This is Me- Chapter 3
Hey guys! This is the next chapter! Hope you like it! Also thank you for your support! It means a lot to me! :)
Previously:
We walked towards them. I got a closer look of them. One guy had jet black hair, Annabeth;whom I had already met , a girl with a straight black with an extreme punk look. Another boy who was quite pale and had black hair too, and a girl with fiery red hair. They were all smiling at me warmly. I already felt they were going to be great friends. Well before I could scan the rest of them Leo announced in thick British accent
"Good morning to you all once again. This young lad here is Piper McLean. Piper these are our mates." causing us all to laugh.
They were all smiling warmly at me and I returned them a smile. Annabeth stood up smiling widely.
"Hey Piper. It's so good to see you here. So let me introduce you to our friends. This is Percy Jackson-", she said pointing at the boy sitting next to her.
"And this is-"
Percy cut her off by saying: "Geez Annabeth we can introduce ourselves. Wait you too already met?"
"Yup." I said popping the 'p'. Annabeth was still glaring. Percy looked a bit scared now.
"Right. Anyways, hey Piper. I'm the great Percy Jackson and of course everyone knows me because I'm the school's swimming captain along with my brother from another mother, Jason. So I like the blue pancakes that my mother makes and basically love food. My heart's been stolen by American fast food. I have loved it since childhood. Any cuisine or style of food would touch my heart but nothing break my love with American food!" He said with a wide grin. Annabeth still glared at him while I laughed.
"Do you like Italian cuisine? I cook pasta and lasagna and they've been my personal favorite since my childhood. The cafeteria seems to have a variety of food. I swear I've never seen a school cafeteria with so many types of food. It seems that I would look forward to coming to school only for the food!" I said laughing. He laughed too.
"Hey! We exist! Hi, I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare. He is Nico di Angelo-" She said pointing at the pale boy with dark black hair. He gave me a shy smile.
"-and this is Thalia Grace, Jason's sister." She said smiling. Thalia looked completely different from Jason. She had Jason's same icy blue eyes and complexion, but the similarities ended there. She had black spiky hair with sharper features, a longer nose and an oval-shaped face.
"Hey Piper, wanna come with us? We're getting some food." Leo said.
"Yeah sure"
Jason, Leo and I walked towards the cafeteria. I just grabbed some orange juice as I wasn't that hungry. I had quite a heavy breakfast. What? I eat a lot when I'm nervous!
"I'm gonna get a sandwich. You guys wait here okay", he said walking away.
"You never told us you could cook." Jason said pouting.
I chuckled and said, "Yeah well my dad's a terrible cook. My mom and dad separated when I was a baby and technically I had to do all the cooking for us. And you know what I used to live in California. Since my dad got transferred to New York, I have to stay with my so-called mom, who ignored me for 18 years and not once did she ever call, till my dad gets stuff ready in New York. Couldn't she call just to say: 'Hey. I know that your my daughter. I know that you exist. I just called so that you know that I existed. Yeah bye.' It's just frustrating. I have to spend 2 weeks with her and not complain. I know I can't blame my dad but it's just….so unfair." He just stared at me nodding a bit.
I was furious. I guess I just scared him with my intense little biopic of tragic little Piper McLean. I felt guilty.
"I'm sorry. I just….." I said with a shy smile.
"Nah. It's okay. I'm actually surprised that you just told all that to me already." He gave me an assuring smile.
"Guys. I'm done. Can we go and sit?" someone said. I noticed it was Leo, who had already filled his plate with about five types of sandwiches, about two bars of chocolate and a carton of juice.
"You're gonna eat all that?" I asked shocked. He looked thin but boy he had a large appetite.
"Yeah. I didn't have a proper breakfast today." he said poking his stomach.
"You ate 2 granola bars in the morning." Jason said chuckling.
"Okay. Fine. Can we sit down? I'm hungry."
"Yeah, I can see that." I said giggling. I stared sipping my juice.
"So Piper, what's your story?"asked Annabeth as we reached the table.
"Well, I'm from Calafornia. My father and mom separated when I was extremely small. My dad got a job here in New York and I have to stay with my mom here until my dad arranges a permanent stay for us in New York."I said taking a deep breath.
With that no one said anything. They gave me pitiful look that I didn't really need. But Leo broke the silence by asking Percy,
"Can I have your ketchup? Mine got over." With that we all burst out laughing.
"What?" Leo said with an innocent look and a mouth stuffed with food.
The bell rang. I groaned and got up. Boy I had a huge day ahead of me. I quickly finished my juice and chucked it away.
"If you don't mind Piper, can I ask you something?" Jason asked.
"Yeah sure."
"Who is your mom?" he said with a worried look on his face.
"Evelyn. Evelyn Mitchell." I said confused.
"I knew it! When I first saw you I felt that I met you before. You look a lot like her. Especially your eyes. They're like the exact same shade."
"Wait up. You know my mom?" I said utterly confused.
"Yeah. I'm your neighbor. My mom and your mom are quite good friends." He said grinning like a madman.
"What? How is that even possible?! Then how come I haven't met you before?" I said narrowing my eyes. Ya ain't gonna fool me young man.
"Well we went on vacation. I just came back the day before yesterday from Monte Carlo."
"Oh." Was all I said.
"Aren't you glad? But I thought you were my friend." He said giving me a 'small-girl-who-was-waiting-to-eat-a-chocolate-but-a-squirrel-just- stole-it' look.
"What? Yes. Of course. I'm excited. I'm just surprised. You're my neighbor. Holy shit. You're my neighbor. What? This is so frickin' amazing! Oh my lord! Thank you so much, Lord! Thank you!"
He chuckled at my sudden outburst.
"Well, you still hurt me Piper. I'm an injured man." He said holding an imaginary knife over his chest, making a face full of pain.
"Ouch. Well we have an emergency here! Call the ambulance someone!" I said playing along.
"Yeah yeah. Whatever. Well then. I'll see you later."
"See ya, neighbor." I said grinning as I walked towards class. I was glad I had wonderful friends and a neighbor.
So that's it mates. This was it. So you guys liked it! I really hope so!
