A New World

Chapter 9

We found peter and Zac trying to bounce stones on the surface of the lake with Cornelia. But Cornelia was just reading a magazine. And we found Annabeth and Will walking back into camp from the entrance with Mr C and a boy about my age.
He has sandy blonde hair  and sea green eyes. I feel like I should know him but we have never met before.
"Hi guys. Who's this?" I ask indicating towards the new boy.
"Bloom this is Percy. Some family problems came up and he couldn't come at the beginning of the camp. I think you two will become friends very fast." Mr C answered me before whispering something in Percy's ear. Then he started to wheel himself to his cabin.
"Guys.... we need to talk...About everything and the truth about the path." I said while looking Will and Annabeth in the eyes.
"Okay. But Percy comes too. Can he be the eight member of our group??" Annabeth asked.
I nodded and said yes in response. And we all headed to my cabin.
As we were passing Mr C's cabin. Percy grabbed me by the arm and said-
"We should include Mr C in this conversation. He will be able to explain some things that you might want to know."
Percy's grip on my arm felt weird. I felt a spark between our skin when his hand touched my arm. His eyes weren't pleading but they were almost unsure and they were caring.
I responded with-
"I guess he could be a part of this conversation. But he's just our teacher. He probably will think I'm crazy and send me to an asylum."
"He won't think your crazy and he won't do that. There are things he knows about you that you might be ready for. But it's up to him, what he says." Annabeth calmly says to me as Percy takes his hand off my arm but he kept his gaze on me.
"What....Okay." I nodded and Annabeth went up to Mr C's Cabin door and told him about the situation of the conversation. Not long after Mr C came out of his cabin. He nodded to me and we all went into my cabin.
