Max pov
I stood there while Percy explained everything to Annabeth. Out of the corner of my eye, though, I could still see her glaring at me. Geez, what was her problem.
Angel looked at me knowingly, and I gave her a weird look. She just smiled and shook her head.
"...then we came back to the hotel because Max was injured, and I decided that they should come here so they could be safe. Plus, I think they're demigods," said Percy. Annabeth looked at us suspiciously, but nodded anyways and went back to her cabin.
"Uh, Percy? WHAT THE FUCK ARE DEMIGODS!?" I said. I didn't want them to start telling me that I was some other weird species, or for them to be part of the school.
Percy put his hands up in the universal 'please don't kill me' gesture. "Half god, half mortal. You know, Greek mythology?" He said slowly, trying to calm me down.
I shook my head dumbly, and said,"And you think we're demigods?" He nodded. Then, I did something nobody expected:
"Hey, I'm sorry about yelling at you. I just got. . .freaked out." I said, smiling slightly.
He shook his head,"That's alright. I know it's a lot to take in." The whole flock was in shock at the fact that I had just apologized for something so insignificant; eyebrows raised, eyes about to pop out, and jaws practically touching the floor.
I just rolled my eyes and followed Percy as he said,"Hey guys, it's already dinner time. Since your parents havn't claimed you yet, you can sit at my table." We all nodded and followed him to the giant dining area. I took a seat between Fang and Angel, with Nudge on the other side of Angel. Iggy, Gazzy, and Percy were sitting on the other side. Some of the other campers were giving us looks, but I ignored them and continued eating.
MAN, these guys could cook. By the time I was done with 5 plates of food, Percy had only just finished his first. I blushed a bit, I probably looked like a pig. Not very attractive...
A couple minutes later, we were all done and went over to the campfire. There we all talked and laughed; all in all it was pretty fun.
Suddenly everything got quiet. I looked to Percy, and he pointed above Nudge's head. There was a symbol there, and then the guy who's name I had forgotten (the centaur) said,"Monique/Nudge, daughter of Aphrodite." Then suddenly there was a puff of smoke, and standing there was Nudge, but she was beautiful. Her hair hung down her back in perfect brown and caramel ringlets, and she was wearing a long white dress. Her face had the perfect blend of make up, too.
"What?" she asked. Someone handed her a mirror, and she looked into it, eyes popping out of her head. She squealed as everyone clapped and sat back down. The same thing happened to the rest of us. Well, most of us. Iggy was son of Hermes, Fang was son of Ares, Angel was daughter of Athena, and Gazzy was also son of Hermes. Now the only person left was me.
