"Hey, Crystal, I'm going to the bathroom but can you keep on looking for my dress?" I rolled my eyes, "Sure." My friend skipped out the store and I was by myself. I had the eerie feeling that someone was following me, staring, but I dismissed the idea.

I went back to thinking about my selfish friend. Why can't she find her dress on her own? (We had a huge end of the year party coming up, and all the girls were looking for a dress.) I needed to find my own too, but I guess finding my friend's dress is more important (according to her).I sighed, thinking about how I could be painting a new picture at that very moment. I liked shopping, but not always. I liked art better than being at the mall….

That was when I saw the dress. It was beautiful…it was light pink with lacy designs at the hem. I reached for it, and was amazed at how soft it was. This was the dress for me. I checked the price and the size. It was perfect! I took it from the rack, ran to the dressing room,and slipped the dress on. I gasped – the dress made me look beautiful.

I peered through the curtains to see if my friend was back from the bathroom, but I didn't see her. "Oh my! That dress looks like it was made for you! You look absolutely gorgeous," Startled, I jumped, and saw a pretty store clerk smiling at me. She had blond curly short hair and a pixy like face. I blushed, but all the happiness drained out of me as the lady suddenly morphed into a monster. The monster had a head and torso of a woman, but had no legs and instead had the body of a snake. "And you were made to be eaten by me!" she hissed. I screamed, hoping someone else would notice the monster, but all the other people in the store just stared at me like I was crazy. I couldn't move – it was like my legs were glued to the floor.

"RUUUN, CRYSTAL!" Someone pulled my arm, making me stumble, then run. We ran like there was no tomorrow, (I think I saw my friend yelling,"HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" on the way.) and stopped when we got outside. "I never thought Delphyne would be there…."The guy who helped me run muttered to himself. As I gasped for air, I was surprised to see that my savior was Grover Underwood, who took French class with me. "GROVER! How...what….why…wha-?" "Hi to you, too. I sensed something at school, so I followed you." "You stalked me." "No, I did not! I was trying to keep you safe!" At that moment I saw he wasn't wearing any pants, showing off his furry goat legs. "HUH?" "Oh, I'm sorry," Grover looked down, blushing. "I forgot to tell you. I'm a satyr. Which means Greek mythology is real, and you're a demi-god."

"Yeah, right," I said sarcastically. "Nice try, but you can't trick me. Though I have to give you some credit… that looks really real….wait, what's a demi-god?" "It is real. Fine, don't believe me. You'll find out soon what the word means, too. Oh, there's your mom!" I turned around to see my mom drive up the sidewalk. She rolled down the window as she got closer. "Hey, Grover. I saw your text, about the monster, and I was so worried!" "Wait, you know my mom's number!" I asked. "For emergencies, so I guess, yeah." Grover responded. "Does she need to go to Camp, Grover?" my mom asked, ignoring me. "Yeah."

Camp? What camp?

Did you like it? This is my first fanfic and I'm really excited! I know it's short... I didn't think it would be because on my Microsoft Word, it was over a page. Now I understand how long it takes to write a chappie! I'm working on the next chapter (in HP's POV) so just hang in there! And please, if you have time, can you review? PLEASE? Oh, if you don't have time, it's okay... *pouts*
