Hi guys! Sorry I didn't update for so long. I was busy with school and I actually didn't have inspiration for a new chapter.
Anyways, here's a new chapter! I hope you'll like it.

I didn't understand. I didn't understand it at all. How could Grover not have seen how that horrible – woman – dragged me through the class? I mean, I was sure that we had eye contact, so he must have seen it!

I thought that things couldn't get even more weird, but I was wrong, of course. That night, after I had packed my bag and made sure I looked a bit okay, I went to Grover's room to pick him up before we would go to the party that night. I didn't like parties – I couldn't dance and I never had many friends to talk to while the others were dancing – so I made sure I'd go to as less parties as possible. But this time, Grover convinced me. "You can't go home," he said, 'The teachers will only open the doors at 9pm, which is the end of the party. And Ali, you can't stay in your room either – you don't want Ms Henderson to find you, do you?' I'd like to say that the part about Ms Henderson didn't convince me, but it actually did. Especially after that class today.

Anyway, I wanted to knock on Grover's door, until I heard that he was talking to someone.

'You have to come. I'm sure that she is a demigod, and she turns 14 in two days! You know what that means!'

I froze. My fourteenth birthday was in two days!

'Grover, I'm kinda busy, remember? The Titan's army is preparing for war! You know how strong Titans are and we have to be strong enough to face them when they arrive. But no pressure, not at all. Sure I could come to get another demigod here to protect,' a boy's voice answered. I was confused. It sounded like he was standing in the room, but he said that he was too busy to come here.

'Percy, please. I know you want to help her. I've seen a monster in here and it is quite strong. It attacked her in class and I had to manipulate the Mist so everyone forgot that it happened. But I don't know if I can do that again. We have to get her out of here, to be sure she won't get hurt.'

'How do we know that she won't get hurt in Camp, or in the war?'

'At least she will learn how to fight and well, maybe she will get hurt, but at least as a hero.'

The other boy, whose name apparently was Percy, sighed. 'Okay then, Goat Boy. I'll come and take Annabeth with me as some extra help. Where do we find you and this demigod?'

'In Boston,' Grover answered, 'at Henderson's school for problem kids.'

At this moment I freaked out and stormed inside. Grover quickly closed his tap. I looked around. Not a sign of that Percy.

'Hey, Ali,' Grover said nervously.

'What was that all about?' I asked.

'What?'

'About- about demigods, a camp and the Mist?'

'You missed what?'

I gave him an angry look. 'No, the M-I-S-T! You know what I mean!'

He looked confused, just like this afternoon. 'No, I don't. Come on, let's go to the party. You should try the snacks, because I think you're hungry, Ali. You're talking nonsense.'

He was talking very quick and ran out so fast that I was forced to drop the subject and follow him to the party.

As soon as we entered the hall where the party was, I knew that I wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Okay, the music was fine and the food was delicious, but something felt wrong.

Grover didn't seem to notice. He took me everywhere – to the food table, the dance floor, to the DJ and back to the food table.

I just wanted to tell him something was wrong, but his phone rang.

He took it out of his pocket and looked on the display. His smile immediately faded.

'I'm sorry, I have to take it,' he said.

I tried to look on the display, but he stepped back.

'See you in a minute. Stay here, okay?' he said.

'Umm… okay, but who-' I started, but Grover already disappeared.

I sighed and sat down. Grover was acting weird. Really weird. And it annoyed me.

I don't know how long I sat there, watching the dancing people, but suddenly a strange feeling came over me. I turned around and saw no-one less than Mrs. Henderson getting closer.

'You'd like something to drink, dear?' a voice said.

I jumped, but it was only the canteen lady.

'I- no thanks.' I looked over my shoulder and saw that Mrs. Henderson was really near now.

I stood up. 'I… uhm… need to go to the bathroom,' I said to the canteen lady and left as soon as I could.

I reached the hallway and looked around. Unfortunately, I didn't see Grover. I walked further, hoping to see him. When I didn't, I wanted to scream his name. Then I stopped dead. Screaming for your friend's help, only because you're afraid of a teacher? Are you serious, Ali?

I turned around to walk back to the party, but before I could get there, I felt a blow against my head. And I was sure it wasn't a friendly one from Grover.

So, that's it. Not as long as the last chapter. Don't forget to review by the way. If there are enough reviews, I'll go on with this story. Otherwise I'll start another, because I have more ideas which are better than this story.
