The Two Relatives

Percy

It was a nice day in Camp Half-Blood. Good thing that the Titan war ended, I was exhausted for the whole day after the war. I'm now sitting at the Poseidon's table eating breakfast and watching the waves as they come and go.

I'm half way through my blue waffles until Annabeth came and sat beside me with her back facing the table. She's dressed up in her usual camp clothes and her blonde hair is put back in a ponytail. She may be a smarty-pants since she is from the Athena cabin, when you start to know her she's not bad as you thought. But still watch out, she could beat you up like a rag-doll. "So… did you sleep well last night?" she asked casually. "I don't have dreams recently. So I'm fine." I answered back after swallowing a bite, "What about you?"

"Same as you." She shrugged.

"Ah, heard anything from Grover yet?" I took another bite.

"Hmmm, no, I guess he's busy since he is the lord of nature now." She gives an 'I'm stupid' look to me.

"I guess he doesn't have time to hang out with us like the usual times."

"I guess not" she sighed.

We sat there for a few moments, thinking about Grover while I'm eating my waffle. Man, the good old times. I find it kinda awkward in the silence so I thought of a different topic that gets both of us off the topic of Grover. And it hit me, "I heard there is a new girl brought in yesterday."

"Yeah, I've heard."

"Did you see her?"

"Nope," saying it a bit sarcastic, "when she came it was really late. I bet everyone was asleep."

"Well, hope to see her today," I took the last bite. I wipe the crumbs off my hands.

"Yeah, I bet that little girl needs some company since she doesn't know where she is or even know who she is, just like the first time you came here." She elbows me.

"True, what are you doing after breakfast?" I changed the topic since I don't wanna get laughed at. It was embarrassing though, the first time I came to Camp Half-Blood.

"Maybe archery or sword fights or running, what about you?"

"The usual, sword fighting. I can't even hit a target in archery. You should know that." I rolled my eyes at her.

She chuckled. "Ok, then I'll see you at lunch, see ya Percy."

"See you later!" I sat there for a few seconds since my legs aches a bit; well I manage to stand up. And I walked, a bit unstable, to the arena to begin training.

When I got there, I saw the new girl. I walked slowly so I can see her features. She got long dark hair tied back in a ponytail, she's about my age, she's slim and plain, and she got aqua blue eyes and she looks like one of the female athletes in the Olympics, kinda pretty. But this girl is so not an Aphrodite girl, judging by the fact that she is pretty good in archery and she can beat up a guy who tries to flirt with her by the looks of it, also her face expression is unreadable as if she has an invisible mask. After when she's resting, I went over and greet her, "Hi there," she looks up, hoping she doesn't hit me, "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, I'm Percy Jackson," I put my hand out. "Thanks, I'm Grace," she shook my hand, whew. But right there I got a really strange feeling. "You don't have a last name?"

"I'm adopted; I lost my parents when I was a week old." She said coldly.

"Oh, sorry" Uh oh… I thought to myself, "I didn't mean to offend you."

"It's alright, you never knew me before I came here." She gave a shy smile. I flattered since she just changed from an icy personality to a warm one.

I smiled back, kinda hoping that she won't, you know hit me since it really looks that way, "You're pretty good in archery."

"Oh, thanks, barely anyone talks to me since I came here besides Annabeth and Chiron."

"You're welcome. I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye." She answered before I went to the arena to begin training. Strange, why do I have a really weird feeling? I thought the same thing over and over; it doesn't make any sense at all. And why was she adopted? Bah! Why am I thinking of this?

After the training, it's lunchtime. I walked over to my table and saw Grace at the Hermes table. It's sad that she doesn't know her parents; mortal or god. Also she looks very quiet and shy at the Hermes table, everyone around her is like laughing and cracking jokes but she just sits there and calmly eats her food like nobody is around her. I swear this girl is making me think about her every minute after I met her. Maybe she is an Aphrodite girl because of charm speaking. But I don't feel anything when she says something to me. Oh god, there it goes again; every time I think of something, she gets in the way. Seriously! Snap out of it! I said to myself. *sigh* Shame on me.

When I sat down, a dryad came and put a plate of pepperoni pizza on my table. I'm not that hungry so I gave half of my pizza into the bonfire for an offering to my dad. If there's anything I need to know, please tell me, I prayed as the pizza fell into fire, a scent of seawater rose from the flames.

I sat down to finish rest of my lunch. I ate while thinking about random stuff and while looking at the beach. But her name always comes around my mind, it's like she finds me no matter while I think of other things. Like a leech, well not to be offensive but I'm saying as an example.

I don't want to ditch Annabeth for this new girl I just meet few hours ago, Annabeth is gonna beat me up like a punch bag if I really do that to her. And that's not going to be pleasant I telling you. Especially when a girl likes you for 5 years, her heart is gonna break, no, shatter into million pieces if you do that.

So I swear to myself that I'm not never gonna do that to her, ever.
