Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

chapter 20

Sadie pov

The school was talking about the new kids today. I hadn't seen them yet. I was standing with Percy, Carter, Walt, Jaz , Jake and Eric near our lockers. They were talking about the new coach and maths teacher(plenty of new people, I know).

That's when I saw them. The girl was tall, with chocolate brown hair that hung one inch above her shoulder. She wore transparent rimmed specs, rectangular shaped. She was clad in an aviator jacket and jeans, so it looked like she was a bit of a tomboy.

The guy next to her wore a red shirt and faded jeans, his eyes staring at nothing, as if telling us they had no interest in anything.

They girl's eyes wandered around until she spotted us. She told something to the guy next to us and then tiptoed her way to us and that's when I realized she was looking straight.

OoooooooooooooO

Before Sadie could even blink, the girl was right behind Eric, and had covered his eyes with her long beautiful hands. "Guess who." She whispered in his ear. Eric sighed.

"Look, I'm not interested." He said, turning around to face the girl. He stumbled back when he saw her. Percy too noticed the girl and was staring at her with big eyes. Eric, on the other hand, was opening and closing his mouth like a goldfish.

"A...A...Anaamika!" He whispered/yelled. She smiled at him.

"Still not interested?" She said. Eric blinked. Then, as if propelled by a powerful machinery, he threw his arms around her.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were going back to India?" Eric asked.

"I was. But my uncle lives in Brooklyn and I asked my mom if I could stay here so that I could be close to camp and you. She agreed." May said.

"Oh Anaamika! I can't believe this." Eric wrapped his arms around her. She smiled.

"Isn't your name May?" Percy asked. Eric and Anaamika pulled away.

"Percy! Nice to see you again. Yes, I'm May." Anaamika/May said.

"But then-" Percy started.

"Anaamika is a nickname. In hindi." Eric explained.

"What does it mean?" Jaz asked.

"The girl without a name." May said.

"Okay, now I'm confused." Sadie said. May and Eric laughed.

"It's a long story." They said. Then Eric realized something.

"What do you mean, 'nice to see you again'? Have you met Percy before?" He asked May.

"It's a long story." May and Percy said together.

Lazy people, don't go to the trouble of telling stories.
