Angelica (mortal girl)'s POV
It was the last day before Thanksgiving break.
And I was anythign but thankful.
My longtime crush, Percy Jackson, had ignored me all year. And I was actually trying this time. Not like last year, when I'd just stood on the sidelines and waited until it was too late-aka when he had that family emergency thing for like the whole year. And came back with a girlfriend. Who looked amazing, I should add.
And she wasn't dumb. She was the smartest person in Goode.
Annabeth had gone off to Chicago a week ago. Something about her own family emergency. I secretly hoped she'd come back with her own boyfriend. One not named Percy Jackson.
I stood out on the curb with my friends, waiting for Percy to come out. I wanted to invite him to my family's Thanksgiving. Or rather, Friendsgiving. By now he'd probably given up on Annabeth. Or so I hoped.
And then he was there. Walking down the steps of Goode on his own, for once skipping swim team practice. Not that he needed it. He was amazing without practice. He was the whole reason we hadn't lost a match since last school year.
I went right up to him. "Hey Percy, my family's having a Freindsgiving dinner tomorow, and I wanted ot know if you'd come with me?" I put on my best, most dazzling smile, and flirted with my eyes.
Percy looked surprised, but shook his head. "Sorry, Angelica. I'm heading out to California, go join some..distant cousins, you could call them. It's the first THanksgiving we're doing a double-camp feast since August, and now that everything's more settled we want to have some fun and realax."
"You're not even spending it wiht your own parents?" I asked, deisbelivingly.
"Nope, my mom and stepdad are actually going to my stepdad's family's THanksgiving." he shrugged.
"When are you leaving?" I asked, disappointedly. I could feel my friends throwing a pity party for me behind my back.
Percy now grinned. "Right about...now." he said, just as a van labeled Delphi Strawberry Farm pulled into the parking lot.
Actually, there were 3 vans, but two stayed out on the street. Which was kind of weird but whatever.
The one that pulled into the parking lot rolled to stop in front of us. Almost immediately, the driver sidee door swung open and an angry-looking brunnette jumped out.
"Prissy, get into the driver's seat right now or else I'm maiming you." she growled.
Percy seemed unfazed. "How come you were driving, Clarisse? I thought Argus or Jules Albert usually drive?"
The pasanger window rolled down, and an Italian boy with very emo attire poked his head out. "Will's not letting me call him up. And Argus is driving the van with the majority of Cabins 20, 11, and 5. And Miranda."
I wondered how 3 whole cabins of people could fit in one van but didn't push it.
The blond hair of another boy peeked over the ravan hair of the first boy. "C'mon, we're gonna be late! Reyna and Frank are gonna organize a round of War Games before dinner if we have time and we're doing a campfire too!"
"Wait, guys, hold up. Who's your friend, Prissy?" Clarisse asked.
Percy glanced over, as if just remembering me. "Oh yeah, um, guys, this is Angelica, one of my classmates. Angelica meet-wait, who's in this van?"
"Everyone, out!" Clarisse yanked open the side door and at least 13 teenagers tumbled out. Some looked annoyed, some looked dazed, and one was trying to flirt with me instantly.
"Hey, hottie. You're looking g-OW, Callie!"
"Stop flirting with everyone, you have a girlfriend. Me." Callie scolded the Latino loveelf.
Percy snickered. "Angelica, these are my friends, Clarisse, Will," the blond boy waved over the emo kid's head, "Nico, who's actually my cousin," the emo boy scowled, "Jason, another cousin, and Piper," Another blond with glasses and a girl that I recognized as the daughter of Tristen McLean (my favorite actor, who is totallly hot by the way!), "Travis and Katie, and Travi's not-twin-brother Conner," Two almost-identical boys and a brunette girl waved, "Clarisse's boyfriend, Chris," a much taller boy that had the same mischievious eyes as Conner and Travis, "Lou Ellen and Cecil," a girl with weirdly purple eyes and another mischeivious-eyed boy, "Grover, Leo, and Calypso." Percy finished, gesturign to a teen with crutches and the Latino loveelf and his extremely good-looking girlfriend.
"Angelica, eh? Derived from the word Angel, right? Hey di Angelo, doens't your name come from that word too?" Chris asked.
Nico glared. "Shut. Up. Rodriguez. I don't care if your girlfriend is a good fighter or not, and I'm more then happy to bash you over hte head for that."
"Which you won't be doing, because you recently ran into Thalia's pine-" Will started,
"-and my wonderful sister is still really mad about that and probably wouldn't mind, oh, I don't know, sticking your finger into a socket or something for doing so. You kinda left a dent." Jason finished.
"We got it on video. We'll get the Revenge of Thalia on there too." Travis snickered, which made Katie slap him.
"Ok, let's just get moving. Nice meeting you, Angelica, have a great THanksgiving! Percy, you're driving to the next rest stop and then Nico acan call up Jules-Albert on the way so we don't have to listen to music from Aquaman or 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or Atlantis: THe Last Empire or something." Piper cut in. "Besides, we still have to pick up Annabeth."
I fellt my heart die when Percy's face lit up at Annabeth's name. Guess they were still dating after all.
"Alright, fine. See you later, Angelica." he waved, taking CLarisse's place in the driver's seat. I swore I heard him mutter something about "having the cleaning harpies drive" but dismissed it and faked happiness as the teens piled back into the van and drove off again.
And as I did, I noticed my shoes were gone. Which made no sense since I'd never lifted my feet off the gorund.
That was really weird. But was was weirder was that I saw them lying on the steps to the entrance to Goode.
Huh. Strange.
Just like the rest of Percy Jackson.
