War of Fate (Book 2 Completed)

Chapter 12 - 'What's up with them?'

"I hate you both right now!" I exclaim. My dad chuckles before responding.

"He thought it was hilarious and said that you are his favorite niece now, Zeus was hurt that you went for Poseidon." I shake my head. Only my family!

"OK, say hi to them from me." I tell him. He sighs like it's the hardest thing in the entire universe.

"Fine!"

"Thanks." I say ignoring his antics.

"OK, well I should get back; we were in a competition to see how many donuts we could stack high. Zeus was winning, but I think he's cheating by creating wind to hold it up." I roll my eyes; I'm not surprised at all at that. Of course they would be doing that!

"OK, buh-bye." I tell him before hanging up. I throw my phone back into the bag, before taking out the book. I open it and begin to read.

*^*^*

I have been reading a while when a shadow falls across my book. I look up at the source and see a person. The sun behind them causes them to be a silhouette. Judging by the shape of them they are male. I shield my eyes, and slowly their features become clearer. A guy who looks to a couple of years younger than me is looking down at me. I close my book, putting it down onto my lap. The boy has russet hair that is cut short and green eyes. His skin is pale, with freckles scattered over his cheeks. I look him up and down before raising an eyebrow.

"Can I help you?" I ask him. He shoots a nervous look to the right. I follow his gaze and see a group of boys the same age as him, laughing. I look back to him.

"W-will you go out on a date with me?" He asks.

"Yeah, sure." I reply, picking my book back up.

"Really?" He asks shocked.

"No." I reply bluntly. I turn the page and start to read again. He doesn't move away so I look back up at him.

"If that's all then you can go. Or do I have to make you?" I ask him. He quickly rushes back to his friends. I hear his friends laugh at him, when he gets back to them. I shake my head at them and go back to my book. A minute later a shadow falls over the pages of my book, again. I sigh.

"I just told you, I'm not interested."

"Did you?" I hear Reid ask. I whip my head up to look at him.

"Hi." He says grinning.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your gang?" I ask.

"I wanted to come to the beach, is that not allowed?"

"So you finished with Hunter, Leo, Liam and Jake?" I ask.

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't call them back?" I ask confused.

"No." Reid replies. Why would they lie to me? Were they called back by someone, who wasn't Reid? Did Kyle get to them, or was Reid lying? I reach for my bag, taking out my phone, and text Hunter.

Text me, as soon as you get this. I look back up to Reid.

"What are you doing, bothering me? Don't you have something else you could be doing, like Tiffany?" I ask him irritably.

"She's getting needy and annoying." He says sitting down next to me.

"I wondered how long it would be until you realised that." I comment. "Why not just break up with her? That's if you're going out with her." I look up at him waiting for his reply. He looks confused for a minute, and before I can ask him why, my phone chimes with a text message. I look down and see Hunter has replied.
