By the way, never eat a dill pickle and then rub your eyes. It hurts. I should know. I just did it. Life sucks.


Crap. I thought maybe she would forget about it overnight, but nooo. Oh no. Silena signaled to me from the Aphrodite table. After she finished writing on a napkin, she folded it up into an airplane (or tried to, anyways. Aphrodite isn't exactly known for her Origami skills.) and tossed it to my table. It looked like an awkward pigeon-turtle. I unfolded it, and read it silently to myself. I exhaled through my bottom teeth as I read it, and habit I had gotten from my mother.

It read:

Percy,

Meet me at the lake after weapons training.

Silena

I glared at her.

She smiled back, with what I could've sworn was a smirk.

After breakfast, I headed down to the amphitheater for archery with the Apollo kids. I hated archery with them. No matter how hard I tried or how many puddles I stood in, or how many times I tried to convince the Stoll brothers to steal the Apollo cabin's arrows, (it actually worked, for 5 minutes. When the Apollo kids found out what had happened to their archery equipment, Travis and Connor were speaking in haiku for a month. Woops.) they always beat me at archery. I sucked at it, anyways, so it didn't really matter. Demeter's kids can beat me at archery. I couldn't hit a cardboard hellhound 3 feet away from me. Oh well, I guess that's just what comes from being a Son of Poseidon.

After archery was weapons training with Aphrodite and Athena's offspring. That activity is my strongest point, so why I was beaten by a daughter of Athena (who just happened to be my best friend Annabeth) is a complete mystery. I guess I was just distracted. It is pretty easy when you're battling Annabeth, I thought to myself. Whoa, were did that come from? I shook myself out of it.

"What's the matter with you, Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth smirked.

"Er… nothing."

Silena must've noticed something, because she glanced over at me with a smirk on her face.

I glared at her again.

Why did Silena have to go messing with everything?
