Perci's POV
I opened my eyes slowly the next morning, adjusting to the light. I looked down to see Piper and Annabeth sleeping on sleeping begs in my cabin. What-? Just then, the events of last night sleepover came to my mind. I rubbed the grogginess out of my eyes and got up, careful not to wake them. I went to my bag of girl clothes and, while I was looking for something to wear today, I noticed some color on my hands. No way. They. Did. Not.
"Why are my nails painted bright red??!!" I yelled angry at their ears.
The girls jolted upright surprised.
"What was that for?" Piper asked sleepy.
"MY NAILS ARE RED!" And so is my face right now.
They chuckled.
"Surprise?"
I glared at them. Now I have to put up with that colored hand the whole day. Or until I find some nail polish remover, which I doubt they're gonna lend me.
And to make matters worse, this color does not match my orange camp t-shirt! Woah, stop right there. Since when do I care if the colors match? Ahhh. I sighed exasperated.
"Consider me surprised." I retorted.
I turned my back to them, got my new clothes, that were finally my own, and went to the bathroom to change. I brushed my teeth and looked at the mirror. My hair was everywhere. Literally. I ran a hand to it, but it didn't change the wild look. I never had any patience to really comb my hair, so it didn't bother me. I liked it this way. And if the girl I was looking at wasn't myself, I would say she was pretty. I smiled at my reflection and went out of the bathroom.
The girls had gathered their stuff and gotten dressed. Annabeth grinned at me.
"I hope you had fun yesterday. And now we know that you've got a knack for singing, huh? We're gonna get our things to our cabins and go to the pavilion. See ya later, Seaweed Brain"
They got out and I heard my stomach growl. Wow, I hadn't realized how hungry I was. So I got out as well and went to the pavilion to eat. I wished for blue pancakes and they were simply delicious.
While I was eating, however, there was something really bothering me. We still have no clue how to change me back into a boy. It's been kind of funny and all, but I'm urging to be myself again.
As soon as I finished breakfast, I went to talk to Chiron.
"Hey Chiron" I called.
"Good morning Perci. What can I do for you, girl?"
"That's exactly what I want to talk to you about."
"What?"
"The girl thing. Have you figured something out yet? What can I do to reverse this?" I asked him eagerly.
"I've sent some satyrs to Circe's island, but they came back empty-handed. She vanished, simply disappeared. The spa is deserted. But I doubt she would help us anyway. We'll have to think of other options." He said calmly.
"I could go to Olympus. Maybe Hecate can help. I'll talk to her." I suggested. It was the best idea I could come up with.
"This could actually work, Perci. Great idea."
Yay, I knew it was good.
"So can I go there today? The sooner I get back to normal, the better"
"Well, I think there wouldn't be any problem if you did."
"Can Piper, Annabeth, Leo and Jason go too?"
He frowned and I was afraid he wouldn't let all of us go. Maybe I pushed too hard. But to my surprise, he said:
"Considering the circumstances, I can let you all go. You know how to defend yourselves from monsters. Take the day off training. Argos can take you guys to Manhattan. I trust you not to do anything stupid." He shot me a warning look.
"Aye, my cap'n!" I nodded and left to talk to the guys.
After half an hour, we gathered at Thalia's tree beside the camp van. Everyone was there except for Leo. I was starting to get impatient.
"And they say girls take a lot of time to get ready." I muttered when he finally got there and we entered the van.
"I'm sorry, it takes time to get this hot! No, just kidding. I'm naturally hot." He replied with a grin.
By the time Argos left us in 34th Street, I was sick of the trip. For goodness sake I was finally off that van. Being trapped in a van full of ADHD kids and a Leo (Leo got to a whole new level of ADHD) is a real challenge.
When we got out, we decided not to go straight to the Empire State.
"C'mon! We're finally in the city and we're doing just business? Let's do something fun" Leo said.
I frowned.
"Chiron told us not to do anything stupid."
"And we won't" Jason supplied. "Let's just eat something. We can go to that ice cream shop right over there" He pointed to a shop a few feet away.
I thought a bit about this. We're just gonna eat. Nothing can go wrong.
"I guess we can, right?"
"Yes!" Leo and Jason cheered.
"It would be cool" the girls said.
So there we went. It was a shop called 'Joey's Ice Cream' ( A/N totally made that up) .
They all went to the line and I stayed at the table to save it. We got a table at the back, near the wall. I asked them to bring me a blueberry ice cream, or anything that was blue.
I started thinking about what I was going to say to Hecate, so that she could help me, until I heard a someone talking to me.
"Thinking really hard, babe?"
I looked up to see a tall, well built guy, wearing a coat that said 'Goode High Football Team'. I recognized him from school, he was one of the popular guys, but I never learned his name.
"Uhm?"
"What is a pretty girl like you seating here at the back all alone?"
What does this guy want with me?
"I'm not alone." I said. "I'm with my friends."
He looked around like he was looking for someone.
"Interesting, I don't see them here. But don't worry, I'll seat here with you, babe"
I'm not an expert and I've never been a girl before, but I'm almost sure this guy is hitting on me. What the Hades? There's a guy hitting on me!
"Don't call me babe." There was extreme annoyance in my voice.
"Alright then. I'm Jonah. You are?" He said, sitting in the chair next to me.
I changed to the other chair, near the wall, so that I wouldn't stay so close to him.
"Perci."
"A cute name for a cute girl." He jumped to the chair I was sitting before, getting closer. "Do you have any plans for tonight, Perci? You could come to my place." He had a flirty look on his face.
"Sorry, not interested." I turned to look at the line. How much time does it take to get ice cream?
"I know you want to." He said and leaned closer, putting his arm at my side and cornering me on the wall.
"No, I don't." I need to get out of here!
"C'mon, let me give ya a sneak peek."
What the Hades does he mean?
Interrupting all my thoughts, he leaned even closer and I felt his lips into mine. I wish I hadn't figured out what he meant. I froze. There was a guy kissing me! I wanted to say something, run away from there, do anything! But there was no way out. While he was kissing me, he pushed me to the wall. I was trapped in a kiss.
It seemed to last forever, and when he finally leaned back, he was smiling and I had a horrified look on my face.
"What the heck, man?!" I yelled at him and got up, in time to see my friends looking at us with shocked expressions, holding the ice creams. They must have seen the whole thing.
"Get out of my way!" I pushed Jonah aside and went to the guys.
I got my ice cream from Piper's hand.
"Let's get out of here." I said and motioned for the door.
I was definitely not in the mood for ice cream anymore.A/N
Oh my God, 1k reads! Thank you guys so much! I hope you guys are enjoying the story. Keep being awesome :)
