CHAPTER 3
Annabeth's POV
They had been on the plane for almost four almost hours now. She looked over at Percy, who had fallen asleep a while ago. He was leaning against Annabeth. Her mind drifted back to their first flight. Their kiss.
Percy and Annabeth had been friends since before she could remember but, she never thought Percy had liked her like that. When she woke up this morning and realized Percy was gone she had taken the bus straight to the airport. At first Annabeth was just going, to say good-bye but, she couldn't bring herself to let him leave without her. Because, even though she would never admit it too anyone, she loved him. Then when Annabeth had gotten on the plane Percy had pulled her into the seat next to him and he had hugged her so tightly she could've sworn she was going to pass out. It looked like he had been crying but she didn't get the chance to ask him about it. He pulled Annabeth in and kissed her. She didn't want it to end. But then he had pulled away. Leaving Annabeth utterly shocked. Looking back on it she had no idea where she got her courage from but, she had grabbed him by the shirt and kissed him, harder. He had put her hands in Annabeth's hair and… something touched her arm pulling her from her daydream.
Percy was awake. Annabeth really wanted to kiss him again but she stopped herself. Percy might not even like her in the way that Annabeth likes him. "Ugh. How much longer?" he asked, sitting up. She was a little disappointed that he wasn't leaning on her anymore but she choose to ignore that. Annabeth was about to answer him but a voice from behind Annabeth did for her. "We should be landing anytime", said Piper. Annabeth almost smacked the girl. She had been so deep in thought, she completely forgot about Piper. As if on cue they started descending. Annabeth looked over at Piper. The poor girl looked like she was about to faint. "Don't like flying?", Annabeth asked. "You could say that." The wheels extended and the plane touched down in Montreal.
The three of them got off the plane. Annabeth grabbed a map. "Guess we'll have to take the Metro train there. Its like a subway." Nobody objected. Annabeth walked in the middle, as the group made their way down the escalator, towards the Train.
Reyna's POV
She got up early that morning and started packing her suitcase. She brushed her hair and put on jeans and a plain tank top. Reyna grabbed her suitcase and ran down the winding marble staircase. Her parents were already downstairs, that was odd. Reyna sat down by her mom. If you hadn't known them you would never guess that she was actually Reyna's mom. Her mom was pale with light blonde hair and blue eyes whereas Reyna had tanner skin with dark hair and brown eyes.
"Do you have my plane tickets?" Reyna asked. Her mom seemed to think she was joking. "Hun, no we are taking our plane."
Reyna's parents were rich. Simple as that. Reyna hated it. She basically got everything she wanted. Sure that might have been cool for a second and, Reyna knew it was stupid, she shouldn't be complaining, but all Reyna wanted was to be a like normal teenager. Just to live in a small house somewhere and go to a normal school. Maybe even to find someone who loved her for her not for their income, she was doubtful. For gods sake, they have a plane with a hot tub on it. A freaking hot tub. Reyna stood up. "Oh right I forgot." she started yelling, "You guys have all this money so hey lets just go take our jet." Reyna realized she was flailing her arms and quickly put them down. "That's okay I don't need to be normal anyway." She figured her mom wouldn't let her take a airplane in the first place, there was no point in arguing. "Fine." With that, she stomped behind her parents to their backyard where their huge private jet sat. The pilot was already there. Reyna found a couch in the back, curled up into a ball and watched the city get smaller and smaller. Eventually she fell asleep.
Their plane landed in the Montreal Airport. As soon as she could, Reyna grabbed her suitcase and got off the plane. Reyna turned to her parents, "I'll just take the train or something from here… thanks." "We love you Rey, we'll miss you!" "Miss you too" Reyna mumbled. She turned and quickly walked away.
Reyna honestly had no idea where to go or what to do. She found a map of the city and studied it. Apparently she could take the Train from here, the airport, then it was just a short walk to the camp. She grabbed her suitcase and ran to the entrance to the train. The train was just about to pull away. Reyna ducked through the doors just as they closed.
There was absolutely no room on the train. She had to stand and grab a railing so she didn't fall over. She looked around, to her left was a tall bulky man that could probably squash Reyna like a bug, she made a point to scoot away. To her right were three kids who looked to be about her age."Hey I'm just visiting for a summer camp. Do you guys know how this whole Metro thing works?" Reyna practically had to yell so that they could hear her over the crowd. "Your kidding right?", laughed the blonde girl "summer camp? that's where we are going." The boy spoke up "and no we have no idea how this works." Though reyna couldn't tell if he was joking. She noticed how the boy moved so he was standing right next to the blonde, like he felt the need to be close to her. It was cute. "I'm Percy" said the boy "This is Annabeth" he pointed to the girl at his side, "and Piper" he pointed to the other girl, who seemed to be hanging back. The train stopped. "This isn't our stop", said Piper. Almost everyone got off the train. "At least we can sit down now" Reyna said. She sat down and the boy... what had he said his name was... Percy? Percy sat down next to her. They turned to face Annabeth and Piper, who were sitting in the seats behind them talking and laughing at some of the people on the train. It was short ride. Soon enough the train came to a stop, again. Percy was the first to stand. "This is our stop", he said. They exited the train and followed Percy up the escalator onto the streets of Montreal.
They were in what looked to be a suburb of the City. There weren't many houses around. The roads weren't even paved. Annabeth got out her map and pointed down a dirt road to their right. "Should be that way", she said looking up from her map. "Sketchy", Percy mumbled. The group choose to ignore the comment. Reyna resisted the urge to laugh. Annabeth stood close to Percy, Piper stood on the other side of Annabeth, and Reyna stood on the other side of her, the group made their way down the dirt road. A few cars drove past. After about five minutes of walking, they stopped. The four friends stood there, together, looking up at the entrance to camp.
