Hey guys, sorry for the huge gaps between the updates. I'm so busy, and I'm not even living in my house, so updating everything is difficult. But, don't worry. I'm off for two weeks, so I'll have plenty of updates for you!
Annabeth
I pursed my lips as the pink piece of paper floated down into my table. I didn't know what to make of this compulsory dance, I already had a boyfriend, of course. Percy and I had been dating for years, we were even in college together. But of course he was still oblivious to every hint I threw at him. Sure, he was hopeless in an endearing way, but it could be very trying sometimes. I mean, I'd been hinting at him for weeks to suggest moving into an apartment together.
Nothing major, just a six month lease. We would even have to buy the place, just share the rent. We were going to leave college in a few months, and we would need somewhere to stay. Of course we could move in with Sally but it wouldn't be the same. She was great, but I was really looking forward to having some alone time when we left college. I mean, we still live in separate dorms, and we are never in classes together. So, I was seriously hoping to maybe get a little apartment until we've got enough money to move. I knew we needed jobs first, but I already had an apprenticeships lined up, and Percy was already going to interviews. But first Percy had to ask!
I sighed as I watched Percy leave the pavilion and began circling my answers. As I handed the test in I pursed my lips, hoping maybe he'd get the hint.
Thalia
I collapsed onto my sleeping bag, and sighed. It had been a very long day. Lady Artmeis kept shoving more and more responsibilities on me. I knew I was her Lieutenant, but enough was enough! Today I had to teach two new girls how to use a weapon. It had taken forever for them to pick the weapons they wanted, in addition to the bow of course. They had no idea what most of the weapons were called or did, so I had to explain almost everything. It had then taken all afternoon to teach them to use the bows and arrows and the dagger and sword they had chosen. After one cut the other, then passed out at the sight of blood, I decided to call it a day.
When I got back to my tent it was about ten o'clock. Too late to be wandering around camp, but too early for me to fall asleep. So, I'd searched around in my backpack looking for something to pass the time. I soon found a drachma in my bag, and was contemplating who to IM. Annabeth? Wouldn't she be in college. Percy? same reason. Nico? I silently wondered. It had been ages since I'd spoken to him. We'd been almost inseparable when I'd been in camp on a break. But of course, it was forbidden both by Artmeis and our fathers. I was not allowed to speak to any boys, without raising suspicion. But he was the only one who was around about my age, the only one who understood. I mean, he'd been trapped in time too, he should have been old and grey by now. He also lost a sibling, and his mortal parent. Everyone else I'd ever met at camp was gone now. In college, some even had jobs and kids. He was the only one who was also 15. I could still remember him, the little scared 10 year old we'd rescued.
I sighed loudly. I didn't know what to do. I just wanted to talk to someone. I felt so alone, sometimes. With a sigh, I tossed the drachma into the air and murmured 'Annabeth'.
Reyna
I stood up silently, and left the dining hall. I was getting fed up of the 'happy campers'. None of them spoke to me. They all laughed and joked, but never invited me to join in the fun. No-one had, since I'd been put in charge. Except Jason, who understood. I guess we could have got together eventually. But, then of course he disappeared. Typical. I was alone again. He returned a few weeks ago, with a girl called Piper. I think they were on the verge of dating. But that didn't bother me, I was over him by then. They seemed happy either way, but I could tell Piper felt threatened by me. So, I avoided her and Jason whilst they were here. One of their friends, Leo, kept me company for the two weeks they were here.
He was sweet. A little childish, but he was great company. He could do this cool fire thing with his hand. I know as Praetor I shouldn't be impressed by knock-knock jokes and fingers like matches. But He was different. I just wished he could come back or maybe stay longer. I'd never met anyone who looked past my position. Actually saw me as a person, not a leader. But, Leo did.
It was great, whilst he was at camp. At first I was a little cold with him, I mean, he was a clumsy Greek boy, who had just stumbled off a ship. He nearly set himself on fire, and the crew. But, when I got to know him I found out that he had a heart of gold. He was interesting. It was so impressive, how he and his siblings had built the Argo II. I soon warmed to him though, we were almost inseparable by the end of his stay.
Selena
I smiled, as I watched the campers in front of me fill out their forms. I would finally get my chance to pair up the couples I wanted to. The dance was going to be amazing. It would be so romantic. When Chiron had agreed my siblings and I had been thrilled! We had all already planned our outfits, makeup and accessories, and even our dates! Of course, being the cabin in charde would have it's perks. I promised my brothers and sisters that we can rig the test, so we get to pick our own dates. This of course, went down brilliantly. But, there were a few of my sisters who were fighting over the same guy; Travis Stoll.
But, anyway! I had already planned what I would do to the dining pavilion.
The walls would be decorated with candles and paper lanterns and bunting, whilst the centre of the room would be clear, so people could dance. Tables set up around the edges of the room, and I had asked Travis to steal us a few drink fountains, which would be flowing with non-alchoholic drinks. I had requested a lot of different flowers from the Demeter cabin, making sure each girl had a different corsage to make her feel special. It was going to be brilliant!
And of course, I would get to spend the evening with Charlie, an added bonus. We didn't get a lot of time alone, especially since Chiron had brought in the new rule 'No two opposite gender campers can be alone in a cabin together' and there were always some campers hanging around in the romantic places, like the lake and beach. So, we had to make do with sitting together at the campfires and going to the same activities. Of course this wasn't enough! But, soon enough we'd get to spend a beautiful evening together. I smiled contently , as I reached for my own form, and began to circle my answers.
