Chiron stamped his hoof. The campers didn't hear and kept on talking to their half-siblings.
"Quiet!" He roared. Almost instantly, the campers where silent. Chiron continued. "This summer, on July 30th, We will be having a masquerade ball. There are fictional characters in this hat. Each has a companion character. Example, Peter Pan and Wendy, or Wall-e and Eva. There will be other people too. Like Brad and Angelina Pitt. I even put some Greek gods in there. Now, to enter the ball, you must a have a mask with your costume. If you have a hat, just make sure you don't overdue on the mask. Now, as I pass around the hat, make sure you only grab one." Chiron walked around the room. I reached into the top hat and pulled one out. Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean. I groaned. Yeah, I had seen the movie, but Angelica was a brunette. Gods, what was I gonna do? Who was pro at situations like these? Silena Beauregard was the answer to my prayers. I glanced around looking for the daughter of Aphrodite. She was grinning ear-to-ear, looking down at her paper. She must've felt my stare, and looked right into my eyes.
Help. I mouthed. Silena cocked an eyebrow.
Who did you get? She mouthed back. I flipped my paper around so the name was facing her. She squinted.
What? I can't read that! She mouthed to me. I sighed.
After this, meet me out side. I replied. She bobbed her head in agreement. I looked for Chiron, who was giving Percy his character. Percy's eyeslit up as he read his slip of paper. I smiled. Seaweed Brain was such a little kids some times. I turned my focus back to Chiron, who was giving Nico and Thalia theirs. Once they got theirs, Chiron turned to all the campers.
"You are dismissed." I got up and walked over to Silena.
"So what did you get?" She asked. I showed her the slip. The daughter of Aphrodite let out a squeal.
"Guess, what I got?" I opened my mouth to answer, but Silena leaned to my ear and whisper "Eva from Wall-e!" I raised an eyebrow.
"What? I already know who got Wall-e." She jerked her head to the left. Leaned up against a cabin in the distance, was Charlie.
"Oh. That makes so much sense. Now I see why, you are so…hyperactive."
"I know! Well, I will go see if Chiron will let the older campers go shopping sometime. We'll be able to find everything in the NYC! Well, TTYL!" With that she skipped off to Charlie, leaving me still processing what she had jetted out at 100 mph. Gods, that girl could talk. And quite fast, too.
"So, who did you get?" A deep voice asked from behind me. I spun around, hand on my knife. Percy Jackson stood in front of me, a lopsided grin gracing his feature.
"I won't tell, if you don't tell me yours." I said. Percy scrunched up his nose.
"I am not telling you. Mind is too good." He answered. I laughed and punched his shoulder. We stood there for a second, just looking at each other.
"So…wanna spar tomorrow?" Percy suggested. I smiled.
"Just can't have any silence, can you?"
"Nope." He answered, popping the p. I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"So any drama happening in the Owl House?"
"Not really. We got a new camper. She is really shy right now. I mean, she did just come in last week. You know what's really odd?" I asked him, receiving an eyebrow raise. "She has brown hair. And green eyes! I mean her eye look like olives, so that's not so weird, considering Mom likes olives. But the brown hair I just don't get. Her dad died so I don't know what color hair he had, but still brown hair?" I quit rambling, and exhaled. Percy wore a bemused expression on his face.
"What?" I asked, suddenly self-conscious. Percy chuckled.
"You are going to figure this out, aren't you?"
"Yes, yes I am." I said defiantly. This statement earned another laugh out of Percy.
"What's her name?"
"Halle Selbon. She hates it when people call her Holly cause its spell like Halle Berry's name." Percy gave me a blank look.
"Why the Hades are you looking me like that?"
"Nothing, nothing. Hey, I got to go…umm…IM Tyson. I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked . I nodded.
"Tell him I said Hey. And that I will have a jar of peanut butter next time I see him." I smiled, remembering the Cyclops's love for peanut butter. Percy laughed again.
"Ok, will do. Bye, wise girl." I watched Percy's retreating form. I turned and walked to my cabin. This summer was going to be a good one.
