my thought process while trying to write the first line: Keep smiling, and nobody will know. heh. will, Will. oh wait. Odyessus and Annabeth are nobody. ugh. i have to start over again.

"Keep smiling, and no one knows," whispers a golden-haired boy, his breath cold against the mirror he is leaning towards. "As long as your mask doesn't slip, no one knows. Just keep smiling, and be your cheery (autocorrect changed it to cherry) self, and no one's gonna suspect a thing. Don't let your cover slip. Don't mess this up for us all. Put your happy mask on."
