Smack!
Pain shot up in my head as I slammed my forehead against Alex's. She sat on her butt, glaring at me and rubbing the place where I hit her.
"Seriously, Beantown?"
"Gods, I'm so sorry! Should I-?" I gestured at her forehead which was now red, trying to ask if I should heal it.
"Yeah, no. It's just a small bruise."
I shrugged.
Suddenly, something blonde and tanned slammed into me. It hugged me tightly before I realize,
"Annabeth? What the Hel, why are you here?" I asked her, grinning.
She smiled at me, her cheeks red from happiness,
"Honestly? We didn't even know if you'd be here, we just opened this door and, here you were."
"Door?"
I realized it was in front of my bed, right across me and Alex. Atleast, they hadn't opened the door a few more hours earlier. It would've been awkward considering what we were doing.
I looked at the doorway and there were about... Eight more people.
That's a crowd.
I don't like crowds.
Alex used my shoulder to hoist herself up, her green hair with brown roots tickled my cheek as she stood.
She glanced down at me with her gold and brown eyes,
"Well, I can only recognise two of you guys, I assume it's the same for Magnus. I think this calls for some introductions!"
She helped me up and we began the information sharing that I so, very, much disliked.
"Uh, well, I'll go first?" A guy with a buzzcut and a square jaw raised his hand like he was in a classroom.
He was buff, handsome and tall. He wore some baggy sweatpants and a hoodie.
"I'm Frank Zhang, my dad's Mars."
"Woah, your dad is a planet and he's red?" Alex replied.
The big guy blushed and looked at his feet. I smacked Alex's arm and said,
"He means the Rome guy."
"Ohhh, that makes more sense than a rock in space banging a huma-,"
"Ahem!" A girl with pretty golden eyes and dark skin and brown, curly hair stepped forward, her hand out for a handshake.
"I'm Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto."
I hesitated and Alex took the shake within that small time-frame,
"Right, I assume that's the god."
Hazel nodded.
A elfish guy raised his hand and introduced himself as Leo Valdez. Two fierce looking girls said they were Thalia and the other was Reyna Ramírez-Arellano.
"That's a long name," Alex commented.
"I made it shorter," Reyna replied, stiffly.
The others introduced themselves and all I could think was, gods, that is a lot of names.
Finally, I realized something,
"Uh, Alex. We didn't even say our names," I poked Alex's arm to get her attention. She seemed to be planning some pranks with Leo. I'm not sure if I should be glad she's socialising or scared she found her match.
"Oh, yeah. Right, I'm Alex Fierro, the best potter in the Nine Realms. My mom, yes, mom, is Loki," Alex said quickly, trying to get back to her plans to switch my shampoo to hair-dye.
I smiled at them sheepishly and said,
"Uh, I'm Magnus Chase. My dad's Frey, I'm Annabeth's cousin."
One of the guys stared at me for a minute and said,
"You look like Will."
"I-Who?"
"My boyfriend, he heals people and he's blonde."
"Cool."
It got awkward until Percy glanced at his watch and said,
"Thirty minutes till we gotta go to Defense Against Artists."
"It's Dark Arts, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth snapped back, smiling.
"Anyways, he's right we should go now."
We said our goodbyes, though, Alex seemed reluctant to stop her evil schemes.
The door closed and began to glow before evaporating.
"Huh, that's cool," I said.
"Yup, too bad I couldn't continue my plans though. Leo seems cool," Alex said.
I pouted and said,
"Hey, I'm getting jealous over here."
She smirked and wrapped her arms around my neck, "My, my, are you now?"
I laughed and kissed her forehead.
I was about to do the same to her lips, but the door to my room slammed open.
Malory walked in and said,
"TJ told me you're in here Alex, wanna go to Bli-?" She stopped in her tracks and began to blush.
"Well, damn, Alex," She said with an awkward smile.
Alex pushed me away and began to hunch over with laughter.
"Too bad, Magnus. Next time?" She winked at me.
I blushed red and nodded.
She walked out of the door and Mallory stayed back to say, "You've got game, Magnus."
I blushed even harder and pushed her out, closing the door as I did so. I heard both of their giggles get further and further away.
I walked to my bed and laid down. The only thoughts I had while laying in the bed, waiting for our call to battle, were:
Alex.
Alex.
Alex.
Gods.
Alex Fierro.
