Unexpected

Chapter 1- Reyna POV

Whack!

I throw my blade into a skinny oak tree as I mentally cussed out Jason. Why did he have to show up, just as perfect and handsome as before, but with a stupid daughter of Venus? Doesn't he know how many tears I wasted over him when he was missing? I thought we had a great relationship but then Juno just had to swap Percy and Jason and make my life a mess.

I stop for a moment to redo my long black ponytail. It's a warm, lazy day. Birds chirp happily in their trees. Campers wander lazily around, training at their own pace, not really trying nor caring enough to. Even the fish in the lake seem to be taking it easy today.

I hate it. I like progress, I like working to reach a goal. I absolutely despise taking days off to do fun activates.

I tread up to the tree and retrieve my knife. I am probably the only camper today that actually is caring about training. Everybody else is busy with Jason and his friends that just arrived this morning. Nobody is making plans to sail to Greece, which is what I wish to be doing right now. When I mentioned this to Jason, he said, "Relax for once, Reyna!"

Whack! My knife hits the tree in the same spot as it always does.

"What did the tree ever do to you?"

I spin around upon hearing this male voice. Sure enough, behind me is one of Jason's friends. I forget his name but I don't think I'll ever forget his curly brown hair and cute, boyish face.

Wait a second? Did I, Reyna, praetor of Camp Jupiter, just call some measly demigod cute? What is going on with me?

"What do you mean?" I snap back at the boy.

He grins. "You are throwing a knife at a tree so I was joking and saying that the tree never did anything to you but here you are hurting it. It's called a joke. Man, are all praetors like this? Jason doesn't understand my jokes either."

I just stand there. I guess his joke was funny. I never really cared to laugh though. I don't laugh. Feeling uncomfortable about his joke going wrong, I decide to change the topic.

"What's your name again? And what are you doing out here?" I question.

This brought on an even bigger smile. Does this boy ever stop smiling? "Leo Valdez," he says and reaches out his hand for me to shake. I do so. Then we just stand there in an awkward silence for a few seconds.

"You never answered my question earlier," I tell him.

"Does it really matter why I'm out here?" he says defensively. I hold up my hands in surrender. For a boy who was just joking and looking all care-free, he suddenly changed into someone that looks much more mature. But that side of Leo only lasts for a few moments.

"Well, I better get heading back now. I know how hard it is for people to live without me for even the tiniest moment," he says. I smirk.

"See you around," I say and he walks away.

I throw my knife at the tree again and start to think. Leo Valdez. That name has a nice ring to it for some odd reason. I finally surrender and let my brain think the thought again; he was really cute! Funny too. But, he seemed cocky and laid-back, which is the exact opposite of me. I am realistic and never, ever lazy.

Even though we are so different, I can see us becoming friends. I mean, he must have been out in the forest for a reason. I wish he told me why. I guess he doesn't open up too much. That's one thing we share in common.

My favorite part of our conversation was when he got all defensive for a moment. That part of him rarely comes out, I think. Every sentence he said to me he expected me to laugh at. But that other side of him is the side I want to know. It scares me, but I am curious about Leo.

A/N: Thank you all for reading! Please review! All reviews are welcome! I will post the next chapter very soon.
