Hey Guys! I'm back again with another chapter! Sorry it took me so long but I did say I only post weekends. All the reviews and PMs I'm receiving are very positive, tysm for that! Anyhoo, here are the shoutouts I promised!

First of all, thank you Horseriderqwerty for some brilliant ideas for camp activities! And thank you for the positive comment about my story, I really appreciate it : ) I will most definitely use them!

Another person gave a good recommendation as well, but was under the name Guest. If you see this, thank you very much and I think your idea was very creative!

Enough babbling, and happy reading!

-Percy POV-

We finally arrived at camp after an hour long bus ride. It wasn't too bad, as I got to sit beside Annabeth for most of it. Okay, so maybe I was developing a tinsy, winsy crush on her. Who am I kidding? Of course I like her goddamit. But I couldn't tell her that since we literally just met. I gotta keep my cool yano what I mean?

Anyway, we filed out of the bus and lined up to get our luggage (with the help of the pissed off bus driver, ha). I got mine out easily since it was only a small suitcase but Jason's girlfriend, Piper, on the other hand, wasn't so successful. Her suitcase was twice the size of mine and she had to drag it out since Jason was already holding two other bags and a rucksack. My eyes searched the crowd until I found Annabeth. She was standing at the entrance of the camp, and she seem to be looking at her surroundings. I picked my suitcase and started walking over to her but a familiar red-head suddenly appeared in front of me.

She places a hand on my chest (for the second time today) and looked up at me. I look back down at her and jerk my head up immediately, as I forgot she was wearing a plunging V-neck.

'Hey Percy.' she says seductively and biting her lip. Does she really think I'd fall for that? To be completely honest, she was quite pretty, but she wasn't Annabeth.

'Rachel.' I say abruptly. I look around and see Annabeth frowning. Oh gods she must think me and Rachel are a thing. I need to get out of here. Fast.

'Excuse me, but there is somewhere else I need to be.' I quickly walk away from her reach and power walk towards Annabeth. I finally reach her and I see she's try hard not to laugh.

'That was some show.' She says, grinning. I quickly glance back at Rachel, who has her arms crossed and glaring in my direction.

'You don't say.' I mutter. Annabeth lets out a laugh and I couldn't help but smile. Her long, curly hair looked amazing dangling form her high pony tail and her stormy grey eyes are intimidating, yet mesmerizing. Her smile is suddenly replaced with frown as she studies my suitcase.

'That's all you brought? You do realise we're staying for 2 weeks right?' she says.

'Yes I do, and I have more than enough with me.' I say matter-of-factly. I look at her suitcase which is one size bigger than mine and looks like it's about to bust.

'I see you packed for a long trip.' I say sarcastically. She glances at her own suitcase and blushes ever so slightly. She nudges my arm playfully and says, 'Oh, shut up, Have you met Piper?' and we both laugh.

'What's so funny?' asks a voice behind us.

We turn around to face a confused looking Piper, dragging her giant suitcase behind her and a frustrated Jason having trouble with multiple bags (I'm pretty sure only two of them or his). We and Annabeth look at each other and I break the silence by saying, 'Yeah Annabeth, what's so funny?'

'I don't know Percy, what is so funny?' she asks with a raised eyebrow. Piper groans behind us but is smiling all the same.

'Yous are even dating yet and yet you already argue like an old married couple. Cute.' Annabeth glares at her and was about to start another lecture when we were interrupted by Leo.

'Hey guys? We're going in now so I don't know if yous wanna come with us or anything, I'll just tell the camp director yous were making out or something, no biggie.' He winks.

'Coming!' I shout back. Annabeth sighs and rolls her eyes. 'I'll save my lecture till later then.' She looks at Piper but she shrugs it off and walks up to Jason who is currently trying to balance his phone on his head. Hmm, interesting stunt choice.

Annabeth sees him too and chuckles whilst rolling her eyes. 'Boys.' She says sarcastically.

'Girls.' I say, mocking her. She pushes me gently as we make our way to the marquee where everyone else is recruiting.

Few minutes later, a loud voice echoes throughout the marquee. All the campers quiet down and see a man shouting into a megaphone.

'Welcome to Half-Blood summer Camp kids!' The man shouts.

'He does realise we're all supposed to be seventeen, right?' says Annabeth beside me. I smile and turn my attention back to him.

'I'm Gleeson Hedge, and I will be leading all the camp activities, along with my fellow coaches. We have Molly.' a brunette in her twenties waved down at us and smiled.

'Brandon.'

A man in his twenties said a friendly 'Ello'

'And finally, Jenny and Luke.'

Jenny looked like the oldest one there, she had short, black hair and a friendly smile. I guessed she's in her thirties. Luke, however, was a totally different story.

He looked way younger, maybe eighteen, I wasn't sure. He had blonde hair and a small scar down the left side of his face. Other than that, he was also quite good looking, I could easily tell as all the girls at the front started jumping and waving at him. All he did was grin, as if he was amused.

'Alright, Alright! Everyone quiet down! The quicker we get this down, the quicker you'll get lunch!' Everyone shut up after that.

'Here at Half-Blood Summer Camp, we expect excellent behaviour and manners but we also like to have fun. All we ask from you is to listen to the coaches when we're talking and do as we say.' Hedge says in a serious tone. 'Got it?' There were a couple of 'Yeah's in the crowd.

'GOT IT?' he said louder this time. 'YES' we shouted back. He smiled and continued.

'Great, now we can sort out your cabins.' He coughed. 'We expect no funny business here at Half-Blood Summer Camp and so we trust you to behave when sharing cabins with boys and girls.'

There were a few excited murmurs here and there.

'Ahem. As I was saying, there will be a mixture of boys and girls in each of the eight cabins. We divided by the time you applied. Basically, if you applied in June, for example, you will share a cabin with people who applied in June as well, or some time close to that.'

Wait, Jason gave us the forms back in May, saying Piper and her friends were applying as well. Does that mean I could be sharing a cabin with Annabeth? A smile slowly crept onto my face.

I listened attentively for my name, but no one in our group were called out for the first seven cabins. I heard Leo swear under his breath when Calypso was called to Cabin 5. As the people in Cabin 7 filed out of the marquee, there was only a few of us left. Hedge turned around looked at us, eyeing us suspiciously.

'Well, what do we have left?' he looked at the list he's been reading off. He coughs and then announces,

'Cabin 8. Piper McClean, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, Percy Jackson, Frank Zhang, Hazel Levesque and Nico di Angelo.' I do a small fist pump into the air, and Annabeth looks at me with a raised eyebrow. I smiled mischievously and she rolls her eyes, but returns with a smile as well.

'Sick! We're all in the same cabin!' an excited Leo exclaims, but Coach Hedge frowns.

'Hmm. Seems like there's an extra one in this group. One of you will have to sleep on the inflatable mattress. Any volunteers?' he asks. Leo practically jumps on top of Hedge before any of us can say anything.

'DIBS ON THE INFLATABLE MATTRESS!' he shouts, waving his hand in the air like a maniac.

Hedge glares at Leo and Leo eventually quiets down.

'Alright looks like the rest of you are sharing a bunk with whoever.'

I turn to Jason and nod, but he mouths 'Sorry' and gestures down to Piper, who gives me a bright smile. I shrug and turn to Frank instead, and he gives me a thumbs up.

'Alright, hurry along to your cabin and meet us back at the canteen for lunch. Got it?'

'Yes sir.'

'Good.' And he stomped out.

'Wait, where exactly is Cabin 8?' I ask, obviously clueless of my surroundings.

'I've been here before. I'll show you.' Says a new voice behind us.

We turn around to see a small, dark skinned girl. She had dark brown curly hair, that she let flow wild. Her eyes. Her eyes were an extraordinary colour. They were hazelish, but I would just describe them being gold.

'Eh, mine names Hazel.' She says shyly. 'And this' she steps back to reveal a short, dark haired boy with his hands in his pockets. I couldn't see his face as his hair was in the way but he had a very pale complexion. I could tell from his hands.

'Is my brother, Nico.' Hazel finished. I decided to be friendly as we are gonna put up with each other for the next two weeks.

'Hi, mine names Percy, nice to meet you.' I gave them my best smile and held out a hand. Hazel shook it immediately but when I turned to Nico, he was already half way out the door, heading to the cabin, I assume.

Hazel must've seen me frowning, because she stepped in front of me and said,

'Sorry, my brother isn't the most talkative person. I apologise on his behalf.' She says sincerely.

I smile and say, 'No biggie! I'll catch up with him later.' I wink but Hazel almost looks worried.

'Okay, Hazel? Do you mind showing where this cabin is because I'm starving and could really do with some lunch.' Jason says.

'Oh yeah!' Hazel immediately brightens up. 'Cabin 8 is furthest away from the canteen, so we better hurry. Follow me!'

We all grab our belongings and follow Hazel out the door. I fall behind to wait for Annabeth.

'Isn't it great that we're all in the same cabin? For two whole weeks?' I say to her. She looks up at me and sighs, but smiles all the same.

'Yeah it's great, as long as I don't find anyone's boxers laying on the cabin floor every day.' She raises her eyebrows at me.

I pout. 'Oh come on! I'm not even that messy, you should see Leo. Oh gods, the sight.' I say, shuddering. Annabeth laughs as we walk out the door, joining the rest of the group. I cannot wait till the activities begin. . .

I'm sorry its really bad quality! I wanted to upload today so I didn't disappoint you guys so this chapter was really rushed. I'll go over it again tomorrow to edit any mistakes but it's really late where I live right now so I don't have enough time to perfectify it : ( Also, I decided to try a chapter in Percy's POV, since I've been writing from Annabeth's for the first three chapters. I find writing from a boy's POV harder so I might just stick to Annabeth's. Whose POV do yous like better? I think I'll do a poll on whether I should write from Annabeth's POV or Percy's so please check that out. Please review any suggestions or ideas you have for the story or you might even want me to write from a different person's POV in the group? Sorry for rambling but ty for reading and I'll see you soon! P.S – this chapter is over 2000 words long! : )
