The Oh So Wonderful Life of Lexa Block 2.0

Hi.

Disclaimer- yeahh…no

Previously on The Oh So Wonderful Life of Lexa Block…

"Hey, I'm Nico di Angelo. Son of Hades."

So his name was Nico huh? That's a name you don't hear often. It's kinda cool.

"Alexandra Hailey Block, but call me by my full name and I'll send you on a one way trip to your father."

A bit harsh, I know. But hey, might as well set him straight now than having to punch him later, you know?

"Well alright then..What should I call you?"

"Lexa. Or Lex. Whichever you prefer really."

Nobody really called me Lex, except this one time when Kat was trying to say Lexa and she started coughing, so she ended up saying Lex.

"What do other people call you?"

"Everyone calls me Lexa."

"Hm, well in that case I'll call you Lex."

"Whatever floats your boat really. So you wanna show me around now?"

Really, I just wanted to go see where people can eat around here. I'm starving!

"Yeah, let's go."

(LET'S PRETEND THIS IS A LINE)

"So you're telling me that there's an invisible force field thing around this camp, and only demigods/gods can get through."

That's crazy! And handy.

"Pretty much." Nico said.

He's been showing me around camp for a little over half and hour now and we STILL haven't gotten to the food!

Oh food, it gives me this warm fuzzy feeling inside and makes me extremely happy.

Though I must admit, the arena is pretty cool- especially with those dummies to practice on. Perfect way to release my anger!

And the beach is really pretty- the waves reached up to my toes but ever went farther than that. I shall take a swim later on.

"Nico, can I ask you something?"

"Uh huh."

"Where is the food?"

I didn't really expect him to burst out laughing, but that's exactly what he did. How is a 12 year old girl with the stomach of a teenage boy something to laugh about?

"And how exactly is my hunger humorous?"

"I was wondering when you were going to ask about food. I mean, your stomach's been growling for the past 15 minutes."

"Well I'm sorry I have the stomach of a teenage boy!"

"I'm sure I eat more than you."

"Not likely. I have the biggest appetite in my class. Including the guys."

It's true. At lunch time, everyone would let me cut to the front of the line because they knew I was really hungry.

"Fine, let's go to the dining pavilion and see who really does have the stomach of a teenage boy."

"You're on, di Angelo."

"You're gonna lose, Block."

(Oooh what a pretty line!)

So when we walked into said dining facility place thing, apparently it was already dinner because it seemed to be filled with people. What great timing.

"Oh wow," Nico said, "perfect timing. Kaye, line's this way."

As I followed Nico to the end of the line, I was getting a bunch of creeper stares from various tables. I mean being the new girl, I expected this, but still. It's creepy.

I spotted Chiron while I was walking. He was sitting at a long table on the other side of the room with a couple of satyrs and such. I think he saw me too, because he yelled my name.

"Ah Lexa, there you are! I was worried you might have gotten lost, but I see Mr. di Angelo was kind enough to show you around. Have you seen your cabin yet?"

Cabin? Yes! I love sleeping in cabins. They're so cool looking.

"Nope."

He then walked over to where I standing, at the end of the line, so that he wouldn't have to keep yelling.

"Well since you haven't been claimed by your Olympian parent yet, you will stay in the Hermes cabin until you are claimed."

Claimed? Sounds like some fancy ceremony that includes angels.

Angels are awesome- they have wings! I want wings.

"Oh, cool."

"You will also have to sit with the Hermes cabin until you are claimed, then you will sit at your cabin's designated table."

"Aye, aye captain!"

"Alright, I will let you eat now, " he said, as he turned to Nico, "Nico, if you would be so kind as to show Lexa the offering technique."

"I would be thrilled, " Nico said.

Hm, hint of sarcasm in there I see.

"Thank you, " he said, now turning back to me, "Oh Lexa, I almost forgot to introduce you."

Introduce me? Is he gonna announce my name and hold me up like that monkey dude did with Simba in the Lion King?

THAT WOULD BE EPIC. Though a little awkward.

"Attention, campers!" Chiron yelled, getting everyone's attention.

Everyone turned around and looked at me with curiosity. I guess they were trying to figure out my parent. This one guy that sitting by himself kept starring at me with his bright sea green eyes.

Hm, Mr. Sea green eyes kinda looks like me. Same hair, same-ish eyes.

"This is Alexandra Block, but she prefers to be called Lexa. She is still unclaimed. Be nice. That is all. "

When he was done announcing my presence and returned to his seat, everyone went right back to their food. I don't blame them, the food looking extremely appetizing.

I decided to ask Nico about this offering deal.

"Hey Nico, what's this offering business?"

He turned to look at me with a very serious expression.

"You have to get one of those rocks over there, " he said, point to the rocks by the fire, " and slit your wrist. Your blood serves as an offering to the gods."

Wait, what? I have to cut myself as an offering to the gods? I hate seeing blood, especially my own!

"SERIOUSLY?" I yelled at him with loads of fear in my eyes.

Once again, I did not expect him to laugh at me. Once again, that's exactly what he did.

I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see a reoccurring pattern here…

"No, not really! Why would you cut yourself as an offering to your parent?" he said, still trying to catch his breath.

"I don't know, aren't sacrifices usually bloody?"

At least, that's how it is in movies.

"Nah, that was like a thousands of years ago. Now we just give them some of our food. "

"Oh, cool. Sounds less painful."

"Haha, yeah it is."

(Line!)

So that line was really long, but I finally got some food. Now I must go put some in that fire thing.

Yay, another line. Fantastic.

I'm not sure where Nico went. He was in front of me when we were getting food, but then he disappeared.

I looked around the room, observing the many tables. Some were full, some had a decent amount of kids, and others were basically empty.

Oh hey! There he is, sitting all lonely at that table over there. Hm, how depressing. Oh look! It's my turn to give my sacrifice.

I grabbed the meatiest looking rib off my plate and threw it into the fire.

Please Dad, whoever you are, give me a sign.

Mmm now where is the Hermes table? This place really needs some signs on the tables for us newcomers…

I guess I'll go ask Nico which table is the Hermes table.

I walked up to Nico and poked his back, until he turned around.

"Yes?" He asked, very much enjoying his rib.

"Which table is Hermes?"

He pointed to the table directly in front of his. (Let's pretend Hermes is in front of Hades.)

"Are you ready to prove who has the stomach of a teenage boy?" he asked, with a stupid smirk on his face.

It really irks me when people smirk. I mean, it's like they purposely do it because they know it makes it hard for me to look them in the eye.

"Of course."

"Okay, Travis can be our judge. Hey Travis!, "he said, yelling to some guy at the Hermes table.

"Yeah?" Travis answered.

"Lexa claims that she eats more than I do, but I beg to differ. Wanna be the judge?"

"Sure!" Travis said, as he picked up his food and moved to the Hades table.

"It'll be easier to judge if both of you are at the same table." Travis said.

"What about Chiron's rule?" Nico asked.

"Hey Chiron!," Travis yelled, " Lexa and Nico are having an eating contest and I'm the judge. Can we all eat here?"

"Uhm ,okay, " Chiron said, "Just don't make a mess!"

"Alright, let's begin." Travis said with his announcer voice.

(Je m'appelle Monseigneur Line.)

"Lexa totally won, dude!" Travis said, at the end of our eating contest.

"HAH! TOLD YOU I COULD EAT MORE THAN YOU!"

See, this is what happens when somebody challenges my ability to eat. They get burned in the end.

"NO! I won!" Nico claimed, as he protested.

"Nah dude, she finished the exactly same amount of food a good 10 seconds faster."

"IN YOUR FACE DI ANGELO!"

Oh yes, who's smirking now?

"Hmph, whatever! I was choking!"

Likely story.

"No you weren't." Travis responded.

"That proves it! I am the official winner of the Who Has The Stomach of a Teenage Boy Contest!"

"Well I want a second opinion." Nico said, turning to the sea green eyed boy sitting at the table next to us.

"Hey Percy, " he said, "Did you see our eating contest?"

This Percy kid nodded.

"Okay, "Nico started, "who won: Me or Lexa?"

"Lexa."

"OOOOHHHH! See, even this random kid agrees with Travis that I won!"

"You gotta admit, Nico. Lexa beat you fair and square." Travis stated.

"Hey! I'm not some random kid!" Percy said to me.

"Well you're random to me."

It's true. I don't know who he is; therefore, he is random!

The Percy kid stood up and sat next to me.

"Percy Jackson, " he said, sticking his hand out, "Son of Poseidon."

OOhh someone who loves water! We can go swimming together!

"Lexa Block, Daughter of a god who refuses to reveal himself."

Soon, my daughter, soon.

Woah. Guessing daddy just like spoke to me through my thoughts.

"Haha, don't worry. You'll get claimed soon."

"I'm sure."

"And if you don't, you get to live in a cabin with Travis here, and his multitude of siblings."

"Wow, multitude's a big word, Perce! Does Annabeth teach you vocab in between your make out sessions- I mean, training?" Nico said, causing Travis to laugh and Percy to blush.

"I'll have you know, we do actually train. And I do know big words!"

"Sure you do!"

As they argued, I turned to Travis.

"So you live in the Hermes cabin?"

"Yup, I'm cabin counselor, along with my brother Connor."

"So you're good friends with Nico and Percy?"

"Yup, I've known them both since they got here. Percy was unconscious and crushing on Annabeth and Nico was playing Mythomagic." He said, laughing.

This caught Nico and Percy's attention.

"Must you tell everyone about my 4 year long crush on Annabeth?"

"And about how I USED to play mythomagic."

"Yes. It's good entertainment." Travis answered.

"Hmph." Both Percy and Nico replied.

(Hi I am a Line!)

"So here's where you're gonna sleep." Travis said, pointing to a bottom bunk under this cute little 9 year old.

See, I actually get a bunk because apparently the cabin isn't as crowded as previous year. Travis told me that ever since Percy made gods promise to claim their children last summer, the Hermes cabin lessened to only Hermes' kids. So I am the only unclaimed one.

"Oh cool, I love bunk beds. And who's this in the bunk above me?"

The cute little girl decided to tell me herself.

"My name is Saddie. I'm nine!"

Aww! She's so cute!

"My name is Lexa! I'm twelve!"

"Hi Lexa! Are you one of our siblings?"

No but I want to be! She's so cute I'm gonna die!

Travis decided to answer this one, "No, she's still unclaimed."

"Aw, I want her to be our sister!"

I WANT HER TO BE MY SISTER TOO!

"Aww, well when I have to move to a different cabin, I'll visit you guys. I have to make sure your brothers don't blow up my cabin."

"Ah, " Travis said, "I see you've heard of my work."

"If by work you mean destruction, then yes."

"Well maybe you can help me with a prank later. Right now we must get to the campfire. LET'S GO GUYS!"

"AHHH, " Saddie said, "Must you yell?"

"Hehe, sorry sis."

We walked outside and sat down on logs with the rest of the campers. Travis told me we were going to make marshmallows. I LOVE MARSHMALLOWS!

"Woah there, Lexa. You might wanna swallow one first before you inhale the next one."

Oh so now Travis has jokes now.

Oh wait, that wasn't Travis- he's over there helping Saddie put the marshmallows on her stick.

I turned to my right and saw Nico laughing at my love of marshmallows.

"Problem, di Angelo?"

"No, it's funny watching a girl eat her weight in marshmallows."

I didn't know Nico was appointed marshmallow monitor.

"You're just bitter because I won earlier."

"You see, I was bitter, but then I thought of how hard I'll be laughing when you attempt to use a sword once you start training."

Well isn't he cool with his sword and knowledge on how to properly use it?

"I am extremely skilled with a sword I'll have you know."

Yeah…not really.

"Oh really now?"

Hm that stupid smirk is back. Damn these are top notch marshmallows.

"No. But I will be!"

Why is it suddenly all quiet? I mean I wasn't yelling was I. And why is Nico staring at me?

"Uhm, Nico?"

No answer.

"Nico?"

That's when I noticed that everyone, including Nico, staring at my head-so I looked up.

Floating above my head was a sea green Trident….

Poseidon?

"All hail Alexandra Hailey Block, Daughter of Poseidon, God of the Seas, Earthquakes, and Horses. (Wasn't sure what to say here..)

"YES!" Percy shouted from his log.

Another chapter done..Review!
