I was sitting on the big house roof thinking as I do alot these days, and just wondering how to spend my time today. I had already finished my sword lesson, ditched archery, and scaled the rock climbing wall( beating the previous camp record, which by the way was set in 234 BC. ) and was bored. I sat around a while longer listening to my ipod, before I realized that cabins were being checked today. So I jumped off the roof and ran into the black hole I call my room/cabin.
Maybe I should explain a bit about the cabins and why them being clean when they're checked is a necessary thing. You see, Annabeth, (my best friend) checks the cabins. And she writes down a score on her notebook of the neatness of the cabin. 5 is best, 0-1 is worse. The cabin with the highest score gets first dibs on the showers(and the warm water) and desserts at dinner, the worst cabin gets stuck with the dishes for the week.( And trust me, it's not that fun when everyone else is making smores and messing around outside the kitchen...)Well you get the picture.
So I made my bed, put all my magazines in a box, shoved my dirty clothes in my closet, got all the coke cans and gum wrapers of my floor and into the trash, it looked ok. So I went to the bathroom, when I came back Annabeth was aready inside my cabin, I had just enough time to walk in before she announced my score,
" 3, not bad Percy, a lot better than last time." She said with a nod.
"Keep up the good work," She said before leaving.
I felt good, also tired, so I jumped onto the top bunk of my bed, got on my computer and went on face book.
OMG I commented on Grover's wall, he's getting married to his wood nymph girlfriend ( He asked me not to tell anyone who it was. BUT COME ON! HOW ARE PEOPLE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHEN YOU POST IT ON FACE BOOK?) Just before I finished my post, I heard a knock at my door,
" It's open!" I called, posting the comment.
Pollux came in carrying a flyer for the camps dance, It's held every year, usually I just go with the group of guys, who aren't into this stuff either and we shoot baskets. ( we throw balls of crumpled up paper into a trash can 3 feet away...)
"Heya Percy" He said.
"What up?" I asked as I always do,
" Have you decided to ask her yet? " He questioned.
" Nope, I'm not asking Annabeth out, and YOU, my friend, can't make me." I said a little too defensively.
" Then hows about a bet? If I win you take Annabeth to the dance and tell her you love her, If you win..." Pollux thought for a second,
"... I'll make out with Clarrise." Pollux said very confidently.
I laughed right there,
" Kay, I'd LOVE to see your face covered in black lipgloss." I said, I had absolutely no reason to be worried.
" Now for the bet, I bet ya I can beat you at sword, tonight, no redo's or postponement, first one on their backs loses." I said, sure that I would win, AND get to see pollux walk out of the Ares cabin, with a black face, on the same day.
" Well, see ya then," Pollux said.
" Bye." He said, then he left.
