Outsider (Story about Camp Halfblood)

Chapter 17

"Mia! Why did you even consider going to the movies with the Stolls? They always cause trouble!" Acacia scolded me. She was pretty upset, but she couldn't pull it off. She's not one to stay mad long.

"It sounded fun. And I have left camp since I got here, and I wanted to see that movie!" I protested.

"But for a movie?"Acacia sighed and Ash, who stood behind her chuckled.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine. Anyways it was a first encounter with a monster, and Connor and I make a good team. Sadly though, I'm too short to go for many kill shots."

"At least you can run through their legs." Ash suggested.

"Funny." I commented back."I need to talk to Pollux. I'll see you guys later."

"Okay. Don't go on any adventures!" Ash stated.

"Don't give her any ideas!" Acacia whispered too loudly.

"You can't trust me?" I said.

Acacia smiled and waved and ran off with Ash. I walked back to my cabin I thought of ways I could make a rainbow. Hm, I could just go into the bathroom and steam up the place. But then there's no place to sit. Screw it, I'll look through Pollux's stuff he left here.

And let me tell you, it's very unorganized. I searched for a half hour until I came across a hot pad. Why he had that, I don't know. But I got a glass bowl and filled it with water and set it on the window sill. It made a small rainbow, but it was good enough. I tossed in a drachma and repeated the lines I was taught and popped up Pollux. He didn't see me at first, because he was talking to somebody else.

"It sucks. My mom has that guy over right now and they're having lunch. Which was over two hours ago!" Pollux griped spinning back and forth in a computer chair with no computer.

"Wow, did you even get any?" a familiar voice asked.

"No. I'm eating stale pretzels from like 2011." Pollux grimaced. He was not having a good day, and I was trying not to laugh too hard.

"So anyways, last time we talked, we were talking about this girl?" the voice mentioned. I was now very interested.

"Oh yeah." Pollux blushed.

"Wasn't her name Karen?"

"Kari." Pollux corrected.

"What did you do with her?"

"I took her to the movies to see Woman in Black." Pollux said.

I couldn't help mayself but ask, "Oh my gods! How was it?"

Pollux jumped and spun around to the door and when he turned to face me he jumped yet again.

"Jeez, Mia! What, when?" Pollux stuttered.

"What? Your talking to Mia too?" the voice called.

"What happened to your face!" the first thing said to me by Pollux.

"Is it that bad?" I wondered, my eyes widening.

"Will, you have to see this." Pollux said. What? Will is here. Dang.

"How? We are I.M.-ing." Will asked.

"Just pay the goddess a drachma, it's worth it." Pollux said.

"Oh thanks." I muttered. A few seconds later another face came into view.

"Oh Tartarus!" Will jumped.

"Thank you. But seriously all this," I gestured to my face, "Was to see Women in Black."
