"You know you're going to have to do it sometime." Proclaimed Carter. She was from the Hephaestus cabin at camp half blood. Although she loved her half brother, Leo, he had to do it one time or another.

"GO LEO!" "Ok ok, I'm doin it I'm doin It." slowly but surely my brother got onto the climbing wall, and step by step he made his way up.

"You're doing it" I announced! My brother never liked the climbing wall. Since he was fire proof it's not like the flowing lava would hurt him in any way, but he was scared of falling. The big baby. "Yes I'm doing it!" he shouted with pride.

Just then he lost his grip. He plummeted to the ground and, SLAM; he was in the dirt and ruble. I leaned over him and said "Leo maybe its better if you don't go on the climbing wall." "I promise." He mumbled in a painful voice. "Now can you go call the paramedic?" I laughed humorously and went to get some ambrosia. "Here eat it but don't burn yourself alive." He ate it and was instantly up on his feet.

I started to unstrap myself from my holster when I looked up and noticed someone over by the Hecate cabin. He was new apparently because I saw Annabeth giving him a tour of the camp."And over here Charlie, is the Pegasus stables." His name was Charlie and to tell you the truth, I thought he was kinda cute.

I'm definitely not the "like every cute guy ever" type of girl. I like the woods, poking frogs with sticks, and wearing combat boots with my orange camp half-blood t-shirt and ripped up jeans. If that isn't boyish enough I like to wear my black hair in a ponytail nonstop! Everything is just easier this way.

Apparently I was staring for a long time; for Leo said "Uh Carter whyyyyy are you staring over there?" he said it with a humorous voice.

"What boy. There's no boy" I conformed kind of shakily.

"I never said anything about a boy" he chuckled

"I was just staring at, um, one of the Demeter boys turned another's hair into a bush is all" I squeaked out nervously.

"Uh, ok" he said dumbly.

Few, I thought. I looked back and he was gone.

Oh well I was probably going to see him at the bonfire tonight anyway.

I ran off to archery area with the rest of my cabin, and as I glanced over at the cabin area again, I saw Charlie. He had gorgeous brown shaggy hair, blue eyes (I think. I couldn't tell for sure for I was too far away), and a red t shirt with the words "Alexander High Baseball" on it. How cute!

I didn't know if he was claimed by his parent yet or not so I decided to ask Annabeth.

"Hey Annabeth!" I hollered

"Hey Carter what's up?" she asked

"Who is the new guy you just gave a tour to?" I questioned. Annabeth (as always) had her hair in a ponytail and her camp half blood t-shirt on.

"Oh that's Charlie. He just came this morning. Selena just brought him in."

"Selena the camper or Grovers sister Selena?" I asked because Grover sister is named Selena, as well as an Apollo camper.

"His sister." She replied.

"Do you know if he has been claimed yet? I was, ya know, just wondering." I was now rocking back and forth on my heels trying not to seem so eager. I was REALLY hoping he wasn't a Hephaestus kid because that would be awkward.

"Nope he just found it all out this morning. We're going to welcome him tonight at the bonfire." She looked at me with a suspicious face. "Why do you want to know?" she smirked.

"NO REASON!" I blurted out. Before she could become more suspicious I ran off to the archery arena.
