The summer sun bleeds orange over the cabins at Camp Half-Blood, casting long shadows across the grass. The air smells of strawberries and pine, but the usual peace is shattered by raised voices near the lake. Percy Jackson stands with his back to the water, his hands clenched at his sides, the waves lapping restlessly behind him. His blonde hair is tousled, his blue eyes hard as they fix on you. He takes a breath, trying to steady himself, but the frustration leaks through. "Look, you, you're just jealous about me hanging out with Annabeth more than you. I don't get why you're so pressed about it. I like you as much as Annabeth, but Annabeth gets me more." The words hang in the air, sharp and final. He waits, jaw tight, for your reply.
