I opened my eyes. I looked around, campers were cleaning up. Our duffels were under Travis's bed. I stood up and stretched.
"Here, put this on, theirs a bathroom right over there." Travis said. He handed me a orange shirt like everyone else had. I grabbed some jeans out of my duffel and walked towards the bathroom. It was open I walked in and closed the door. I changed into the orange shirt and clean jeans. I brushed my teeth and my hair and pulled it back in a pony tail. I looked at my shirt. It said CAMP HALF-BLOOD across it. It made me feel like I fit in. I walked out of the bathroom and threw my stuff in my duffel and pushed it back under Travis's bunk. A guy with blond hair walked over, I almost mistook him for Fred, but he was a little shorter and had a scar on his face. He looked at me and smiled, like one of those, 'hey I'm gonna smile to make you fall for me and rip you heart to pieces' smile. I glared.
"Oh-kay then. Hey, I'm Luke head counselor of the Hermes cabin." Mr. Smile said. He held his hand out to shake mine. I shook his hand.
"I'm Stephanie. This is my brother Aaron and my friend Evan." I let go of his hand and backed up.
"Nice to meet you guys, your gonna be swarmed with campers, everyone wants to meet you. Were going to breakfast now so just follow us." He walked to the front of the cabin. I looked at my waist, the thing was still there. It was an Ipod touch. I took it off the holder. I never had one of these, Aaron was looking at his too. There was a piece of paper taped to the holder. I grabbed it and opened it up.
Hello Stephanie,
If you are reading this now,
you are at Camp. Please
find a child of cabin seven
they will help you with who
you are. We promise.
Love, Mom and Dad.
I looked at Aaron. He held up the same paper, but addressed to him. Evan came over.
"Come on that Luke guy wants us to go to breakfast." He said. We walked out of the Hermes cabin and caught up with Connor and Travis.
"What happened to Luke? Like his scar."I asked.
"Well nobody really knows but," Connor said.
"He doesn't tell anyone but we all have guesses."Travis finished.
"Like this massive... thing came up and it was unbeatable and Luke fought it alone and he came out with that scar." Connor said.
"Or he ran into a tree during capture the flag..." Travis said.
"We have a bunch more thoughts but you know, we just don't know which one is right.
We walked into the mess hall and everyone stared at me Aaron and Evan. Connor put a hand on my back.
"This way." He whispered. He sat me down on a bench across from him and Travis. Aaron was on my right and Luke was on my left.A hoof banged on marble. I looked over and saw Chiron and a very plump man with curly purplish-black hair and a tiger striped shirt. I realized he was looking at the three of us. I looked away.
"That's Mr.D, camp director, hes really Dionysus, god of wine. Hes... grounded you could say." Luke whispered to us.
"Oh joy, a god on grounding."I whispered.
"Shh dont let him hear you."
Chiron spoke up. "Good morning campers. I just want you all to give a nice welcome to our three new campers. Aaron and Stephanie Archer and Evan Gagnon." Everyone looked in our direction and clapped I heard a few yell 'Hi' and 'Whats up'. There was a table that glared with a bunch of ugly kids sitting at it, I swear if looks could kill, we would all be incinerated.
"Yes yes new brats at camp. Hello Stacy and Allen and Ethan whats-his-face. Today Capture the Flag will be led by the Apollo cabin and the Ares cabin and blah blah blah..."
He went on, complaining about some activities. When he was done some nymphs came around with all of this breakfast food. I saw some kids saying the name of drinks and they appeared in the cup in front of them. I looked at my cup.
"Orange Juice." I said., Some O.J. appeared in my cup. I scooped some eggs in my plate and started breakfast.
