Meanwhile...

Beckendorf walked up to Silena. He tapped her shoulder gingerly and she whipped around, her blond hair flowing freely behind her. Beckendorf caught a whiff of her strawberry scented shampoo as it smacked his face. Really, Beckendorf didn't mind.

Silena smiled at him. "Hi! Do I know you?"

"Um, hello!" Beckendorf blurted. "I'm Beck-" Beckendorf stopped abruptly. He hadn't gone over this with Donatello! What was his name supposed to be now? Beckendorf searched his brain for a name that started with a B. Suddenly, it came to him. "B-b-b-Becky!"

"Hi Becky," Silena said warmly. "I'm Silena from Aphrodite. What about you?"

"Uhhhh..." Beckendorf gulped. "Demeter!"

"Really? You don't look like a Demeter child," Silena commented, studying Beckendorf's dark skin and bright blond hair. Beckendorf smiled hugely, showing his (fake) big white teeth.

"Well, you know, Daddy was a male model..." he said casually, shrugging it off.

"Really? Cool," Silena said. "Which one?"

"Oh, you know," Beckendorf stalled. "That one on the cover of those, thingies." Silena's eyebrows scrunched together, but right as she was about to say something, someone walked up to them.

"Hey Silena!" a girl said, walking up to them. She tapped Silena's shoulder.

Silena turned around. "Oh, hey Callie!" She said to the girl. Beckendorf could only see the back of her head, but Donatello had told him earlier that you could tell how pretty a girl was by their hair. Beckendorf had completely zoned out while Donatello was lecturing, but he studied Callie's hair anyway. It was brown, shoulder-length, and tight little curls bounced every time she moved. Nothing came to him.

Maybe if everything is quiet, the answer will come to me! Beckendorf thought. He plugged his ears using his fingers and thought hard. Nothing about hair came to him. He wracked his brain even harder. Beckendorf was focusing so hard that he didn't notice that Silena and Callie were staring at him oddly.

"Um, Becky?" Silena said, waving her hand in front of his face. "Becky. Becky!" Silena shook his shoulder. Beckendorf snapped out immediately.

"Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry!" he said, putting on the faux girl accent. "I'm Becky from Demeter. Sooooo nice to meet you, Callie."

"Really?" Callie looked confused. "I'm a Demeter child and I've never seen you before."
Beckendorf groaned on the inside. Another problem. Joy.

"Oh! I just arrived today! Anyway!" he said, trying to change the subject. "Let's play truth or dare."
Yes! Truth or dare is the perfect opportunity to ask Silena.

"Um, okay?" Callie said, taken aback.

"It'll be fun, Cals. I'll go first," Silena volunteered. "Truth or dare?' Silena asked, turning to Beckendorf.

"Oh! Truth," Beckendorf said. He wanted to pick dare, but Aphrodite girls could really make you do interesting things. Plus, Beckendorf really didn't want to end up kissing a boy.

"Who do you like in camp?" Silena asked slyly, leaning in closer for the answer. Beckendorf gulped.

"Um, you know, that boy, in the, erm, Apollo cabin, yeah, him," Beckendorf stalled.
Silena looked puzzled for a second before her face lit up. "Oh! You mean Ethan?"

"Um, sure," Beckendorf said quickly, not wanting to be bombarded by more questions.

"Oooooo! I'm gonna tell him!" Silena sang.

"No!" Beckendorf roared, right in Silena's face. "Oh, sorry. No, I don't think so," he repeated, more girl-ish this time.

"No, I insist. If you have a crush, I'll get him for you. My mother is Aphrodite, after all," Silena said, tossing her hair over her shoulder. All Beckendorf could do was nod.

"Let's continue the game," he suggested hurriedly, trying to get Silena's mind off Ethan. "So, Silena. Truth or dare?" Pick truth, pick truth, pick truth! Beckendorf hoped silently.

"Dare," Silena answered confidently.

Darn it! He thought. "Oh, umm..." Beckendorf stalled. He didn't expect a dare to be coming from her. He urgently looked at Callie for support, but she was chatting with someone else. "Write your true feelings to your crush at camp on one of the napkins and then throw it in his cabin later!" he said, trying to be as girly as possible and adding a giggle in for effect. The only thing was Beckendorf didn't know how to giggle, so it came out more like an "A-haw-haw-haw" instead of "Hee-hee. "

"Fine." Silena scribbled a hasty a note on a napkin. "Done."

"Can I see it?" Beckendorf begged.

Silena shrugged but stuffed the napkin in her pocket. "Easy. Callie, your turn!"

"Oh, okay," Callie said, bored. "Becky, truth or dare?"

"Truth!" Beckendorf answered, sticking to his original plan.

"Where did you live before you came here?" Callie asked in a monotone, picking at her nails.

"Nevada," he answered quickly, blurting the first thing that came to mind. Callie didn't answer.

"So, Silena. Truth or dare?" Beckendorf asked her.

"Truth," Silena answered. Yes! Beckendorf silently happy danced.

"Who do you like?" Beckendorf questioned eagerly.

"Charlie, of course. Charles Beckendorf. Do you know him? You look an awful lot like him," Silena replied, looking closer. Beckendorf backed up and knocked into a chair. He fell over onto it and quickly scrambled to get up.

"Um, maybe we're distant cousins!" Beckendorf answered. "Bye Silena!" he yelled, dashing away as fast as he could.

"Bye?" Silena offered, looking as confused as ever.

Was it good? Bad? (Hopefully not the second one.) Tell us what you think and review!
