Leo's P.O.V.

Camp was fun so far. A lot of people are nice to me but I think it's because I'm friends with Piper. She probably threatened them to treat me right or they'll face eternal damnation. Piper can be scary when she wants to. Trust me; you don't want to see Piper angry unless you want to spend the week in a hospital or die.

As soon as I got to the art room, I was greeted by a girl. She told me her name was Rachel Elizabeth Dare and she was the leader of the art department. She wasn't the instructor but she was the best one here. I could tell that she was saying the truth because a lot of campers respected her. I wonder if she knows who Reyna is.

Reyna.

There I go again! I couldn't even sleep last night because I was thinking of her. I shook my head although I was sure that her name wouldn't go away.

"Before we start our session, we're going to do the usual ritual for the new comers."

I was scared. I wonder if they'll ask us to sacrifice our own blood or do something horrible or embarrassing.

"Don't be scared!" Rachel assured the new campers although I could tell she was looking at me particularly "We won't ask you to sacrifice your own blood or do something horrible or embarrassing."

Now that was creepy.

"We're going to ask you to design your own shirt." She said "And your shirt must be perfect in every way."

"Seems easy." One boy from the back said

"Oh, did I mention you'll also be blindfolded and you will not know what color of paint you'll use? You won't even know if it's paint you're using." Rachel stated before asking all the new campers to go to the next room where we'll be doing our t-shirt.

The room was dark to start with and I don't really know why they wanted us blindfolded. It was stupid, in my opinion. I don't even know what value or lesson you'll get from doing this. I sat down and someone whispered to me "The shirt is right in front of you and the cans of paint are right beside you. It's already opened so you can just dip your hands in it." The voice sounded like Rachel's but at the same time, it was a bit different. I was wondering if you get the same tone of voice once you join the artistic campers.

I dipped my hands in a can of paint and just splattered it all over the shirt. I don't even know if it's paint of just some other liquid. I continued this process – dipping my hand in different cans of paint and just splattering it all over the shirt – and I was having fun with it. I was hoping I didn't get paint on the other campers beside me.

"Stop." Someone commanded. It was a different voice; surely it was not Rachel's "Take off your blindfolds."

I took off my blindfolds and found out that someone turned on the lights. I looked down to see if my shirt was okay. That's when I realized that my shirt looked pretty cool. It was colorful – like a tie-dyed shirt – but at the same time beautiful. It was a mess but I kinda liked it that way.

"You're done! Now get out." A teenage boy by the doorway said. He was wearing a personalized shirt too but it was a little tight.

"That's it?" a girl asked

"Yeah." The boy said "You just make your own shirt then you go and join the class. Rachel doesn't want us to have matching shirts like the other departments have. She said it's to prove our creativity but I think it's because she wants our department to be original. The writing club has matching green shirts and no offense but green doesn't suit Octavian."

I was going to ask who Octavian is when the new campers who had joined me already went out. I stood up and went out with my shirt.

Rachel was all smiles when she greeted us back to the art room. She asked us to sit down with the rest of the campers. I sat down next to a girl with green eyes and long blonde hair. She was wearing her won personalized shirt and some jeans. She greeted me and told me her name was "Penelope". She even showed me her pet chameleon. I didn't know you could bring pets to camp.

"Okay!" Rachel announced "We're going to give you different things you want and you create something with it."

I took a rubber band, metal scraps, and some fuzzy wire. I didn't know what I'm going to do, so I just put different pieces together until I come up with something. I didn't know how but I ended up making a small model of a helicopter. I decided to test whether if flies. I threw it across the room.

Good news: It works

Bad news: It flew on a can of paint and crashed.

The can of paint fell down on the dude three seats away from me.

Oops.

So much for my second day at camp.

Rachel didn't mind if I poured paint all over the guy at the art room. She thought it was funny and she did admire the helicopter I made. But even if Rachel didn't want to, I'm still having my punishment. Rachel told me she tried so hard to excuse me from my punishment but I still got to wash the dishes after dinner. It sucks being me. After the whole day of fun (and paint-spilling) in the art room, we were given our free time. I decided it was best to look for Piper or for Percy. I didn't want to spend the rest of my free time alone, sulking in my cabin.

I found Percy near the lake, talking to Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque. They were laughing and having fun. I felt kind of jealous but I immediately ignored it. I didn't want to be jealous because jealousy may lead to something worse. I quietly walked away to find Piper. She was probably at the dance studio with Jason. Finding the dance studio was easy, it was near the cabins.

I was about to open the door to the dance studio when I remembered that Reyna would probably be there. I didn't want to see Reyna yet because I might develop more feelings for her and then I get rejected because she's going to date Percy.

Man, I really do have a terrible life.

I didn't know why but I still opened the door. Thankfully, Reyna wasn't there. I looked around and saw Jason and Piper teaching a few campers basic routines. Piper noticed me immediately and shouted "Valdez!"

"Hi, Beauty Queen." I told her "What are you doing here? I thought you were in the music department?"

"I am." She said. Jason dismissed his class and told them some few reminders.

"Then why are you here?" I asked her.

"I asked for help. Reyna got into trouble." Jason explained while getting a bottle of water from his bag. He took off the cap and drank.

"Reyna? She got in trouble?" I asked them. Shut up, Valdez! You don't like Reyna!

"Yeah," Piper said "It was an accident but since Natasha is Drew's friend, she made it look like it was Reyna's fault."

"Who the fuck is Natasha?"

"Reyna's enemy," Jason said "They've been fighting since they were born!"

"I don't understand."

"Natasha's dad and Reyna's dad are rivalries." Piper stated "Natasha wants to make Reyna's life a living hell."

I was about to ask more questions when the door opened and someone interrupted us.

"Where's Reyna?" It was Annabeth and she looked like she's going to explode any minute

"She's in the camp leader's office. They're deciding her punishment." Piper explained

"What did Natasha do to her?" Annabeth asked me. I told her that I didn't know.

"Don't worry, Annabeth. Reyna's going to be fine!" Jason said "Reyna will get her revenge on Friday."

"What happens on Friday?" I asked

"Camp showdown." Piper said "It's open for everyone although they have to compete through music."

Annabeth sat down and rubbed her temples "Reyna never got into trouble!"

"Well, Natasha is the one to blame." Jason said "If she didn't push Reyna during their dance routine then Reyna wouldn't fight back."

"I swear I will kill that bitch when I have the chance!" Piper exclaimed "She can't even dance!"

"Let's not fight over this." I told them "If Reyna's punishment is washing the dishes, she'll be fine."

"And why is that?" Annabeth asked me.

"Because I'm going to be with her."

A/N: Not really my best chapter, sorry!
