Capture the flag
This week's winners were the Ares, Athena, and Poseidon cabin (blue team, by Percy's request). Clarisse detested the idea of having to work with Percy, but since him and Annabeth are a package deal, she had to suck it up. Annabeth and Percy, the package deal, decided to lead a freaking crowd into enemy lines. It was half of the Ares cabin and half of the Athena cabin. Their enemies were all like, "Hey, this is a distraction! Let's capture their flag!" The blue team saw this coming; when the opponents charged, the blue team whizzed arrows at them, threw daggers, and battled quickly with swords. Everyone on the other team was put into jail right before the rest of the blue team crossed the line with the flag. They won by default, and they captured a flag.
Summer interview
For this week's interview, we interviewed Will Solace who is my boyfriend!
Jazzy- So, Will, how's it going?
Will- Jazzy, you need to stop twirling your hair.
Jazzy- Why?
Will- C-can we just get to th-the interview?
Jazzy- Fine, whatever you want dear.
Will looks like he's uncomfortable.
Jazzy- What were you doing outside of my cabin during the sleepover?
Will- Whatever do you mean, h-honey bear?
Jazzy- You guys are so stupid. We didn't realize you were there until we heard Percy. I quickly wrote terrible things on a piece of paper. Katie said Travis really isn't that bad. Annabeth wasn't lying though.
Will has turned red with a blush.
Will- Jazzy, are we almost done?
Jazzy- Answer my question first.
Will- It was all Percy and Nico's idea. They said that we should go spy on you. Nico was curious about a girl's sleepover; Percy wanted to actually spy. I was with them and the Stolls anyways, so I agreed. I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Can you ever forgive me?
He was kneeling for forgiveness.
Jazzy- I'll think about it after a nice foot-rub from you.
He was forgiven… after a foot-rub… or two.
Embarrassing moments
It was the morning after the slumber party; at the slumber party, Alyssa told us some weird information. Annabeth and I, since we're the best of pals and love to torture people, decided to use this tidbit of information to our advantage. I said I would give her ten drachmas if she went up to Nico and asked, "How was Alyssa?" She did, and Nico was humiliated.
Chiron and his special friend time thing is getting out of control. While Will was giving me my second foot-rub, we had an unplanned war council meeting. If you've ever been interviewed, you would know that we use the recreation room as the place to be interviewed. Well, Will was kissing my foot, which were clean thank the gods for him, while massaging my foot. I was giggling because it tickled and I said while giggling, "Will stop it," and squealed. Chiron was right outside the closed door with everyone else and announced, "They're having special friend time."
Annabeth was being polite to the girl in front of her. She was trying to get around her because she did not want to stop and talk to someone in line for giving an offering to the gods. See, the girl had just given an offering in the brazier and was walking back to her table. Annabeth was right behind her. The girl then saw one of her friends in line and stopped to chat. Annabeth was saying, "Excuse me," multiple times, but the girl did not move. After yelling 'excuse me' four times, she shouted, "MOVE!" The girl did not budge. Annabeth yanked the girl's hair and pulled her down onto the ground. Annabeth then delicately stepped over her. "Thank you." Annabeth whispered.
Clarisse was impatient as usual. I was getting ready for the sleepover and fixing everything when the door was knocked on three times. I went to open the door when a fist impaled it. I screamed and fainted in fright. Candy moved me out of the doorway and opened it; Clarisse was standing there with a balled fist. I fainted! It was so embarrassing!

Announcements
Is there any volunteers to walk into Percy's cabin to inspect its cleanliness? The only one we have is Annabeth, and Chiron doesn't want there to be TOO much 'special friend time' (wink, wink). We need a male more specifically. I think Connor should, personally.
Mrs. O'Leary is still being treated for heartworms. Next time you make an offering to the gods, ask Hades and Apollo to make her feel better. It feels like something in camp is missing.
Everyone knows the orphanage down the street right? Well, I went there to visit some of the kids (out of the kindness of my own hear), and I discovered that they need clothes. I would really like for anyone to donate whatever they can't wear to there. There's a box for donations in the Big House so just go there. I'll deliver them and talk to me if you want to go help deliver them.
Have a good week!
