Anoop's POV
“Smooth Anoop, very smooth. Your first few hours here, and Dionysus already hates you,” Louis laughed at me. I watched as the wine god and our camp Director, Dionysus furiously swiped the pieces of apple pie off his face. He glared at me with so much disgust in his eyes, I had to look away. Zayn slapped the back of Louis' head and turned to me.
“Don't worry Anoop, he hates everyone at Camp Half-blood, except his children. Other than that, he hates pretty much every demigod who has ever walked through the camp borders. This is why we all like Chiron better. Mr. D just doesn't want to be here-”
“Oooo! I remember! Because Dionysus did something to anger Zeus. Then as punishment, Zeus sent him here. Didn't he take an interest for some nymph Zeus told him not to touch?”
“Yupp!” Zayn said, popping the 'p'.
“Hey! Get to your tables! People are staring at us!” Harry snapped. Before I could say anything, he grabbed Shalimar's arm and was pulling her to the Poseidon table. I had a feeling that was just to get Shalimar away from Zayn, who just a few moments ago, was standing quite close to his sister. While Harry was dragging her away, she turned around to give us a smile and a wave, before turning back around to follow her twin brother to their empty table. As they passed by, many of the kids were looking at them. Once they passes, little whispers started to break out between groups.
“I gotta go to the Aphrodite table, I'll see you Lou. Oh, and Anoop, you're gonna love the food here! Its out of this world! I'll meet you after dinner.” With that said, Zayn walked toward the table, full of pretty gossiping girls wearing way too much make-up and guys, who looked too cocky and vain for their own good. I saw him hesitate and cringe, before walking the rest of the way there and taking a sit beside one of the guys.
“Here Anoop, let me introduce you to my brothers and sisters!” Louis guided me to the biggest table, the Hermes table. I was a bit nervous, with all the things I read about the Hermes children, I knew to watch my pockets. When we were walking to the table, I heard a few people talking about me. “Unclaimed, people say her parents could be anyone. The Hermes cabin are taking bets. Who ever wins, is gonna be one rich demigod. My moneys on Ares.”
“No way, its totally Hades.”
“Are you stupid! She can't be from the Big 3 idiot! You're loosing all your money for sure, because its obviously Hermes, stupid.”
“Whatever, I say Athena.”
“Would it be stupid to think Apollo?”
“No duh, Sherlock. It's Hecate, I just know it.” They were betting on who my parent was? Okay that's kinda weird, but whatever. “Hello everyone! This is our newest unclaimed, Anoop! She just got here, so I would like you all to treat her well or I will hurt you and you'll be sleeping on the floor.” Everyone at the table fake gasped turned to look at me. They all had this glint in their eyes and that smirk in their smile that told you right away they were all trouble makers.
“Welcome welcome Anoop! I'm Cici! Wanna sit with me?” A girl with olive skin, light blond hair and bright brown eyes asked while she patted the seat beside her. “Sure!” I sat between her and Louis. The 2 guys across from us were twins. Their names were Jacob and Michael Dare, or the Dare brothers. They both had medium brown hair and brown eyes.
“So who's that other new girl that walked in with you at the Poseidon table?” Jacob raised his eyebrow in the direction of Harry and Shalimar with a smirk on his face.
“You mean Shalimar?” I asked, completely obvious. Why were they curious about Shalimar?
“So that's her name. Nice name to go with a nice looking girl,” Michael winked at his brother. Oh, so that's why. Wow, now that I think about it, that was kinda obvious. Zayn's not gonna be too happy about this. Hehe.
“Did we mention that she's also Harry twin sister? And he's more than willing to stab any boys who come too close to her?” Louis joked, not looking up from his pizza.
“I bet you Styles can't handle two attacks at the same time,” Jacob smirked and high fived his twin brother.
“He probably could, actually,” Cici laughed. “Not to be a downer, but I think Zayn Malik would join that fight.” I nodded my head in the direction of the Aphrodite boy. It looked like Michael was going to say something, but he shut up with wide eyes, staring at a spot behind me. In that instant, everyone in the loud dinner hall became silent, as they stared at one spot. Even Louis was speechless. Louis! Of all people, Louis! This was some serious shize. So I turned around to see what everyone was looking at. A gasp spread through out the crowd. Standing at the door of the dinner hall with Chiron, was none other than Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase! They were exactly as Rick described them! They only thing different was they looked about 26. Percy had messy black hair and sea green eyes, and he just had a powerful vibe radiating from him. Annabeth was beautiful, with her piercing grey eyes, curly blond hair and fit physique. They were having a laugh with Chiron about something. I noticed in Percy's arm, was a small girl, maybe 3 years old with long blond hair curled into ringlets and bright green eyes. OMG THAT MUST BE THEIR DAUGHTER! A wave of whispers erupted everywhere as people were gasping,
“oh my gods, that's Percy Jackson.”
“Holy Hades, its Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase.”
“Wow, that's Percy Jackson! He's about the greatest demigod who ever lived!”
“He's a Camp Half-blood legend! Wait, screw that, he's a demigod legend!”
“Would it be too much to ask for his autograph?”
“He's hotter in person.”
At that last comment, I turned to see some of the Aphrodite girls giggling. Oh my gods, oh my gods, oh my gods! Percy freaking Jackson! I'm standing in the same room as Percy Jackson! Oh my gods, he's totally real! My favourite book character is real and he's standing right in front of me! This is not happening! I couldn't control myself, as I hopped out of my seat and headed for Percy and Annabeth. OH MY GODS, I'M GONNA MEET PERCABETH! Louis tried grabbing me, but I shoved him off. I was now only a few feet away from them. I can't believe there right in front of me! Okay Anoop you need to play it cool.
“Gosh, you're Percy and Annabeth! I love you guys! I can't believe you're real and have a beautiful daughter! Gosh, I think I might have a heart attack! Wait, can I have your autograph please?” Percy and Annabeth smiled down at me, while the whole room was dead quiet. I wonder why? I mean, the famous PERCY JACKSON AND ANNABETH CHASE are in the room!
“Sure and who might you be?” Percy asked as I handed him a paper and pen which I stole from the Dare brothers. “Anoop, and holy flipper sticks, I have read all your guys books. I still can't believe I'm actually talking to you two!” I started to jump up and down as they both gave me a hug. Percy chuckled at my reaction.
“So Anoop, you new here right? Who is your godly parent?” Annabeth asked as she adjusted her daughter on her hip.
“Yes I am new, in fact I just arrived today with my sister Shalimar who's godly parent is Poseidon. I am not claimed yet but it would be cool to know who my parents are. Gosh, I feeling like I am rambling on about stupid things. Gods, it would be cool to see you guys fight!" I rambled on about the adventures they had and how Rick describe it well. As I was talking, I notice that Percy and Annabeth were actually interested in what I was saying. I rambled on some more until Chiron loudly cleared his throat.
“Anoop, I think you should go and sit at your table and not-”
“but Chiron-” I opened my mouth to protest, but no words came out. The three of them chuckled and I went back to the Hermes table to see Louis giving some Hecate kid a bag of golden drachma coins.
“Don't worry Anoop, John here put a spell on you so you could keep your mouth shut. You can start talking again after about 5 minutes.” Louis gave a thumbs up to the redhead boy, as I gave them both a glare and ate my won ton soup. Zayn was right, the food here was amazing! I scanned the room and found Liam eating spaghetti with his girlfriend. Awehh, I felt like I was watching 'Lady and the Tramp' because Liam and his girlfriend both had the same noodle and kissed. I looked over at Harry's table to see Percy sitting there and chatting. I waited 4 more minutes, until I could talk.
“Um, Louis I forgot to tell Shalimar something, I guess I have to go to her table!” I quickly got up before Louis could say anything and headed to the Poseidon table.
“Hey Shalimar! Fancy seeing you here, I forgot to give you your pen back.” I handed her a random red pen I found on the ground and sat beside her. Harry gave me a funny look, that 'what the hell are you doing here?' look as I started a random conversation with Percy about if he ever pooped blue after eating blue velvet cupcakes because I have for like two straight days.
“Uhhh, no I haven't.”
“Well, let me tell you-” I was cut off by Shalimar's hand abruptly covering my mouth.
“Anoop! Percy doesn't want to know about your awkward blue problems. I'm never letting you eat Blue Velvet cupcakes every again. Percy, I see you've met my crazy sister and best friend Anoop, who is leaving now.” Wait! I needed to talk to Percy! I needed to tell him more! I licked Shalimar's hand and she screamed, taking her hand from my mouth. I went to start talking to Percy again, but I came out blank. No words came out of my mouth and I had a strange urge to return to the Hermes table. I stood up and the children of Poseidon looked extremely confused, as I turned my back to them and sat back down at the Hermes table.
“C'mon Tomlinson, keep that money coming. Favours don't come cheap.” John, the son of Hecate prompted Louis. Defeated, Louis unwillingly passed another hand full of drachma's to John and scowled.
“Anoop, now you can't talk for 10 minutes. And now I'm broke. You better pray to the gods that you're a child of Ares so I get my money back.”
