I am so tired of having everyone's eyes on me, mostly guys. I mean, being loved by everyone is a great improvement but to be completely honest, I only want Xander to look at me. I don't understand what to say to him so I just kind of let my actions speak for me. I love this guy and when his buddy tried flirting with me, I used the most forceful way to get my point across. I really hope I got the point across that I am not okay with any guy other than Xander flirting with me. I got really curious when he whispered to his buddy but it is not my business. "You better go speak with Chiron before dinner. I have something to deal with." He smiled at me and walked off. "There goes the hottest guy on the whole dang planet." I muttered to myself. I turned to go find this Chiron but I ran right into a horse. Wait, not a horse, a centaur. "I am...erm...sorry sir....um..." I stuttered trying to be polite. "It is alright my child. May I as for your name?" I was relieved, this Centaur was polite and a gentleman, something I was used to. "I am Ebony DiAngelo." I responded as polite as possible. "May I ask you of your name?" One of my foster homes had forced me to go to couresy classes and they tended to kick in at these times. "You're very polite for a young lady. My name is Chiron Kentavros. I am the camp director." He nodded to me. "Wait, you're THE Chiron. The one from the myths?" I asked, now full of curiosity. "Technically the myths are real but yes, I am. I have trained the best heroes. Perseus, Hercules, Odysseus." He informed me. "You mean the Odysseus from the Iliad and the Odyssesy?" I asked again, just with a little touch of nerdyness. "I am already in awe of your intelligence. Yes, Ebony. The very Odysseus." "Wow." I was now awestruck that I have actually met the one and only Chiron. "Oh Olympus, it is time for dinner. May I escort you?" he kindly asked me. I nodded earnestly and he offered his back to me. "Hang on tightly." Chiron advised me as he took off into a trot. We arrived seconds later at the dining pavilion and all eyes were on me as Chiron took me to the Poseidon table where Xander, another boy who looked older and almost identical to Xander, and a blonde girl who was actually quite beautiful but was obviously the other guy's girl. "Hi there, Ebony." Xander smiled and let me sit by him. "Ebony, this is Percy and Annabeth." He introduced me to the couple across from us. "Hello there." Percy smiled at me. "Pleasure to meet you." Annabeth replied. "No, it is my pleasure." I responded to Annabeth, which shocked her. It seemed to me that nobody  was that polite around here. I could hear whispers around me as others looked and pointed at the new girl. No camper before was escorted around camp by Chiron other than Percy Jackson.
