3 weeks later...
Silena's pov
"Hey, Silena!" Someone said. I turned around to find Leo running towards me.
"Hey, Leo! What's up?" I asked.
"The girl I wanted to go camping with can't come!" Leo said. Anger boiled inside of me. It was literally one hour till we left for the camp site.
"Why didn't you tell me this before!" I yelled at him.
"Because I just found out!" He shot back. I took a deep breath.
"Ok, I'll just move somethings around. I'll call the camp. Now, go pack!" Leo scurried away. Ugh! I wish he would have to told me sooner! Who's going to fill in now?
"Hey, Silena!" I heard Thalia say. Oh! I got a idea!
"Hey, Thalia! Remember how you weren't really paired up with anyone for the camping trip?" I said.
"Yeah! What about it?" She asked with caution.
"I found someone!"
Percy's pov
Camping. Freaking camping. Why me?
I have nothing wrong with the outdoors or anything! But when your friends force you to skip school for a camping trip with you ex girlfriend, you wouldn't be happy either. Ugh, I'll just have to deal with it!
"Hello, everyone! Welcome to Camp Half-Blood/Jupiter!" The man said. We were in an outdoor auditorium of some sort. I got to admit, this is the best camping site I've ever seen!
"My name is Chiron and this is my co-partner, Lupa! For are recent merger of the two camps, Half-Blood and Jupiter, we are here to present to you, Love Week!" Chiron announced. I looked over at my friends, who had a worried smile's on their face.
"Whoops! I had no idea that this was Love Week!" Thalia said with fake innocence.
"You-" Annabeth started, but was interrupted by Lupa.
"This week, you will be put in a group of people! In that group, there will be pairs. Your partner is the one that you will be with for the next seven days!" Lupa explained.
"Seven days!" Annabeth yelled. My friends laughed nervously.
"You will be doing challenges together! You will have to get used to your partner! Learn to love each other even if your relationship started out with hate! Remember, there is a fine line between love and hate! This will be a great leaner experiencing for you all! You'll learn more about yourself and your friends!The woods has a way of doing that!"
"That's not even the best part! These challenges are apart of a competition! Your group will have to fight the rest for a grand prize!" Chiron continued.
"What's the prize?" Someone shouted.
"I'll let someone else tell you!" Chiron said. The curtains shuffled a bit. Then, a person exited from them. They stepped into the light.
"Oh my gods!" Silena and Piper said.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Aphrodite!" The woman introduced herself.
"Wait, isn't that Silena and Piper's mom?" I asked Jason.
"Yep." He confirmed. I turned back to Aphrodite again.
"I am on they Olympian council, which is made up of the most powerful people in the world! I own the most successful motel agency, my own chain of stores, and was the one who gave my dear friends Lupa and Chiron this idea!
"I will gladly say the prize is to go to the opening showcase of my new line in the spring! And to go to the grand after party with all the Olympians and the greatest stars in the world! Not to mention, you will be wearing my designs! And you will be able to take them home!" Everyone cheered at the wonderful prize.
"One more thing before I go," Aphrodite started, "It seems that my two daughters, Silena and Piper, and there friends to celebrate us! Please stand up! All of you!"
I looked over at Silena and Piper who shrugged and stood up. Everyone followed after them. The crowd roared. I heard people saying, "I hope one of them is in my group!", or, "Wow, they are sure lucky!"
"Thank you! You may sit!" Aphrodite said, "Now, I hope you enjoy your week everyone! I also request an audience with my daughters and their friends after this dismissal!" Then, Aphrodite walked off the stage and into a cabin.
Chiron and Lupa told us more about the camp. They told us what are groups would be and how we wold be assigned to a guide. A girl named Reyna was assigned to us, apparently she was Aphrodite's favorite guide. Then, we were dismissed, but first, we had to see Aphrodite.
"Hello, children!" Aphrodite greeted. She hugged her two daughters.
"Hey, Mom. These are our friends. Percy, Annabeth, Travis, Connor, Beck, Bianca, Nico, Hazel, Frank, Will, Katie, Jason, Leo, and Thalia!" Piper introduced us.
"It's nice to meet all of you! And it's nice to see you Beck!" Aphrodite said. Beck waved at her.
"Anyways, I have set everything up for you guys! You guys will be sleeping in one of the best cabins, named after me, and have the best councilor! I want this to be a wonderful experience for you! I did everything that will make this the best camping trip ever! I wish you good luck and have all faith in your group that you will win the competitions!" Aphrodite dismissed us to are cabin after some catching up with her daughter's.
Once we arrived, Reyna was sitting outside the cabin.
"Hello, everyone. I guess I'll be your guide." She said. We got into the cabin.
Let me say, it was big. Very big! Aphrodite's cabin had a bit more pink then I would like, but otherwise it was good!
"This is the biggest and by far the most nicest. You and another person will be sharing a room. Only same sex in each room though." Reyna explained. We entered the living room.
It had a T.V above the fireplace and had couches surrounding it! The T.V had many game councils! It was Heaven! Games were stacked up against one wall, along with different types of movies! It even had a book shelf! When you look up, it was an open space. There was a little balcony above that led to different rooms!
The living room led into a kitchen! It was huge! My mom wold love the granite counter tops and the huge wooden table! The kitchen was already stocked with food! Gods, I love this place! The kitchen led to a bedroom, which was Reyna's room. It also led into a laundry room. The house included eight bedrooms upstairs for us!
We retreated back to the living room to find out the pairs and our roommates!
"Now, for the pairs and roommates," Reyna started, "The pairs will be Nico and Will, Beck and Silena, Travis and Katie, Piper and Jason, Thalia and Leo, Frank and Hazel, Connor and Bianca, and Percy and Annabeth." Wait, what?
"I'm paired up with her/him!" Annabeth and I said at the same time.
"Yep! Now moving on. The roommates will be Thalia and Piper, Hazel, and Bianca, Katie and Silena, Jason and Leo, Beck and Frank, Will and Nico, Connor and Travis, and- oh wait there seems to be a mix up. I'm sorry, but Annabeth and Percy, you will have to room together. There is an odd number of girls and boys and the group." Reyna said.
My jaw dropped open! You got to be kidding with me! Annabeth hates me! She's going to torture me for the next week!
"Are you serious? I can't room with him and be partners with him!" Annabeth exclaimed.
"Yeah! Annabeth will annoy me to death!" I added. Annabeth glared at me.
"Annoy you? Puh-lease! You'll annoy me so much I might have to kill you!" Annabeth shot at me.
"Well, at least you can put me out of my misery!" I retorted.
" Not if I kill myself first! Or maybe your stinky socks will put me out of my misery!"
"Not before one of your books falls and splits you head open!"
"Oh, don't worry! The books will be occupied with killing you!"
"What are they going to do? Bore me to death?"
"You little-"
"STOP FIGHTING!" Thalia shouted. "I'm so sick and tired of you guys insulting each other! It's like high school all over again!"
"Yeah! You guys used to be the best of friends! What happened to that?" Jason added.
"I remember you used to tell me about Annabeth every single day! Now, you just complain!" Nico joined in.
"You guys spend all your time fighting and insulting each other! It's quite annoying!" Piper pointed out.
"Yeah! Your arguing makes it hard to have fun any more!" Travis and Connor chorused.
"It's not right! You guys suck the fun out of everything!" Katie put in.
"Yeah, this is not a healthy relationship!" Will added.
"It's not cool!" Beck piped in. Even he said something!
"Are group is a divided! It's not good for you guys to fight!" Hazel stated.
"I just got here, but even I'm getting annoyed!" Frank admit.
"What happened to your friendship? The love?" Bianca asked.
"I don't like seeing you guys like this. I don't like seeing my friends, my family, fight!" Leo added, serious for once.
"What happened to you guys? You used to love each other? Annabeth, you used to tell me everyday how much you loved being with Percy! And all the sweet things he did! Percy, you used to ask me for dating advice! What flowers to buy her, jewelry to give, the perfect dates! But now you just complain! What happened?" Silena said.
Every ones eyes were filled with hurt. They were avoiding eye contact. Only Silena looked at us. Her face filled with worry and a bit of anger. Her eyes filled with loss and concern.
I looked away. I ran upstairs and into the room that I was staying in. My bag was already there. I flopped on my bed and let the tears fall.
An hour later, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it up. Annabeth.
"Hey." She said. I let her in and shut the door behind her. I sat on the edge of my bed. Annabeth sat beside me.
"They're right." I admit.
"I know." She agreed. We sat in silence for a few minutes. Then, I broke it.
"Ugh! I wish we never fought!" I exclaimed.
"Same here. I never realized what effect are break up had on our friends! I never realized we hurt them so much!" Annabeth said.
"We need to make this right!" I stated.
"But it's not like I can easily forgive you and get back together! I'm just not ready for that."
"Then, we will try to be nice. No more yelling and fighting each other. No more. It's not about us. It's about are friends!" I said.
"Then, that's what will do." We shook hands.
