Chapter 7
Ara was just finishing her breakfast when Nico slid into the bench across from her.
“It has come to my attention we never had a proper introduction, hi, I'm Nico.” she already knew that, so she looked at him confused.
“I'm ara?” she asked skeptically.
“Okay so that not really why I'm here, Kayla didn't tell you anything about capture the flag right?” Ara was just getting more and more confused, but she hadn't.
“Oh thank gods, shes never gonna let me live it down.”
“umm okay. Anyways I was going to ask Kayla but since you're here I might as well ask you. Why don't you sit at the Hades table?”
“oh yeah, I have a doctors note”
“Are you talking about me?” Will sat down next to Nico and looked at them both.
“What makes you think we were?” Nico asked.
“ was he?” Will turned to Ara, she shrugged.
“You both are useless,” he joked, “ I have to get ready to officiate the volleyball game, you guys should come watch.” when they agreed he stood and pecked Nico on the cheek before leaving.
“Wait are you guys,” she trailed off. He nodded as Kayla sat down by ara.
“There you are, your friend was looking for you.”
“ yeah I talked to her, thanks though.” Ara wasn't sure where Erin had gone now but she wasn't that concerned, Erin tended to wander
"did he tell you about the-"
"do not finish that sentence Kayla." Nico glared at her.
"you tripped and fell in the stream, it was hilarious." she laughed.
"it was not hilarious it was cold, and I didn't trip, I was pushed." he corrected.
"a rock pushed you? sure." she laughed again. Ara had never meet a sentient rock but she wasn't quite sure it was that unlikely. She talked with Nico and Kayla until they walked together to the volleyball match.
