I'm Special

Buns on Fire

Chapter 7(Alex's POV) 

I woke up shrieking. I just got bounced of my bed!!! I look towards the direction of my bed and see the Stoll brothers bouncing on my bed, snickering.

"What the hell?!! Are you fucking insane?!! You can't just come in and start bouncing ng on the damn bed!!" Even at my outburst they still snicker, but they stop bouncing on the bed.

"You're late for breakfast." Travis says calmly, as if he didn't just wake me up by bouncing on my bed. I finally get the message and go into the bathroom to get ready.

There was no one else in the cabin, so I figured I must be very late. After taking a shower, I realized how stupid I was.

I didn't have any clothes!!

"Connor?! Travis?! I don't have any clothes to wear!!" After waiting for a few minutes, I'm starting to think that they ditched me. I sigh and walk towards the clothes I wore before, cringing at the sight. There were tears, and sticks and mud on it.

As I was about to pick up the blue button up shirt, a hand carrying clothes stuck out through the door. I breathe out a sigh of relief. As I get closer to the door, I hear panting.

"Where did you get these from?" I ask from behind the door, as I start to wear the clothes he gave me.
"Lucy gave me, she looked like your size, so she gave you those clothes, but the underwear is new."
"Thank you so..."
"What?"
"It's too tight, the shirt's too tight!!"
I struggle to make the shirt more comfortable. How could my bust increase over the night. That's impossible!!

I try to flatten out the shirt that Connor or Travis gave me, and suddenly it starts to glow. I look at it wide eyes unable to comprehend anything. As it stops glowing, I realise I feel freer, or rather the shirt was bigger. A bit too big though, falling off my shoulder, showing my sports bra strap, but that's not the point. The point is that it magically got bigger!!

What the hell?!!

I come out of the bathroom, a bit shaken up. This Stoll brothers look at me and both their jaw drops.

"What?" I look at them confused as they keep on staring at me. I'm only wearing a shirt, jeans and sandals.
They both shake their heads as if coming out from a trance.

"Follow us." Connor says. We go towards an open area with tables and benches. We go towards the crowded table.
I frown, "What about the other tables? They're not as crowded."
Travis turns to me, "We sit according to our cabin or godly parents. Since you don't know your godly parent, you have to stay in the Hermes cabin until you know your godly parent."
Connor also turns to me, "Yeah that."

I frown and try to squeeze in the best I can on the bench. Just as I sit down, a plate of bacon and eggs land in front of me. With no hand connected to it. I sigh and continue with breakfast.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as I finished breakfast, I decided to hang out with the Stoll brothers since I couldn't find Nico and I don't have any other friends. Connor and Travis did the honors of showing me around camp. So far, I've seen a pond for canoeing, the music section in the Amphitheatre and the kitchen filled with harpies, chicken ladies, which apparently cook our food and feed on naughty children who are outside after curfew. According to Travis, we haven't even covered half of the camp grounds.

"Are we almost done yet? My feet hurts." I say as I look at my miserable toes. "Stop whining, we still have a long way to go." Travis retorts. Connor instead says, "Wanna hop on my back?"

I was about to answer him when somethin else grabbed my attention. "What's that?" 

"That's the climbing wall." Travis says nonchalantly like it's no big deal. This climbing wall is no ordinary climbing wall. This climbing wall had lava and occasionally collide into each other after about a minute or two.

          I  have to go up there,  my subconscious says.

        We might possibly die, I retort.

       What's life without risks, my subconscious suggests.

"Alex? Are you alright?"

"Last one to get up there is a rotten tomato!!" I yell running towards the structure. I climb onto it looking behind to see the Stoll brothers behind me. I quickly climb up, giggling as Connor screams explaining how he regrets following Travis and I. As I climb, about a cup full of lava pours onto my arm. I hiss, but I don't let go of the support. Once I reach the top, I take the rope down and wait for them on the grass. As I wait for them, I inspect my arm.  I frown as I keep inspecting my arm.    

                I'm pretty sure lava fell right over here,  I say in head, glaring at my upper arm. 

The proof was on my shirt! The proof was practically burnt!! I continue trying to find a reasonable explanation when Connor and Travis run towards me. 

"Are you hurt? I saw the lava." Travis says grabbing my arm. He twists my arm trying to find the burn. When he doesn't find anything, he frowns and locks eyes with an equally confused Connor who gives a shrug.

"Uhh...Where are the burns?" I shrug, frowning at my arm. "Don't worry it's probably one of your powers from your godly parent. The problem is just which one." I just nod, finding no reason to talk, until I found my reason."

"Uhh...Connor?"

"Hmm?"

"Your buns are on fire."

"Shit!!!"

FYI harpies are rapacious monsters described as having a woman's head and body and a bird's wings and claws.
