I am seriously sorry that it took me so long to post this chapter. I have been crazy busy recently and haven't had much time to write. It doesn't help that I was stuck on my story either. I know this is a short chapter and not the best, but it was necessary if I want to get to the good parts (which should be starting soon). Now onto the story:)
Hazel
It was killing her. She couldn't stop looking at the Sammy-look-alike. Hazel thought she was being pretty discrete, that was until Frank looked at her with obvious hurt in his eyes. She felt terrible. Frank was so sweet and goofy, and liked her even when the whole camp avoided her. He didn't deserve to be hurt by her. Though Hazel knew that, she also knew that she had to talk to the elfish boy. Not only did he look like Sammy, but he sounded like him too. She knew the way she was giggling at every stupid thing he said made her look like an idiot school girl with a massive crush, but she couldn't help it. Hazel just wanted to be near him. Close to her old life, before everything went wrong. Mainly, she just wanted to talk and get to know the boy who brought back so many great memories.
Just then, Hazel got her chance. Leo dropped something he was playing with in his hands and stopped to pick it up. Whatever it was, it was now broken into a few little pieces. She bent down to help him. After all the pieces were picked up, they stood up and Leo said, "Thanks"
Hazel smiled and replied, "No problem. What was that anyways?"
Leo opened his mouth to answer, but then looked ahead and stopped. Hazel followed his gaze only to see that Frank, Thalia, and Piper were nowhere in sight. Also, Jason was running towards them. As soon as he got there he said, "Hey guys. It's time for the meeting."
"Okay, you take Leo there. I'll go tell the others." Hazel said as she took off in the direction they had been headed. She knew she had just given up a chance to spend a little more time with Leo, but Hazel also knew that she needed to remind Frank that she liked him. Not Leo. She was dating Frank. Not Leo. And now, Hazel needed to start acting like it.
Frank
Frank didn't understand why, but as soon as Piper told him everything was fine, he felt better. He believed her. She was so convincing. He didn't even understand what had upset him in the first place. Frank was full of confidence as if nothing could go wrong. He walked on for a few minutes like this before looking back to see that Hazel and Leo were gone. Suddenly the confidence faded away and the reason he was upset before came flooding back. Hazel, his girlfriend, had been throwing herself at the little elf-like boy. Frank knew that he shouldn't be getting so worked up about this, it's not like Hazel had given him any reason not to trust her. But still, he couldn't help but feel jealous when he looked back and Hazel was giggling at every stupid, slightly funny thing Leo said.
His thoughts were interrupted by a voice he would never get tired of hearing, even if he was doubting her loyalty.
"Hey guys, it's time for the meeting." Hazel said while catching her breathe.
"So Piper and Thalia," Frank said as the two girls turned to look at him, "That was everything important at Camp Jupiter. There should be more time to look around later, so if you feel like you've missed anything, feel free to explore. Now we better get to that meeting before we're late. Otherwise Reyna will kill us and Octavion will start spouting a whole bunch of crap about how we can't trust the Greeks because you were late." Frank finished.
"Sounds like a charmer." Thalia said with obvious sarcasm in her tone.
"You don't know the half of it." Frank said. Thalia and Piper started running back the way they had came. Frank was about to join them, when Hazel slipped her hand into his. He looked over at her and she smiled. He smiled back to her in what he knew had to be the dumbest looking grin ever, but as long as he was with Hazel, he didn't care. At that moment, everything was perfect. So the two turned and ran after Thalia and Piper, hand-in-hand, smiling the whole way.
I hope this chapter doesn't make you all want to give up on me. The next chapter will be in Percy's point of view, and will involve a little bit more of Percy and Annabeth's reunion. I will post it as soon as possible. I will also try not to make you guys wait as long as you had to for this chapter. Again sorry about that. Thank you for reading...and please review:)
