I pretended to have interest and walked with Chris, welcoming the new camper in. What was so great about new campers? It was nothing unusual. But when she turned around, i noticed why Chris was making such a fuss about having a new camper.
"What do you want, Clarisse?" One of the girls that was talking to the new camper, was Drew. "Shouldn't you be like… polishing your spear, or something?"
"No, i think i should be drowning you in that lake, over there" I pointed towards the lake.
"I'd rather not waste my time on you, Candance." Drew said, giving me her back and walking away.
"It's Clarisse." I corrected.
"I know." She sneered, and walked like she was a model in catwalk, her white blonde hair swinging at every step she took.
"Hey" The girl said, "I'm Bella. Well, Bellaena."
Wow. If i didn't know as much as i do, i would say Aphrodite came to down to Camp Half Blood. Bella was the most beautiful demigod i had seen in a long time. She had huge beautiful baby blue eyes, kind of like the color of the sky in a perfect, cloudless day, with large pupils, her eyebrows were perfectly shaped, no hairs out of place. Her skin was flawless, no zits, no marks, nothing! She looked like she had been tanning recently, her arms, legs, face, she was perfectly bronzed. She had plump pink heart shaped lips and perfect, straight white teeth. And her hair, was silky and wavy, her blonde streaks of hair reached her butt. She radiated beauty when she smiled. There was something about her that reminded me of Silena.
"Clarisse." I said.
"And i am Chris" Chris shook her hand, she smelled like flowers.
"When did you arrive?" I asked.
"Two days ago. This is all so new to me. Found out I'm Aphrodite's daughter just yesterday. Its quite unbelievable." When she spoke, her voice was so soft and sweet.
Aphrodite, of course. Who else would it be?
"Yeah, i remember when i found out, its pretty scary, huh." Chris said, combing his hair back with his fingers.
"Cabins?" She asked, smiling from ear to ear.
"Ares, God of War."
"Hermes."
"When is it due?" She asked calmly, looking at me.
I could almost feel my heart stopping.
"When is what due?" I asked.
"Your baby." She felt my stomach.
"What… How did you..?" I asked, I'm panic. I was two months pregnant, you couldn't tell i was pregnant yet.
"I'm sorry i didn't know it was a secret." She said casually.
"Its just, i don't understand how you found out?"
"I don't know how. I just, i just did." She smiled.
"Can you tell?" Chris said, holding my uterus.
"No, i just knew."
"What do you mean?" How did she know?
"I don't know, but i knew. I am sorry." The way she smiled, it was like, Silena.
"Don't tell anyone, okay?" I begged
"No problem, i won't." The way she said it, i knew she wouldn't.
"Hey, Chris!" One of his brothers called out.
"We'll see each other at dinner, okay?" He looked at me.
"Yea." I said, he placed a soft peck on my lips and left to be with his brothers.
I turned around and decided to watch my siblings wrestle, i felt someone touch my shoulder as i walked towards the arena. I looked back, it was Bella. What now.
"Clarisse, can you show me around?" She asked, i had nothing better to do, so i agreed.
As i showed her around, she kept asking me annoying questions.
"So, there is a curfew. And i will have to be locked in a room full of those barbies?" She asked referring to her sisters.
"You know, kid. I'm starting to like you." I sneered. "How old are you?"
"Just turned 17." She said.
"Im 18. Chris, my boyfriend, is 19."
"Clarisse, why is everyone starring at us?" It was true, the campers were all staring and sneering, as they saw the most beautiful girl on here hanging out with me.
"Because, i am not the type of person… that a girl like you would typically hang out with." I explained, trying not too laugh.
"Why? You seem nice."
"People don't like me much around here." I laughed.
"Why?"
"Okay, newbie, lets get things straight" I said, "I've had a hard life. I am mean and ugly. People hate me. You don't have to pretend okay?"
"You've been hurt." She said, "I can see it by the way you act. You pretend you don't care about anything, you want people to be afraid of you, so they don't get close to you, and you don't get hurt." I wondered how this stranger was taking so many right guesses, without barely knowing me.
"No."
"Tell me, Clarisse. You can trust me."
"I barely know you."
"Yet, i feel like i know you. I never gave you reasons for you not to trust me." She still smiled, damn, nothing could get her to stop smiling?
"Newbie, you remind me of a friend i used to have, Silena. She was great, really. Aphrodite, like you." I really didn't know why i told her.
"Really? Where is she now?" She asked excitedly.
"Dead." I muttered.
"Oh." She patted my back, "You can tell me about if you want."
"I don't think so."
"Okay" It was incredible the ability she had to accept everything i said, happily. "You know" She touched my belly, "she is going to be a great warrior."
"Chris and i think its a boy." I caressed my belly.
"Its a girl." She said.
"If you say so."
"Why do you act like you don't care about it? You love your baby, Clarisse. You would kill anyone that tried to harm it." Deep inside, i knew it was true.
"Girl, how do you know so much about me?" I asked.
"I know people. I feel things. I don't understand it either, but i just…know." She picked up a flower and put it in her hair.
Dinner time arrived, and Bella insisted in sitting with me. I hated to admit it, but i knew her for one day and felt like she was my friend. Or at least someone that i didn't feel the need to beat.
"You want her?" i asked Chris, as we lied on the grass, looking at the stars.
"I want you." He pulled me close, put his hand on my belly and kissed my lips.
"I see the way you look at her, you almost drool." I laughed.
"She's beautiful, thats all. I love you." He told me.
I didn't say anything else, i just lied with my boyfriend and wondered who this stranger was and how did she know so much about me, and most important… would she keep my secret? It didn't matter anyways, i would have to tell people sooner or later.
