Will had sent out a text to the group chat instructing us to meet at the address at 11 o'clock sharp. Which was disgusting, seeing that was the time I woke up on Sundays. So here I was, standing in the middle of my room at eIgHt o'ClOcK. On SUNDAY.

But that is besides the point.

I slipped on my cheer uniform, put lotion on, and vaseline between my thighs. (To avoid my thighs rubbing together and hurting and turning red.) Hair in a high ponytail, mascara, lip gloss, all the fun stuff.

I yoiked on my sweatshirt and down the hall to the kitchen/dining room. Hazel sat in a chair monching toast, and my dad seemed to be making eggs. I acknowledged my family and made myself cereal. They knew better than to talk to me this early. At least I thought they did.

"Frank will pick us up at 10:30 Nico. Should I wear my hair in a ponytail or in braids?"

I glared at Hazel.

"Hazel. I love you. Please stop talking." I said.

"Oh right. You're not a morning person, haha." Hazel giggled.

I slumped down in my chair and tried my best not to fall asleep in my bowl.

*****************

A couple hours later I sat in the back of Frank's Jeep driving to the place. We drove out of our neighborhood, and we neared the rich area of town.
"We're here." Frank said, stating the obvious.

It was a white mansion with a couple cars from our fellow teammates in the front. A fountain with a naked baby spitting water was in the middle of the lawn, and it was also decorated with neat hedges.

"Fancy." Hazel murmured as we climbed out of the car.

We walked up to the front double doors, and rang the doorbell. We heard someone yell, "I'll get it!" and then footsteps.

A little girl with pigtails wearing a little cheer uniform opened the door.

"MORE CHEERLEADERS!!" she screeched.

She stared at me suspiciously. "Are you a girl? You don't have boobies. THat's the best part of the girl cheerleaders you know."

I raised my eyebrows. "Wow, um, I'm not a girl. Can we come in?"

The little girl frowned. "I guess. But why are you wearing a skirt?"

"Because I like them." I explained impatiently.
"Okay. Come in," The little girl said.

"What's your name?" Hazel asked as the little girl led us inside.

"My name's Daphne. I'm turning 9 today," she said proudly.

"My name is Hazel. That's my boyfriend Frank, and that's my brother Nico."

"You have a boyfriend? Cool! Do you have a girlfriend?" Daphne asked me.

"No. Where's everyone else?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Outside. That's where I'm taking you." The little girl said.

SHe led us down a long hallway that had family photos and lots of pictures of her. There were statues of naked women, you know the creepy ones where they don't have limbs. There were also some of those weird tree bushes. Finally we got to two big glass doors, and she opened when, and we stepped out.

The backyard was huge. It had a fountain, a ginormous pool, tables that were stacked with food and an area which I assumed was for our performance. The rest of the team was already there. Some of them were talking with the boys and girls that were there, some were drinking punch and Will was speaking with a man in a white suit.

"That's my daddy," Daphne said, pointing to the man. "He's talking to the lead cheerleader. Do you know the lead cheerleader? I talked to him."

Daphne motioned for me to lean down, and when I did she whispered in my ear, "He's gayyy."
I rolled my eyes. "Daphne, I know that."

Daphne crossed her arms. "Daddy says that sometimes people who are the same gender date each other. That's what gay means."
"I know that. I'm dating him," I said, trying not to show how annoyed I was getting.

Daphne gasped. "You're dating Daddy??"

"N o. I'm dating Will." I explained.

"Who's that?" Daphne asked, confused.

"Nevermind." I grumbled.

I caught Hazel's eye, and she was trying not to laugh.

"I'm going to go tell Will we're here." I muttered, walking away.

"I wanna come!" Daphne yelled, chasing after me.

I walked up to Will and stood next to him. He and the "Daddy" were done talking.

"Hey Nico!" He said cheerfully.

"This little girl won't leave me alone!" I hissed.

"I heard that! You're my favorite! Is this Will?" she asked loudly.

"That's my name. And you must be the birthday girl. Daphne right?" Will said, offering her his hand.

She grabbed his hand and eagerly shook it.
"YUP! We talked when you got here remember?" she said.
"Oh that's right." Will said, smiling slightly.

"Your attention please!" Daddy said into a microphone.

I need to not refer to him as Daddy... anyway.

"That's our cue." Will said to me. Will, the squad, and I all went up to the clearing and got into position.

"Please give a warm welcome to the Olympus High School cheerleading team!"

The little kids all cheered and clapped as our music came on.

(they did some cool cheers and flips and it was awesome. Adjective adjective. Okay they're done now)

We walked away from the area as the kids clapped and cheered. Daphne ran up to me, jumping up and down.

"That was AWESOME! Can you teach me how to be as good as you?" she squealed, looking up at me with hopeful eyes.

I couldn't help but smile. "Oh alright. Since Da- you dad is sponsoring us, you can come watch us and stuff. And I'll help you."
"Aww. Look at you Neeks, bonding with the kids." Will said, smirking. He put an arm around me, and I glared at him.

"Haha. I have made an exception to my kids suck rule for this one." I said patting Daphne's head. She beamed.

"I wonder if Daddy will let me be a cheerleader when I'm in high school." Daphne said.
"I'm sure he will. I have to go to the bathroom, so talk to Will." I said.

I slipped out of Will's grip and walked back into the house. I turned to the hallwaya dn saw Piper, Annabeth, Percy and Jason. Piper and Percy were crying and Jason looked mad. Annabeth just looked ashamed. Tea. I slipped back around the corner and started listening.

"Well, while you and Annabeth were cheating on Percy and I, we were cheating on you!" Jason said angrily.
My jaw dropped. This was hotter tea than I thought it was.

"What? Annabeth and I have something. We're in love. You and Percy are just straight bros who suck each other's dicks!" Piper spat, tears streaming down her face.

"Not true. I love Jason. And Jason loves me. And I'm glad you told us so we can be with the people we truly live." said Percy softly.

Annabeth looked shocked. "Are you saying you never loved me? After all we've been through?"

"No! I did once Annabeth. But not anymore." Percy said.

"So this is it? Are we all breaking up to be gayer?" Piper asked.

"I guess. See you guys around." Jason said.

Wait shit. THey're going to see me. I panicked and before I could come up with a plan Jason and Percy came around the corner and ran into me.

"Um ow?" I grumbled from the floor.

:Oh sor- hey, where you eavesdropping?" Percy asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh, no?" I said smoothly.

"Nico! Ugh, just don't tell anyone." Jason said.

"Uh huh. Except Will." I said.

"Nico no," Percy said.

"Nico yes," I said.

I got up and went to the bathroom like I had originally planned. I couldn't wait to tell Will the tea.
