I was looking through a bunch of pictures and came across one that was strange. It was of my dad. Standing next to a completely random woman whom I had never seen in my life. Who was holding a younger me.
"Who the hell is this?" I whispered.
I taped the picture straight in the middle of my picture collage on my wall and started to think.
I thought for like fifteen minutes until I realized, This must be my mother. I faceplanted into my pillow. "Duh." I said, though it was muffled by the pillow.
I sat back up and got off my bed. I walked over to my desk and pulled out a notebook. I turned to a clean page and grabbed a copy that I made of the picture with the strange woman. I glued the picture to the page. I wrote 'Mother' under the picture. I drew a line to another side of the paper and wrote 'Goddess' beside that line. Oh, yeah. I already now about Camp Half-Blood. I've gone there every summer since I was six.
Anyways, I closed the notebook and put it back in my desk. I walked into my bathroom and got
I walked back into my room to see a shimmering image in front of me. I smiled. An Iris Message.
"You have an Iris Message from Annabeth Chase and Perseus Jackson at Camp Half-Blood. Give one darachma to answer." said a voice from the mist.
I grabbed a darachma from my bag and threw it into the mist. A girl with gray eyes and curly blonde hair and a boy with disheveled black hair and sea green eyes appeared.
"Hey, Ophie!!" said the boy, Percy, using the nickname he gave me.
"Hai!" I said cheerfully.
The girl, Annabeth, smiled brightly. "Hi! We're here in town soooo you want to do something?" she said.
"Uh, duh! That'd be awesome! Where are you guys?" I asked.
"Look out your window." Percy said.
I smiled and walked over to my window. I looked down and saw my friends smiling and waving at me. I smiled and waved back. "Be down in a sec!" I yelled at them. I walked backwards from my window a little bit. I began to run forward then once I reached the window, I jumped out. I smiled as I landed on my trampoline covered with pillows. I laughed and jumped off the trampoline.
"Nice to see you two!!" I said as I walked over to them.
"Where do you wanna go, Grace." Annabeth said, using my middle name.
"I don't know where do you wanna go, Anna?" I asked.
"Can we go to the mall? I wanna go to the mall." Percy said.
"Hmmmmmmmmm." I said, pretending to think about it, "Yeah, I guess."
"Yay!!!!!" Percy said.
I laughed and Annabeth ruffled his hair.

*MAGICAL TIME SKIP OF MAGICALNESS*

We got to the mall and goofed around for a bit then we actually went shopping. I found this really cute top but it was a size to small so I went up to the cash register.
"Excuse me, sir? Could I have this in a bigger size?" I asked, handing him the top.
"Yeah, whatever." He said in a bored voice. I was shocked. No one had ever been rude to me at a store.
"Um, I'm a paying customer so why are you treating me like this? You should be calling me Miss, Ma'am or Madam, am I correct?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I could hear Percy laughing in the background but I shrugged it off.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am." The cashier said in a sarcastic voice. He turned and walked into the storage. He came out with the top and he checked me out.
We walked out of the store quickly.
"Ugh, jerk." I said as we sat down at a table in the food court.
Annabeth nodded and Percy shrugged.
" So, you excited to go to Camp?" Annabeth asked.
I smiled. "Of course!!!"
Percy turned his head and his expression turned into a shocked one. He nudged Annabeth and she turned her head and smiled. i turned my head and saw that they were looking at a couple. A boy with blonde hair, and glasses and a girl with choppy brown hair. Percy smiled and said loudly, "Yo, Jase!!" The boy turned his head and saw Percy and smiled. They stood up and walked over to us.
"Hey Percy and Annabeth!" the girl said with a big smile. I noticed she had the eyes of an Aphrodite kid. Percy and Annabeth stood up.
"Hi, Piper!" Annabeth said hugging her.
"So, Jason, how's New Rome?" Percy said to the boy. I noticed that he had the same eyes as a hunter and daughter of Zeus, Thalia.
"It's great." the boy said. He turned his head and saw me. "New demigod?" he asked.
"Not necessarily new." Annabeth said.
I stood up. "I'm Ophelia Cuffe." I said.
The boy smiled and stuck his hand out for me to shake. "Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter." I smiled and shook his hand. Then turned to the girl. She stuck her hand out as well.
"Piper McLean, Daughter of Aphrodite." We shook hands. "Who's your godly parent?" she asked.
I shrugged, "Unclaimed."
She furrowed her brow. "But you aren't new."
Annabeth nodded. "She's been going to Camp every summer since she was six and still hasn't been claimed."
"Oh." Piper said.
"Anyways, we were just heading off to camp." Percy said.
"Us too." Jason said with a smile.
"Let's get going." Annabeth said.
"Okay." Piper said.
We walked out of the mall together. Once we got outside Percy called four pegasi and Jason called his lighting cloud horse.
I smiled and walked over to my usual pegasus, Honey.
I mounted her and we all started to ride to Camp Half-Blood.
