Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own the PJ or HoO series by Rick Riodan
After Callie and Ally left, mom, Nico, and I went to the church kitchen.
"Okay, what's this about?" she asks.
"Ms. Hale, the time has come where Kyra has to come to camp." Nico replies.
Her face pales and her eyes widen. I was even more confused than before if that was possible.
'Why the hell do I need to go to a camp? Not that I'd have a problem with that, but still' I think.
"Oh, my. Kyra get in the car, we need to go home and get you packed." she orders.
"Where am I going? What the hell is going on!" I cry.
"Kyra, have you ever heard of Greek gods?" Nico asks, turning to look at me.
"Yea. I studied all about them a few months ago for school. What does that have to do with this?" I question.
"It has everything to do with this. You're a demigod." Nico says, his tone completely serious.
"What?!" I exclaim, incredulous.
"How long until the wedding ends Ms. Hale?" Nico asks, turning back to look at my mom.
"Guests should start arriving in about fifteen to twenty minutes. The bride and groom have to get going for their honeymoon in about two and a half hours." she says, checking her watch.
"Okay. We can wait until everyone leaves." he says.
"You never answered my first question. Where am I going?" I ask, crossing my arms.
"You're going to Camp Half-Blood. It's in Long Island, New York. It's a safe place for people like you and me." he replies.
"I've tried to keep you close to me Kyra. But, the time has come where you have to train." my mom says, a sad look in her eyes.
"But-" I stop because Lucas, my stepfather, comes into the kitchen.
"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you Michelle. The guests are starting to arrive. We need to get out there." Lucas says.
"Okay, I'll be out there in a minute, honey." she replies.
"Oh, and Kyra, Mo just got here and he wanted to talk to you." Lucas says.
"Okay, I'm coming." I say.
"Nico, come on." I say, waving for him to follow me.
"Oh! Kyra, your dress is in the kindergarten class room. I want you to change into it before you do anything else." mom says.
"Fine. But I'm not wearing those heels you brought." I tell her.
With that, we all leave the kitchen.
I run into my best friend, Mo, while coming out of the bathroom. I was wearing a really uncomfortable dress my mom had gotten me.
Before I get any farther, let me tell you a little about Mo. He's my best friend and we get into all kinds of trouble. We've been going to pottery class together for about two years now. The day we met in class, we were instantly best friends. He's a bit queer, like me, and we do all kinds of crazy things. Usually after school we walk around downtown Baltimore together or walk to the mall. He has black, curly hair that falls just above his eyebrows, violet eyes, and tanish skin. You can easily get mesmerized by his eyes if you're not careful. Trust me! But he's always got my back and I always have his.
"My God, Mo!" I exclaim, getting some dirty looks from some of the guests.
"There you are! Lucas told me you were in the kitchen." Mo says.
"Well, I was in the kitchen but then mom made me change into this thing." I explain, gesturing to the green dress.
It was a simple, above the knee, strapless dress. It started out a pine green at the bottom and slowly faded to a mint green at the top. I had refused to wear the white high heels so I was wearing my converse with the dress. In my opinion, I thought it looked really cute.
"You look good. I like the shoes." Mo says, smirking.
"Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to sit together?" he asks.
"Sure. Come on Nico!" I call to Nico, who was standing nearby.
"Great! Wait, who's Nico? Is this a new boyfriend that I don't know about?" Mo questions, arching an eyebrow.
"Good God! No!" I exclaim, blushing slightly and getting more dirty looks.
I look behind me and at Nico. He was leaning against the wall and his cheeks had turned a slight pinkish color.
"No, Nico is um, a friend." I tell Mo.
"Oh, cool." he says.
Together, the three of us went into the sanctuary, waiting for the wedding to start.
A/N:
And there's chapter 2! I know, I know. Nico blushed. He actually blushed. I promise, he's not going to be all bashful and blushing throughout the whole story. You must be patient my grasshoppers...
XOXO,
