Hello! so this is my very first attempt in writing.
Hope you guys will like it.
Percy's POV
I'm busy training Lance- the new guy here in Camp Half-Blood and son of Hephaestus when I heard Annabeth called me.
"Percy!" she called.
I turn around and saw her on her way to us wearing a worried face.
I turn my glance back to lance and ordered him to get rest.
"Am I doing better?" he surprisingly asked me. He never asked that question since he has been here. I look at him and smiled.
"Better than yesterday. Go get rest. We'll continue this tomorrow." I replied.
He jogged back to his tent just the perfect time for Annabeth to reach me.
"Percy, Chiron wants to talk to you." She said.
By the look on her face, I know it's not good.
Alex's POV
I can't believe Mom and Dad left us alone with our wands for their Miami trip. They actually believe when I told them that we're old enough to trust with magic. Well yes, they can trust Justin but Max and I? I bet this month will be so amazing.
"Alex. I'm in charge." Justin said proudly as he climbed down the stairs.
I rolled me eyes. "You're not."
He thinks he's in charge when mom and dad totally didn't say anything. I snort.
"Where's Max?" he asked as he sat down the sofa.
"I'm here." Max answered. He got up the floor and smiled widely at Justin. "You're looking for me bro?"
"What are you doing?" Justin said raising his eyebrow.
"Smelling the floor." Max replied.
"Well… carry on then." Justin said.
I smirked thinking that I'm the only normal in this family.
"ALLEEEEEEXXX!" Harper burst to the door screaming and looking worried.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Surprisingly, I am." I smiled realizing that I actually feel great. For the first time in a long time, I actually feel alive.
"I'm so sorry." She said and sobbed, like she didn't hear what I just said.
I rolled my eyes. Why when something bad happened to me, she feels 10 times worse than I? She sobbed more and buries her head to my arms. (Make that a hundred times.) I hugged her. She always been a good friend to me, always been the best friend I ever wanted.
"Why? What happened?" Max asked as he walks toward us.
"M-mas-on, br-brr-broke up with her." Harper answered and sobbed more.
I laughed at her. She will probably flood our house with her tears.
"Yeaah.. It was a long time ago." I finally confirmed.
"Yesterday was a long time ago?" Harper said shockingly. She immediately grabbed the tissue Justin lend her and wipe her tears.
"Well yeaahh - "
"If you still haven't notice, her calendar works that way." Justin cut me off.
"Exactly!" I said proudly and smiled.
"That's why you should stop crying. Everything's fine. I actually feel great." I told her and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Hmmm.. you're really over Mason." Justin said. I don't know if it's a question or a statement, but who cares, I am. I am so over with Mason, so I nod.
"But I thought Mason was different." Max joined in.
"Yeah I thought so, but when he broke up with me. I feel like a bird got out of its cage. I feel free. I feel reborn." I replied and laughed.
"Well in that case." Justin said and stopped, to think what he's going to say next. Then he continued "I can see that Alex is fine and Harper …"
"She's trying hard to move on." I finished Justin off and put a hand on Harper.
Justin rolled his eyes and asked us if anyone's hungry. I raised my hand followed by Max's and Harper's. Then Justin announced that there's a new restaurant 3 blocks away from here, and asked if we're up to trying the place. We all agreed then head out. As I walk out, I have a strange feeling that everything's going to change.
Percy's POV
Annabeth, Grover and I are on our way to the nearest restaurant to our hotel in New York City. We have been assigned to watch a girl named Alex Russo in Waverly Place, believing that she has an incredible power to defeat anyone, in our case Medusa – there's a lot of buzzing going around that Medusa is alive (I know we already killed her, that's what I told Chiron, but he wants to make sure. We have to make sure.) and she has been 10x more powerful and stronger than before. We also heard that Medusa's plan is to kill everyone in Camp Half Blood, to get revenge from us. That's why we need this Russo girl, she's our key to figure out if Medusa is still alive or not. Medusa will look for this girl and kill her before we found her, or worse Medusa might just compel this girl to be on her side. That's why we need to move fast.
"Finally!" Grover said as we enter the restaurant.
I know that we should find Alex Russo now, but Grover won't stop babbling us about the food here in New York plus he said that we might see Alex Russo in the restaurant eating with her friends. As if, luck is just around the corner.
A girl welcomes us and led us to our table. I sat down and look around, feeling like there's someone watching us, and indeed there are. 3 tables away from us, sat a guy who's been staring at Annabeth admiringly. I can't blame him every guy will definitely fall to Annabeth. He's with a younger guy and 2 girls who have been laughing at him, probably teasing him. One girl had caught my attention. She has a wavy dark hair and a heart shaped face. I smiled watching her laughing. She's one of the beautiful girls I've ever seen in this world.
"Snap out of it Percy!" I stopped looking at the girl immediately as I heard Annabeth.
"Huh? What?"
"I said. What are you going to order?" She asked addressing the waiter beside her – who perhaps been there since God knows when.
"I'll have what Grover will have." I finally said.
Annabeth smirked and confirmed to the waiter what we're going to have.
I sighed of relief when the waiter left and Annabeth excused herself to go the comfort room.
I turn my gaze back to the girl and saw her staring at me. Making me conscious if I look fine or not. I stared back and realize how beautiful she really is.
"Dude you're totally checking that girl." I heard Grover said beside me as I continue to look at the girl. I can tell that he's looking at the girl also.
My heart skipped a beat the moment she smiled at me.
"Hmm.. She's one hot chick." He said.
"Yeah." I said to Grover as I smiled back to the beautiful girl I've been staring at. She looked away and hid her face.
I ignored Grover as he teased me from staring at the girl.
"OhMyGod! Are you blushing?" the other girl yelped. I smiled more.
"Awww.. How adorable." Grover said. I look at him and saw him smiling. I smirked and turn my gaze back to their table.
"You know what's weird?" Grover asked as I continue to watch the girl as she hid her face.
"What?" I asked.
"She looks like the girl Alex Russo." Grover said. My smile falls as I realize Grover had seen the photo of the girl we've been searching. I look at him and wait for him to laugh and tell me it was just a joke. But he didn't.
"That's not weird. That's terrifying." I said. He nod and gave me a sad smile. I watch the girl again and hope she's not the Russo girl, because if she is, her life is in total danger.
"Forget what I said, she's probably not Alex Russo." He nervously laughed. But we both know he's lying.
