Hello people! I'm Carson Keyashira. You've probably heard of this last name. Yeah, I'm Arya's little brother. I was was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD when I was 7. I'm 13 and I live at Camp-Halfblood. This is my diary from my time at camp. Enjoy! 

  THREE YEARS EARLIER, DURING SUMMER BREAK

"Carson! Come downstairs!" My foster mom calls to me.

"Coming!" I call back. As I walk downstairs, I hear her talking to dad over the phone about some camp, and River, my dog, barking at some birds outside.

"Yeah mom?" I ask.

"I just got this email from your Latin teacher about a summer camp for kids with special needs. He said that it might help you with-"

"Not getting kicked out of every school I go to?" I interrupt her.

"Well, I wouldn't exactly say that, but anyways, it's in New York, so that might be fun."

"Okay then. Sign me up for it then.", I answer.

A FEW DAYS LATER

My alarm rings. Todays the day, I think to myself. I get out of bed and turn it off. I get to be the new kid, AGAIN.  I do my morning routine and go downstairs to make breakfast. Mom's left early, because she has work. After I finish my cereal, I turn on the TV and watch cartoons. After a few episodes, I hear the doorbell ring. I go answer it, with River, my dog, at my heels. Outside is Mr. Brunner, my Latin teacher, and a woman that was probably like 20 years old standing in front of a black limo? The girl looks at me and gets a weird look on her face.

"Mr. Brunner?" I ask. "What are you doing here? And who is she?"

"All will be explained." He replies. "For now, we are here to take you to camp. I did tell you I run the place, didn't I?"
