Grover

As I walked into the new school, I smelted the scent of demi-god. I looked around and tried to keep my profile low. A girl walked past me, she had brown hair that was in a pony tail, black skinny jeans, blue eyes, light tanned skin and a black and white jumper. She held her books in one arm and looked like she was dancing as she walked. Her scent was the strongest out of everybody else. My instinct told me to follow her and be her friend. I could never argue my instincts, so, I followed her.

She walked into class. I took a deep breath and calmly went into the room, not knowing what it was. It turned out to be Spanish; a language that I really sucked at. I got my books out and sat down at the desk next to her. It turned out that I had that class.

Half way through Spanish, I decided to talk to her, try and get some information about her, who her mortal parent was.

"Hey," I greeted her. "I'm Grover. May I ask who you are?"

"Hey Grover, I'm Harmony," Aphrodite, Eros, Poseidon, Hermes or Hephaestus would choose that name, "it's nice to meet you."

"So, what's your interest?"

"You'll laugh at them if I tell you."

"No I won't."

"Yes you will. Nearly every one I've told has laughed at me."

"I won't! Please tell me."

"No. What about you?"

What would I say? Saving the planet was mine but most mortals laughed at me "Saving the planet."

"Cool." And she went back to her work. At least she didn't laugh at me. How was I going to make her talk?

"Tell me about yourself." I said, making her look at me again.

"Um, what do you want to know?"

"Brothers? Sisters? Parents? Your past? Your future dream job all of that stuff."

"I don't have any brothers or sisters; I only live with my dad. I hate to talk about my past and you'll laugh at me about my dream job."

"Okay… What about stuff like colour, fruit, drinks?"

"Colour would be green, fruit would be strawberries and drink would be seven up." This was kind of creepy. My favourite colour was green, my favourite fruit was strawberries and my favourite drink was seven up. "What about you?"

"All the same."

Then the bell for lunch rang. We got our books packed up and put in our bag. I had a sneak peak in her bag and got nothing. NOTHING!

"See you 'round, Grover." And Harmony left.

I walked to my locker and out my books away. I had wanted to go up to Harmony and say 'You're a demi god. Now come with me and we'll-'

"Hey Grover!" Harmony yelled in my ear.

"What was that for?" I asked getting next lessons books out.

"I couldn't help notice that you have pictures of plants and trees and quotes saying 'save the trees'. I'm sorry."

"No. It's cool."

"You're interested in helping the planet?"

I waited for Harmony to start laughing. "Yeah…"

"That's so cool!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, you can't find much people that aren't interested in other things than looking good and boys nowadays. You should start a campaign. You would be a good leader."

And she left. I felt good about myself. I should start a campaign. I stood there, smiling.

"Hey, wait!" I quickly closed my locker door and tried to run after her without loosing my foot.


School finally ended and I didn't get a chance to speak to Harmony. I waited for my bus to get back to camp. I read a book while I waited for the 721F to come. I finally hailed the bus and got on. I stayed near the front of the bus when I saw Harmony hailing the bus. Harmony hopped on the bus, scanned her ticket and danced her way to a seat. Harmony was close to my seat. I was alone, no seat buddy. Harmony started listening to her music. She slowly closed her eyes and relaxed on the seat. I heard some of her music. It wasn't the type teenagers listen to now that they're in high school. It was more calmly, soft like a gentle breeze and … Earthy. I knew what she was listening to! It was my favourite song I listened to when I needed to calm down or just listen to.

Harmony breathed deeply. She quickly opened her eyes and I pushed the button. This was my stop. I got my bag and went to the nearest door. So did Harmony.

"Hey, Grover." Harmony said with her sweet scented voice.

"Hey, Harmony." The bus stopped and we both hopped off. I started to go my way and Harmony follow. "You come this way?"

"Yeah. I don't live that far now, just around the corner."

We picked up our paste and she walked around the corner while I went straight.

"Bye, Grover."

"Bye, Harmony." We walked our way and said nothing else. I hope this is a starting of a beautiful friendship. Now, I need to figure out who you are and by that, your parent.


Hope you like it. I imagined this once when I was angry. R&R please. I really need it. I don't own PJO but I do own the plot of the story and Harmony.

Love Ya!
