Oh hey guys. Since this is my first work for this fandom, I hope I kept them sort of in character.

/avoids flaming pitchforks from my former fandoms.

I was advised to post this here, so yeah. Here I go.

I hope you like it!

Will didn't think anyone from that snobby-looking Lotus school could have this kind of rebel—well no, not really—email. He expected something more like 'Student#1 ' or something.

"Hey Will! Who'd you get?" A voice asked from beside him. He turned to see Annabeth Chase, a long time friend of his. Annabeth was holding something as well, only hers was blue in color.

"Some ghost king guy." Will answered. "What about you?" He asked.

Annabeth frowned. "No name? Oh well, I got some guy who likes blue food. His email is… BlueFoodizdaBest gmail-dot-com." Annabeth glanced at the paper again. "And he says his name is Percy, with a smiley face."

Will raised a brow. She must not get smiley faces often.

"So are you going to message him first?" He asked the other blonde. "Might as well. I just want to get this pen pal program over with." Yes, that was what's happening. Their school was doing a pen pal program. It was cliche, really.

Annabeth then asked. "What about you?"

Will thought about it. "Nah." He said. "I don't really wanna mess this up. If I'm gonna talk to someone everyday we might as well be friends."

"Hearing you say that is so predictable." Annabeth sighed, and Will's smile faltered a bit. Not everyone was as smart as Annabeth-freaking-Chase. "You'll do fine." She encouraged him.

"Annabeth!" Both of them looked at the classroom door and Piper McLean—one of the prettiest (Will didn't like using the word 'hot'.) girls in school— was waiting for her best friend. She smiled at him. "Hi Will." She acknowledged him, silently asking permission if he could have her best friend now.

"It's alright. Bye guys." He waved. Annabeth looked like she was considering making Piper wait a little bit more (Piper was super nice.), but decided to go. "Bye Will." She said, waving back as left.

Will ended up sleeping on his desk for all of free period.


In the end, Will decided to message the guy first, and the sweet, sweet, words that he found playing though his head were; 'god fucking dammit why is writing a letter so difficult.'

Here was his letter so far:

Dear Ghost King,

Er... Hi there, I guess? My name is Will Solace, from Half-Blood high. And also your pen pal?

Oh gods, this is so awkward. So uh, what are you into? I like 'medical stuff', since I'm planning to be a doctor when I grow up. My friends tease me for being such a 'health' nerd or something.

And also, I like your email-

Will stopped typing at that point, burying his face in his hands. Why was he so hilariously bad at this? He sounded like such a dork!

Smooshing his own cheeks together, (he was almost certain that he looked downright hilarious.) he decided to rewrite the letter. Maybe he could go for a more suave approach? Or he could act as a girl? That was common on the net these days, right?

No. Both of those ideas were horrible, his subconscious told him mockingly. Another tiny voice in his head was urging him to do that cross-playing thing though.

Yes.

No, Will. Stay focused here.

Oh well, he'd just have to wing it and hope for the best. But as he was selecting the text, he ended up pressing the 'send' button by mistake. He froze.

what.

Wow that was a really dumb move.

Will Solace's brain, 25% processing.

GhostKing247 must think I'm a total loser like who even says 'I like your email' anymore like what the hell-

Will Solace's brain, 50% processing.

Of all the things to talk about I just had to talk about the nerd stuff. Talk about regrets.
Will just sat there, unmoving, eyes not straying from the laptop screen.

Will Solace's brain, 75% processing.

GhostKing247 must be some handsome guy with a pretty sister and badass talents and I'm just what, a wanna-be doctor? Gods I feel so useless.

Will Solace's brain, 100% processing.

Oh, would you look at that. It finally sank in.

"W-What." He mouthed, voice gone as his unreadable expression quickly turned into that of horror.

Students walking by his dorm room jumped as they heard an ear-splitting scream from the inside.
