Chapter 9: Lunch
AN: Sorry for the short chapter. Too burnt out to do more.
Everyone had sat down at the long table in the cafeteria. There were goblets and empty plates but no food. The Greeks knew what to do. Grover had been the first to be seated and was eating enchiladas and a tin can. Percy sat next and ordered, "Blue cherry coke, cheeseburgers and fries."
The Romans, Greeks and Egyptians now knowing what to do followed his lead. Across from Grover was Juniper who ate salad and juice. They sat at the end of the tables. Next to Grover was Clarisse and sitting across from her and next to Juniper was Chris. All four of them were discussing the latest news from Camp which Juniper was catching them up on. That also included Clarisse's godson Chuck. Grover was curious having gotten to know Coach Hedge better and asked about the baby satyr. Clarisse, acting like the eighteen year old girl she was for once gushed over her godson's adorableness with Juniper.
Next to them were Frank, Tyson, Ella and Hazel. Hazel was talking to Tyson and Ella but Frank was talking to the girl next to him. Samira and him were talking about shapeshifting. Across from Sam was Magnus who sat next to Thalia. She had pulled Magnus over to sit next her her. This was Annabeth's cousin and she wanted to hear more about her friend. She had already interrogated Reyna and the other Romans about Jason. It was now time for Annabeth.
Across from Thalia sat Nico and next to him Walt. Across from Walt was Will and next to her Jaz. Together the four were talking about death and healing. It was better not to ask much about that conversation but Magnus who was nearby looked curious. Next to Walt was Sadie who sat across from Alex and next to Percy. He looked very uncomfortable eating his cheeseburger, fries and blue cherry soda while being interrogated by the two girls. They wanted to know about the best explosions and expulsions. He gave in after awhile only because Sadie reminded him so much of Annabeth and himself.
On Alex's other side across from Percy was Annabeth who was sharing exasperated glances with Carter who sat next to Percy. Zia sat next to Annabeth and was talking to Leo sitting next to her boyfriend and across from her. He had somehow brought up fire. Calypso was next to Leo and across from Apollo. The two former immortals were in discussion with Blitz and Hearth about the nine realms. Blitz was on Calypso's side and Hearth on Apollo's.
Last was Rachel next to Hearth who sat across from Reyna next to Blitz. Next to Reyna was Annabeth who sat across from Rachel. Piper was on Annabeth's other side with Jason next to her. Everyone ate and the Norse and Egyptians watched curiously as all the Greeks and Romans got up to burn food to the gods.
"What's that for?" Hearth signed to Annabeth. Blitz translated once again.
"For the gods."
The Norse and Egyptians exchanged glances and shrugged before they all dug into their food. Little by little they finished up until they were waiting for Percy to fill his bottomless stomach so they could start watching the next part of his life.
