A/N- Thank you to Reyna_Is_Da_Best for helping give me ideas for this chapter!
After the whole Sponge-bob dilemma, we all went to breakfast, and began our days. At around 2:00, I was bored with Arts and Crafts, even if we were making a cannon. So I slipped out and decided to walk around the woods for a bit. I had about 2 hours till Arts and Crafts ended, so I just needed to pop back in just before it ended. Easy. Beginning my trek in the woods, I accidentally slipped on a wet leaf.
  "Ahh!" I yelped as I slid down a small slope and landed on my back. I rubbed my forehead. That was painful. I saw a plant that looked like mint or something, I dunno. I had hit my head and my vision was a little blurry.
  "Mint has healing properties...right?" I muttered to myself, plucking a few leaves and putting them on my injured forehead.
Ahhhh. The leaves were still damp from the morning dew and instantly soothed the bump. I rubbed the leaves on my arms and legs, I had gotten a lot of bruises from Capture the Flag. I also chewed a few, but they weren't very good tasting. Oh well. I continued walking after fashioning a small bandana out of the leaves. I was feeling rather good about myself! Finding herbs, making bandanas, I was doing pretty good! Than I began to itch my face. I blamed it on the mosquitos that seemed to swarm me. Than the itching spread to my arms, legs, and whole head.
  "So itchy!" I gasped, frantically scratching. I pulled the bandana off of my head and examined the leaves.

Those weren't mint.
"Poison Ivy?" I whispered. Uh-oh. My foot crunched on top of something. I looked down.
  "Fire Ants?! GAHHHH!" I yelped slapping and itching my feet. I hopped around wildly, shrieking curses at the ants. I tripped over a large bush covered in ladybugs.
They swarmed me, trying to fly away. I flailed my arms, trying to clear my vision when I fell. Ah. Finally peace. Than the ground began to move. I had landed on a colony of snails.
  "EWWWWWWW!" I yelled, jumping up. Snails were stuck to me, I was itchy, ants were biting me, and ladybugs still were on me. I ran backwards, trying to brush off the snails, but they didn't budge.
  "OW!" I yelped. Rubbing my head, I looked down. Something had fallen on my head.
A bee hive?
  "Oh no." I whispered.
Than the bees came. I ran, trying to get away from them. I ran frantically through the woods. I ran into 7 spider webs.
  "AHHHHH! EWWWWWWWW GROSSS SPIDERSSSS!" I ran out of the woods blindly.
  "HELP HELP HEEEEEEEEWLPPPPPP MEEEEE!" I screamed, running.
  "AH!" Someone yelled. I was hit in the head and knocked unconscious.

"He's coming to, finally." A voice said. I woke up in the infirmary.
  "What happened?" I muttered, rubbing my eyes. Will stood over me with a clipboard.
  "You have quite the injury line up. Poison Ivy, Fire Ant bites, bee stings, spider bites and a concussion." He said, scanning the board.
  "Ugh." I groaned.
   "Oh, and Annabeth is quite sorry for hitting you on the head with her 67570 page book about Greek architecture." Will said with a small smile. I groaned.
   "So thats what gave me this infuriating headache."
   "Unfortunately you'll be unable to do much for 3 days." Will said.
  "WHY MEEEEEEEEE!?"
