Percy
Annabeth was so furious about what had almost happened between us, she slapped me across the face. Through the guilt burning in my stomach and the searing pain in my cheek, I couldn't take it anymore. So I left. I walked out the door, down to my cabin and into the comfort of my bed. As I lay there thinking about what just happened, I somehow drifted off.
I always have dreams. Sometimes they're just your average dream, sometimes I can kind of see things. No, I'm not psychic, but I can just guess about the future. That's why it was no surprise when my best friend back home came up in my dream.
Grover was sitting on a rock playing his set of pipes, the grass seeming to sway to the beat. The waves crashed on the shore nearby. I recognized it as Camp-Half Blood, New York.
He didn't notice me for a while so I just stood there enjoying the beat of "Glad you came" by The Wanted. It wasn't until I started humming to the beat that he noticed me.
"Perce! How are you, man? What are you doing here?" he said, surprised.
"I'm in a dream" I tell him.
"This is my dream to! Awesome! We're having a double dream!" he cries, obviously overjoyed to see me. He envelops me in a bone-crushing bear hug. Another guy clears his throat behind Grover. I look over and am surprised to see Jason Grace, who should be at his home camp in California. We met over the exchange program.
"Jason?" Grover and I cry at once, then crush him in a killer hug.
"Woah! Hey guys! This is the best dream ever!" he exclaims while laughing. Grover and I immediately let go of him and look at each other.
"Um, Jason, we're dreaming to. Is it weird we're all in the same dream?" Grover says. Just as the words were out of his mouth, 2 more familiar shapes appeared. I don't mean they walked over to us, they just appeared.
"Nico! Frank!" I yelled. They ran over to us, crushing us into one giant group hug. My shoulder blades crushed to
"Hey, are you guys in a dream to?" asked Grover wearily. They both nodded. Usually, Frank should have been at the Caldecott Tunnel Camp Half-Blood with Jason and Nico should have been in L.A. (the entrance to the underworld!). For gods know how long we just sat and caught up with each other. I learned that Grover got a girlfriend and Jason had gotten closer to his sister, Thalia, who goes to my camp.
When I woke up, I found myself feeling more free than I had since I left home. Who knew you could get homesick if you hated home? A conch horn sounded, signaling breakfast and jolted me out of my thoughts.
As I rushed down a worn path down to breakfast, we merged with another path and I hit something, or rather, someone.
"OW!" cried a petite girl about my age as she hit the ground. I immediately knelt down and offered her my hand.
"Oh my gods, I am so sorry! I guess I just wasn't watching where I was going! I am SO sorry!" I ramble. Now that she's standing up, I realise she can't be much more than 5.7. She only comes up to my chest! She has deep mahogany hair and chocolate skin, I note.
"I'm fine, thanks. It's alright, if I had been looking, we wouldn't have collided. I'm Hazel by the way." She says and holds out her hand. I awkwardly fist bump her open palm and she looks at me funny.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I mentally slap myself for being so stupid.
"Uh, sorry!" I stammer, but she just brushes it off. She stares at me and cocks her head.
"What?" I ask.
"Your name?" she asks.
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
"Oh, uh, yeah! Uh, Percy." I stammer. Way to woo the ladies, Perce.
"Well, Percy, do you want to walk with me?" Hazel asks.
"Uh, sure." I reply. I've pretty much given up on trying to be cool, because as I've proven so far, I'm not capable of it.
"So, where do u come from, Percy?" she asks after a moment of awkward silence.
"Manhattan, but camp is on Long Island Sound. You?" I ask.
"The California branch, by Caldecott tunnel."
"Really? My friends go there! Do you by any chance know a Jason Grace or Frank Zang?"
"YES! Frank is actually my boyfriend! And Jason, well, I don't really know him, but I know of him!"
"Small world, huh?"
"Yup!"
By the time we get to breakfast, I feel much better. I've worked thing out with Annabeth, talked to my old friends and made my first new friend.
Life is good!
