Nick told Mitchel and Jay the story of how he became a figurine. It had happened five months ago. Nick had been a Junior in High School. He was popular and very handsome with short, wavy blond hair and bright blue eyes. He had a masculine face with a lean, muscular body. He was also the top wrestler in his school. It was no wonder he had been invited to this sports conference in Florida.
However, they had to make a detour due to a flat. They stopped in front of an old Bed and Breakfast. It was a three story building with a quarter of a yard backward and a two story greenhouse. Nick walked in, looking around the building. There were five other guys with him, each from a different school.
The first guy was a dude named Jerry Miller. He was five feet, six inches with curly brown hair. He was a pitcher for Lakewood High.
Then there was Miguel Cortez. He was a track star from West Bridge High. He was about 5'11", with a tan, and wire-framed glasses.
Next were twin brothers Travis and Conner Walker. They were identical twins with bright red hair and masculine faces. They were lucky enough to both be invited at the same time. Travis was here for being good at Tennis and Conner was here for soccer.
Last was Jo Peterson. He was a tall, 5'11" guy with short combed, black hair. He had a strong build, which was wasn't hard to see due to the tight clothing he wore. He was the top swimmer for North Creek High.
After they were given their rooms for the night, Nick went up to his. On his way, he stopped at an interesting statue. Being Greek, he knew of some stories for his culture. Medusa just happened to be one of those widely known stories. However, he was sure that there was never a story of Medusa conquering Perseus before. The statue was of a guy, possible Perseus if the winged shoes and shield gave any clue, looking up into Medusa's eyes. The statue had a frightened expression on its face.
"Hey Nick," he heard Jo call. "They've got a pool next to that greenhouse thing. Wanna come?"
"Uh, sure." he shrugged. He dropped off his things and followed Jo to the pool. As the two went, Nick heard some of the other others talking about exploring a bit. He heard Travis and Jerry going into that hedge maze while Conner went to check out the greenhouse. Miguel would be joining him and Jo after he checked out the sauna.
The boys split up, unaware of the bus driving and coach drive off.
