The Escapades of the Friends
Meetings
A/N: So hello readers! This collection is basically going to be a group of one-shots about the life of Rhianna, Alanna, Kerry and Johanna. Some will be set after/during/before 'Strife of the Nosoi'. Some might be AU. There will be different POVs (I think). Basically it's just what they get up to in between adventures and mini-adventures!
Disclaimer and a note: Okay, I don't own Percy Jackson. But I do own this idea so erm, I hate to say this but I couldn't help noticing that maybe a few of my ideas have been taken by another so please, PLEASE refrain from doing that! I work hard on all my fics. The ideas I come up with take time to think of and it annoys me when people can't be bothered to think up their own. Don't steal my ideas. Please. Thanks. X
oOo
This story is already in Chapter 16 of 'Strife of the Nosoi' but I thought it might be nice to have here as a starting point. Don't worry- there will be different ideas in the next chapters. This is set before Rhianna, Alanna, Kerry and Johanna know each other.
The day certainly was horrible. Rain lashed down hard, hitting me on the back as I ran across the grounds. I carried a stack of papers in my arms. Mrs Paul had demanded the essay for tomorrow and I'd stayed up all night working on it. Typical me.
Another gust of wind came rushing towards me and I shrieked as the pile of notes were blown out of my arms. The rain lashed down even harder making it impossible to see as I fell to my knees and scrambled after them. My jeans grew heavy as they absorbed the water on the ground and I shivered.
Where the hell was my project?
"Are you okay?" A voice called out. I flicked back my dripping hair and stared up. A girl stood before me with a concerned look on her face. She had black hair and sea green eyes.
"Um... yeah..." I murmured looking at the ground again. Suddenly a pile I recognized as my notes was shoved near my face.
"Here," The girl said, "I caught them when they flew by. I figured you might need them."
"Thank you so much!" I gushed grabbing them. The paper felt clean and crisp, "Funny, I thought they'd be soaking wet by now."
The girl frowned.
"Oh... yeah..."
She smiled at me.
"Oh well!"
I stood up and attempted to brush my clothes clean but I just ended up splashing the other girl who seemed pretty dry.
"Ohmygosh, I'm terribly sorry!" I cried attempting to dry her with my shirt but just wetting her more. I frowned and glanced up, "Err... I'll just leave it then...um...-"
"Alanna," She informed me, "What about you?"
"Rhianna," I smiled, "Why don't we continue this conversation somewhere dryer?"
"Sure."
We both walked toward the dorms and were about to go inside when I spotted another girl sitting on the ground. Her hair was dripping too and was lying plaster against her back.
"Are you okay?" I yelled running forwards.
The girl looked up in confusion.
"Um... yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
I shrugged.
"You're lying on the ground absolutely soaking but hmmm, apart from that- no reason!"
She laughed and got up.
"No, no- Actually I was thinking. Storms help me think."
"Really?" I asked, "Darkness helps me think quite well."
We walked off to the dorms again with the girl by my side. I dropped the essay off in my room before returning quickly.
"So Alanna and..."
"Kerry."
"Alanna and Kerry. Where next?"
Kerry looked at her watch.
"It's nearly lunch so why don't we head towards the canteen?"
"Sounds good," Said Alanna linking arms with us both, "Come on!"
It was funny how quickly we'd bonded. I had a good feeling about them both though. They seemed... nice. I hadn't really made friends with anyone else here yet. Of course I had acquaintances but nothing great. Not until now.
When we entered the canteen the only other person there was a girl eating a muffin. As we walked over she raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"You're all really, really wet!"
"No shoot, Sherlock!" I teased. The girl grinned sheepishly.
"Rhianna," I said holding out my hand. She shook it.
"Johanna."
"Nice to meet you, Johanna. This is Alanna and Kerry."
They both waved from where they were standing. I was about to say something else when a loud voice boomed out.
"HEY! YOU'VE DRIPPED WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR!"
We all turned to see the dinner lady plodding towards us, an angry expression on her face.
"Damn."
"My words exactly," Said Johanna.
"You're not soaking wet," I pointed out.
"No," Agreed Johanna, "But she'll kill me too. It looks like we're great friends from how we were talking."
"Ah."
"Any ideas?" Alanna asked.
"Er... how about..." Kerry trailed off.
"RUN!" I yelled as the lady got even closer.
We all took off, shoes squeaking against the shiny floor. We ran through the corridors and I took a sharp right turn. The others followed and we ran out through the giant double doors and into the rain. I looked around before running off towards the dorms. We burst into the corridor ignoring the stares we were receiving. As I leaned against the wall giggling madly the others joined in until we were all cackling loudly.
"Hey, Johanna?" I asked.
"Yes?" She answered still grinning.
"You know what you said about all of us becoming great friends?"
"Mm?"
"I think we should give that go."
