After a few months of staying at Nico’s house, I had slowly gotten used to my mom not being here and Nico being able to hear my thoughts. Although, I still miss her and wish that she was still here, life went almost back to normal. Almost.

Nico and I were walking home from school in the rain, when Nico looked over and noticed something.

“You're not wet!” I didn't think twice about what he said because I thought that he was just trying to get my mind off my mom.

“Stop joking around! I'm not in the mood,” I replied irritated.

“No really, you're completely dry! Look at your sleeve!” I glanced down at my sleeve, and realized that he was right. m My sleeve was completely dry. Not a single drop of water was on it and yet, Nico was stoaked from head to toe.

What is happening. Maybe the bo… The bomb! My eyes widened in realization.


“What about the bomb?” Nico asked with a curious look.

“When the bomb exploded I was trapped in the water. Maybe, the bomb infused water molecules in my blood cells when it exploded,” I explained as we walked up the steps to the house.

“Well isf that's the case than… Do I have special powers?” Nico asked as he unlocked the door.

“Not sure, but I gets we will find out in time. Oh, and you can't tell anybody about our powers”

“Why not?” Nico asked eyebrows scrunched up as he looked at me, then turned towards the kitchen, “Mom, we’re home”

“oOk honey, dinner will be ready in twenty” Persephone called from the kitchen. “Percy, your brother is sleeping over at a friend's tonight.

“Ok” then turned to Nico, “Because if anybody finds out that we have special powers, they will turn us into the government and experiment on us.”

“Oh, okay…what if it was just Hazel?”

"Maybe when we find out more about our powers first”

“Fine, now take out your math book,” I frowned and sighed as I took out my math book.

“I was hoping you would forget about it.”


Nico:

I looked at Percy has he hiove red over his math book. Eyebrows scrunched as he tried to figure out the problems for his homework and couldn't help but think of how cute he looked.

I've always had a crush on him ever since we were a little kids, and I was so sad when he left for New York in 5th grade. And how can you not have a crush on him. He has Rraven black hair that looks as soft as silk. His sea green eyes, look like the sea is in them and you just can't help getting lost in them, and his kind personality. He's loyal and always looks for the best in things, even if the situation wais hard. He also had this mischievous nature that always gets him in trouble.
And…

“Whatch ya starring at?” My face turned as red as a tomato.

“Your hair is sticking up at the back” I blurted out, red with embarrassment.

“But my hair is always messy,” Percy tilted his head to the side as he looked at me, with a confused look.
