HEY! ITS BEEN SO LONG! I cant believe I haven't updated since...well it has been so long I cant remember when I last updated. I hope you guys were patient and I am sorry this is such a short chapter. I really do apologize. So here we go with chapter 3 of MAGNETISM!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO.
Okay so Lizzy didn't seem to believe the orientation video. When she came out of the room where it was, she commented on how real looking the special effects were. Lizzy also said that it would make a great commercial for a sci-fi movie.
"I have no idea why I am at this camp though," she concluded. Chiron and I stared at her. Maybe she was in denial. There was only one way to convince her now. I nodded to Chiron and he got out of his wheelchair.
It was much easier to convince Lizzy after that. I could tell however that she still was a little unsure of whether or not she was dreaming. I couldn't blame her. I didn't believe it at first either.
"So what you are saying," Lizzy said for what seemed like the thousandth time that day as we left the big house, "is that Greek gods and goddesses actually exist and every kid here is a demi-god. And I have a godly parent as well?"
"Yes," I said, trying to not sound annoyed. "And until you are claimed, which should be soon since you are 13 like me, you are going to be staying in the Hermes cabin."
"Hey, Hunter!" I stopped in my tracks. I knew who had just said my name. Why couldn't the monsters have eaten him this year?
I turned around to come face to face with Zachary Carson, son of Eris. I glared at him as he walked over to me. This kid takes the prize for the most annoying kid in the entire camp. He is more annoying than Nico.
"So I see the monsters didn't kill you this year, Hunter," he said, smirking. "What happened to your hair? Did a Hyperborean freeze you at one point this year?"
"Well I can see you haven't changed much since last summer. Except maybe your ego has gotten bigger," I retorted.
"You are just jealous because I got to stay full year at camp and train while you had to go back to your stupid books." What a pathetic insult.
"Well while you were becoming a stupid jock, I got smarter than you. And I think you may have gotten even more stupid than you were last year." I could tell I had hit a nerve. His smirk turned into a glare. He glanced at Lizzy for a brief second. Then his green eyes turned back on me.
"You just wait until this Friday for capture the flag, Hunter," he said. "We are gonna pummel you."
"In your dreams, Carson," I said. I grabbed Lizzy's carry on and walked past the blonde son of Eris. He tried to trip me, but he was the one who ended up on the grass.
After we had made sure that all the Hermes campers knew that if they took Lizzy's stuff that they would have to report to Nico, Lizzy confronted me when we reached the lake.
"Who was that boy with the blonde hair and green eyes?" she demanded.
"Zachary Carson, son of Eris," I said through gritted teeth. Just saying his name sets me off.
"Why were you fighting with him like a cat and a dog?"
"'Cause we hate each other's guts."
"Okay, just checking." There was silence for a while. Then Lizzy asked "When am I going to meet your boyfriend?"
"Excellent question." Where was Alex? He said he missed me a lot in his letters. Just as I was considering that I should go look for him, some hands covered my eyes.
"Guess who."
I grinned and turned around. There he was. My wonderful boyfriend, Alex, son of Eos, with his lovely brown hair and tan skin, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, gave me a big hug. When we finished, Alex put his arm around me. I grinned at Lizzy, whose mouth was wide open in shock.
"Alex, this is Lizzy," I said, gesturing to the dumbstruck friend of mine. She closed her mouth, still giving us the bug eyes.
"'Sup Lizzy," Alex said when Liz didn't respond. That seemed to get her back to her senses. She assumed a more composed facial expression.
"Nice to meet you Alex. Addie has told me so much about you," she replied stiffly. I wonder why she is being so formal, but I don't have time to. Alex is talking to me.
"So I was wondering if you would like to go to the beach to hang out Addie." I looked up at him and grinned.
"Sure, that sounds great." I replied and we walked off to the beach, hand in hand, leaving a presumably furious Lizzy Jensen standing by herself.
Again sorry it is short. Also, check out Lost in Darkness if you like Kingdom Hearts!
P.S. The next chapter might be written this weekend and may or may not be in Lizzy's POV!
