A/N~ Sorry for the wait! I had full blown writers block but I decided to give you a Nico chapter as suggested by one of my dear friends, and an idea just randomly popped into my mind! Also, I ship Solangelo. If you have a problem with this well, sorry, I'm not changing it. :P Enjoy! ~Zee

Nico

I folded my arms across my chest, refusing to look at her face. "No." I stated.

"Aw! Come on, Nico!" Hazel called to me happily as she waited by the playground stairs.

"I refuse to go on the playground." I told her defiantly.

"Please?"

"No."

"Pwetty Pwease?"

"No, Hazel."

I heard her sigh, and I still refused to turn around. Instead, I focused on the ground and only the ground.

Fallen leaves littered the mulched grown that I stood on, having been forced into the playground area. Most of the leaves were a crusty brown, all crinkled and dead. Even though it was still August, the leaves seemed to want to fall early this year.

One of my only friends, Hazel, had immediately grabbed my arm and dragged me all the way to the park, just because she wanted to swing.

I sighed. Why I'm friends with her, I'll never know. But she understands me, so I guess that's part of the reason.

"Nico, you better get over here right now or I'm going to call Will." Hazel threatened and I heard her bringing out her phone.

I sighed in defeat and turn around, trudging over to where she stood, cheering happily as her brown curls jumped around her face.

"You called him anyway, didn't you?"

She grinned. "Yup. Now, come swing with me!" She exclaimed, grabbing my arm and hauling me over to the swing sets.

She plopped down onto a rusting blue swing and I sat next to her, barely pushing my legs.

She shook her head at me, disappointed, but kept swinging anyway, a happy look on her face.

I had to smile a bit, seeing how happy she was. Hazel was like a sister to me.

Suddenly, my swing was moving and I cried out, grabbing the rusted chains before I fell.

I turned around to see Mr. Sunshine himself guffawing from behind me, humored by my surprise.

"I'm gonna kill you, Solace." I muttered, glaring at him.

He grinned brightly, his laughing subsiding.

"Nice to see you too, Sunshine. Now hold on while I push you." He said, using that stupid nickname he'd made for me as he pushed my swing.

I refused to smile at all.

Will was not in the least bit making me happy.

Nope. Definitely not.

Hazel smiled at me while I glowered at the ground, refusing to be happy that Will had shown up.

"Alright. Enough swinging. Let's go eat!" Hazel exclaimed, jumping off her swing and smiling at us.

"Okay, where?" Will asked, stopping my swing and leaning against the bar. I refused to look at him.

Oh no. I thought. Please don't say it-

"McDonald's!" She yelled happily.

Darn it. She said it.

Hazel has been obsessed with McDonald's lately. And when I say obsessed, I mean obsessed. Every time someone asks what we should eat, she always suggested McDonald's. She loved their chicken nuggets. And, I couldn't disagree that their fries were pretty good.

"Sounds good to me, what about you, Sunshine?" Will said, turning to me.

Like an idiot, I looked into his stupid, beautiful eyes and sighed.

"Fine. We can go to McDonald's." I muttered and he grinned.

"Yay! To Will's car!" Hazel clapped and started running towards Will's ridiculously golden yellow painted Lamborghini.

"Aw, why is it always my car?" Will pretended to be upset, but I could see the smile in his eyes as we walked over to his car.

"Because, Nico likes to walk, remember? Plus, with your car we can arrive anywhere in fashion." Hazel stated, hopping into the car.

"That is true. Well, Sunshine? Ready to roll?" Will asked, smiling at me.

I blushed and got in his car. He put in the key and soon enough we were driving to McDonald's.

"Oh! I was chicken nuggets and french fries!" Hazel informed us.

"Alright, but you're paying for yourself." Will stated as he drove.

"But what about Nico?" She asked.

"I guess I'll pay for Sunshine here. If I must." He looked at me and winked and I turned away, hating myself for blushing.

Suddenly I felt strange. I turned and looked at Will and Hazel. I can't explain it...I just felt like I was missing something here...like there was something I couldn't remember.

I drew my eyebrows together in confusion.

"Nico? What's wrong?" Hazel asked, turning to me with a worried expression.

"Did you guys feel that?" I asked. They both looked at each other as if they were trying to tell if I was going insane or not.

I sighed. "Never mind. Let's just go eat."

a/n~ Sorry it was so short! If you have any suggestions for future chapters/POVs that would be much appreciated! Thanks all you lovely Demigods! ~Zee
