Anyways, enjoy!

"Just because I'm the new kid doesn't mean you have to treat me so lowly!" I screamed out.

I stood in the Hermes cabin yelling senseless nothings to no one in particular. Fortunately, the cabin had been empty, which it rarely was. I looked at myself in the mirror, combing down my dark, long choppy hair with my fingers.

I hated it, I hated everything. I had been infuriated with my confusion, with my ADHD, and how I am suddenly brought to this stupid camp without any sort of explanation. On top of that, I am crammed in this cabin, bunched with the undetermined and the Hermes kids. Apparently, I've been the undetermined. Everyone had treated me so nicely, I didn't like that very much. I don't want to be known as the newbie or rookie, I wanted to be ahead of the game!

Recently, I've been kicked from one orphanage due to my- let's just say small experiment. I rubbed my hands mischievously.

As expected, I was transferred to a different orphanage. Again, there was another explosion, but this time, it wasn't me! Out of nowhere, a bird-like creature appeared, threatening to devour me, of course no one would believe me. So, I escaped from that horrible prison, and the next second I'm brought here.

I let out a barely audible sigh and stepped out of my cabin, running into an Asian kid with a buzz cut hair style standing next to a beautiful girl chocolate skinned girl with wavy black hair. They were both had the same expression, smiling as if there's no tomorrow. As for me, I scowled as I still have a horrible life ahead of myself.

"I'm sorry!" the girl apologize placing her hand over her mouth like it was some big deal.

"Better watch out next time," a scowl appeared on my face.

Yet, they still stood there, like I owed them something else. "Talk about rude," the boy arched his eye brows.

"Watcha' say water jug!?" I clenched my fist.

"Frank!" the girl stood in the middle of us.

I scratched my head in frustration. "I'm sorry, I'm just having a bad day. My life is definitely ruined." In all honesty, I'm not normally this rude.

The girl giggled. "No problem! I'm Hazel, and this is Frank!" The girl gestured to the boy. "I've never seen you here before, actually."

"It's my first day," I said straightforwardly, ready to answer anymore questions she had.

"Ah… first days are always the worst, but you'll get used to it eventually," Hazel gave me a reassuring smile. "Well, nice meeting you… um… actually I never got your name yet?"

"Bailey," I managed to crack a smile despite all that's happened so far. "I'm Bailey Garcia."

"Well, good luck, Bailey!" Hazel smiled walk away Frank.

"Now that I think about it, doesn't she look familiar?" Frank asked as they walked farther ahead.

"I'm starting to get a feeling she's someone I know," Hazel nodded in agreement.

I sighed, I really need to watch my mouth this time.

I had been walking leisurely alongside of the forest until I heard two voices. "Are you even listening, Seaweed brain?"

"Yeah," he chuckled. "I heard you."

I poked my head to see two demigods, around the age of eighteen, sitting close to each other.

"I swear by the gods, I'm going to kill you if you ever leave me again." the blonde girl said, choking back her tears.

The tall boy, with black hair and sea green eyes smiled reassuringly at her. "Annabeth, I love you enough to know I will always come back. Besides, if I ever leave again, I'll be happy to watch you tear me into pieces," he boy joked.

The blonde smiled in relief and kissed the boy right on the lips.

That moment would've been romantic, if I hadn't intruded. As the two broke off their overdue kiss, they turned to see I was staring at them in shock. I waved my fingers nervously.

There I was, sitting on a log while the blonde, Annabeth stood there with her arms crossed in anger. Both were as red as a cherry, but Annabeth was the one I was frightened of.

"Why is a newcomer lingering near the forest?" Annabeth peered into my eyes which sent a cold shiver down my spine.

"I…I," Was I suppose to lie? "I was just curious," I said finally deciding to tell the truth.

"Come on, wise girl, can't you let her off the hook?" Percy pleaded. "I mean, weren't you a bit curious when you first entered the camp?"

Annabeth looked at Percy hesitantly then dropped her gazed back at me.

"Fine," Annabeth huffed. "But that's only because you remind me of a girl I know."

"She does look familiar so someone we know, doesn't she," Percy rubbed his fingers on his chin.

"If only I could put a finger on it," rubbed the temples on her forehead. "Anyways, you should watch your back rookie. The Romans have agreed to team up with us, but we still have to be cautious about everything else around here," she said strictly. "Please heed my warning."

I nodded my head obediently. "Yes, ma'am."

With that, I hurried out of the forest.

Apparently, after dinner, they had some kind of campfire gathering.

On the bright side had met a couple of people... who sort of despise me at the moment. I guess I have made a few enemies on the first day on camp.

Suddenly, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. "Hey, Piper."

I whirled around.

"Whoa!" A blonde boy, with blue eyes stared at me in shock. He was tall and lean; very handsome actually.

"You're not Piper," he exclaimed.

"Obviously not," I crossed my arms impatiently.

"Jason!" a girl with choppy, dirty-blonde hair, and braids that hung to the sides of her face, approached the boy.

"Oh, there you are Piper!" the boy whose name was obviously Jason, exclaimed.

"Whose this?" Piper raised her eye brows and glanced

at Jason in curiosity.

"Well, actually," Jason scratched the back of his head. "I mistaken her for you."

Piper tilted her head then smiled at Jason; like they were a couple. She definitely didn't resemble me one bit. She was beautiful, her words moved anyone, and she was definitely every guy's dream.

"Anyways, sorry for bothering you," Piper smiled sweetly.

I didn't know what this feeling was, I felt the urge to forgive her suddenly. Like she was the greatest, most modest person on earth.

"Yes, apology forgiven!" I exclaimed quickly, like she suddenly juiced it out of me.

Piper flashed her last smile and walked off with Jason.

As expected, I sat alone. Everyone was enjoying their time, sitting by the campfire, singing as the fire grew brighter and bigger. Water ran down my face, as looked up at the sky, it was raining.

Just my luck. I thought to myself as the rain fell.

But nobody seemed to care, their just enjoying their time, their perfect, carefree life.

"BOOM!" the sky roared in anger.

Thunder… thunder… I thought to myself.

My head started to throb, my body started to ache, I held my head, and winced at the pain. It felt as if electricity was running through my veins. Images of thunder flashed through my mind. I was clueless, but continued to endure the burning pain in my body.

After a few seconds, I started to settle down and the pain started to subside.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a lighting bolt that laid on my hands. Sparks flew out of the bolt as electricity ran through the zig, zag figure. I then realized I was still at the campfire gathering, everything was suddenly quiet, all eyes on me.

Everyone was staring at me, at the bolt, at my forehead, like I was some sort of monster.

"Oh no, it couldn't be!" one whispered

"Another one? How far will the big three go?"

A middle aged man approached me. The upper part of his body belonged to aman, while the lower part of his body were ones of a horse. Nothing new to her, considering she's encountered some pretty weird creatures.

"Hello, Bailey, I'm Chiron," he smiled gently at her.

He was probably the only one who calmly approached me.

"Y…You're a centaur right?" I shivered.

"Correct!" he laughed, while the rest of the demigods remained in shock. "Will you please follow me for a bit?"

I nodded and followed the half horse, half man.

I sat in his office nervously. He was now on a wheelchair sitting across me calmly.

"Bailey, have you heard about the big three myth?" Chiron asked.

I shook my head.

Chiron explained how the three gods, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades produced the most powerful demigods. They were the demigods that led to surprises, including the world war II. The big three then made a pact that they would never produce another mortal child.

"There's a likely chance that you'll be experiencing some strange things by the time you turn sixteen."

"Mr. Chiron, I've been experiencing some really weird things the past few days, and I'm only fourteen." I pointed out

Chiron let out a heavy sigh. "Ms. Bailey. I'm warning you. Your days could be numbered from now on."

The sound of numbered days sent chills down my spine.

"I'm sorry sir," I held her head down.

Chiron patted my head and chuckled.

Chiron smiled. "Dear, your father is Zeus."

My eyes widened at the sound of that. "Zeus! That dude who controls the weather?"

Chiron nodded and laughed at my statement. I've watched movies and heard tales about the Greek god Zeus. That guy seems pretty magnificent to me.

"Well, that explains the lightning bolt!" I looked at my hands, remembering the zig-zag like figure that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Anyways, have you met Jason yet?"

"That blonde kid?"

"That's him!" Chiron exclaimed. "Find Cabin one, it's hard to miss!" Chiron gave me a reassuring smile, "With Jason there, I'm sure everything will be fine."

I nodded one last time and headed out to cabin #1.

I was a bit intimidated because I felt a few eyes follow me was I walked through the cabins.

As I reached cabin #1, I opened the wooden door reluctantly, only to find Piper and Jason sitting right beside each other.

"Uh… sorry! Am I interrupting something?" I asked nervously.

"No…not at all," Piper smiled at me, but I only saw uneasiness in her eyes.

"May I come in?" I asked a bit timid.

"Sure," Jason smiled faintly.

The room was a bit tensed for the passed few minutes. I began feeling guilty for intruding.

"Piper…" I glanced at her. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No," Piper gave me a sad smile.

"It's just that… it's a bit uneasy to think that someone who looks a bit like me will be sharing a cabin alone with Jason. He's kind of my boyfriend you know?" She explained truthfully.

I cracked a smile, trying to hold in my laugh, but it was too difficult. Luckily I hadn't burst into laughter.

"Piper, if you hadn't already noticed, I'm practically Jason's sibling," I chuckled trying to calm myself down.

Piper sat their a bit flustered. "Still…"

Jason grabbed Piper's hand reassuringly. "It's going to be okay, Pipes. You'll always be my awesome girlfriend."

Piper nodded trying to hide her embarrassed face. "Okay, I understand," Piper let out a heavy sigh and walked to the door. "Goodnight Jason and Jason's little sister!" With that she exited the cabin.

After Piper left the room, Jason then turned his attention to me.

"I've never actually learned your name yet," he said.

"My name," I shifted my feet a bit nervous. "My name is Bailey Garcia."

"Bailey…" Jason looked up at the ceiling as if he were thinking of something to say. "That's quite a show you put on during the campfire."

I nodded not wanting to remember the horrible pain.

There was absolutely nothing for them to talk about.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, I decided to say something."May I take a walk outside?"

Jason looked out the door. "It's pretty late."

I jumped up on my two feet and walked by the door. "Don't worry," I smiled, trying to put Jason's mind at ease. "I'll be back before you know it."

Jason nodded approvingly, and with that, I headed outside the cabin.

It was pretty dark and cold outside. I buried my hands into my pockets and quietly strolled around the large campground. I came upon a small tree, near the forest. I shifted my eyes to the side, remembering my encounter with Annabeth and Percy. Well, I never follow rules anyway.

I grabbed on to a branch and lifted my weight up. Once I found a sturdy branch to sit upon, I looked out and saw the view of the camp.

"This is my home, eh," I said quietly holding unto the tree as best as I could.

Water began streaming down my face. I wiped it off with the back of my hands, but it continuously fell from my eyes. I, for once, understand that I know have a home, a permanent place to live in, where I'll be accepted no matter what happens. It was really welcoming to think that. To think that, even if I encounter the possibility of dying, other people will still care for me and stand next to me. This is where I belong…

After enjoying my few minutes of peace and quiet, I heard whistling, and footsteps. Someone is still awake at this hour? I thought to myself.

I leaned forward to see a person carrying blocks of wood in one arm and a tool belt wrapped around his waist. He had curly black hair, and an impish smile. Repair boy? I thought to myself.

I leaned even further, and like the person I am to not take cautious of anything, I slipped and fell. Fortunately, something broke my fall.

"Ouch!" I looked behind me. It was that repair kid, who seemed a bit in pain.

I sat on the other side of the bench, hoping I wouldn't say something rude soon.

"Anyways," I turned to him.

He fiddled with pinwheel, absentmindedly.

"I'm sorry for almost crushing your scrawny body."

He looked up at me and that was the moment I realized I had said something rude again. I clasped my hand over my mouth.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"

An large grin appeared on his face. "That's okay, I get that a lot anyway."

My cold heart started to melt, I defiantly fell for that smile easily.

My face grew hot, and I sat there staring at his face with wide eyes.

"W…what?" he asked a little uneasy.

"N…nothing!" I buried my face into my knees. There's nothing more embarrassing than staring at someones face for so long.

"Hey," he started fiddling with his pinwheel again. I lifted my head up. "I've never actually seen you around here before."

"That's because…." I straightened my back. "I'm new here."

"First day? Do you like it here?" he asked.

I nodded. "I feel very welcome at this camp."

He smiled; still not meeting my eyes. "Doesn't it?"

"Yeah. I used to be an outcast at the orphanage, nobody would talk to me because I was 'different.' And yet, with everyone a couple here, I still feel apart of something."

The boy stopped fiddling his pinwheel for a second and turned his attention to me.

"You've noticed too?" he asked, moving in closer.

"Noticed what?"

"That everyone practically dating someone?"

"Well, yeah but-"

"Have you heard of me?" he asked.

"N…no, I don't even know your name."

He chuckled. "I'm the camp's biggest flirt!" he pointed at himself. "Leo Valdez!"

I paused for a short while. "So?"

Leo stayed frozen for a while. "Um…so…"

"That doesn't change that fact that your still single," I pointed out.

Leo sat there thinking for a few seconds. "Shall we change that?" he leaned close to my face.

My heart leaped out of my chest, but I decided to shut my eyes and kept my cool.

"Go ahead."

A few seconds past and there was no answer. I opened my eyes to see Leo sat there; dumbfounded.

"R…really? I'm usually rejected after that."

I laughed. "I'm fine with it. Since meeting you was actually the highlight of my day."

The boy stayed quiet, his face a little red.

"Not going to kiss me, are you now?' I smirked.

Suddenly, we heard footsteps.

"We better head out," he grasped my hand and ran ahead. Despite his scrawny figure, he was pretty strong.

We came to a halt in front of a huge ship. I stared at the beautiful boat in awe.

"I built it," Leo said probably noticing my amazement.

"Whoa! No way!" my eyes shone with wonder. "I wonder why girls doesn't find that attractive."

Again, it became silent and again, I ran my mouth too much.

"What I mean is… I wonder how you built this with your own two hands… yeah… that's what I meant," I said nervously.

"With a little magic actually," Leo smiled. "Her name's Argo II."

"Argo II" I observed the amazingly built ship for a few moments. "How'd steer this thing?"

"With a Wii remote!" He exclaimed proudly.

I paused for a moment. "What a vivid imagination you have there."

"There's some advantages that come with ADHD ya know," he smiled.

His hand suddenly flashed into a ball of fire.

"Whoa! You can summon fire!" I exclaimed.

"You…don't think that's freaky?" Leo asked.

"No way! I've always wanted to hold fire with my own bare hands!"

"Well… you can summon lighting!"

I froze for a while. "You saw that?"

"It's was totally epic!" Leo exclaimed. "It seems like only yesterday when Jason found out he was the son of Jupiter… I mean Zeus."

"And you are the son of…"

"Hephaestus, son of blacksmith and fire," Leo smiled.

"Well, that explains a lot," I turned my gaze at the fire which still burned in his hands.

Leo held his hands in his pockets to extinguish the fire.

"Well, I guess I'll see you around Leo. Jason's probably worrying," I said staring at the ship in awe. Then I turned around and headed towards the cabin.

"Wait!" he called out.

I whirled around.

"What's your name?"

I had totally forgot to give him my name.

"Bailey Garcia!" I beamed one last smile at him and waved goodbye.

That's when I realized, I'm really going to enjoy this camp.

Hi guys! So I decided to do a Fanfic about the series "Heroes of Olympus." I just... really, really love this book. (I do not own the story Heroes of Olympus, the characters (except Bailey Garcia, a fictional character) or the setting.)

Thanks for tolerating my HORRIBLE grammar. I wrote all this in one day, and hadn't asked anyone to edit my story, so... I guess it turned out like this.

If you liked this chapter, please review telling me whether I should continue this fanfic. If you didn't like this chapter, please give me constructive criticism. The chapters get better, I promise!

:D Again, thanks for reading!
