy. I really didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice.

What are she going to do?

Break in?

?: Nanni?

?: Knock knock.

?: Do you want to build a snowman?

?: Come on, let's go and play.

Please tell she's not going to text us all the lyrics.

***

After 23 bell ringings, and 54 texts (with all the lyrics), Nico gave up and opened the gate for her. She was smiling, with her hands joined behind her.

"Hi, do you have a moment to talk about Jesus?"

"... What?"

Her smile dimed.

"You don't know how to play, do you? Fine. Do you know how to be polite and ask me to go inside?"

"Hum, fine. Do you want to come ins..."

"Yes, thanks!"

Nico slowly close the gate while looking at the colorful and skipping figure getting inside.

What's her problem?

Maybe this is some kind of trap?

We'll keep an eye on her.

***

"I know what you need in your life"

I know too. For you to LEAVE.

It has been three hours! Doesn't she have anywhere else to go?

"And I know exactly how to help you get what you need"

Just walk out the door.

And forget about our existence.

"You need color. And music. And light!"

"I like black, silence and darkness"

She ignored him.

"It's late, I think I'm going home now"

FINALLY!/FINALLY!

"We'll talk again on Friday"

"What? Friday?"

"Yes, we have two classes together on Friday, see you there!"

She left his house and left him behind, dumbfounded.

What was that?

I have no idea.

I don't know which one was weirder, this day or her.
