2. boy meets girl (girl is rude)

Venus slept in cabin ten, the cabin of Aphrodite.

Some of her siblings were afraid, having been told who and what she was.

In the morning, she dressed herself in a pair of wide-legged jeans, an extremely light pink tank top with white lace at the hem and thin straps, since she still only had what her mother had packed for her, black converse, and a light gray zip-up hoodie.

Aphrodite told her not to wear the orange shirt of Camp Half-Blood, and Chiron clarified that she could do as she wished in the regard of clothing, most likely at her mother's orders.

She left the overly pink cabin and went to the Big House, the large one from the first night, where she had been told to go by one of her sisters, saying that Chiron wanted to see her.

Venus went into the 'office' where Dionysus, although the camp knew him as Mr. D, was sat at the table, along with Chiron, who was talking to the boy from the hill.

Percy Jackson.

And there was a satyr there, who definitely knew about her from the way his eyes widened when he saw her.

"Percy, walk with me, and we'll start again. Hm?" Chiron said.

The boy looked at him and went to leave the office with Chiron, but paused when he saw Venus.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Who are you?" she copied him, crossing her arms and looking him up and down in disgust.

Chiron turned around and nodded.

"Perfect timing, Venus" he acknowledged.

"Venus? Like the planet?" the boy asked, which Venus took to mean that he was making fun of her.

With her father being a war loving god, she had a tendency to be angry over nothing.

"Percy, she's a goddess" the satyr said awkwardly.

The boy, Percy, looked at Venus with slightly widened eyes, before he went to speak, to say something that was definitely not an apology.

"Isn't there a—"

"Don't" Venus interrupted, glaring at him.

The satyr cleared his throat, still extremely awkwardly. "Venus. Goddess of—" he began to introduce her, but she quickly interrupted.

"Don't" Venus said again, her eyes going to the satyr instead of the blonde boy.

She didn't need this boy to be afraid of her.

She didn't want him to be afraid of her.

"Very well," Chiron said, in an attempt to steer the conversation away from anything that could anger Venus "shall we?"

The satyr looked like he was about to follow them, but Chiron stopped him.

"Uh, Grover, please give us a moment" he said.

The satyr, Grover apparently, looked disappointed but listened and stayed where he was.

Chiron then turned around and began walking out, with Percy coming after him.
