I walked back to my cabin and saw Will waiting outside. He looked like he needed to ask me something. "Hey," I said. "Hey. I need to ask you something." "OK. Ask away." "Uh.. Will you go out with me?" "Yes!" I say as I wrap my arms around him. He kisses me, on the lips, and we walk to dinner, which is barbeque. I give my sacrifice to the gods and pray to Dad and Aphrodite. To my dad I ask to fit in at camp and to Aphrodite I ask for me and Will to have a good relationship.

The next morning:

I wake up to Percy and a girl in the room and I only see Percy and Tyson. I say "Percy what are you doing?" "Oh good. You're awake. I am talking to my mom and stepdad. It's called iris messaging. Mom, Paul, this is Ariadne." "Hi Percy's mom. Hi Paul." "Hi. I am Sally." "Hey. You must be the one Percy was telling us about. You have the same eyes as Percy. Green as the sea." Green as the sea. I hear that a lot. You have beautiful sea green eyes. Your eyes look as green as the sea... But it makes me sad so I run out of the cabin to go find Will. "Will!" "Hey Ari!" then he notices the look on my face and says "Are you okay?" I smile and say "It's nothing." I ask him how he is but a flashback set in to my sixth birthday when my father came to visit me.

"Happy birthday sweetie. I love you SO much. I am so sorry I had to leave." Then I hear gasps around the room as people look at the resemblance between us. They mostly notice our eyes. They are the same shade of sea green and remind them of the ocean. "Is that her father?" "I thought he abandoned her when she was a baby." Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned…..

I look up at Will (I am on my knees now), tears flowing out of my eyes. He doesn't say anything, just wraps his arm around me. Then Percy walks up, looking kind of annoyed (probably because I ran off) but looks at me and his look of anger is gone. "Are you okay?" he asks. "Did somebody hurt you? If they did-" "No Percy. Nobody hurt me. I just had a flashback to last time Dad visited me. I was six and he said 'Happy birthday sweetie. Love you. Sorry I missed your life,' and left. Then everybody started whispering about my eyes. So when Paul mentioned my eyes being green as the sea, it made me think of Dad." "I am so sorry. I will be right back with somebody who knows what it's like. Okay?" I nod and he walks off. Then Will says "I'm sorry Ari." "It's okay Will. I just miss Dad. Do you know what it's like?" "Actually I do know. My Dad is Apollo. You have no idea what it's like to have your dad right there and not be there at the same time. But I still find a way to talk to him. You could try to iris message him. Here is a golden drachma. After you talk to whoever Percy is finding, go call." "Awe. I love you." "I love you too."

Just then Percy walked up with somebody I met when I was 12. She was on a quest she called it. I think her name was Annabeth.

"Hey Ariadne. What's wrong?" "Annabeth? Gods that's a surprise. Last time I saw you, I was 12." "YOU were the girl in the burger place?" "Yeah." "Gods I still think about you. How have you been?" "Good. But right now I need a girl to talk to. Alone." I said, looking at Percy and Will. "OH yeah. I know a place we can be alone."

We walked down to the dock and got on a canoe. "Can you steer this with your mind? I heard about the water fountain incident." "I can try." It turns out I can and we went out to the middle of the lake and talked for a while. Then I splashed Annabeth and she splashed me. Then we jumped in. I didn't get wet, which was strange. Annabeth noticed and told me it was normal for Poseidon's kids to be resistant to getting wet. Then I got us back in the canoe and willed it to the dock. I kept it steady so Annabeth could get out. Then it was curfew so we got to bed. Then I went to sleep thinking about Will…
