My day was confusing even before I fell off a cliff. Really, how simple can I make it? It was just a hectic day.

I had opened my eyes to find myself in a room I didn't know, with a snoring bunkmate I didn't know, and in pajamas I didn't know I had. If you didn't already gather, this was very unsettling to me; but there was more.

I didn't remember anything.

Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nothing.

This was even more unsettling. Not knowing how you got into a bed the night before is easier explained than not knowing your own name. I glanced around, trying to gather information. The band poster on the wall across from me looked more like a three-year-old doodled and scribbled in a few places around the picture than words. From this, I gathered that reading really wasn't my thing. After shaking my head and stretching a few times, I got out of bed and repeated the routine. I looked around. I had to think: where were my clothes? Did I have any? Was I in the wrong room if I didn't remember anything? Then I thought, Even if I was in the wrong room, I'd remember my name at least.

"Lost, Percy?"

I glanced around until my eyes fell on the kid on the top bunk. He had floppy, dirty blonde hair and blue eyes that looked more tired than anything.

My conclusion? Not a morning person.

Boy, was I right.

"Uh," I replied, making up excuses in my head. "I guess. I'm having a bit of short term memory loss, I guess."

"Hmm," said the kid, pointing at a dresser in the corner of the room. "You stacked your stuff out on your dresser last night. I don't know why, but you just did. You don't usually do that, but I guess you didn't want to deal with it when you woke up." He shrugged. "That's what I do."

I looked over at the dresser.

Something made me suspicious. His reply was too...uncaring? Nah, this is how people act in the morning, right? It was more of a, go on! I promise nothing's wrong! tone.

I walked over to my clothes and carefully reached out to examine my clothing before putting it all on. Thankfully, I did, because they had a sort of syrup on the inside.

"Hey!" I said. The guy snickered, but kept quiet other than that. "You're trying to take advantage of my memory, huh?"

"Okay, okay," he cracked. "I did it! But it was good, huh?"

"What in the-" I started, then laughed. I realized what I was about to say and it made no sense. This was one heck of a morning.

What in the name of Hades?

I got good clothes on and headed downstairs with Theo. Yeah, I found out the guy's name eventually, seeing as how he wrote his name all over his basketball shoes. I called him Theo and he acted normally, so I guessed I was right.

We sat down at a table in the dinning hall. Theo was quite the joker. I found it odd to be laughing over breakfast, but I suppose it's tough not to laugh around this guy.

A girl sat down next to me at the table.

"G' mornin' sunshine." She put her arm around my shoulder and smiled. Her strawberry-blonde hair brushed my cheek. I looked up at Theo as if to ask, "Is this normal?"

He smiled, nodded his head, and winked at me.

I didn't know if that was a good or bad sign.

"Morinin'," I replied in the middle of a yawn.

"Ha, guess you didn't check the clock yet."

"Hmm?"

She looked up at me and winked. "It's noon, smart one. We're going on that field trip later today. Up for a bit of Deception Pass?"

I blinked.

"What?"

"The state park, smart one." Theo punched me lightly in the shoulder.

"Oh, right. sorry."

The girl looked at me and frowned. "You feeling all right today? You're not as cheery as you usually are." I looked down at her. She was a few inches shorter than me, but still pretty. Her eyes were a light brown that complimented the rest of her complexion. I realized I didn't even know her name. This, again, terrified me.

"I've sort of been forgetting a lot of stuff lately."

She tossed my hair a bit.

"Dearly beloved, are you listening? I can't remember a word that you were saying..."

"Why do you have to sing all the time?" Theo looked like he'd been driven to the point of insanity.

"What, you don't like my singing?"

"No," I answered for him. "It's great." I probably sounded really stupid when I said that.

Theo leaned over me and said, "He's forgetting. He doesn't understand. Percy's delusional."

"Yeah, yeah. Excuses." She giggled a little bit. "See you all at the bus." She got up and walked out of the dining hall.

"Man..." I looked at Theo. He looked back at me cautiously.

"You don't even remember her, do you?"

I didn't even need to respond.

No. I didn't.
