I plopped myself down across from Estelle and gave her the death stare. Which she returned the favor. So there we sat in the dining hall staring at each other wishing the other to die. Man I wish I was medusa right now I could've turned her to stone already.

"Well if you're trying to kill each other, the death stare isn't gonna work" said a blonde man who I could see from the corner of my eye.

"Will, let them be" yelled someone I couldn't see.

"Oh I'm sorry Nico I just thought it would be more effective ways to kill each other" Will said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Like you know how to kill someone" Nico said coming into my line of vision. Which was starting to get blurry.

"I've done it from time to time," Will said leaning forward on the other side of me.

"Right like when?" Nico said, leaning forward to touch Will's nose.

"Oh come on guys he's not in my line of vision anymore!" Estelle whimpered.

"Yes! I won!" I first bumped into the sky. Now the problem was to get the two lovebirds off the table. I did some hand gestures that I hope Estelle would interpret correctly. Then I counted down with my fingers at one I pushed Will as she pushed Nico away from our table. It was very good planning on my part because I'm not going to die. I whispered sorry to Will and turned back to see what happened with Estelle and Nico. Nico straightened up his back and turned slowly to face Estelle.

"You little-" Nico said through his teeth.

"Language!" Will said, wrapping his arms around my ears. Everyone in this camp treats me like a child. I am fifteen, I'm already basically an adult. I should be treated like one. Yet I still have Will's arms wrapped around me like I'm five. I tried to get out of his grip but he is very strong. After a little while like a hopeless deer I gave up and just looked through the crack. I couldn't tell if Nico was yelling curse words or some creative alternatives. So I'm going with creative alternatives. I mean who wouldn't want to say chicken noodle soup? When Nico finished Estelle gave her own choice words back. I can slowly see the hurt in Nico's eyes. Estelle can roast literally anyone and makes it hurt for days. If only I wasn't a deer I could hear what hurt Nico so badly but sadly, I am a deer. By the time Will let go of me it was the end of lunch. I didn't eat anything because I was staring at my aunt the whole time!

Luckily, for me when I had archery practice and Ava gave me an apple. It was supposed to be for target practice but I ate it instead. I feel like uncle Grover would be proud of me. I think he's in Thailand now starting a cult. I never quite know with him. After archery practice, I went to the lake to do some thinking. The naiads wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to stalk my crush.

I snuck past the heavy afternoon patrol crew and went to the coffee shop they're always at. There they were sitting with warm coffee in their hands. I'm gonna talk to them.

Eventually, but for now, I'll just stare from across the cafe through a magazine that is supposed to be used for war stuff. One side is completely see-through and the other looks like a magazine. Who knew that I knew the most creative mind on this planet and his name was Leo. That guy could make anything and I mean anything. One time he made reversed popcorn. I know it sounds weird but it's super cool to watch. Gods, their black hair really does go well with blue highlights. The dark academic clothing fits perfectly with the coffee in one hand and the book on the other. The round shaped glasses make them look like Harry Potter but that doesn't matter because it fits perfectly well with the bangs. I don't get me started with their hazel eyes. Man if only I was mortal. I probably have the confidence to talk to them.
