Percy's POV


As the spar with Clarisse came to an end, I couldn't help but feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. The crowd that had gathered around us erupted into astonished murmurs and whispers. I walked over to Piper and Will, who wore expressions of awe mixed with concern. Their eyes met mine, silently conveying their worries about the consequences of challenging one of the camp's finest fighters.

After a little chat with them. And me and Grover explaining how we knew each other and doing a little caching up.


"We should get to Cabin 11," Piper suggested.


As we walked through the camp, Piper and Will flanked me on either side, leading the way. Piper filled the air with her usual cheerfulness, explaining various camp landmarks and introducing me to a few campers we passed by.


Soon, we arrived at Cabin 11, the Hermes cabin. It stood apart from the others, showcasing a unique design that resembled an eclectic assortment of mismatched buildings and shacks.

we knocked on the door and a tall and charismatic guy with sandy blonde hair fell casually over his forehead. "Hey there, I'm Luke," he introduced himself, extending his hand. "Head Counselor of Cabin 11. Welcome to our humble abode, Percy."

I shook his hand firmly, feeling an immediate warmth and sincerity in his gaze. "Thanks, Luke. It's good to meet you."

Luke then turned to Piper and Will, a playful glint in his eyes. "And you two must be the lucky duo who escorted our famous newcomer around camp." He grinned, causing Piper to blush and Will to chuckle.

"LUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Piper yelled pink-cheeked.

"Yeah, guilty as charged," Will said, giving me a friendly pat on the back. "We couldn't resist the opportunity to show off our celebrity friend here."

Piper elbowed Will playfully, her cheeks still tinted pink. "Ignore him, Percy. Will just loves to tease."

I laughed, feeling a genuine sense of camaraderie with them. "Well, I appreciate the warm welcome, and I'm glad to have you guys as my friends." Luke chuckled and opened the door, gesturing for me to enter. I said see you soon to Piper and Will and stepped inside.  


Stepping inside, I found myself surrounded by a boisterous group of Hermes kids. They all seemed excited and curious, their gazes fixated on me. I could sense their curiosity and the whispers that followed my every move.


Luke stepped forward, acting as the spokesperson for the cabin. "Everyone, meet Percy Jackson as I am aware all of you know. He's the newest member of Cabin 11. Percy, this is the Hermes cabin. We're a motley crew, but we look out for each other."


A tall girl with a mischievous smile stepped forward, extending her hand toward me. "Hey, I'm Felicia. Welcome to the cabin, Percy. We're all pumped to have you here."


"Thanks, Felicia. I'm excited to be a part of Cabin 11," I replied, shaking her hand.


One by one, the Hermes kids introduced themselves, sharing their names and quirks. Some were in awe of my fame as a teen actor, while others were drawn to my pop star status. Flirting attempts were made, both by girls and even a few boys being the natural flirt I was flirted back but everyone could tell it was all fun and games.
