(*THALIA NORMAN*)

“Hey, are you the new girl?”

I turn around startled for a second about the voice coming from behind me. A brunette girl with straight hair stares at me through her green eyes with a look I can’t quite decipher.

“Um….yea”

“Don’t worry Iam not here to eat you up, anyway my names Helen.” She says as she offers her hand to me, I shake it and reply smiling

“Hi iam Thalia”

“Um Thalia? As in Thalia Zeus or what?”

“Thalia Norman. Definitely not Zeus”

 I say remembering Percy Jackson. See this is what happens when you have a name of a character from a bestselling novel. You cannot believe how many times I’ve been asked whether I was a half blood. I mean seriously I like half-bloods and all but some people take this fantasy to a whole new level, I mean hello? Half-bloods don’t exist.

A hand is waved in front of my face breaking me from my trance.

Gosh I have to stop doing that!

“Um hello? Earth to! I need to go back to my dorm.” she says with a cross expression

‘uh, sorry um so what were you saying?”

“I said I need to get back to my dorm and show you yours, Mrs.White asked me to show you around the school”

“Oh ok. I am sorry, could you just wait while I pack my bag?” I say giving her a closed mouth smile.

“Yea, sure”

I turn around and stuff my pens and stationery and the books lying messily on the table into my bag, zip it and wait for, wait what was her name again?

“Um, sorry but I forgot your name?”

“Oh it’s Helen! Your names quite easy considering it’s the name of a character from my favourite novel” she says grinning like an idiot.

“Yea Percy Jackson is my favourite too”

“I know right? I wish I was annabeth!” she says with a dreamy face and continues “but just hurry up ok? I had to meet my friends in my dorm but since Stella asked me to show you around I am here, can we hurry up please if you don’t mind.”

“Yea sure, I am done.”

Helen turns around and starts leading the way towards the dorm. After passing through two corridors we come to the corridor which has the principal’s office, I kind of remember this place because I was here just this morning with my mom. Since I was just too nervous I didn’t have a good look around, heck I didn’t have a good look around anything since I’ve come here.the only place I had a good look around was the cafeteria!

During recess Stella had sent me another girl to show me the cafeteria, turned out it was an whole other building, and man that was a cafeteria. There were sections for snacks, appetizers, the main course and DESSERTS. But the sad part was I didn’t know anyone here, everyone seemed to have their own groups, and so I had to eat all alone. I was hoping I could make friends by the end of the day.

After walking another mile(or so it seemed), we finally reached the dorm, it was just like a normal building nothing out of the ordinary.as we entered I see a women sitting behind a desk, eyes glued to the computer.

“Hey Ms.Roger, the new girls here, we need her dorm keys you think you could give it to us?”

Ms.Roger looks up from her computer, smiling hands Helen a bunch of keys. Turning towards me she says “I’ve just got your particulars, the room number is on the key and if you need anything my room at the end of the corridor on floor 1”

I nod my head and smile at her and turn towards Helen gesturing her to lead the way.

After reaching my dorm Helen hands me the keys and says “you can call me if you need anything that Roger female is a lazy bum, and yea dinners in four hours I’ll come pick you up ok? We can sit together and I’ll introduce you to my friends”

 I smile at her, I swear I wanted to hug her right there but that would be very weird and thus I dropped it. And I am not much of a hugger.

“thanks! I was alone for lunch, it would be nice to sit with you! Your friends woudnt mind would they?” I ask a bit scared to know her answer.

What if they don’t like me? What if no one likes me?

“Chill, I already told them that I you are going to join us for dinner”

“Well I’ll be ready, thanks again” I say smiling or more of grinning.

“Bye”

“Bye” I say waving to her

Turning the key to my dorm room I push the door open and get inside there are two beds and two wardrobes. And my luggage is already kept near the wardrobe. The room has a homely feeling to it, maybe because of the dim lighted bulbs and the wooden furniture. Whatever it was I liked it here.

I lock the door behind me and jump into the bed, if anyone happened to see me now they probably think I just came out of an mental asylum. I dig into my bag and pull out my phone and call, the call is answered after two rings.

“mmmwwwaahhh! Hey monkeybear, when did you reach? Why are you calling so late? I was dead sick thinking about what happened to you! Could you ever be considerate about other people always the selfish old Thalia?”

“oh mi gosh Drew, could you just like calm dow? just calm down! School just ended and I am back in my dorm now. And I decided to call you”

“So? How was school? Were all the girls bitchy?”

“School was pretty good! Well I can’t say for sure whether the girls are bitchy or not, let’s see!”

“foof! so? What did you eat? You were always telling me about the amazing food you are going to eat after you join that school, so? What did they give you?”

“Oh mi gosh you cannot believe drew, the food was amazing, I had pasta, a burrito well yea that’s it! Couldn’t eat anymore!” I say.

“Couldn’t eat anymore or didn’t want to eat anymore? Whom were you sitting with for lunch?”

“Oh cum on we have been talking about me all this time, let’s talk about you, how is Jake?”

“Fu*k Jake Thalia, tell me, whom.were.you.sitting.with.for.luch?” Drew says emphasizing each word.

“Okay okay! I was all alone, but you don’t have to worry this girl called Helen is going to be with me for dinner. Are you happy now. Okay bye I got to go now lots of homework to complete. Adios”

I hang up as soon as possible and start thinking of Drew’s words. He is Jake’s(my cousin) best friend and my mom’s best friends son. I had a crush on him, I still do. lot of guys had asked me out but I denied them all. Drew was always protective, maybe he thought of me as just a friend? Or was it that he liked me and was scared to confess? Maybe he thought of me as his friend. I am not much on the pretty side, but I still liked him. Drew I mean.
