Hello Everyone! Welcome back to the eighth chapter.

A/N: I decided that I would change Annabeth back into a girl, so don't mind the chapters before this when I saw that she's a boy, because I don't have the time to edit the other chapters. Also wanted to say sorry for all of the grammar mistakes, I usually write these chapters when I'm half asleep during crackhead hours. Yay, 3k words!

Chapter 8: Jealousy and Harassment

When I woke up, I noticed that I was the only person awake. I grabbed my bag filled with my belongings, before heading out to the girls bathroom.

The showers in the girls' restroom were lined on a wall, with only curtains separating them. I walked into one of the showers, and then put my bag on a shelf. I pulled out my soap, shampoo and conditioner, before putting them out on the shelf as well.

I undressed, before turning the water on. When the water made contact with me, I cursed before turning it towards the hot option. I started to scrub my body, when I heard the curtain next to mine get pulled open! I snapped my head to the right where I saw Annabeth's face peeking through.

I stopped scrubbing my body, and then asked, "What are you doing Annabeth?"

She went to say something, but she looked at my chest and then gasped. She glared at me, and asked, "So those are how you've been getting every guy in camp, huh?"

I smirked before saying, "It's not my fault you're flat and I'm not ."

Her glare hardened before saying, "It's perfectly alright for 12 year old girls to not have big breasts."

I rolled my eyes before asking, "Can you get out of my shower stall now? If you're in here when everyone comes in to shower, they'll get the wrong idea."

She blushed before going back to her own shower stall. I finished my shower, and then took out my towel to dry myself.

I put on a pair of black shorts, with an orange Camp Half-blood shirt that Luke gave me. I put on my socks, before putting on a pair of black sneakers. I stepped out of the stall, and then walked over to the sink. I brushed my teeth, put on some deodorant, and then brushed my hair. I started to put on lotion.

I turned around when I heard the door to the bathroom open. I saw that it was just Clarisse. I smiled and said, "Good Morning Clarisse!" She just grunted at me before entering one of the shower stalls. Well, she seems friendly, I thought.

I gathered my stuff and then made my way to the Hermes Cabin. I walked in, and set my bag down in the corner. I looked at the floorboards of the cabin, and noticed that one of them was loose. I crouched down and started to wiggle it off. It finally came off, and I realised that I could hide my stuff in there.

I grabbed all of my belongings, and stuffed them in the compartment. I looked around, and noticed that there were only a few people still in here, so I just got up from the floor, and walked outside to find Luke.

I found him at the arena, and walked up to him. He was taking a break from sword fighting, and was leaning against the wall. When he saw me coming, he smiled before saying, "Good Morning Sephie. What did you need?"

I replied, "I wanted to know what the schedule was for the cabin. I would've asked someone from the cabin, but the few that were in there were asleep."

He chuckled before saying, "The Hermes cabin has free time in the morning, breakfast, one morning activity such as canoeing, or arts and crafts, combat practice, then lunch, then we have ancient greek lessons with the Athena cabin, then archery with Chiron, foot racing with the nymphs, then rock climbing, and then finally dinner. After that we have the camp-fire and then we all head to our cabins for bed."

I nodded before walking off towards the beach. I sat on the sand, and started to trace shapes in the sand. I heard someone walking up to me, so I turned around and saw Theseus. I smiled before saying. "Good morning Theseus!"

He smiled back and said, "Hi Sephie, I looked for you at the Hermes cabin but you weren't there."

I just nodded and then continued to trace shapes into the sand. He sat down next to me, and then I asked, "Is Annabeth always harsh towards the newcomers?"

He looked at me curiously before answering, "Annabeth is actually nice when you get to know her, why do you ask?"

I told him about our conversation in the shower, and then he said, "So you didn't even bother to cover yourself when she came into your stall?"

I rolled my eyes before saying, "Out of all of that and you're only worried about that?"

He blushed before changing the subject, "Do you have any idea on who could be your godly parent?"

I shook my head and said, "I've only been here, conscious, for a day, so I haven't had anytime to see if I was good at anything."

He was about to say something else, but the conch horn for breakfast was heard, and we both got up and said our goodbyes before making our way over to the dining pavilion. I fell in line with the Hermes cabin, and we all made our way to the table.

I sadly got stuck on the end again, and half of my butt was hanging off the bench again. I waited for my food to come before sacrificing some of the bacon and eggs, before sitting down at the table again. I talked to the girl across from me, she, Lily, was the daughter of the minor goddess Rhode, but had to stay in the Hermes cabin because the camp didn't have cabins for the minor gods and goddesses. She almost looked like me, except her eyes were an ocean blue color.

Breakfast was finally over, so I made my way towards the arts and crafts building. When I walked through the door, I noticed that there were only a few other kids, most of them probably from the Aphrodite cabin. I sat down at a table in the back, and grabbed a blank canvas, some paints, and started to stroke my paint brush back and forth.

About 30 minutes went by, and when I looked closely at my painting I saw that it was the ocean. I started to wonder why I painted the ocean, but I just gave up and shrugged my shoulders. Several people, mostly guys, waved me over to their tables, but I just smiled and shook my head. I know what you guys are thinking, They're just trying to be your friend Sephie, why are you pushing them away? Well, I didn't necessarily like human interaction. Going to talk to Luke was already pushing it.

I went to the sword fighting arena. I grabbed several swords, trying to find which one fit me the best. I finally decided on one that was a little too heavy for my liking, but it would do for now.

Luke walked up to the front and said, "Today we are going to be learning the basics of sword fighting. Pair up!"

I looked around for Lily, and found her walking towards me. She smiled at me and said, "Let's spar!" I was about to tell her that I didn't know how, but she just charged me! Uh oh, I thought.

She slashed at my side, and I brought up my sword and blocked it. I stabbed swung my sword sideways towards her side, and when she went to block it, I swept her legs out from under her. I crouch down and put my sword under her neck,
Yield?" She nodded, wide eyed that I beat her that easily.

I helped her up and then Luke came to the front of the class and said, "Now we are going to learn a disarming technique. Don't be discouraged if you can't do the technique the first try. It is really hard for even the best of swordsmen. Pair up with someone different this time!"

I looked around, and stayed in the back because my social anxiety couldn't handle talking to other people. Everyone already had someone as their partner, so I had to be with Luke. I slowly walked to the middle where Luke was at, and bit my lip nervously. He smiled at me and said, "Watch how I do it."

He stepped forward and put his sword at the base of my sword. He twisted and did a downward thrust. Sure enough, my blade went clattering out of my hand. He handed me my sword and then said, "Begin!"

He charged me and I took everything in me to block each of his strikes. He slashed, thrust, and jabbed at me with his sword. I finally saw an opening, so I hit the base of his sword, and twisted with a downward thrust. His sword came falling out of his hand and I up my sword to his throat. "I win!" Everyone clapped, and then the conch horn blew.

It was time to go to Lunch, but I wasn't really hungry so I just sacrificed all of my food, and sat at the end of the table, talking to Lily about random things. Luke was sitting next to me, and he put his arm around me and said, "You know, Sephie is such a pretty name for someone as pretty as you."

I was disgusted at his attempt at flirting, one because he was seven years older than I was, and two because I barely even knew him. I moved his arm off of me, and said, "Flattery isn't gonna get you anywhere with me." He looked at me in disbelief, like he couldn't fathom a girl rejecting his advances.

Lunch was finally over after a few minutes, so I walked to the Athena cabin with Lily for ancient greek lessons. We knocked on the cabin door, and Annabeth opened it and said, "I'll be ready for lessons in few minutes at the dock."

We both nodded and made our way to the dock. When we got there, I turned to Lily and asked, "Do you have control over water?"

She nodded and asked, "Wanna see?" I nodded and she looked towards the ocean before a small tendril of water came out and started to swirl around in mid air. When she put it back in the water, she turned back to me and said, "Pretty cool, huh?"

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I hope I'm the daughter of a minor sea god." She laughed and then started to show tricks with her water abilities.

Annabeth finally came after a while, and started to teach us on the basics of ancient greek. She was teaching us basic phrases, and when she handed us books in ancient greek, she smiled deviously at me and said, "I want you both to read this by next week. Lesson dismissed." She giggles and walked off, and when her back was turned I flipped her off.

Lily laughed and said, "I was about to do the same thing. Let's go put these in the cabin and then go to archery."

We put our books away, and then went to archery class. Chiron smiled at everyone as they walked in, and then had everyone grab a bow and quiver. He moved to the front of the group of people, and then demonstrated how to hold a bow, and how to put the quiver on your shoulder.

We all copied him, and then he demonstrated how to pull back the bow. We all copied his movements, and then he moved out of the way. He corrected everyone's stance before letting them fire. When I went to release my arrow, it felt like everything slowed around me. I took a deep breath before exhaling and releasing the arrow. I watched it go all the way to the target before embedding itself in the red ring next to the bullseye.

I gasped, and Chiron's eyes widened before he looked at me and then clapped, "You're a natural, Sephie." I just smiled and continued to shoot arrows into the red ring.

When archery was over, I went to foot-racing with the nymphs. I was excited for this one because I did track at Yancy Academy. When they told us to start running, I came in 3rd place, out of the 20 kids that were with me. The nymph behind me was wide eyed before she smiled and congratulated me.

The hardest class for me was rock climbing, because every time I would go to start climbing, I felt Luke trying to 'help' me up. I say help like that because he was just getting an excuse to touch my ass. (A/N: *Gasp* How could I do that. I'm such a sinner. *Cue the tomato throwing*)

After everyone finished dinner, Chiron stomped his hoof on the ground to gain everyone's attention. When everyone got quiet, he said, "Tomorrow is our weekly capture the flag game. Start planning!"

Everyone cheers, but none were louder than the Ares cabin. I turned to Lily and asked, "What's the big deal about capture the flag?"

She laughed and said, "It's basically the same as mortals play it, but we use weapons and magic items." I nodded in response, and just sat in silence, listening to other people's conversations.

~~~~Time Skip - The Next Day~~~~

We were all in the pavilion, waiting for Chiron to bring out the armor, when the Athena and Ares cabin came in holding banners of their parent's symbol. Athena's flag was a grey owl, while Ares' flag was a bloody spear and a boars head.

Chiron stomped his hoof on the ground, and then said, "Hero's! We will start the game once everyone has their armor on." He motioned for Mr. D to do something, and he rolled his eyes before snapping his fingers. To my surprise, armor of different sizes appeared on several tables.

Lily handed me a set of armor and then helped me put it on. I grabbed a spare helmet with a blue plume, and then headed off to the forest with the rest of the blue team. We all crowded around Annabeth, waiting for her to give the battle plans.

~~~~Time Skip - At the creek~~~~

I was waiting at the creek with my sword at me side. I heard a rustling in the bushes next to me, and when I turned to see who it was, Clarisse and some of her siblings came out.

My eyes widened, and I back up in preparation for a fight. Clarisse stepped forward and said, "I came here for a rematch. After this, maybe we can be friends."

I nodded and waited for her to attack. She raised her spear and charged me with a battle cry. I waited until the last minute, before crouching and making her trip over me.

She got up and charged again, but this time I met her half way. When she was close enough, I baseball slid between her legs, and slashed at her back. She grunted in pain, and then threw her leg back to kick me. I caught her leg and pulled with all of my might.

She lost her balance, and fell face first onto the ground. We both got up at the same time and aimed at each other's chest. We shook hands and said, "Tie!"

A moment later, the horn to signal the end of the game. When I turned around to look for my teammates, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and when I looked down, I saw a sword sticking out! I started to gasp for breath and grabbed my sword in disbelief. I felt it getting pulled out and I fell into the creek, crying from the pain. I felt the wound closing up, and soon it was just a throbbing ache.

I slowly stood up with the help of Clarisse, who knocked out her brother for me, and I looked up and saw a glowing trident floating above my head. Chiron galloped into the clearing and gasped. He got a grim look on his face and said, "It has been confirmed. Lord Poseidon, God of the Sea, Earth Shaker, Stormbringer, and Father of horses. Hail Persephone Jackson, daughter of the Sea God.

I smiled at him and then said, "That shit hurted." After that, I collapsed into Clarisse's arms, and the world went black.

Hope you enjoyed the long awaited eighth chapter! I know it took a while to update this story, but I just got bored. I also was debating whether or not to delete this story and just continue on with my other story and one-shots, but I didn't think it wouldn't be fair for the several people that favorited and followed this story. I also just wanted to say thank you to all of you people that read and support this story, because at school literally nobody likes me. Like, I'm pretty sure my friends are just plotting my downfall right now as I type this. Somebody please send at least one friend that isn't fake!

Future Potato here: I updated the end of this chapter due to some well-appreciated feedback. I also am rushing things a little because I want to get the characters on the quest already. Bye!

Start - 1/20 Finish 1/20
