The next few days were some of the best in my life. I had so much fun pranking with the Stoll brothers(and I never got caught, thanks to my charisma and charm.) I got into a good routine in the first few days. Annabeth would give Percy and I Ancient Greek lessons First thing in the morning. I caught on quick, while Percy lagged behind just a little bit.

    After our lessons, we went to figure out what we were good at. And let me tell you, there were a lot of options. You could be good at fighting, with any kind of weapon (bow and arrow or sword to name a few,) you could be good at strategics, or making weapons for the camp. If you were good at some of those, it could give you a clue of who your godly parent could be. I was pretty good at archery and sword fighting. Some of the campers like the Stolls and Annabeth thought that I could be an Apollo child, and I kind of agreed with them, but we couldn't be for sure until I was claimed.

    I was in sword fighting lessons with the Hermes cabin and I was watching Percy get his butt whooped by Luke. It was really funny. It was all Connor, Travis and I could do to stop ourselves from rolling onto the ground. When Luke called for a break, I made my way over to Percy.

    "Oh my gods Percy! You're horrible at this!" I exclaimed.

    Percy glared at me "Like you're any better!"

    "Hey! I'm better than you!"

    "Are not!"

    "Fine, then I'll go ask Luke if I can help him demonstrate. Wanna bet five drachmas that I'll get it faster than you can?" I challenged.

    "Deal!" Percy said shaking my hand.

    I walked over to where Luke was standing "Hey Luke!" I said right next to his ear. He jumped and splashed his whole bottle of water on me. I glared at him but he just kept laughing.

    "So anyway," I said wringing out my hair, "I was wondering if I could help you demonstrate the next move. I have a bet with Percy that I'll get this move down before he can."

    "Sure." He shrugged "If it'll help you get money from Percy, I'm in."

    "Thank you! It would be bad if I lost, cause I'm completely broke." I smiled at him, turned around, and walked over to the Stolls.

    "Hey I need your help with something," I said with a smirk.

    "Oh, she's smirking! She's got a plan!" Exclaimed Connor.

    "Of course I do! Okay, so the plan is, once Percy fails for the third time after I perfect the move Luke is gonna show us, run up behind Percy and dump that cooler of water on top of his head. Got it?" I asked.

    They smirked mischievously, "Got it."

    I walked over to where Luke was and murmured, "When you see the Stolls coming up from behind Percy, back away quickly."

    "Ah. So you're teaming up with Connor and Travis now are you?" Asked Luke.

    "Yes. Yes, I am. I'm the mastermind."

    Luke winked at me and got the class's attention. He showed us how to do the move. Honestly, it didn't look too hard. All you had to do was make your opponent's blade do what you wanted it to do. Luke tried the move on me for the first time. He pushed my blade back with his and my sword clattered uselessly to the ground. On his second try, I was ready. I pushed back and slid my blade out from under his. I got into the right position and pushed Luke's blade towards the ground. To my shock, it worked. Luke's blade hit the ground of the arena with a loud clang. I smiled victoriously at Percy, who had a look of utter shock on his face.
