Outsider (Story about Camp Halfblood)

Chapter 24

I slammed the door to my cabin open and sluggish threw off my gear. I would've completely stripped and grabbed clothes and walk to the bathroom if only Pollux was here. But Will and Darcy were there. Darcy made herself at home on my bunk and Will and Pollux were playing cards.

"What are you all doing here?" I said, kicking off my shoes and socks. I caught a whiff of my feet, didn't smell good, but better then pee smelling heads.

"Hanging out." Pollux said not looking up from his cards.

"Waiting for you, stinky feet." Darcy teased. I threw a dirty sock at her, stupid her, she caught it. The boys snickered.

"It smells better than your head!" I snapped back, getting my clothes and walking back into the bathroom locking the door behind me. Quickly I showered and got redressed, tossing my dirty clothes in the hamper for the harpies to get. Apparently putting your clothes in the assigned hamper, harpies will clean and fold and put them away. All in one day! Pretty nice, if you ask me.

I walk back into the room and pulled my hair up in a messy bun and laid face-down on my bunk.

"Wash your feet?" Darcy smirked, not for long; I pushed her off my bed.

"Ow!" Darcy shouted, the boys laughing. I flipped over ad sat up against my pillows.

"How was it?" Will asked me, laying a card down.

"Good, until we had to run, no, sprint for five miles. Jumping, diving over all things she threw at us. We couldn't use our weapons until we met our opponent, who ran the same course but in a different direction. At random, so you can fight a guy, yay!" I paused to catch my breath. "If you lost you had to run the course again. If you won you got a break. I had to wait five minutes for my opponent, who came about two minutes after me, but waited five more to sneak up on me. It worked and the big Ares kid took me out by disarming me." 

"Sounds fun. So how many times did you have to run it after that?" Pollux asked. He and Will not interested in their game anymore.

"Oh I won the next time. It was an Athena girl." I responded grabbing my pillow and hugging it.

"Annabeth?" Will asked.

"No. Annabeth is out talking with some old friends, looking for Percy." I replied.

"Who told you that?" Darcy asked getting off the bed to sit down on an unoccupied bunk.

"Clarisse." I said. "I'm going to be so sore tomorrow."

"You did have to go-oh!" Pollux said in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up." I threw my pillow at him. The pillow missed his face, where I was aiming and knocked the cards out of his and Will's hands.

"Guess our game is done." Will sighed collecting the cards and putting them away.

"And I was winning!" Pollux threw the pillow back to me. I fell forward, and the pillow sailed over my head and landed at the headboard.

"Thanks!" I smiled getting up and helped Darcy off the floor.

"'Bout time you got me." Darcy said.

"You didn't have to lay there. Anyways, what time is it?" I asked.

"Almost dinner time. Thankfully we can finally shower." Pollux answered.

"What? You have to wait until its shower time!" I complained.

"Chiron requested we showered before dinner. Sorry, but we did go a whole day." Will winked.

"Fine. At least your hair will smell nice." I said. "Now all of you shower, next time I see ya'll, you better smell nice."
