At this point, considering the fact that she was actually clutching the picture of her and Andrea in her hand, she questioned whether being in Nico's cabin had been a dream or not. She shoved the picture into the garbage bin and changed for the day. She shrugged on one of the regular camp tee's and some ripped silver jeans. She slipped on her black aviator boots and slid a headband into her hair, restraining it from falling into her face.
"'Morning Miss Sleep-all-day." Ryan said, emerging from the bathroom in a camp shirt similar to hers and a pair of worn jeans. His hair was tangled and messy and wet, so she assumed he had just taken a shower.
"I didn't sleep all day" She said defensively, and Ryan raised an eyebrow, pointing to the digital clock on Percy's bedside table.
12:53 A.M.
"Well why do you care?" She asked as Percy walked in with Annabeth.
"Ryan come on we need to go now if we're going to—oh. Hey Sasha." Percy said, smiling.
"Okay I'm coming. Sheesh." Ryan said, ruffling his hair with his hand and walking toward the door.
"You'd better hurry, Lizabeth's pissed." Annabeth warned, and Ryan shrugged, exiting the cabin.
"Hey Sasha, we're heading out to Fuddruckers's for lunch if you wanna join." Percy offered.
'They're going on a double date, and they asked me if I want to come alone. Hmm, tricky question, let me think….'
"No thanks." She said, and Annabeth raised an eyebrow.
"Your cabin's table will be empty at lunch." She warned, and Sasha shrugged.
"It's not like I ever actually sit there and eat anyways." She joked, and Percy shrugged.
"Alright," Percy said, "if you need anything call me."
"M'kay" Sasha said, no longer paying attention, now looking at her phone, responding to Andrea's text.

Sasha initially wanted to just skip lunch altogether, but her stomach had other ideas. She was down in the forge with Leo, watching and joking with him as he built some weird contraption-thingy, and her stomach grumbled. Loudly. Leo raised an eyebrow at her and burst into laughter.
"It's not funny." She hissed, blushing. When Leo didn't appear like he was going to stop laughing anytime soon, the corners of her mouth slowly twisted up into a smile. She smacked him on the head lightly.
"Shut up." She muttered through peals of laughter, and slowly they calmed down.
"Have you not eaten anything all day?"
"Nope."
He rolled his eyes, shoving her shoulder lightly.
"You're an idiot Sasha."
"No argument there."
He sneered and then suddenly his face lit up. He smiled mischievously and turned to rummage through some of his other inventions. Sasha sighed.
"Leo, I'm not an automaton and I refuse to eat your scrap metal." She said, and he laughed.
"No, I know," he said, continuing to rummage through the mound, "but I'm looking for…aha!" He said, turning around to smile at her in triumph. In his hands he held something that looked like….
"A T.V.? Really?"
Leo rolled his eyes. "You're hopeless."
"Thank you."
"Look, ever heard the phrase 'TV dinner'?"
"No."
Leo threw his hands up in exasperation and Sasha laughed.
"I'm joking, I know the phrase. What about it?"
"Well, I'm going to make you a TV dinner. You like chicken?"
Sasha rolled her eyes. "Oh please. That's ridiculous. There's no possible way you could make a chicken come out of that…." She let her voice trail off when Leo stuck his hand through the T.V. screen, producing a chicken burger from Chick-Fil-A. He smirked at her.
"What was that you were saying?" He challenged her, and she raised an eyebrow.
"How?"
"Bit of rigging. I got the Hecate cabin to place a spell on it, too, so it's charmed."
Sasha eyed him suspiciously, then shrugged and took the sandwich, munching on it as Leo continued on fiddling with his mechanism.

After her free time she spent with Leo, she had Demigod Etiquette with Aphrodite and Iris's cabins. Unfortunately Drew ruined her plan of sneaking back to her cabin and telling everyone she was sick by storming into Leo's section of the forge to escort her to the class.
'I swear, one day I'm going to lose it and this girl is going to end up headless. Then we'll see how Nico likes her.'
Drew walked along next to her, silently smirking. She didn't seem to care that she'd caused an internal wave of rage inside Sasha, in fact, she seemed to be enjoying it. Which, obviously, infuriated the daughter of Poseidon even more.
"This class should be of use to you. You'll learn how to actually make yourself not look like a horrific pig." Drew said, masking the insult with a sweet tone.
Sasha, boiling, responded in the same sweet tone. "Oh, you mean like you dear?"
Drew snickered. "Poor girl. Did you really think that Nico would ever like a leech like yourself? Please."
Sasha laughed. "As if I'd ever go for him. Too emo, too…..dark. In fact, I'm surprised you'd stoop so low. I really figured you'd have the class to go for someone besides the son of Hades."
"You can talk all you want, hun. It's not like I believe you, or care, at that."
Sasha stopped walking to glare at. Without even thinking, she spoke.
"Talk to my boyfriend, then tell me all that shit."
She knew she was lying, but she failed to see how that really mattered at the moment. Drew raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"I don't talk to imaginary people. I know no one in their right minds would ever even look at you. Same for the rest of your horrific seashit family."
Sasha froze. Her vision was tinged with red.
"Are you talking about my brothers?" she asked, her voice a dangerous whisper.
Obviously pleased by Sasha's anger, she smiled. "Really, the younger one's a slut, and the older one is just as ugly as they get. Sure he saved camp, but even so, I don't see how Annabeth could be into him."
That was too much. Sasha shoved Drew, hard, and sent her sprawling on the ground. She kicked her in the gut, and the other girl screamed. Sasha grabbed the daughter of Aphrodite by her hair and shoved her moth into the ground, making her eat the dirt.
"Say it again, BITCH." She said, and Drew screamed. Sasha felt someone's hands on her, trying to pull her away from Drew, but she wouldn't budge. She continued to shove the girl's face into the dirt. More hands gripped around her and eventually separated her from the other girl. One of the hands gripped her shoulder, steering her away from the group of people now forming around Drew. Percy turned her so that her tear filled eyes were looking straight into his.
"Sasha, stop. What happened?" His voice was soft but concerned.
Stuttering and sobbing and sucking in hitched, uneven breaths, she eventually was able to tell him what had happened. His grip on her shoulder tightened, his glare making Sasha feel unnerved.
"Okay, listen. I'm pretty sure she's going to tell Chiron that she didn't do anything, I mean, not that he'll believe her, but her charmspeak can get people to act as witnesses to defend her story. I'll go explain to him what happened, alright?" He said, and she nodded, her eyes still wet.
"Hey, don't worry about it. And good job by the way, you have no idea how long I've wanted to put that girl in her place."
Sasha laughed and nodded, watching as Percy disappeared into the crowd of people to look for Chiron. Eyes turned to gawk at her, and people kept whispering to one another. Cheeks burning, she whirled around, quickly walking back to her cabin.

It wasn't shocking when Sasha was called to the Big house only an hour later. She walked in, anticipating a scene of Drew yelling at Chiron impolite things, referring to Sasha and how she expected that the daughter of Poseidon be reprimanded. Instead, much to her surprise, Sasha walked into a heated argument between Percy and Nico. The two seemed to be truly furious with one another, and both their eyes shone. Chiron seemed to be trying to calm the boys down while Drew sat behind Nico, a smug smirk plastered on her face.
'If only I could smack that stupid little smirk off her irrelevant, provocative, hideous face…'
"Oh Gods, Nico, she looks like she's going to hit me again." Drew said in a fearful tone, pulling Nico to stand between she and Sasha. Percy rolled his eyes.
"Shut up Drew." He muttered, and she turned to glare at him. She pointed to her forehead, where she had placed a wrap-bandage.
"Do you see this? What do you think it was?"
"I probably smeared your make up and your red devil skin showed." Sasha muttered, and Percy snickered while Drew glared her down.
"Oh get a grip Drew, I barely got the chance to do any real damage," Sasha spat, and then, as an afterthought, added, "I regret not burying you into the ground so deep I'd never have to see you dog-ugly face again."
Nico stared at her in disgust.
"Shut up Sasha."
She stared at him in disbelief. "And just who the hell do you think you are, Mr. I'm-so-cool-I-can-protect-my-useless-girlfriend?"
"I'm here for the same reasons Percy is here."
Sasha laughed. "D'you think I need Percy here? I can defend myself perfectly fine, thank you very much. It's your girlfriend that's in need of a spokesperson." She turned to face the daughter of Aphrodite. "I truly doubt I caused any fatal damage up there," She said, motioning to Drew's head, "Because it's nothing but empty, and there's nothing to harm."
Nico's eyes shone. "Watch it, you stupid little—"
"Every one of you, silence." Chiron spoke up, tapping his hoof loudly against the wooden floor.
"I've heard enough out of each and every one of you, and I believe Sasha's story to be true."
Nico stared at Chiron incredulously. "But Chiron—"
"Let me finish, Nico. I believe Sasha's story, but that does not excuse her from any consequences. Now, for the next two weeks, Drew and Sasha are going to work together to clean up horse stable—"
"No! Chiron, where's the justice? Is there no more freedom of speech around here, you get punished for speaking the truth?" Drew shrieked, and Sasha felt the anger building up in her chest.
"You call my family anything again and I'll drown you so deep in the ocean not even my dad would be able to find your miserable little corpse." Sasha said through gritted teeth, and Percy suppressed a laugh.
"Drew, insulting someone's family members in and of itself is in tolerable by my standards. And you know Sasha despises you, you were purposely egging her on." Chiron stated, and Nico spoke up.
"But she didn't—"
"Seriously Nico, shut up. Your role of Monsieur Attorney can be put aside now." Sasha interrupted, and Nico gawked at her, furious. Which made her feel a little bit better.
"So, starting Monday, Sasha, Drew, while the rest of the camp is partaking in the bonfire, the two of you will be shoveling manure in the stables." Chiron established, and the two girls moaned. Percy smiled at Sasha. 'What're you smirking about? You're not the one who has to clean up tons of flying horse poo' she spat at her brother mentally.
While they were walking out of the Big House, told her,
"Don't worry about it. Being a child of Poseidon has its Perks." And he smiled, like they shared some amusing inside joke, and walked away, leaving Sasha to simply stare after him, confused. Because honestly, she had no idea how power over water could help with cleaning up Pegasi droppings.
