Okay, so I'm trying to finish what I start. Here we go.
What can I say? I was as awkward as I was confused at camp. After failing to have a decent conversation with people, I just stopped trying. Sure, this lead to people giving me a lot of flak, but who cares? My plan was to leave camp anyway, in fact, I was almost at the border when someone said, "You're weak. You know that?"
I turned around and there was Vivian, leaning against a tree. "What would you know about weak? You're too strong to know weakness."
Her eyes flickered a faint red. "Don't even go there, kid. I know weakness better than most people. You think you have it hard? Try what I go through. Believe me when I say you have a cake walk."
My face flushed bright red. The girl pushed me down on the grass, calling me names like "slut" and "whore". Her brother then came up from behind me, held my chest tightly—so tight. I couldn't even breathe as she began to attack me. punching, kicking—the girl even bit the soft tissue on my shoulder. The scar from her marks still remain. "Don't you dare tell me I have a cake walk when you don't even know me. I have been through enough to know that I don't want to be here. Especially with those Aphrodite wannabe Victoria's Secret Angels."
"Explain yourself." She commanded, walking slowly to me. "Now."
I thought really hard about telling Vivian about it. I kinda owed her that much, right? She helped me out in the bathroom. Then I realized she was right. I am a coward, because I couldn't even explain it.
I was walking to the beach, trying to grasp my mind around everything that happened, still a bit shaken. I wouldn't be here if I didn't belong. This was who I was… right? No, no one is born half Greek god… I turned my attention to a group of squealing girls, splashing each other with water. Was that really—no. it couldn't be her. But it was. Drew. I felt my heart fill with raw, fierce rage, ready to rip that pretty little gossip girl's hair out. Only would an Aphrodite would bite someone in the middle of a fight.
Small chapter, but it will take me a while to get the story up and on a roll again :)
