Isabella's POV
Dinner. What a wonderful time of the day. My mouth was nearly watering from all of the amazing smells. Steak, barbecue, mac & cheese, and other delicious foods that would've made me stop to wonder where it came from. But I have about 7 different modes: Sleepy, happy, sad, confused, smart, dumb, and hungry. What can I say? Simple is better.
Uncertain of what to do, I hung back until two friendly and goofy looking guys came up to me and said, "You're the new camper right?"
"Yeah."
"Awesome, I'm Travis and this is my bro Connor," The taller boy grinned when Connor glared at him. Then they looked at me expectantly.
"Oh," Hello manners? Where are you? "I'm Izzy."
"Can I call you the Izzle Schmizzle de Wizzle?" Connor immediately asked.
Uh… is this boy in 3rd grade or something? "If I remember to reply to that name, sure I guess." Yeah..no.
"Well follow us and do exactly as we do. Aight?" Travis nodded and didn't stop until I nodded with him.
Then they both turned and swaggered into the line, both grabbing a tray. I followed them and I thought, What the hell?
"No no no! I said EXACTLY as we do," Travis complained. "As in, you do everything exactly the way we do it."
I stared at them in disbelief. "Are you kidding?!"
"No. As a matter of fact, we are not," Connor confirmed. "And don't make us make you start over."
"Oh look the line moved up," I mumbled and walked around them so I was in front of them.
Travis grinned, "You'd make a wonderful daughter of Hermes."
I shrugged and piled steak, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese on my plate, then I grabbed a separate bowl of salad and managed to hold on to a cup of coke and carry everything to the Hermes table without falling over.
There weren't any girls I could see at the table. Bummer. I sighed and sat on the edge of the bench. Then Connor slid onto the bench next to me and Travis across from me.
"Looks like you're the only girl," Travis teased. "All the other girls have been claimed so… sucks for you."
"Well you're nice," I muttered sourly. I stabbed my fork into some macaroni & cheese before Connor stopped me.
"Hey, you're not supposed to eat yet. You have to sacrifice some of your food to the gods, and then you eat."
Huh. No wonder their trays were piled so high with food.

After a wonderful dinner with an amazing dessert, I went to the beach just to relax. The sun already started setting and the sky was tinted with orange and pink. It was beautiful. Then I heard footsteps in the sand behind me, lazily, I looked behind me and saw Will.
He grinned, "If I were a monster, you'd be dead by now."
"I've only been here for like 2 days," I sighed.
"You'll learn," he replied and sat down beside me. For a while we just sat in silence before he broke it, "The sun is beautiful."
I was about to reply with a sarcastic "Nooo really" but instead I said, "Your dad's the sun god though isn't he? Like, if you said the sun was ugly he'd strike you down with a fireball, right?"
He laughed, "I dunno."
Another hour passed with us just chatting together before another horn blew. "That means we have to be back to our cabins," Will sighed. "If not, the harpies will get us."
"Oh," What are harpies..? "Well I'll see ya tomorrow then."
"See ya," Will turned and jogged towards his cabin.
I stood up and dusted myself off. By the time I got to the Hermes cabin, the Hermes boys had managed to get together a sleeping roll with a pillow and a blanket, and toiletries.
"Wow, thanks," I said when they presented it to me dramatically.
When I pulled up the blankets around myself, I sighed and recounted all the events that have happened since I got here. To be honest, it wasn't that much, but it seemed like a lot. And the campers, demigods, have to train here. That means I'll have to start training tomorrow, I thought drowsily. My thoughts wanted to run on but my mind and body were tired. Before I could think together another sentence, sleep welcomed me to its empty world.
Sorry this chapter was a bit boring... Any more ideas for who her godly parent should be?
