The setting: spring break before The Last Olympian

Silena's POV

"Ok, what about M?"

"Michael Yew."

"He is pretty hot." I added to my sisters' discussion. It was spring break, and Chiron had let all the year-rounders spend a day at a water park close to camp. Right now my sisters (Lacy and Tasha) and I were in an enormously long line for a water slide. To pass the time, we invented a game.

We went though the alphabet and for each letter, we thought of a cute guy at camp with the first or last name that starts with that letter.

"N," Tasha started. "Nico!"

"That leather jacket he wears is so sexy!" Lacy giggled.

"O," I said.

"Olly from Apollo," Lacy contributed. "He's hot and he sings like an angel!"

"All children of Apollo sing like angels," Tasha pointed out. "P."

"PERCY!" We all screamed together.

"Q. Quinn from Athena," I said. Tasha and Lacy nodded in agreement.

"R."

"Rodriguez, Chris!" I shouted. At the mention of his name, the girl in front of us turned around and yelled at us.

"I can't believe you guys! Calling other peoples' boyfriends hot! It's outrageous! And rude!"

"C-Clarisse," I stuttered out. A mad Clarisse is never a good thing.

"You're dating Chris!" Lacy squealed like a true daughter of Aphrodite. Only we would get that out of everything she said. Surprisingly, Clarisse didn't pummel us; she blushed.

"Yeah. We just started dating. I-I'm still kinda unsure about what to do in a relationship," We just stared at her. The mighty Clarisse admitting a weakness?

"Well, you came to the right place," Lacy stated, looping her arm through Clarisse's arm. "We have all sorts of relationship advice for you!"

"I wish I could help," I sighed. "I'm not doing so well in my own relationship. Charlie barely notices me!" I had a crush on Charles Beckendorf, head camper of the Hephaestus Cabin, since the first time I saw him three years ago.

"Beckendorf?" Clarisse grunted. "Just talk to him about forge stuff. That'll catch his attention."

"That's the problem! I have no clue about anything forge related!"

"Well, I know some stuff about it. Like, Celestial Bronze is the rarest but best material to make a sword out of. And steel melts at around 2500 degrees Fahrenheit." I smiled

at Clarisse. Maybe this daughter of Ares wasn't so bad after all.

"After this we were going to ride the lazy river. Wanna come with and talk about more relationship stuff?" I asked her. It was her turn to smile.

This is for the InvisiblePretender who requested these pairings.
