Chapter 2
Iwoke up at half past six. The bus to camp would not leave until 8.30 but I was to exited to sleep. Luckily I remembered I had not gotten any books with me (bad thing for a child of Athena) and got up from the bed and stood in front of my library to choose books. When I got what I needed I went to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. My father was at work and my step-mom and step-(twin)brothers were asleep.
I could not help thinking of my plan to humiliate Percy. I hated him. Well not exactly hated but that's what I would said when Thalia mentioned him. I would make him hurt the way I did. And I was pretty much determined to to so.
When it got 8 o'clock the bell rung. I opened the door to face Thalia who embraced my in a lung squishing hug. " Ready to go? " Thalia enthusiastically asked. " Let me take my bag Thals and we shall leave this horrible place for the whole summer." Thalia gave me an amused look as I walked up the stairs. I got my bag said goodbye and left.
We went to the place where we would take the bus from and I saw lots of my old friends. Bianca was not there since she was in the underworld spending "quality time" with her dad. She would come by the end of the week as she had promised. The Stoll twins and Silena were the first to greed us. Then lots of teens made their way to the bus stop. I scanned the crowd quickly to see if Percy had arrived. I saw Rachel but no sign of him. "Thals…I can't see Percy" "I guess he's probably stuck in traffic…he would not miss camp" "Hello my dear girls" I turned around to face Grover, our satyr friend, with a huge smile drawn on his face. "I thought you would stay at camp this year" I said. "Yeah…There was a change of plans. I had to go find a couple of half-bloods at a school in New Jersey. Is Nico here yet?" "No, he's in the underworld with Bianca spending quality time with daddy Hades" "Oh man…what am I supposed to do now…No Nico…No Perce…" he said sadly. My eyes sparkled and I asked him trying to sound indifferent "Is Percy not coming?" "No! Of course not…It's just that he was grounded by his mom because of taking her car without asking. He'll be here tomorrow". "Cool" Thalia said with an evil smile on her face.
