Chapter 2


Ever since Cody came to camp, he's been trying to ruin my life, especially after he found out I saved Olympus twice. He snatched the Stolls' looting bag and blamed it on me. He stole all of the cabin leaders stuff so now most of the campers hate me. My only friends now are Jason, Piper, Leo, Nico, Thalia, and my wonderful girlfriend Annabeth. Leo is always off with Calypso, Jason and Piper are always kissing or off cuddling, and the hunters haven't been to camp since Cody got here. It was just me and my Wise Girl.

After the second giant war Athena gave me her blessing to my relationship with Annabeth. I was planning on proposing tonight, since Hephaestus just finished the ring as a favor. I walk up to my cabin to grab the ring, and as usual the campers gave me death glares. I'd gotten used to all the glares and death threats when I realized that I couldn't prove my innocence. I opened the cabin door, picked up the ring, and sprinted to the beach but something seemed off. The glares of hate had softened to almost...pity?

When I reached the beach, I walked up to my normal spot until I saw something unusual. There was Cody in a heated make-out session with a blonde girl. I, being a seaweed brain, ignored it thinking it was his girlfriend. Victoria Smith, daughter of Iris, was almost as bad as he was. She helped him with all the Anti-Percy plans. But as I got closer I realized it was Annabeth, my Annabeth, making out with that snob. I ducked behind a rock and listened to their conversation.

"When are you going to break up with that loser already?" Cody asked, pulling his lips away from hers.

"He asked me to meet him here tonight, so probably then." Annabeth replied nonchalantly.

And I couldn't hold back, I ran out, furious. I bit the tears back and screamed, "Loser? I'm just a LOSER to you? Well I guess I don't have to propose to you anymore. HAVE FUN EXPLAINING TO YOUR MOM THAT HER BLESSING WAS FOR NOTHING!"

She turned to look at me, a mixture of fear and shock plastered on her face. I threw the ring at the sand around her feet and watched Cody's face distort. I swung on my heel and sprinted off back to my cabin as fast as I could. I snatched a backpack and stuffed it with clothes, nectar, and ambrosia. I sulked all the way to the top of Half-Blood Hill and looked down at all of camp. What had once been a warm and welcoming home had become a prison of shame and anger. I took one last glance and whispered, "Good-bye."
