A/n: My fifth period biology class attempted to make a Harlem Shake video the other day. They failed. Epically. What happened was, that the kid who was to be the 'masked man' at the beginning, stood up onto one of the chairs, dived into the next row, causing the kid he landed on to lose his balance and fall to the floor. It wasn't until after all that, that the substitute told us to sit down in our chairs and be quiet. That only lasted for five minutes. Anyway, enough of me. Onto the story.
Disclaimer: So how's the weather? It's decent. Not great, but it's not that bad either. Okay, okay: I do not own PJO.
Comment of the Week:
A friend in second period p.e.: "I do not respond to my name very well. If somebody says 'Isabella!' I'll be, wait...who's Isabella?"
Oh, in case I didn't make this clear: I will be adding in different characters POV. Characters from Heroes of Olympus will be used.

Dear Diary,
I don't know how I found the time to write this. I really don't. I've spent half my time upgrading the Argo II, the other half making other random stuff in the forges underneath cabin 9, and the last half helping out with the Arts & Crafts classes.
Nice, I made one sentence into most of a , that paragraph doesn't make cents.
Get it? Cents?
I know, I know. Cheesy joke. (hehe, cheesy...)
Anyway, I can't half three halves of something. Well, unless I took half of one thing, half of another thing, and half of a last thing.
This is confusing me. Let's talk about something else today. Oh, look, Percy's trying to demonstrate his water-bending powers to his diary. Again. Apparently yesterday he was convinced his diary was laughing at him and he started yelling at his diary.
And they call me crazy.
But I think were all certified insane in several states, including Alaska, and they've got some crazies up there. Percy should know. He's been to Alaska. Let me go ask him. Hey, I wonder if he's part of the crazy people from Alaska. I bet there's a Crazy People From Alaska Club. I wonder if he has a badge. Let me go ask him.
I stuck my diary under my mattress, even though I don't have to worry about anybody snooping, with all the traps and stuff. Though I'm sure the Stolls would find some way to bypass them.
The cabin was empty, with everybody either at the forges or doing Arts & Crafts lessons. I stuck my head out the door. There goes Clarisee chasing Travis and Connor.
"Get back here, you punks!" She yelled at them. They just laughed and kept running.
Nope. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I shut the door, and walked out. I spotted Jason. I waved. He didn't see. I sighed, and kept walking toward Cabin Three.
As soon as I was within range of Cabin Three, I heard yelling. Uh-oh. This wouldn't be good, no matter what all the yelling was about.
I snuck around to the back of the cabin and tried looking through the window.
Styx.
Either the window was to high up, or I was too short. I hoped it was the former. There was a big, sturdy looking piece of driftwood over by the back door. I snuck around the back door, got the piece of driftwood, and dragged it back to the window.
It was heavier than I thought. It was more like a log. I put it underneath the window, and climbed on top of it.
It wasn't as sturdy as I thought either. I had to grab onto the window ledge to keep from falling off. Even still, the log was wobbly.
Cabin Three looked pretty nice. A water fountain gurgled in front of me, so I couldn't see that much. Darn it. I stood on tiptoes. Much better.
Percy was yelling at his diary. For the third time.
"...and I can't help it if I win at the canoe races all the time!" I heard Percy yell. I think he needs to go to therapy. I'm pretty sure I saw something on Groupon the other day.
Then, I felt like the world was being pulled out from under me. Which, sadly, with my crazy life, could be true.
"Aahh!" I yelled, swinging my arms out to break my fall. That didn't help much. I rolled several feet, crashing into something, no, somebody.
Laughter.
"Never thought I'd see you snooping around, Leo," said a familiar voice.
"Naughty, naughty, naughty," added another.
One guess. Yup. It was...
The Stolls.
Without thinking, I jumped, aimed, and was surprised when I hit my target. He punched back.
Several minutes of fighting continued.
I punched Travis in the nose. Connor punched me in the eye. I kicked him in the shin, and Travis punched me in the gut. I lost track of time, but soon enough, one of them had me pinned to the ground.
"Lemme go!" I said, attempting (and failing) to kick one of them.
"Fat chance," said Connor.
There victory was short lived though. Chiron saw us, and came over.
"Leo, stop kicking Travis. Connor, let go of Leo."
Eventually, I stopped kicking. Connor let go of me. I got up slowly, so the world wouldn't fall again. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Travis and Connor get up. I sent them a telepathic message:
I will have revenge.
I don't think they got it though. Oh well.
Chiron looked at us sternly. I knew what was coming. It was...
"Stable cleaning for a week. Starting after dinner tonight. Got to the infirmary to get those injuries taken care of. I don't want fighting from you three again," Chiron said. Then he left and headed toward the archery range.
Wait, what? No kitchen duty? Darn. I was actually looking forward to kitchen duty, with my immunity to fire and all.
I glared at Connor and Travis on the way to the infirmary. I bet I didn't look that intimidating, with me holding me black eye and all.
"So," said Connor.
"What were you doing over there, spying on Percy?" finished Travis.
"I wasn't spying on Percy!" I yelled, causing several campers to give us weird looks. "Or at least, not intentionally."
"Sure you weren't."
"I wasn't!" I insisted. "I was going to ask Percy if he has a Crazy People From Alaska Club badge yet. And I was going to ask him how crazy people from Alaska really are," I added.
The Stolls glanced at each other, as if they were sharing a private joke, and burst into laughter. A smile crept on my face, and I couldn't help but laugh along with them, even though I had no idea what they were laughing about. We kept laughing for a longtime after that.
And suddenly stopped when we got to the infirmary.
So that, my dear diary, was the highlight of today. The rest of the day was very uneventful, and very boring.
Well, I guess that's all for now,
Leo.
