As I walked into camp my tour guide was hot as hell. I mean Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades. He led me around the camp when another camper walked up to him. 

"Nico, Chiron said you can train now."

"Alright. Thanks, Travis."

"Please don't kill me but Will want's to see you later."

"Why would I kill you?"

"I feel like you remember something that we forgot about so..."

"Travis unless you want me to summon some undead zombies on your ass I suggest running," Nico replied.

"Got it." he turned on his heal and ran towards the Hermes cabin.

"Oh hey, Jordan. If you want to watch me and the other campers train you may. Just don't do anything rash."

"Alright." I smiled. I mean who wouldn't pass up a chance to watch him fight.

He gave a small smile and ran towards the training grounds. I was confused and then ran after him. I must have looked like an idiot running after him. 

"Alright you sit here while I train for a bit then I'll finish the tour."

I nodded. "Cool." I sat on a bench and watched as he was paired up with another black haired dude but he wasn't my type. They were a blur of Black and Blue. Suddenly there was water shot off of nowhere. Nico just smirked as it was floating around the other kid. 

"Come on Percy, I can't be that much of a threat." Nico mocked.

Percy smiled and shot it at Nico. I gasped in surprise as it was shot at Nico. Nico flew backward as the water hit us. Nico scoffed and stood back up. He was soaked, he looked down at his clothes.

He pulled off his shirt and wringed his shirt out. He placed it on the bench near me. I blushed and looked back at them. Nico then had a bunch of shadows around him. There was a crack near him and skeletons began popping up. 

"Let's play shall we?" He said. I saw the skeletons run... I think after Percy. I think that was his name. 

"Alright." Percy somehow got more water and tried to throw it at Nico as he lunged at him. Nico rolled and the water soared overhead. Nico then forced a surge of darkness at Percy. I watched them until I got bored and walked toward the amphitheater. 

I sat down on the top of the seats. I sighed and thought about when life was simpler. I mean, I was in high school, I had a job. I had somebody I loved. I had to let him go since he was almost attacked by a monster. Great, I break up with someone and I already have another crush. "Hey, You okay?" Someone asked. It was Travis.

"Oh hey, yeah I'm fine. I'm just thinking about my old life. It's kind of hard to... comprehend."

"Yeah, I understand. You're one of the lucky ones."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I have been here for a couple of years. In those years we've had a couple wars and battles."

I winced. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't be complaining about my life when you guys have it worse than me."

"I understand. But we all get used to this world at some point."

"I will, eventually."

"Come on, let's prank someone." He said. 

I smiled. "Hell yeah. I never understood why people hate pranks."

"I know right." He said. "Let's add hair dye in the Aphrodite kids shampoo."

"No," I said. "they'll just accept fate and pull off the look. Lets put superglue in their shoes so they stick to their feet and put ketchup packets under the toilet seat so when they sit on it squirts all over their legs and shit."

"Man, you are one good prank for a girl."

"Oh, I know. So how do we get in?" I asked.

"You ask for a makeover and then ask to use the restroom. Ask to see their shoes and when they aren't looking put the glue in their shoes."

"Cool. Sounds like a plan. But I hope you know how much I'm risking for this. My dignity, my pride," I wiped a fake tear away. "My strength."

"Whatever." he smiled and shoved me a bit. "Come on, let's get to work."

======

I ran out of the Aphrodite cabin laughing my ass off. Travis was waiting for me outside. "I did it. Now let's just watch everything unfold."

We climbed a tree directly across the window of the cabin as we were about to give up we heard a scream. It was more like a shriek though. I saw Drew run out of the bathroom wearing a skirt with ketchup running down her legs. 

I laughed and looked at Travis. He was laughing as well. I saw Drew look around until she looked out the window. She pointed at us and grabbed a shoe. "Shit," I said. 

"Jump," Travis yelled.

"Already on it."

I jumped right as the shoe was thrown out the window. I landed on my arm and Travis fell off the tree as shoe hit him in the forehead. "Oh my god," I laughed as he landed on his back. 

 "Ow, ow, ow." we both said. He managed to lift himself up and walk over to me. 

"Come on Jordan, let's get up."

"Yeah, I think I broke my arm though," I said laughing. "That was fun."

"Yeah, let's get you to the infirmary."

"Alright." he put my good arm over my shoulder and lifted me up. I laughed in pain. 

======

As I was placed down on the med bed and I was attended by a blond Apollo camper, which doesn't mean much since they're all blond. "Hello, I'm Will, head counselor of the Apollo cabin and head healer. I am your medic today, and-"

"You should like a waiter. 'hi, I'm Will and I'll be your server today. Would you like some fries?' " I laughed. 

He looked unamused. "Well you must be such a joker, your parents must be so proud of you."

"My parent's are dead." I smiled at him. I raised my arm around. "I know I turned out wonderful for an Orphan."

He sighed. "Sorry Jordan Just had a bad day. I haven't seen my boyfriend since yesterday."

"It's okay, I understand, now when can I leave?"

"By the time the campfire is ready you are released. You should sleep."

 I nodded and closed my eyes.

I was finally drifting off to sleep when I heard some giggling. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Nico and Will. I was confused at first when I saw Nico kiss Will. 

Then I remembered that Will hasn't seen his boyfriend all day. I smiled, they're cute together. Well, I closed my eyes again and fell asleep. 

----

I finally got allowed to go to the campfire. I sighed as I was disappointed that Nico was taken. I sat down next to Travis considering the fact that I haven't been claimed yet or have other friends. 

We were singing a campfire song when there was a huge gust of wind. It blew the campfire out. Everyone was then looking at me.

"What?"

They were looking above me. I looked up and saw some wings that were flapping slowly. I moved my hands above my head trying to make the image disappear. "So.. I'm assuming that I was claimed."

Then Chiron stomped his foot. "All Hail Jordan Cortez Child of Zephyrus the god of the West wind."

"Cool. Does that mean I have my own cabin?"
