Chapter II: Lavender

"Lavender huh?" He asked, raising a dark colored eyebrow at her. "So, Lav, where do you want to see first?" He asked, repeating himself. "Well, I would like to see where I'm going to be sleeping first.."I said, switching shoulders with her heavy backpack. "There's a lot of text books in here.."I explained, looking down at my feet. "Hold on."He said, wordlessly taking the backpack off. "Yeah, why do you have all these books?" He asked her raising an eyebrow. "Well, I was on the school bus when the cyclops busted in..so, naturally the bus broke down..and someone had to save those idiots."I said with a sigh, looking up at him. "Did you get hurt?"He asked her, watching me. "No,but I almost did a few times. I just kept running. You caught me before I really tried to fight back." I said looking at him. "Thank you." I told him, flashing a small smile at him. He looked away, and we were coming towards some cabins. "Wow look at those!" I exclaimed with a huge grin. He looked up at me, raising an eyebrow. "There neat huh?" He asked, steering me gently towards the Hermes cabin. "Thanks uhm..what's your name?" I asked, suddenly realizing I didn't know his name. He grinned at me. "Xander, Lav."He replied, as the cabin door opened, to the twins from earlier. "See? I knew she'd be coming here."He said to his brother, who rolled his eyes. "So, you guys got this?" Xander asked, throwing my bag at me. "Cause I got better stuff to do than showing this newbie around."He told them, running off to his siblings..or atleast, they all looked like each other. "Hi. I'm Lavender, nice to meet you."I said, offering my hand to the twins, who just greeted me with a mischievous smile. "I'm Connor, and he's Travis. We're your cabin counselors until you get claimed, okay?" He told me, pointing at his brother who had retreated back into the cabin. Connor walked me in the cabin. "This is Lavender."He announced, and I gave them a small sheepish grin, and sat my bag on my cott. "So, who are you sons of?" I asked, knowing a little about greek mythology..which now was paying off. "Hermes!" The twins exclaimed in unison. "Oh. Well then." I replied with a small laugh. "So.. can I just kind of look around, or do I still need an escort?" I asked, a sly smile on my face. "Nah, you're good." Travis replied, noting his siblings looking at her stuff. "Thanks Travis."I said, grinning at their surprised faces. "You can tell us apart?" Connor asked, shocked. Even his siblings struggled with that, and yet this new girl does it perfectly. "Yup." I said, walking out of the cabin, leaving them to their thoughts. I looked down at the ground, noticing that I had a shadow today, which sometimes.. I didn't and I tried to keep to the shadows when that happens. I looked at Xander, and his brothers and sisters, then at the rest of the camp, in almost a kind of shock. A few campers stopped to look at me. "New?" He asked. He had sea green eyes, with dark hair. "Yeah." I said, smiling shyly. I looked at the girl next to him, who was holding his hand. "Annabeth chase, nice to meet you." She said, offering her hand. I shook it with a smile. "Did you bring any stuff?" The boy asked me, and I nodded. "Yeah, I left it in my cabin." The girl and him exchanged a look. "To the camp store we go!" He exclaimed, leading me there.
