I woke up to a pillow smack to the head from Percy.

"What the hell was that for?" I said, pushing the pillow to the side.

"It's time to get up. Today is your first real day at camp so be excited. I'll get your schedule for the day at breakfast. You have about thirty minutes to get ready."

I rolled over and sighed "Fine… Wait, where's James?"

"I sent him back to his cabin a little while ago."

"Why didn't you wake me up then?"

"I was going to but he made me wait 'til he left."

"Hmm…" He must still be mad at me for asking him about his scars I thought as I walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

I was ready to go in ten minutes while Percy took forever trying to find a clean shirt. I looked down at my orange t-shirt and even though I hated orange, I liked this shirt. It made me feel like I was part of something. While I was lost in thought, Percy managed to find a shirt and put it on.

"Hey. Are you ready to go?" He asked me.

"Yeah, been ready for like twenty minutes." I said finally pulling myself from my head.

"Then let's go." He led the way out of the cabin and I followed him to the Dining Pavilion. I sat down at the Poseidon table and Percy said he'd be right back.

I asked the plate for blueberry pancakes with blueberry syrup with some orange. I took a pancake and put in the fire and I wished that dad if he was listening to help me find my birth mom. I don't know why I wished for that, I guess I just wanted to know who she is and what kind of person she is.

I had finished my second pancake when Percy came back and handed me two sheets of paper. "These are your camp schedule and a map so you don't get lost. It looks like you have me first in the morning for sword fighting." I looked at my schedule.

"Well this is definitely not an ordinary summer camp. That's for sure." I replied to Percy.

"That's true but what did you expect this is a camp for demigods."

I shrugged and ate the last of my pancakes. I looked at Percy's plate which was full of blue food. "What's with the blue food?"

"It reminds me of my mom. She used to bring home blue food to prove Smelly Gabe wrong that there is blue food. It kind of became our thing."

"Smelly Gabe?" I asked.

"My mom's ex-boyfriend"

I nodded and looked around at everyone a lot of people were staring and others were ignoring me.

"That's getting annoying." I mumbled as Chiron came into the pavilion and announced today's special activities which included capture the flag tonight.

"And we have two new members among us today. Would they please stand up and introduce themselves." James and I stood.

James introduced himself first "Hello, My name is James Brooks from Florida and I'm an Apollo kid. I'm excited to be here." He sat down and now I was the only one standing.

"I'm Blaise Thompson and I'm also from Florida. I'm a Poseidon kid." I said confidently.

As I sat down whispers erupted from the tables. Percy smiled half-heartedly trying to make me feel better. I knew today was going to be a rough day.

"Enough! Time to head to your Activities." Chiron announced. Everyone got up and dispersed to head to their activities.

I followed Percy to a place labelled as Armory on the map. "Ok, we need to fit you for some armor and borrow some for today." Percy explained to me. Oh great, what could I possibly need armor for? I nodded.

A Hephaestus girl, who looked a lot younger than me came and sized me for armor and gave me some to borrow for today. She told me to come by during my free time and pick my armor before capture the flag. She helped me put on the armor which was really heavy. "Don't worry your armor will be much lighter." I walked back outside where Percy was waiting.

"Ready?" I looked at him skeptically. "Oh, you'll be fine. Sword fighting comes natural to Poseidon kids."

I sighed. "I hope so"

We walked into the arena. A really buff girl was explaining basics to the rest of campers that were already there.

"You're lucky you came at the beginning of the summer or you'd be seriously behind." Percy whispered to me.

The girl turned towards us. "It's about time you showed up, Jackson! Is this the new meat?"

"Yeah!" Percy yelled across the arena. "That's Clarisse. She can be a bit of a bully so watch out." He whispered to me.

"I think I can handle her." I said a little too loudly.

"What was that fresh meat? You think you can take me?" Clarisse looked pissed.

"Yeah, I think I can." I shouted back at her.

She tossed me a sword. It was a little too heavy. "Show me."

I walked toward her side of the arena. I hated people who thought they could bully anyone less experienced than them. I jabbed the sword toward her. She pushed it out of the way and hit my head with the butt of the blade and I fell to the ground.

Percy rushes forward to pick me up. "Clarisse that was uncalled for!" My head was spinning.

"She's the one who wanted to fight."

Before Percy could get to me I got up and attacked her again. She was surprised but recovered and sliced open my cheek. I saw what she did and used the same technique on her and sliced open her arm.

"You little-" She didn't finish because I attacked again but she had learned from her mistake and cut me again and again. I started to feel tired and she backed me into a corner. She hit me with the butt of the sword again and sent me flying back into a water cooler which dumped on me.

As soon as the water hit me, I instantly felt better. The wounds on my cheeks and arms closed up and stopped bleeding. The campers in the arena stared at me in awe as they watched my cuts close up. Percy looked shocked and surprisingly upset. I got up and the sword started to feel more natural in my hand. I attacked with more force and was even able to block quite a few of her attacks

"Alright that's enough!" Percy yelled at us. "Time's up. Time for everyone's next activity." Had we really been fighting for that long? I sat down for a few seconds. Clarisse pats me on the back.

"Nice moves newbie." She smirked and walked away to get ready for the next group.

Percy walks over "You truly are a Poseidon Kid. I couldn't believe it until now." He sat down next to me.

"Didn't Chiron tell you I am."

"We thought it might be some mistake but apparently not." Percy said. I was mad now.

"Really? I'm a mistaken Poseidon kid. Figures my own mother didn't want so why would people I don't even know want me here!" I shouted at him.

"I didn't mean it that way. I was supposed to be the only one. My mom is the only one my father said he loved and I wasn't even supposed to be born due to some ancient rules. We just didn't think it was possible for another Poseidon kid to exist." He explained which calmed me down slightly.

"Well I do and have been for 17 years in August." I informed him.

"Wait, your birthday is in August? What day?"

"The 18th" I answered.

"No way, it can't be." He sounded confused.

"I'm getting real tired of that phrase."

"It's just that, mine is the same day." He explained.

"Could we be…" I started.

"Twins?" He finished my sentence. "We need to talk to Chiron about this but later. Ok?"

"Ok" I left to go to my next activity, Archery with, guess who? Chiron. YAY!
