Well, sorry guys it's been over a year. I know there is really no excuse as to why I haven't updated but I did have major surgery so that put me out for a while! Thanks to everyone who sent me characters! Congrats to whoever made it!
Rachel was in the library studying her math. She had a test coming up and could not get anything lower than an 87% or her grade would drop to a C. And if her grade dropped t letter would be sent home to her parents and she really didn't need that at the moment.
"Rachel! You have got to see this!" Rachel looked up to see her friend Krystal Rivera charging through the library a very determined look on her face. Rachel was surprised to see the usually quiet, reserved and self-proclaimed book nerd Krystal yelling in a Library. What could be so important that she would shout?
"Rachel! Rachel! There are boys on campus! Good looking boys that are totally ignoring Ivy and only talking to Dakota!" Krystal grinned. Rachel should have known it was about Ivy. Krystal absolutely hated Ivy and Rachel found it to be amusing. Sure Ivy wasn't nice to Rachel but she wasn't mean either. Well, actually she was very mean but Rachel didn't care. Krystal however seemed to think that Ivy was going to kill Rachel in her sleep one day.
But then Rachel's brain registered the other part of Krystal statement. Boys on campus don't happen every day you know. And any boy that ignores Ivy "I'm so hot" Preston must be something special. Rachel sighed and let herself be dragged to the courtyard by Krystal.
When they got there Rachel wished she brought a camera because it was definitely a sight. Ivy was literally pressed up against this boy and was making the most hilarious faces that were probably supposed to be attractive. Rachel's other good friend Dakota stood to the other side of the boy looking utterly disgusted. And behind them stood four other people with looks of mixed amusement and disgust.
Rachel groaned and pushed to the front of the crowd because she definitely knew all four of the strangers. Fighting through a crowd of girls desperate for boys was hard, but the battle of Olympus was harder so in about 30 seconds, Rachel stood in front of Percy Jackson, Will Solace, Leo Valdez, Jay Deslan and a very uncomfortable looking Aaron Lockhart and Dakota Gideon. All of whom were demigods.
Before addressing the demi-gods in front of her she turned to Dakota. Dakota, a daughter of Hephaestus that Rachel had stumbled upon, was Rachel's other best friend. Dakota shrugged as if to say "I don't know either."
"Dakota. Why the hell are they here?" Rachel hissed through a clenched jaw. Usually Rachel would be ecstatic to see most of her demi-god friends but the boy ones during her school time wasn't a very smart decision. If Annabeth, Piper, and Katie had been here that would be different.
"Nice to see you too Dare. If I had known any better I would have even said you missed us." That obviously sarcastic comment came from the one and only Percy Jackson. Rachel could have sworn she heard a few swoons from the girls around her. She scoffed Percy was not that attractive? Besides if only they knew that his girlfriend could kick their ass any day.
"Don't be an idiot Percy. Of course I'm glad to see you all. Just a bit surprised. Why are you here though?"
"Did the almighty oracle really not see us coming? No way is that awesome! I'm so telling dad!" That comment came from Will Solace, the head of the Apollo cabin.
"Will. Shut up!" Rachel was fuming did that idiot really just call her the oracle in front of all of these mortals? Will just looked at her confused until Leo whispered something in his ear. He had the decency to look sheepish after that.
"Rachel don't get your paints all mixed up! Aaron here was just bringing Dakota her English notes that she left at camp over the holiday!" Rachel calmed down after Jay finally explained why they were there. Jay Deslan was a child of Demeter and not exactly the earth loving type. He often had the craziest ideas for pranks and his partner in crime was Dakota. He was also in a band called Picklesnack which he and some Apollo kids formed. They performed at camp often and were actually not bad.
"Rachel! Dakota! Darlings! You know these boys?" Ivy, in a very fake voice, seemed to purr. Rachel and Dakota grimaced. Yes of course Ivy would be pretending to be nice to them.
"Yes, Ivy we do know them and they're actually leaving right now." Rachel shot the boys a look that said 'get out or else'. The boys understood and mumbled their goodbyes to her and Dakota and shuffled into the van obediently. Rachel smugly watched as Ivy's face fell as the boys didn't acknowledge her.
As soon as the van had rolled away the crowd dispersed leaving Rachel, Dakota, a very confused Krystal, and a seething Ivy standing alone.
"Excuse you Dare, but who the hell do you think you are? No one embarrasses me like that. Especially in front of those hot boys" Ivy stood in front of the girls blocking their path.
"Umm yuck! That boy you were trying to seduce is my brother!" yelled a very grossed out Dakota.
"I was only trying to save them from your disgusting personality" and with that Rachel and her friends passed Ivy and started towards their dorm.
Well not how I expected that to turn out but oh well. And I promise not to take a year to write the next chapter.
