Adam's POV
"How'd you do that?" Coach said, "You were faster than anyone I know. You even get along well. Tell you what, with you leading them, we could make it to finals. You should become captain this year."
Are–are you serious? This wannabe hotshot randomly steps in, steals the love of my life, becomes popular in a matter of minutes, and steals my captain seat? This guy is ruining my life!
After tryouts, the team, including the newbies, did a few exercises before calling it a day.
Then, me, Annabeth, Alexia, Sean, and Percy went to a nearby cafe. It was around sunset so we needed a quick snack before heading home.
We sat down and got the menus.
"So Perce," Alexia started,
"Why'd you transfer in the middle of the year?" She asked
The guys nodded in agreement, and even I wanted to know.
"Oh. Well," Percy looked at Annabeth as if asking permission, and she nodded.
"I kind of, blew up a gym...?" He said, unsure of our reaction. Who wouldn't be unsure?
Everyone fell into silence, and even I didn't know how to react.
"Haha. Nice one Percy." Sean said
"But, I'm serious. It was on the news yesterday." Percy replied to Sean. It did seem like he wasn't joking around.
Silence resumed once more
"So!" Annabeth said suddenly, surprising the most of us.
"Let's order?" She said trying to change the topic, and she did.
"Oh, uh, yeah sure." Sean replied
Percy gave out the menus to all of us.
Once we were ready, I called the waiter over to us.
"What will it be?" The waiter said, in a blank bored tone. He probably wanted to go home already.
"I'd like a mozzarella burger and a blue drink please." Percy said.
"Is blue lemonade okay with you? We don't have anything else blue." The waiter said, as nonchalantly as possible
"Yeah sure, as long as it's blue, I guess." Percy replied
"Can I have egg casserole and coffee?" Annabeth said. The waiter murmured something I couldn't hear, but wrote it down anyways.
"I want two mozzarella burgers too, and maybe a butter and sugar crepe." Alexia gave her order, which surprised all of us.
"You're gonna eat all that?" I asked
"Of course not, it's for Justin, he'll catch up with us soon." Alexia answered, clearing all our confused looks.
"Alright then. I want a hearty breakfast." Sean said. Percy looked at him confused, probably asking why he would get something for breakfast at sunset.
"What? I mean, as long as it tastes good right?" Sean defended himself, Percy shrugged,
"As long as you finish it." Percy kind of sounded like a mom, but, eh.
"How 'bout you Adam?" Annabeth asked me
"Oh, uh," I haven't even looked at the menu. I was distracted by, well, distractions.
"I'll get a vanilla shake...?" It sounded more like a question than what I wanted it to be.
"Are you sure man? It's a small drink." Percy said concerned.
"Uh, make that a large vanilla shake." I said to the waiter.
The waiter nodded, "I'll be right back with your food."
Just as the waiter left, the rain started pouring.
"I didn't know it would rain today." Percy said
"Of course you wouldn't, you're too dumb to watch TV" Annabeth answered
"Ooooh, burn." Sean butted in
"Ouch, Wise Girl. But sorry, I do watch TV." Percy said back.
"Really? What channel?" Annabeth said.
"Uhm, Disney Channel...?" Everyone bursted out laughing, including myself. I mean, Disney Channel? That's for middle schoolers.
Then, the door of the cafe opened to a soaked man. His eyes scanned the area until it landed on us. He walked towards us until I realized he kind of looked like—
"Hey guys, am I late?" Justin said, with a grin on his face. He was wearing his basketball shorts and a maroon hoodie.
"Justin! No, no, I think our order is about to arrive anytime soon." Alexia said, her mood lighting up.
"Why are you soaking wet?" I asked.
"Oh uh, the team used the bus to go to Chili's. So I ran here." Justin explained.
"Chili's? Isn't that the opposite way?" Annabeth questioned. It was true, the school sat in the middle of Chili's and the cafe we're in right now, around 2 kilometers away, both ways.
"You ran all the way here? After a game? You're my idol, dude." Percy said with a smile on his face.
Justin sat down next to Alexia, and they started small talk between themselves.
The food arrived and everyone started digging in.
"Fish ish lewd staph" Percy said, his mouth stuffed from the burger huge burger he was eating. He swallowed and repeated,
"This is good stuff!"
"Same here." Sean said eating his breakfast meal.
We finished eating/drinking all our food, split the bill and headed out.
Until we realized the rain was still going.
