HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER
CHAPTER 1
It was a Friday morning at camp. Well, everything's the same. The Ares Cabin are picking on almost everybody, the Apollo cabin's shooting arrows, the Demeter Cabin's watering the flowers, the satyrs are playing tag with some of the wood nymphs, and here I am, sitting outside of my cabin, making a shield out of a piece of metal I found last night while I was exploring the woods.
By the way, I'm Charlie Beckendorf. I am the head counselor for the Hephaestus cabin. I usually do this when I am bored, making something out of scratch. I guess maybe it's normal for a Hephaestus kid, unlike those silly Aphrodite girls who would never want to break their nails. They should know that hearts are like nails, you shouldn't break them.
Speaking of Aphrodite girls, I saw Silena Beauregard running towards me. I really hate the fact that Aphrodite girls look gorgeous, even if they feel nasty or gets all sweaty. She's wearing an over-sized Half-blood shirt and super short shorts, which looks really great on her. She is really pretty, I mean-I….I…..see how Aphrodite girls hypnotize you? They are cunning, just like their mother. Word of advice: Don't ever fall for their trick. If you only knew about what their mother's doing to my father.
"Charlie!" She was running like she was being chased or on a hurry, which was kind of funny.
Wait. Whoa…did she just call me Charlie?
"It's Beckendorf"
"Oh…right. Sorry Char-I mean Beckendorf. Sorry"
"So…what brings you here Silena?"
"Oh! Uhm, yeah. Chiron's calling you, meeting at the big house, now"
"Ok."
I took my stuff, got inside my cabin and tidied it all up. I heard Silena saying "Charlie's so slow". Then when I got out and she was no longer there (which is a good thing).
I wonder why Chiron's called for a meeting. I think he wants us to go for a quest or something. If whatever that quest is, I am sure he wouldn't give the quest to me.
