Clarisse POV
After we had seen our rooms, we all went downstairs to the living room. We had planned on watching a movie, but the TV flickered to life and the gods were skyping us. Ares gave me a thumbs up, and Zeus began to talk. "How do you like the house?" He asked. "There's a movie theater, two swimming pools, a helipad with a helicopter, stables, a yacht, a bar, and about a million other cool stuff!" Zeus exclaimed. The connection disappeared, and we went to our rooms.

Chris followed me to my room so we could chat. I acted like I didn't care at all about going to school, but in reality I was terrified. Chris gave me a lopsided grin and held my hand.
We sat down on the couch in my room. "So Clarisse, what did you want to talk about?" Chris asked.
I took a deep breath and began to rant out all my fears, that I wouldn't be accepted, or Chris might break up with me, or being bullied. After I finally finished, I exhaled, waiting for his reaction. At first Chris didn't say anything. He just wrapped me in a bear hug and whispered in my ear, "Don't worry! You're a beautiful,brave, and amazing girl. And you have me!" I chuckled, feeling like this sky had been lifted off of my shoulders. He kissed me on the cheek and left my room.
