Chapter VII

Katie's POV

Dorm

One Day Left

Oh my gods! Percy was sooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! The girls were still squealing and Annabeth was lying down laughing at our misunderstanding. And then suddeny, Katie had a thought.

"Hey, we have to apologize to Percy and the boys," she says. And that silenced everyone except Annabeth who kept on laughing and saying "Yes, yes you do" We muttered apologies to her and she lauged her acceptance.

"But you aren't going to find any of them in the room, I think," Katie said. They asked why. Well, Katie laughed inwardly thinking of Travis's stomach.

"Think of it," Katie smiles. "Nico shadowtraveled us here one by one," Kate says. And Annabeth catches on.

"Percy getting chased," Annabeth says. And Mitchel, Lacy, and Kayla gets it now.

"Not to mention that Travis and Connor's stomachs are as big as an elephant's" Kayla says grinning. Katie find it funny that Kayla finds it funny that Travis has a big stomach. Or maybe it's just that she knows the truth. Either way, she couldn't wait to tell Travis about it.

"Oooh, so they're either sleeping (because of Clovis) hahaha, or eating in the cafeteria!" Lacy says.

"But then, boys are boys, and no way they aren't hungry" Mitchel adds.

"Food hunting it is!" Annabeth says getting the map of the school from one of the drawers. That was the first thing they found in the room

Annabeth says, "I bet you they never found the map" laughing. The others laughed too. "I bet you they're lost right now" Katie says. Hahaha. "Boys," they all say at once.

Katie fixes herself up, and they all head down to the lobby of the dorm. The dorm looked like a hotel. The dorm manager seemed uninterested with them. Katie noticed Mitchel looking at someone and nudding Lacy to look to.

Kate followed their gaze. Oh. He was tall. He had a nice built. He was a bit tanned. He had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing glasses. Usually, glasses made boys look like a nerd. It made him look handsome and cute.

Katie heard Annabeth mumble and grin about something like pranking the boys. "A plan worthy of Athena" she says mischievously.

Katie felt like she knew what Lacy and Mitchel were telling each other a boy-toy worthy of Aphrodite. She saw Kayla shaking her head as if agreeing with her thoughts.

And, oh, Aphrodite forbid, the boy was walking towards them. Or maybe the counter of the dorm manager? But besides them and the dorm manager, there was no one there.

"Hello, ladies. Since I have never seen anyone of you here before, I take it that you're the transfer students," he asks with a Spanish accent.

"Uhm, yes, I guess. Who are you?" Kayla asks them and Katie could see Lacy a little annoyed that Kayla got to her first. Oh my gods, thought Katie. Does Kayla..? But then, Travis would be…well, whatever. Travis is sooo gonna owe Katie for this.

"I've been rude. Sorry. I'm a junior, and I've been assigned to be your tour guide for the whole school," he smiled, and Lacy and Mitchel took no more further encouragement than that.

"Hello, I'm Lacy," she said smiling.

"Mitchel" holding her hand out. They shook hands.

"Hi, my name's Katie" she said

"And I'm Annabeth. Yours?" she asked. Katie had no idea when Annabeth noticed the guy.

"Everyone calls me Tus here," he smiles. Tus. It rhymes with cuss.

"Ah, so shall we start?" he says and leads the way.

Annabeth's POV

Touring

OneDayLeft

I sigh. Now I have to follow this hot guy instead of finding where Percy is. We walk out of the dorm. There's something suspicious about the hot guy, what was his name again? Tus or something.

Of course, Lacy and Mitchel are smitten. Katie, well, she was checking him out when she first saw him. Wonder if I should tell Travis about this? Haha. Kayla on the other hand, I don't know. She obviously gaped for a while, but she doesn't seem to be too interested now.

Meanwhile, I, well yzes, I agree he is hot. And he's about an inch or two taller than Percy. And his hair is curly as if it's tempting you to ruffle it unlike Percy's which was, well, straight, but messy that looks good on him. And he's eyes are like blue gems, sapphire maybe, unlike Percy's sea-green. But that's the point. He's not Percy.

Plus, I don't trust him. He was sizing us. Not the way boys do when they see someone hot, or when they meet someone they want to make friends with. Not that way but the I-wonder-what-you-can-do kind that half-bloods seem to pick up.

It was just for a second though. A second and no more. Oh and did I mention that he's being flanked by Lacy and Mitchel right now? I think he's overwhelmed by them, like normal boys do when they see children of Aphrodite, but he seems to be good at hiding it.

He told us that Mr Paul told the principal when we'll come. The actual orientation was actually at two pm still, so the principal decided that we'd go around the school first.

The school was pretty organized.

The largest building for classrooms (which includes their computer rooms, AVR, and stuff like that), flanked by two small faculty buildings for the teachers, and another building for other clubs that weren't related to sports, a smaller one for an auditorium, and they had a library with three floors. GODS OF OLYMPUS I AM STARTING TO LOVE THIS PLACE. The buildings acted as if they were the circumference of a circle. The area of the circle is where general assemblies are held (like Flag ceremonies).

The main building was the one that was facing the main gate. They had four gates. The school was pretty much out of town with a lot of greenery, so it wasn't really hard I guess, for them to put up the soccer fields and other fields like that.

We ate at the cafeteria1 (there's two of them) in the main building but there were no boys in sight. Soon enough after making a lap around the campus (we didn't really enter the buildings so much. I think Tus didn't want to get us too tired. Not his fault he doesn't know the campus isn't nearly as big as Camp).

We went back to the main building and on the third floor was the screening rooms with projectors and stuffs. When we entered the room we saw the boys!

"Aria! Finally, I found you" Tus exclaimed. The boys turned their heads to us and a glint on their eyes appeared.

"Tus!" said the Aria girl.

I looked at the boys and saw Travis, Connor and Clovis looking at Aria. Oooooh. And then I noticed Katie sending warning signals to Travis. Another oooh. Meanwhile, Percy, and I was going to punch him if he was looking at Aria too, was not looking at Aria but grinning at me. Clovis, on the other hand…wait, what?

"Clovis! You're awake!" I exclaimed making the first move towards the boys.

"Oh, you know them?" Tus asked me

"Hey, Tus, who're they?" said Aria.

"Ah, they're transferees. I see you got stuck with the job too," he said happily as if getting stuck with the job was fun.

"You know each other?" Aria asked gesturing the boys and us as the boys made their way to the door.

"Funny, I remember the principal that there was only a few couple of students who went to the same school" Tus said.

"We met each other at a camp," Percy spoke up. "Hi, I'm Percy" adds Percy offering his hand

"I'm Tus, a junior here" he says as they shake hands. "Same as me," he says.

"Call me Aria. I'm a senior. Tus is my brother," she says. And Travis, Connor, and Clovis didn't seem to mind. Nico was beside Percy. Observing as usual, but not participating. Meanwhile Kayla and Katie sad 'oh' as the family resemblance seem to dawn on them. On the other hand Lacy and Mitchel seemed happy the girl wasn't competition. Sigh. They aren't usually like this. But once in a while, their blood gets to them and poof! You have heart breakers on the loose! They'll come to their senses soon.

"This is Travis and Connor Stoll," Percy says elbowing them to pay attention. Finally seemed to be out of the daze they returned to their normal selves.

"Sup" "Yo" they grinned at the same time.

"And this is Nico," Percy gestures and Nico nods. "And Clovis" he points at Clovis.

"Aria, this is Katie, Mitchel, Lacy, Kayla, and Annabeth," Tus said pointing at each one and finally placing a hand on my shoulder which took all my power not to cringe at the effort not to pin him on the ground. Percy, sensing my discomfort, slide to my side.

"Yeah." Placing his hand on my waist pulling me to side. "My girl—" and then he stopped himself. Right. The breakup. It seemed weird that I wasn't his anything.

"I mean, mi Corazon," he says smiling and puts his hand away from my waist. The boys seemed to be laughing. And the girls seem to be 'aaaaw'-ing and I seem to be seriously doubting that Percy knows the meaning of Corazon and has just heard it in one of those Spanish what nots he watches.

"Okay" Tus said putting his hands up while smiling.

Nico's POV

AVR Room

OneDayLeft: Orientation Video

The room was dark and had a wide screen on the front for the projector. There was only one door, and so only one way to go in and out. There were ten columns parted in between to make way for the projector, and five rows. Nico sat beside Percy's left. Annabeth was in Percy's right. On Nico's left was Clovis. They were on the third row.

On the other side and on the fourth row, Travis, Kayla, and Katie sat together respectively. In front of Travis on the third row was Connor who was beside Tus.

On the second row, back on Nico's side was Lacy sitting together with her sister and Aria. Aria was in front of Percy.

"Look at them," Percy whispered to Nico as the orientation film was starting. "They're like a row of super stars," he said and Nico sees Annabeth pinching Percy by the ear. "Who were a row of superstars?" she whispered.

Nico didn't think he was meant to hear that because she said it so softly (but mind you, it was still a scary tone) that he was barely sure that that was what he hear. Nico heard Percy explain. "You didn't let me finish. I was about to say 'only, they don't have Annabeth sitting with them' ow!" he said

"Smooth" Nico whispered. And looked to the row in front of them. They were like a bunch of superstars. His gaze was on Aria's wrist which was flailing down her sit. There was a mark at her wrist, kind of like a tattoo.

The tattoo was some sort of bird's eye surrounded by some wavy lines that curved sharply like a blade so that it made it look like feathers.

As if sensing Nico's gaze, Aria glared at me suddenly, which caught me surprised. "What were you looking at?" she said. There was no trace of friendliness in her voice like it had during our tour. In fact, she didn't say it, she demanded the answer. And his glare? It was as if he committed murder. I mean, c'mon. if she wanted to have a tattoo and not let anyone see, she had a lot of choices other than her wrists. It's not a crime looking at wrists, you know!

Nico had a feeling he wasn't supposed to be looking at the tattoo. Panicking inwardly he said, "You're watch. I was wondering what brand it is." Nico says glad that she was wearing a watch. She raised her eyebrows. "Ahm, I want to…uh….I mean…the birthday of the girl I like…is ahm, coming so I was looking for a gift," he said saying the first thing that came out of his mind. His unsureness was mistaken for blushing and embarrassment. Aria told him the brand and Nico thanked him.

Weird. Who goes, berserk when someone looks at a tattoo that you put in plain sight.

The orientation started.
