ARTS AND CRAFTS.
Oh yeah, one more thing that that happened at dinner, the activities director, Tantalus, had announced a chariot race and everyone had been preparing for it. I wasn't participating but I had some friends that were.I had only been at camp for about three days and already had tons of friends, including Annabeth and Will, but I never got a chance to talk to that guy with dark hair and sea green eyes.
One day I saw him in arts and crafts making what looked liked a Sylvester Stallone statue. I walked up to him hoping to make some small talk and possibly a new friend, and since I had a way with people(who knows how or why) I decided to try my luck.
" Hi, i'm Analise, nice Sylvester Stallone statue, um is he a demigod or something?" I asked because usually people made demigod related stuff in arts and crafts
"What, oh, its not supposed to be a Sylvester Stallone statue, its supposed to be a marble bust of Poseidon." he replied blushing
" Well that's okay, mine isn't good either" I said pointing to a mini model of camp complete with the woods and everything
He sighed and hung his head
Realizing my mistake I said " Actually, never mind don't look"
" I'm Percy Jackson" he said finally
Something clicked in my mind, stories i'd heard in the Hermes cabin" Son of Poseidon, you found Zeus master bolt last summer"
" Do I know you?" he asked slowly inching away
"No, its just that there's a lot of talk about you in the Hermes cabin"
" Oh is there talk about anything else?" he asked
There was, stuff about this guy Luke and how he used to be a son of Hermes and how he had turned evil last summer and tried to kill Percy," No." I lied
I glanced at the clock and realized it was time to go to archery.
" Well nice talking to you Percy, with work that statue could look like Poseidon" I said walking towards the door
He looked doubtful but smiled and said" Nice talking to you too"
As I walked out the door I knew I had just made another friend. See told you I had a way with people.
