Zac

Day 2 of Doomsday (12:00 pm)

I want to call Olympus hotline. I need confirmation on why I wasn't claim yet. The problem is, I don't know the number of Olympus and I couldn't even find a cell service. But the truth was, I'm scared. What if I will never be claimed? Or worse What if my dad doesn't want to own me? My mom didn't want to speak to me since I was ten and maybe my dad too.

I don't know what's the deal with Steph anyway. Her day was complete. She was claimed and now she discovered that she possesses a power. If I were Steph, I would be jumping around yelling I've got the power! 

Until people get annoyed of me.

I need to shake things up a bit here. Being emotionally wreck is not Steph style and seeing a silent Paige is really getting annoying.

Before we went into the pavilion, I grabbed both of them. Steph look at me sadly and Paige kept sighing. "What is the deal with you too?" I blurt.

"Isn't it obvious, I'm freaking out!" Steph emotions explode. "I don't know what to do with this stupid essay and ten minutes ago I almost killed someone!"

"Steph put your crap together alright? You are not like this. And forgive me if I'm annoying you and all but both of you were just claimed while me? I don't even know if I have father." Both of them looked at me. "I'm sorry." says Paige.

"Why are you so quiet lately?" I ask. "I'm fine. I'm just still shocked on what's happening." Paige mumble. Steph wiped her tears through her sweater. "You know what? I'm just going to ignore what happened. So what if I almost killed someone? This people killed plenty of people." Steph breathe in and out.

"Steph's right! So what if Grace keeps pushing me down and calling me weak? I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, I am strong in special ways." Paige added.

"Okay, both of you don't do that again. Your frowning faces will give me nightmares."

"Hi sorry to disturbed this but-"a girl approach us. "Hi," my mouth hangs open. She has amazing close-set brown eyes. She tucks her bangs behind her dirty blond hair. She has the cutest nose. She's the first girl I saw whose not wearing the camp-half blood shirt. She's wearing a simple gray tee and a denim shorts. I met her just three seconds ago and I was head over heels. I might bow at her beauty.

Jeez, relax Zac she's not the first girl you met.

"I'm Madeline Johnson but you can call me Maddie. I'm really sorry about Grace back there. She can be quite annoying and mean. Just please go easy on her okay?" she smiles before walking back in the pavilion.

"Zac your drooling." Paige and Steph laugh.

We walk in the pavilion. Everyone stares at us like we were the Kardashians. We tried to ignore it but it was hard when all of them are looking at you.

Paige walk to the Aphrodite table and took a seat beside Piper while Steph sits at the Athena table. I proceed to the Hermes table trying to be calm and in control. As I took a portion of my meal to offer to the gods, I kept saying Please claim me, please just claim me.

I sit at the Hermes table; I caught sight of Maddie laughing while eating her ice cream. "You know that girl Maddie?"

Connor and Travis turn to me, "Yeah?"

"What is she?"

"She's a human." Travis snort a laugh.

I roll my eyes, "Obviously but you know what about her?"
