Half-Blood High

Chapter 2- The Short Journey

Percy

Everyone was taking there suitcases to the camp's van outside. Lou Ellen charmed it so it would hold all our luggage (Selena had the most, and poor Beck had to carry it all).

"Come on, its not even that heavy." She walked over to him in a few strides and picked up her suitcase with one hand, threw it over her shoulder like a shopping bag, and continued down towards the van like her suitcase was as light as a feather.

Beck stood there in awe at the sheer power of his girlfriend.

Eventually, he came back to his senses and started to walk behind her, still baffled yet proud.

I chuckled to myself and carried on with putting my luggage away.

After everyone had all their luggage into the van, we all piled in. It was a tight squeeze, but we managed to fit. However, the van was new so I had a lot more seats than our last one.

"Hey, Thalia, you want to drive?" Jason asked cheekily. "Shut it, Jas. One more word and I'll have Percy's fish friends eat your eyes out." was Thalia's teeth-gritted reply. We all laughed at Jason's terrified look. Thalia wasn't exactly too fond of heights.

It shouldn't have taken too long to get to Half-Blood High... or thats what Chiron told us all.  To me, the ride felt like an eternity. Leo and the Stolls were singing at the top of their lungs to rock music, they aren't exactly American Idol worthy. The idea of getting some fish to eat our their eyes was seeming more and more appealing as they kept singing.

When we finally got to school, instantly eveyone speeded out of the car to see the school and campus...except me and dear old Annie.

We were democratically picked in the most fair way possible to go and check us in.....rock paper sissors.

When we get to the receptionist, my hand instantly went to my pocket, and my hand closed around Riptide with my finger ready to push the cap off in a second.

"Relax, Perc. Remember, this is like camp, there are no monsters here." Annabeth calmly whispered to me as she took my hand out of my pocket. I intertwined our hands to keep me from doing it again. "Yeah, sorry, force of habit." I said quietly.

"Yes, how can I help you?" said the receptionist politely. Her large, round glasses were fixed to the screen in front of her as she typed away furiously. Her braided black hair seemed to flow over her left shoulder like a waterfall. After a moment, I glanced back at her hair, and I could've sworn that her hair was over her left shoulder, not her right as it was now. I tensed up and unintertwined my hand with Annabeth's.

"We would like to sign in, our friends are looking around campus." Annabeth said as my hand went back to my pocket. "Okay, well, just fill out this form and I'll show you to your rooms once your friend get back." She puts a huge stack of papers on the desk, along with two pens for the both of us and retreats to a back room.

It's when she gets up that I see the hilts of two daggers strapped to the inside of her boots. Okay then, not a monster, I say to myself. I relaxed a bit and released Riptide from my grip. Annabeth and I took the papers, sat down, and started to fill them out.

The receptionist came back at the exact time that Annabeth and I finished filling out the forms. "Okay so here are your dorm keys. Its five students per room and there are... 10 girls and... 10 guys, so thats two keys for the girls, and two for the guys. Girls dorms are up on level 3, and boys are on level 4. Have a nice day." She says sweetly.

Instantly, the guys and I grab our bags and cram into the elevator to see our rooms.

"Close close close!!!!" Yelled Nico as he hurriedly pressed the close button on the elevator.

All was quiet as we listened to the bad elevator music.

The second the "ding" sounded, it was chaos all over again. Half of us-Jason, Leo, Travis, Connor, and me (Frank didnt really want to be in the same room as Leo AND the Stolls, why did i say yes?), ran down the hallway trying to find our room.

At one point, this guy came out, looked at us, went back into his room and yelled "its just a couple new dudes".

I guess this was normal.

The second the door opened we all piled im and stood there for a few minutes just taking it all in.

The room was pretty big with a small kitchen, five beds, two bathrooms, and a dresser beside each bed. On each of the other sides of the beds, were desks with one drawer each.

Immediately afterwards, the Stolls and Leo went to the kitchen to stuff themselves with no doubt junk food.

Me and Jason simultaneously sighed and put our stuff on some random beds.

I pick the one with a window above it, so i could see the horizon in the distance and see the sunset/sunrise every morning and night.

Did i forget to mention that the campus was a beachfront property? Well it was, and during the breaks and weekends, the students and staff were allowed to go and hang out at the beach. I love this school already.

There was a door on the far east wall that opened and revealed Frank and Nico.

"Oh hey guys! I guess this is a connecting door!" Said Nico cheerfully. I guess he was feeling the nice mood to. "Yay, now the Stolls can keep us up at night to." Said Frank sarcastically.

"Woah, someone woke up on the wrong side of Hazel this morning. Haha." Leo butted in while stuffing his face with Hot Cheeto Puffs. Everyone chuckled at that comment.

"Look who's laughing Jackson. Would you like me to tell these guys about what i walked into the other day?" Frank mischievously retorted at me.

I could feel a blush creeping up on my face. I pretty sure I'm putting tomatoes to shame. "Shut up goldfish!" Was the best retort i could come with. Hey, I'm not a Seaweed Brain for nothing.

After a while, a long while, my blush calmed down from tomatoes to peaches, and i settled with playing Zombie Highway 2 on my phone (AN: love the game ><). Of course, until Annabeth texted. Then i didnt care what those idiots said, I just like talking to Annabeth.
