Percy

At breakfast, I sit with Hazel at her table. We're not really supposed to sit with another exchange kid, but nobody really pays attention to two exchange kids huddled in a corner.

"So, what's your schedule, Perce?" Hazel asks. I grab it from my bag and hand it to her.

Annabeth is sitting with Luke and other people in her cabin. Her golden ringlets bounce around her shoulders as she laughs. Her eyes shine with a twinkle matched by noeone. Her lips-

"PERCY!" Hazel cries, waving a hand in front of my face.

"Uh, ya?"

"I said, we're in all of the same thing today except swimming, I'm in Canoeing." She says angrily, then gentler, "Stop staring at Annabeth, Percy. She has a boyfriend."

"I know." I sigh.

A pudgy little man with Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian print shirt comes to the podium. He looks almost like a cherub, an incredibly bored, tired, cherub.

"Settle down, settle down." He says. When nobody even turns their heads, his face turns red and he explodes. "All of you dirty, stinky, ungrateful little miscreants SHUT UP NOW before I come down there and SHUT YOU UP!" Silence replaces the chatter and the cherub's face turns a less vibrant shade of crimson.

"All right, down to business. First of all, I am working here completely against my will. My father thinks it's 'good' for me. As if babysitting 300 little children could be good for anyone! Second, my name is Mr. D, for any of you who are too stupid to remember from last , which for most of you probably have. Third, the camp fire tonight will be led by cabin nine. Last, and certainly least, Friday, instead of campfire, you will play Capture the flag." he stops and hops off the podium.

"Wow, he's certainly friendly." Hazel jokes.

"Yup, he really is! 'As if babysitting 300 little children could be 'good' for me!'" I mock and Hazel laughs. I catch sight of Annabeth and wave her over. She sets her jaw and comes over, Luke not far behind.

"Schedule?" she asks not looking up from hers. I hand her mine and she studies it. "Okay." She looks up for the first time and notices Hazel. "And you are?" she asks.

Despite Annabeth's curt and slightly rude tone, Hazel just smiles and introduces herself. Annabeth nods, making no attempt to introduce herself and turns back to me. "We have everything together. Let's go." She sets off at a brisk pace and we had to practically jog to keep up with her.

At archery, Luke has gone off to canoeing and just before leaving he made it very clear that I was not to so much as make Annabeth annoyed. Or else. So I pretty much just stayed to the side with Hazel and shot at the boards.

After, Hazel went off to canoeing down the lake and Annabeth and I headed to our cabins to change into our bathing suits. I took my favourite swim trunks out of my bag and caught a glimpse of something I did most definitely NOT pack. A speedo. I pick it up and shiver at the thought of actually wearing it. My mom must have snuck it in before I left. I smile at the thought of my mom. She works as an author and always smells of cookies. She refuses to make anything but blue chocolate chip cookies, though. I really love her, but I hate my step-dad. He smells like beer and is always mooching money off me for poker.

I toss the speedo back into my bag and wait for Annabeth outside her cabin. When she comes out, I'm stunned. She's wearing a hot pink leopard print ruffled bikini and she looks AMAZING! She smiles at me for the first time all day and snaps her fingers at me.

"Eyes up, Percy!" she chuckles. Oops, I must have been staring! I hope she doesn't tell Luke, he'll kill me!

"Sorry!" I squeak. She laughs a beautiful, tinkling laugh.

"That's alright."

We all jump in the water and the instructor, a young tattooed man with black shaggy hair, tells us to go to the other side of the lake and back. At home, I'm on the swim team at school and everybody says I'm great. Personally, I think they're just saying that. But I really enjoy swimming. I swim there and back like I was told to do and pop up at the dock.

"Woah, dude! You took, like, a minute! You're really fast! You swim at home?" the instructor asks.

"Uh, ya, I do." I glance over my shoulder and see everybody else just toughing the other side. Wow, I was pretty fast today! I kill time until they get back by sitting on the dock, propped up on one hand.

When Annabeth surfaces, she looks at me lounging there, her face unreadable. Then she cracks a smile that slowly spreads through her face.

"Well, I think we have a swimmer here! Don't get to cocky though."

"And what if I do?" I say with a smirk, trying extra hard to be cocky.

"Then you may have to face Justin here!" she gestures to the instructor.

"Let's do it!" Justin exclaims. A ripple of excitement passes over our group and I don't want to be a kill joy so I agree to it.

"Alright, on the count of three, I want you guys to dive in, and front crawl there and back. First on back is the champion!" says Annabeth.

"Nar, bro!" Justin says. I have no idea what that means, so don't even ask me.

"Cool."

"One, two, three, go!" Annabeth cries.

I dive in and immediately start pumping my arms in time with my kicking feet. I feel a familiar energy I only get from being in the water and pull ahead. Justin's really fast, so I have to go full speed and I'm completely spent by the time I hit the dock again. 5 seconds later, another hand hits beside me.

The group erupts in cheers and everybody pats me on the back telling me how nobody's ever beaten Justin before. Even Justin congratulates me with "Cool, dude!". I felt on top of the world.

At wrestling, things got interesting. Most places divide up the group by gender, girls wrestle girls, boy wrestle boys and by size, little people vs little people, giants vs giants. Apparently not here. The counselor in charge here, some cheeky Asian guy, thought it would be absolutely hilarious to pair me up with one of Annabeth's huge roommates, Clarisse.

Clarisse looked at me, sizing me up, then smiled. She knew she was going to win and so did I. I searched my brain for options.

Run? No, people are just starting to think I'm cool, I don't want them to think of me as a coward!

Surrender? No way! I'd look like a total wimp!

Fight Clarisse? Um, you're out of your mind if you think I can take her on and still keep my face intact.

I guess I don't have very many options.

I think of something my dad once said to me. Not Gabe, my step-dad, my real dad. He died, though. He once told me: Find your opponent's weakness. I looked Clarisse up and down, realizing she has no physical weaknesses. I wonder how smart she is. I decide to test it.

The Asian guy rings the bell and Clarisse and I circle each other. She lunges at me and I side step her, sending her running to the edge of the ring. Just as I thought. She doesn't look hurt as she get up, just incredibly angry. She lunges again and I side step again, though this time as she's running away, I kick the back of her kneecap and send her sprawling. Before she can get up, I pin her in place. Hard. She can't move and taps out. I WON!

"Trust me, Prissy! I'll remember this!" she threatens, but I'm to busy celebrating to worry.

At fencing, I'm assigned Annabeth as my partner. Ha! This should be easy! She at least a head shorter than me, and I must have around 70 pounds on her. I couldn't have been more wrong.

I got cocky and let her make the first move. Big mistake. She fake lunged at me and I parried to meet her sword, though it was already at my chest.

I'm to stunned to speak. Annabeth lifts her mask off her head with a smirk.

"Thought it'd be easy, huh?"

I learned that size has nothing to do with fencing.

I'm so exhausted by free time that all I want to do is sleep. But on the way to my cabin, I pass Hazel and she asks if I want to go to the trapeze. I had no idea we had a trapeze, so I immediately said yes. I wasn't about to let something as common as sleep stop me from going on a trapeze!

Apparently, I'm scared of heights! Who knew?

I got up to the top with Hazel and froze. Oh gods, it was so high!

"Percy, are you all right?" Hazel asked worriedly.

"Ya" I managed to choke out.

"Do you want me to go first?"

"No, I'll go."

"All right."

I stand there staring at all the space in between me and the other side. What if I fell? I mean, I'm attached to a harness and there's a net to catch me but, still?

"Percy?"

"Ya?"

"Jump."

"But what if I ?" Hazel give me a good kick and I'm sent flying through the air to the other side. Wow, this is fun! On the way back to Hazel's side. I let out a cry of joy and do a flip, then let go and fall onto the net.

"HAZEL! YOU GOTTA TRY THIS! IT'S AWESOME!" I scream in glee.

She jumps, does a couple of flips, then drops.

"Who hoo!" she cries on the way down, then we head off to arts and crafts.

Today, apparently, is beads day, so we get to make bracelets and necklaces. Instead, I chose to make a key chain for my mom. I just don't do bead necklaces!

I took this chance to sit next to Annabeth and her friend ? and get to know them. I know that Annabeth loves reading, is a strait A student and wants to become an architect when she gets older. She has 2 5 year old half brothers; Bobby and Mathew, a dad and a step mom.

"What happened to your real mom?" I asked her. She looked down at her necklace, her curls covering her expression and ? shot me a look. I decided not to push it, I knew about the loss of parents.

An awkward pause followed this where we all stared at our hands. Hazel broke the silence by asking if she could sit with us. I nodded and we talked for the rest of the period.

At dinner we sat together again at our usual table in the corner.

"How was your day?" she asks and I tell her about my crazy first day in California. After I finish, Mr. D gets up on the podium again.

"Oh, here we go again!" Hazel mumbles under her breathe.

"Hello, kids. I've been instructed to be nice to you, something about scaring you off? Well, no matter, campfire will be at 9, that's all you need to know. If you don't know where the campfire is held, then you'd better find out. That's all." He says in a tone that suggests he's had 1 to many glasses of champagne.

I go to my room for the rest of the time and right my mom a letter.

Hey Mom!

I really miss you! I'm having lots of fun here! I met Frank's girlfriend! Small world, huh? Only 5 weeks and 5 days before I come home again! Then, I'll be bringing back a girl named Annabeth Chase. You'll like her. When I come back, can we go out to dinner, just me and you? Please?

If you see Gabe, tell him to go die in a hole for me, would you?

Love,

Percy 3

I put the letter in the mailbox on my way to the fire.

Damn, I forgot to ask Annabeth for directions! I check my watch. Good, still got enough time to find her! I hope.

I sprint all the way to her cabin, and believe me, it's a very long way from mine! By the time I get there, Annabeth is just leaving her cabin and I'm completely out of breath.

"Annabeth," I gasp, trying to catch my breath, "where, gasp, camp, gasp, fire, gasp?"

She smiles and leads the way. We travel back to my cabin, past Hazel's and to a little creek. There's a path leading to the left and we take it. That path takes us to a normal looking amphitheatre with a normal looking fire going.

Little did I know that this was not going to be a normal night. Not in the slightest.

So, that's it peeps, don't forget 2 review! This was my longest chapter yet, so pls reward me with millions of reviews!
