Hi everyone! Hope you're hyped for this update! So Jordan's a Nike kid, which means he'll be in the Nike cabin instead of the Hermes cabin. Obviously, he's gonna make friends (and frenemies) with his new cabinmates. So now you know what's going on, let's get down to business!
Yours in demigodishness and all that,

14th August 2018,
Ok, I have the most normal news for a loooooooong time. I've made some new friends, and there's a new punk to watch out for! I now know who my mum was. (I still find this unbelievable) It's Nike, the goddess of victory. Aiden, one of the other Nike kids, showed me my new cabin. When I got there, the place was like an indoor sports hall, with some bunk beds in the corner as an afterthought. There were treadmills, cycling machines, basketball hoops, you name it. There was one wall filled with medals, trophies and plaques, no doubt each one belonging to our cabin. Oh, and one more thing, most of the stuff was made of gold. I saw one other boy bouncing a golden basketball and two other girls were having a heated American football match on a pitch with golden goals. Nike must be a serious kleptomaniac.
"There you have it!" Aiden said. "Your new home, for the summer." You're free to do what you like, just make sure you don't get pranked!" I thought getting to know my cabinmates would be a good start. I went over to the boy first. I don't think I hit it off with him though. This is how the conversation went: "Uuuh, hi."
"Hello, you the new kid?"
"Yup, and you are?"
"Silas, you're Jordan, right."
"That's me."
"Great, let me see you score then."
He handed me the golden basketball and pointed to the (golden, but I think I'll stop mentioning that now) hoop. Basketball isn't really my thing, so I wasn't surprised when the ball hit the backboard, bounced of the hoop a few times and just rolled off. Silas clearly didn't share my views, though. "Pfft!" He remarked, "You're a child of Nike and you can't even score a basket? Pathetic!" At that point I'd had enough of him. (as I said, new punk to destroy) I swore to myself that some day soon I was gonna thrash him 4-0 in a basketball game, and he wouldn't know what hit him. But for now, I just walked away.
I only hoped I'd get along better with the girls. I approached the American football pitch where the two girls were contesting. One of them came to me and chatted me up. "You had it rough with Silas there."
"Yup."
"Don't worry, he's a bit of a snooty arse sometimes, none of us really like him that much."
That was a relief because I was worried if I had made myself a big enemy for myself.
"Oh phew, thought I had messed up big time then," I replied.
"Come on, you can join our match. Hey, Aiden! Go with Lisa, I'll be with the new kid!"
"Sure thing Ariella."
That American football game was some great fun. We got 3 touchdowns each, and in the last 10 minutes, they were closing in for another shot. I saw Aiden throwing the ball to Lisa, if I could intercept it, the tides could turn. I leapt through the air, reaching out for the ball and sure enough, my hands met hard leather. I sensed an opportunity, and I lunged at it. I sprang off the pitch, did a front flip and threw the ball as hard as I could. It sailed through the goal hitting the back of the cabin with a satisfying THUD. All of the other Nike kids (except Silas) clapped in recognition of my skills.
"Sweet!" Ariella remarked, taking off her helmet. That was the moment I saw how beautiful she was. She had long blonde hair, tied back in a ponytail. Her blue eyes shimmered with the colour of sapphires, and I probably looked a bit stupid admiring her. I think I only managed to say a sort of
"Yuhh, toalleh." Lisa cut in with a "How'd you do that?" which kind of broke the spell.
"Well, I don't know exactly, I just sorta saw an opportunity and went for it."
In the background, we heard a conch horn blow.
"Dinner time, we can discuss tactics later." Ariella cut in.
So we had dinner, chatted amongst each other, and then crashed in our beds.
All I got now,
Jordan
Well there you are! We have four other Nike kids, Aiden, Silas, Lisa and Ariella. Also, sorry if I got any of the American football stuff wrong. One last note, now that Jordan's got used to his new life as a demigod, I probably won't update as much, but don't worry, I'll be doing other Fanfics too! I've already got an Idea for 2 more Fanfics so look out for those!
Yours In Demigodishness and secret late updates,
