Prologue
I stared at the clock, waiting for it to read ten. That's when I could leave.
My fingers tapped against the cold hard surface of the granite counter tops. Finally, I called out, "Mom! I've been ready to go since seven! Are you coming, or what?"
My mom rushed down the stairs, putting in an earring. "Why are you in such a hurry to get to camp, Delilah?"
I frowned down at the counter top and muttered, "The sooner I get there, the sooner I'll get claimed."
She shook her head, "Delilah, you know that's not true."
"Whatever," I replied, "Can we just go?"
"Grab your stuff," she said icily.
After a long, boring, silent car ride, we arrived at camp. This would be my second year and I hoped I'd be claimed.
I stepped out of the car and sighed. Grabbing my stuff, I turned to my mom and said, "See you at the end of summer." I began to walk up the hill and my mom drove away.
The sign above me said "Camp Half-Blood."
"I'm home," I whispered to myself, a smile crossing my lips.
I'm SOOO sorry about how short this is. When I wrote it, I was in a hurry. R&R!
