I walked inside, wondering what the matter was with Mitchell. He was usually okay without my advice.
"This way," Lacy said, guiding me towards a sobbing Mitchell.
"Are you okay? What's the matter?" I asked, putting my hand on his shoulder.
"It was a nice attempt, but we already tried that," Lacy said.
"Mitchell, tell me what's wrong," I spoke, putting some charmspeak into my voice.
"Nice try Piper, why don't you just tell me to go jump off of a cliff!" he snapped.
"Whoa," I said rubbing his back to soothe him,"I'm sorry I was just trying to help, will you please trust me enough to tell me?"
"Drew told me I wasn't pretty enough to be an Aphrodite kid and humiliated me in front of the entire campfire before Chiron came," he said, losing his cool once again.
"No Mitchell, you are so special and inside and out you are Aphrodite's child." I said, I had heard the same words myself from Drew, and she was not about to get away with it again. I found her doing her makeup on her bed.
"Drew! I can't believe you! Who do you think you are!?" I screamed at her. She looked up calmly from finishing her mascara.
"Whatever could you mean, sister?" spitting the last word like it was a curse.
"I can't believe you! Ugh! How could you hurt Mitchell? He's so sweet and-and," I yelled, fuming with anger. She went back to doing her makeup. I screamed and took her mascara brush and snapped it in half. That got her attention.
"Look Miss "Head Counsellor" she mocked, making quotes with her hands, " I know you don't believe me, but Mitchell deserved it."
"How could anyone deserve something like that? He already has to live with you, why are you punishing him any farther?" I answered, getting in her face.
"He told his friend, this amazingly smoking Apollo guy with this smile that could make your Jason look invisible, that I was a brat and that he could do better when I asked him out. Can you believe him? No one can beat Drew! No one!" she yelled, obviously upset.
"Well for one, he could, and two, Mitchell didn't make the guy say no. You can expect Chiron to hear about this. Maybe he will make you go without makeup again." I replied.
"Go to sleep freak, you can expect payback," she answered mischievously.
