Chapter Four

James' POV

"Hey, Vienna." I say, knocking on the Demeter cabin's door frame.

"Oh, hey James." Vienna says, walking over to the open door.

Her long, honey blonde hair was brushed over one shoulder and her periwinkle eyes glittered. Vienna was one of the nicest girls I knew at Camp. She was very accepting of people, didn't usually judge them by first glance. I figured she would be the best person to introduce Adrienne to.

"This is my sister, Adrienne. It's her first year at Camp, so I thought I'd introduce her to some people." I say, nudging Addie forward a bit.

"Hi, Adrienne. I'm Vienna." she says, giving Addie's hand a slight shake.

"Why don't I introduce you to the rest of the cabin. You can hang out with us today." she says, giving her a warm smile.

"Okay." Addie says, giving a small smile.

"I'll see you later Addie. Vienna, can you make sure she's up at the mess hall for dinner?" I ask.

"Yea, sure James." she says.

"Thanks." I say, walking away from the cabin to see if any of my friends were here yet.

As I walked over to the Hecate cabin to see if my friend Fletcher was there, I had to hide behind the fountain to avoid Kate and the rest of the Aphrodite girls.

I couldn't wait till Julia got here. She was the Aphrodite counselor and she was usually able to keep the other girls under control, keeping them from turning into total fangirls any time they saw a guy they thought was attractive. Dad had told me that Piper had been the same kind of counselor during her time here.

When they're past me and have their backs turned away from me, I quickly sneak over to the Hecate cabin. I knock on the door and a few seconds later, it opens up.

Jackie, the cabin's counselor, was standing there, a bored look on her face. Her dark hair was choppy and disheveled, like she'd just woken up from a nap.

"Can I help you?" she asks. Jackie didn't like me very much, for some unknown reason. I don't recall ever doing anything to offend her, so I really didn't understand why she didn't like me.

"Um, yea. Is Fletcher here yet?" I ask.

"Nope. Called and said he couldn't get here til Saturday." she says.

"Oh. Well, okay." I say.

She scowls and slams the door in my face. Sometimes, I really hated that girl. She acted more like a daughter of Ares than of Hecate.

I walk down the glittering jade and marble steps and over to the Iris cabin to see if Becky or Nathan were there.

A few minutes later gives me the same result, except I didn't get the door slammed in my face.

Sometimes I wondered why mom and dad always insisted on getting to Camp early when none of my friends would be here yet.

I sigh and make my way back to the Apollo cabin. I could get my swim suit on and take a dip in the lake for a while, then figure out how to waste the rest of my time before dinner.

A/N:

Sort of a filler chapter, I think, but oh well. The next chapter is a sort of filler too.

Do you ever feel like you've been really busy, but haven't been? Like, all you've been doing is sitting around the house or something, but at the end of the day, you just feel like you've been busy? That's pretty much how I've felt for the past two weeks. Yesterday though, I was a little busy. I was getting things ready for my show thing on Saturday, pricing pieces and such. That took forever. Pricing stuff is hard, 'cause I don't want to overcharge and mark a little mug at a ridiculous price, but then I also don't want to have it so cheap that I don't really make much of a profit.

And last night, while still watching Supernatural (I'm on the eighth season! Only a little bit more before I'm caught up!), I drew this little comic-type thing and I think it's the cutest thing. Recently I've had this obsession with pie. Yes, you read right. Pie.

So in the comic, there's a slice of hot cherry pie on a plate. And then above it, there's a little dialogue bubble that reads, "'WHERE'S MY GODDAMNED PIE?!'" and then off to the side, there's a little cartoony version of me. It's all done with the fine-point sharpies, I'm quite proud of the way it turned out, to be honest :3

I also rearranged my bedroom yesterday, got bored with the way it was set up. And then I hung this chain thing with these clips on it to hang up art and stuff. That thing took me forever to hang up. It just didn't want to cooperate with me at all.

Oh, by the way, Saturday's chapter will probably be a little later than usual because that craft show goes til 3:00. So, I have no clue when I'll be home 'cause I'll have to load up the car with whatever I don't sell and also my wheel that I'm bringing...And I think this all has to go in my mom's little car, so that oughta be fun. And then I told my friend the other day that I'd never been to a haunted corn maze so she said that we're going this weekend, I dunno if that'll actually happen 'cause she's probably forgotten all about that conversation by now, but we'll see.

And last night I learned something while making dinner for me and my dad; mishaps with the waffle maker are very messy and extremely hard to clean up. So, word of advice, if you're ever making waffles, never use too much batter. It ends in disaster.
