The Ultimate Deception (Grover Underwood)

School Girl Rock

I sit at Yancy academy a bout three tables from Percy and Grover. It's Grover's job to protect him and I offered to keep an eye on Percy. It may or may not have something to do with him being my nephew and Poseidon being my favorite brother.

I've been watching him for the last couple of months after I convinced my dad to let me go. I used an enchantment to make my hair shorter and some of it pink. I had to play the quiet kid. The one who observes and scares the shit out of people by simply just being there.

Wasn't hard since this was basically me at Camp.

I see Nancy Bobifit and her friends walk past Grover and Percy. Nancy knocks Grover with her bag. Percy gets up but Grover immediately stops him. His eyes wander to me making me unaware of his gaze.  I nod my head to the side making Nancy fall face first into another kids lunch tray causing the cafeteria to erupt in laughter.

I place a small smile on my face and try to hide it by taking a bite of my cupcake.

Grover
Athedia Dionysuson. The girl who stole my heart. She's even prettier outside of camp, the way the pink in her hair makes her eyes pop. The way her smile just lights up my day. "Dude seriously?" I take my eyes away from Addy and look at Percy confused. "What?" "Athedia Nyodisuson? She's a junior. We're 6th graders." Percy states. I look from him to her repeatedly racking my brain for a response to his bold statement.

"I- I'm just observing." I say sheepishly. "No. Youre obsessed." "I am not. She's just the prettiest girl in school." I state like it's a fact. "Says who?" Percy says calling me out. "Hurry up and eat so we can get on the bus." I say changing the subject.

Addy
I was assigned to supervise the Museum Field Trip as a Student Aid. Chiron came up with it and I got to miss class so that's a plus.

I walk around the museum while Chiron explains the assignment to the kids Grover included. I did have a quite a laugh when I heard he had to pose as a 6th grader. But he's doing a good job at helping Percy so far and I think he might have needed this after Thalia.

She was my best friend...

I shake my head away from the thought and walk over to a of my father. I look at the very unrealistic statue of my father. All the statues in this museum of the gods look the same. I've only met a handful of them thought. Like Athena- she's a stuck up bitch. Poseidon, my favorite brother. Ares, it's kind of awkward cause I dated his daughter. Zeus, no comment. Hermes, not really so sure about him yet. Hera, obviously. Oh and I met Hercules. Definitely a better guy than his dad. My favorite nephew.

But yeah my family's kind of fucked up. I made it a thing to stop dating people in the cabins cause if we break up I have to see them everyday and Clarisse is already a headache as is.

I wonder if I look like him. Cronus. If that's the only reason my brothers take interest in me. Sometimes it feels like I'm more of a duty than a sister. I mean do they send me shit? Yes. Have I used any of it. Gods no. Then I'd have to owe them and I'd rather not. I mean not like they can curse me, I'm part titan.

The only thing I have from him is this stupid hourglass necklace. I have no idea what it does or how it works. I've tried taking it off but...it's the only thing I have left of him. Despite everything.

Okay I really need to stop staring at this statue before someone thinks I have a thing for statues.

I turn around to walk to a different section when I stop in my step seeing Grover with his mouth open like he's was gonna say something. "Sorry, Grover." I say with a light laugh. He smiles sheepishly. "Oh no. I was just...I wanted to ask if you wanted to have lunch with me and Percy?" He asks for pointing to a waiting Percy tapping his pencil on his clipboard leaning on the doorway whistling to himself. "I would love too but I think it's best I keep my distance. We can't have two demigods walking around together especially me. That's a huge target on his back. Th bracelet can only do so much." "Oh. Right." He says sounding disappointed.
