Chapter One
I began to walk down half-blood hill. I looked up and saw Annabeth… running. She urgently knocked on Percy's door. Percy smiled and said something. Then, Annabeth told him something. His face fell. She stepped inside and Percy closed the door.
I wondered if anyone had seen that besides me. I noticed Lauren coming up to me. "Hey," she said.
"Hey. Have you seen Drake anywhere?"
"Why would I care where my older twin brother was?"
I put my hand on my hip.
"Fine. In our cabin."
"Thanks!" I said, running towards the Zeus cabin.
I knocked on the door and it slowly opened. "Drake?" I opened the door a little bit further. I saw Drake sleeping on his lower bunk, black hair all messy. I tip toed up to him and pushed his shoulder. He stirred in his sleep. I leaned down and in his ear I whispered, "Time to wake up."
"Mm?"
Finally, I pushed him and yelled, "WAKE UP!"
He flung up, hitting his head on the bottom of the top bunk, causing me to burst into fits of laughter.
"What the Hades was that for?" he asked.
"Aw," I said, "You didn't even say hi to me."
He rolled his eyes and stood up, rubbing his head, "Ow."
I laughed a little bit more and hugged him. "What did you do all year?" I asked.
"The usual. School, football. You know."
"Nice. Almost the same, but switch football with dance."
His eyes looked like they were just adjusting to the bright room. By the way, Drake has blue eyes.
Drake smiled at me and asked, "What's todays date?"
"Um, June eleventh."
"And that means tomorrow is your birthday."
"Yay for me," I said unhappily.
"What's wrong with turning fourteen?" He asked, "It's better than thirteen, at least."
"I just don't like the thought of getting older."
"Aren't you a little young to be worrying about that?" he asked.
"Not really," I replied.
"Don't you want any gifts? If you don't, I'll give what I got you to Lauren."
I frowned, "That's the only part I actually like, and you know that."
He simply nodded.
