Chapter 1 ~ Alex
"Al!" a voice shouted from the archery range. I was walking back to my cabin when I heard Emma calling my name. I turned and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
She came sprinting up, her brunette hair streaming behind her. When she reached me she bent over, panting and said, "Happy...Birthday!"
I smirked and said, "Thanks, where's my present?"
"If you keep that up, you won't be getting any presents!" Em retorted, rolling her brown eyes full of laughter.
"Sorry, sorry!" I replied quickly putting my hands up in the universal 'I surrender' sign. Emma laughed and handed over a present wrapped in dark blue paper. I ripped it open eagerly and found... a gift card to EastHills Mall. "Emma! Really? You know I hate shopping!"
Emma had an evil glint in her eye and answered, "I know, but that's your present! I'm going to help you with your fashion problem!"
I groaned and started walking away when Emma shouted, "Meet me at Thalia's Pine at noon!" I ignored her and finished the walk to my cabin, getting changed into a blue t-shirt, jean-shorts, and sandals. I made my way to Thalia's Pine where Em was already waiting with Lacy from the Aphrodite cabin.
As if reading my mind, Emma said, "Lacy is here to give more fashion advice!" I groaned in my mind and permitted them to drag me into the Gray Taxi. One wild ride later, we arrived at the mall. Suck it up Alex, it's just one day. I sighed and allowed Emma and Lacy to drag me into the mall.
