Hey fanfiction readers! This is my first story and it's definitely OOC so I need reviews if I should continue it or throw it away in the trash for it to be forever forgotten (I know so dramatic! Lol). I don't care if the comments are rude or not because I wrote this out of boredom one day... BUT! I will continue and finish the story if you guys like it ;)

Katie's Pov:

I took a deep breath as I observed myself in the mirror one last time. Long, wavy dirty-blonde colored hair with greenish hazel eyes, curves in all the right places, long legs, pink lips, and a very nice tan, I actually look really...hot. That was one of my goals this year, well subconsciously. Okay I know I sound like an Aphrodite daughter but hear me out; basically ever since 6th grade, when boys and girls really start to take interest of each other and I was first brought to Camp Half-Blood, I was classified as one of the cute girls. I was perfectly fine with that until the summer after 8th grade when it got passed the awkward stage of dating someone else. I never wore glasses or had braces since my eyes and teeth were perfectly fine but I got stuck in the she-is-like-a-little-sister-to-me spot. So from 6th -10th grade, I was best friends with some of the hottest guys in school but I couldn't ask any of them out. Sure, I got asked out and kissed by some nice guys at that time because I know I wasn't ugly but it is still just about depressing as a dude being "just friends" with a hot girl. You can't go anywhere with that!

Anyway, back to the present, I'm 16 years old and just finished sophomore year in high school and I'm finally going back to camp, my real home. "Hey Kates! Are you ready?" my dad yells from down the stairs. "Yeah! I'll be down in a bit." I answered. I took one last look at my room, grabbed my luggage, and headed to the living room where the rest of my family was waiting. I don't have a complicated life back at home like other half-bloods have to deal with when living with their mortal families. My dad, William Gardner, and his sister/my aunt, Lillian Gardner, live together in a fancy apartment with her twins/my cousins, James and Elizabeth Gardner who are six years old. My dad and aunt aren't like other mortals either. My aunt can see through mist and my dad has like a weird sixth sense and knows when a monster or someone godly is near us. So all three of us working together, thankfully, has saved me countless of times and prevented me from being most wanted in America.

How my parents met was the typical 'older brother falls for sister's best friend' or 'sister's best friend falls for the brother' whatever way you want to spin it but anyway after a year in college of hiding feelings they tell each other on a romantic night and within two years I, Katherine Rose Gardner, was born. End of Story.

Finally, after thirty minutes, everyone got into the car and we made our way to camp. The twins immediately fell asleep and we all were in a comfortable silence. I can tell my dad hates this time of year because it's the worry-of-me-dying-and-never-coming-back type of summer but at least it has lessened since last summer against the Titans. Excitement bubbled inside me as we were nearing camp. The familiar road and trees were like happy greetings as we got closer and closer to my home. My dad barely stopped the car before I jumped out ran to greet Chiron who was standing at the edge waiting for new and returning campers.

"Hey Chiron! It's nice to see you again." I smiled. Chiron still looked the same with gentle brown eyes that looked a hundred years old.

"Hello Katie. Same to you. Now listen, I have chosen you to be cabin leader for this summer since Miranda went off to college and won't be a camper anymore." Chiron told me. I was ecstatic but a bit sad at the same time. Miranda was like a sister to me and helped me when I first got here four years ago. I promised myself that I would be just as good of a cabin leader if not more.

"Katie, dear. A little help please..." my aunt was failing epically at trying to carry my luggage. Dad rolled his eyes and easily picked up the luggage and brought it over to me. Aunt Lily just glared angrily at him and flicked him the bird behind his back. I stifled a laugh and told everyone bye and walked over to my cabin.

After of a couple hours of unpacking and setting up the cabin, everyone really started to enter camp. It was soon time for dinner in the dining hall. I quickly decided to take a shower and change into a casual green tank top with white shorts and some flip-flops. As I was drying my hair with a towel, I heard Travis' voice in the distance. "Hey Connor, I'll meet you in the dining hall later. I'm going to say hi to a friend." I scoffed, I would hardly consider me and Travis friends...more like acquaintances. I decided last summer that we were too old to be at each other's throats every second of the day so we made a mutual agreement.

"Greetings Katie!" he shouted as he just randomly entered my cabin. I screamed and threw the towel at him. "Gods! Have you ever heard of knocking? I could have been changing for all you know!" I said hotly.

"Umm yes I heard of knocking but I just didn't want to do it." I rolled my eyes but then immediately became self-conscious as he eyed me up and down. "And I definitely wouldn't mind walking on you changing." He joked, winking at me.

"Too bad I can't say the same for you." I replied, winking back but then quickly added, "I believe the great Travis Stoll just got dissed and dismissed." He stuck his tongue out and closed the door but not before saying that he will meet me in the dining hall. My thoughts turned toward Travis and how he looks now. He definitely got a lot hotter over the school year with his brownish-blonde colored hair, and piercing baby-blue eyes. He became muscular too, but not too bulky, and was now a couple inches taller than me. I would never tell him that though. Travis is already over egotistical and I won't put myself in a position to deal with 'I'm sorry Katie. Can you repeat that over and over again while I record your voice and make a video so I can put it on youtube?' I shuddered at the thought. No way in Hades was I going to let that happen ever.

The dinner bell rang, signaling time for dinner. I wrapped my hair in a ponytail and sprinted to the dining hall to join the others. 'Please make this the best summer.' I prayed silently.

So that's the first chapter! Love it? Hate it? Need a couple more chapters to make an opinion? Let me know!

Remember I wrote this out of pure boredom so don't judge me on grammar/spelling mistakes!

Review please
