I went to my friend Jaz. It was late at night and I looked like some gangster's girlfriend. I even earned a few stares from people. I hope my disguise is working real well. I parked my motorcycle near Jaz's house and knocked on the door putting my shades on in case the person who opens the door is not Jaz. Thankfully it was Jaz. She looked up and down and said "Who are you? What do you want?"
Seriously? Is my disguise working too well?
"It's me Zia," I said removing my shades. Jaz was shocked and her jaw dropped open. She grabbed her phone but I grabbed it before she could call my dad.
"I escaped. Isn't that cool?" I said jumping but Jaz was still shocked
"Anyways, I'm not staying here;" I said "I was thinking of dropping my motorcycle here. Keep it; my parents don't even know I have a motorcycle."
"B-but." She said "What if I get jailed for helping you?"
"Deny everything," I said "Tell them I eloped with my boyfriend or something like that… but don't tell them I'm at Brooklyn."
"But what if Anubis, your fourteen year-old bodyguard gets you?" she asked a little worried
"He'll never get me." I said but I looked at Jaz who was looking behind me.
"He's right behind me." I murmured and turned around and saw Anubis. He's this cute guy with pale skin and tousled black hair. But sadly, not my type.
"Where are you going Ms. Rashid?" he asked
"Go away Anubis," I said "I don't need you."
"I'll help with this escape. I'll offer you a house in Brooklyn, where Sadie lives." He said "I promise not to tell anyone."
Weird
"But why are you helping me?" I asked "You're my bodyguard; dad will fire you if you run away with me."
"You're saying this like we're in a relationship" he said "I'm helping you because-."
"Because what?"
"I'm going to Brooklyn, to my girlfriend Sadie Kane." He said "Now, do you know Julius Osiris Kane?"
"Yeah," I said trying to remember him. I was pretty sure I heard that name before "Mr. Kane? The archeologist who's dad's enemy?"
"Yeah." He said "He's my boss."
"WHAT?" I said "You're passing information to him? You're trying to ruin us!"
"No-." he said "Here's the plan… Mr. Kane wants to be friends with Mr. Rashid. The problem is your dad is too arrogant to accept his sorry. So, you know Mr. Kane has a son, right?"
"Yeah."
"So, think," he said "The only possible way Mr. Rashid will accept Mr. Kane's apology is if you would- um- be friends with his son,"
"You mean date his son?" I screamed "Are you kidding me?"
"No!" he said "Think…this will create a Romeo and Juliet kind of story… except you won't die… plus it's just a pretend."
"But," I said "I'll dump him once I made my dad and his dad make up?"
"Yeah." He said "Then you can go back to your old life."
I wasn't the type of girl who would just use a guy it would make me feel guilty if I dump this guy. Trust me; I've been dumped too many times.
"Deal," I said "But where would I meet him?"
"Easy," he said "We'll go to Brooklyn right now."
"I'll take my motorcycle," I said "I have an idea"

It was my sister's birthday today. Great. Probably she would be on a date with her emo boyfriend (Don't tell Sadie I told you that. She will kill me). Back to the story. Before Sadie wakes up, I grabbed my car keys and drove around. I was looking around for a place to hang out while Sadie and Anubis go out. I wasn't looking for a few seconds when I hit a motorcycle. The girl who was riding the motorcycle must have lost her grip and just rolled on my car.
I quickly went out and looked at the girl. The pretty girl. I removed her helmet and she has this pretty Arabic features. Her black hair was trimmed along her jawline. Her eyes were pretty. She looked very familiar. She had blood running through her forehead. Her lips were trembling.
"Are you okay?" I asked. Many people were surrounding us now.
"Take me to the hospital." She managed to say and I carried her bridal style to my car and drove to the hospital.
Little did I know this girl was going to change my life.
Wow, well that was short. Sorry for that. Anyways, sorry I haven't uploaded. You see I was the vice-president of my religious club IHMA and I was running for president for my academic club ABAKADA. And I have a little problem with my ehemcrushehem. So I have a little trouble writing a love story. Also, this Saturday is our Card Distribution and I'm a little worried about my grades.

P.S.
To all you who also read PJO, did you notice some of the chapters in the Titan's Curse are kind of similar to the ones in the Throne of Fire… In the Titan's Curse "An Old Dead Friend Comes To Visit" while in the Throne of Fire "An Old Red Friend Comes to Visit" and "I Make a Dangerous Promise" and "I Make An Impossible Promise."
