*Savannah's POV*
I walked inside and wanted to hurl. The smell was... disgusting...Designer perfume. Yuck. Most people would love the scent. I'm not a whole...girly girl thing...type. Gracie was looking in her closest. She saw me and squealed. She slammed into with a hug. I smelled the perfume and gagged, I still tried to smile though.
"Girls. I need your help." I said quietly. They all nodded. They all split into groups, pulling me in different directions. Angela and a few other girls pulled me through this huge curtain and pushed me into this huge leather chair. they spun me around a few times and started applying all this make up on me. It was actually, sorta relaxing. I closed my eyes and thought about my real feelings for Percy.
He was kinda cute. He was funny. Helpful. Caring. And I have to admit, I felt closer to him then the average friend. But if he was friends with that jealous Annabeth girl...Maybe he wasn't that cool. Suddenly there was a yanking at my arm. The Aphrodite girls were done with my make-up. They pulled me off to the bathroom with different hair styling tools laid out on the counter. They sat me down on a with chair and started curling my hair. This time I listened to their conversation.
"I love Savannah! She's so much more...fun then Annabeth!"One girl said
"Yeah! I know right! She's so pretty!" Another shouted.
"We're on your side! You have another home now. Here at the Aphrodite cabin!" They all said.
Now I was being pulled off to 'wardrobe' as they called it. They shoved different fabrics at me and I heard screaming and arguing until they finally shoved me in the dressing room. I quickly put the clothes on and stepped outside.
All of them smiled and screamed like I was on a makeover show. Which I guess I was... They pulled out this full length mirror for me and I gasped. My brown hair was curled in ringlets and my eyes had barely noticeable eyeshadow on. It was a light pink that got a little darker toward my eyebrows. I had on mascara and a berry colored lipstick. Now normally I would never be caught with make-up on, but I was desperate. No one but the Aphrodite cabin could make me look this good. I straighted the blue shirt I was wearing. All the girls started shoving me outside all of a sudden.
"What's the rush guys?" I asked.
"It's time." they all said.
"For what?" I asked cautiously.
"Your grand entrance." They said. I nodded and they all ran ahead of me off to the dinning pavilion. All except one girl.
"So you're Savannah?" she asked. She brushed her black hair out of her eyes. They were a shocking...gold?
"Um...yeah. Who are you?" I asked. She swallowed at straighted her green shirt.
"I'm Maria." She said. I looked into her eyes. It was kinda strange...but they were beautiful. They weren't yellow. They were gold. All sparkled.
"Yeah..." I said awkwardly. She sighed.
"You like Percy right? That's why your doing this?" She asked.
"Um..." I said. I could feel my face heat up.
"Well. I should let you know that I'm rooting for Annabeth. Cause she's my friend. You have no idea what she's been through. She lost Percy once. She almost killed herself. I don't want her to lose him again." She said. OK. She's Annabeth's friend.
"OK! Listen. I've had as hard of a time as her! I deserve Percy as much as she does!" i yelled. Maria's face went pale, but slowly started gaining color.
"LISTEN CHICK! ANNABETH WASN'T WANTED BY HER DAD AND STEP-MOM! SHE RAN AWAY WHEN SHE WAS SEVEN! SHE WAS ALWAY THOUGHT OF AS WEIRD BY THOSE WHO JUDGE HER! Like you. Percy has been her friend since they were twelve! They've been through it all. She...Loves him. So don't go telling me she's not just as amazing as anyone else worthy of Percy!" She said. I looked at her. Maybe Annabeth was all bad...
"I'm sorry. I never knew...I just...Athena's allowed to have children. Hera. Not so much. I could die any day now! I just want someone I can trust. And so far...that's Percy." I said. Maria's eyes calmed down a bit.
"No. I'm sorry I yelled. You actually seem pretty nice...I just want Annabeth to be happy. If you had seen her the past few years..." She said wistfully. I nodded. She grabbed my shoulder.
"Come on. I'm hungry. Let's go eat." she said. I smiled and we left for the Dining Pavilion.
*Percy's POV*
I'm STARVING! I sat down at my table and started inhaling my food. Then out of no where, I heard a gasp. I looked at the door to see Savannah. I think...Her hair was curled and I'm not sure if she was wearing make-up. She went over to the Hera table and sat down, while everyone stared. I mean she looked good but...it wasn't natural. It wasn't Savannah. I looked over at Annabeth and saw her breaking her plastic fork in half. I got up and walked over to Annabeth
"Hey what's wrong?" I asked. She smiled.
"Oh! Nothing! Gosh, what would make you think that something was wrong?"She asked. I pointed to the fork.
"Oh...yeah that well...My burger was cold. Isn't that awful?" She asked. I nodded and walked away. Girls are one of the only things that give me migraines. I sat down and kept eating, until Grover slid his tray next to me.
"Hey man! What's up?" He asked. I looked up at him.
"Not much..." I said.
"Did you see Savannah? She looks...I mean...wow." He finish. I rolled my eyes.
"Juniper man." He shook his head and mad a face at Savannah.
"You're right man. Juniper's way better. Her mom didn't try to kill us..." He said. I nodded slowly.
I went out to the practice field to do some training. I felt kinda out of shape, but I was still better then the other campers. I stabbed the practice dummy until I felt someone behind me. I swung my sword in a wide arch, nearly killing poor Savannah.
"Nice to see you too Percy!" She said sarcastically. I smiled and went back to Sword fighting. She tapped my shoulder.
"Um... Percy...I'm no good with a sword and I was wondering if you could help me..." She said slowly. I nodded and shook some hairs out of my eyes. I picked up a nearby practice sword and handed it to Savannah. She took it slowly and held it in the air like a light saber. I laughed and pointed my sword at her the right way. She quickly mimicked my position.
"Now the key is to try to disarm or kill your opponent..." I said. She nodded and I showed her an example with the dummy.
"Ready." She said. I got into position and was about to strike. "WAIT! Am trying to hurt you...or just disarm you?" She asked.
"Either one works..." I said grinning. We got into our stances and lunged. Savannah was kinda of...bad with a sword. She was swinging the sword carelessly. Apparently she got frustrated and she lunged the sword forward, right into my arm. She stumbled backward and closed her eyes.
"OMG! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to_" She said. She opened her eyes and saw me perfectly unharmed. "Wha...?" She said. I smiled.
"I took a dip in the River Styx." I explained. She nodded and started laughing. We went back to sparing, but this time, she didn't feel so bad about stabbing me. It tingled, but I did get annoyed with it after a while. She decided to stop after a while, just as the sun was going down.
"Thanks Percy..." She said. I nodded.
"No problem." I said. Quickly, Savannah wrapped her arms around me and hugged me. I was shocked, but I didn't push her away. It was just a thank you right? Of course my life can't go easy though. The next sounds made my heart stop altogether.
How was that? Good huh? I didn't put a song spoiler in there. It didn't really fit...There might be one next time! I'm kinda surprised how many people respond to the song spoilers though. Most of them with the right answer. Good Job!
