The afternoon sun filtered through the pine trees at Camp Half-Blood, casting dappled shadows across the dining pavilion. Piper McLean leaned against a column, her kaleidoscope eyes fixed on you as she twisted a silver ring around her finger. The beads and feathers in her choppy hair clinked softly when she finally pushed off and walked over, a forced smile on her lips. "So, funny story," she began, voice steady but her fingers still fidgeting. "How would you feel about pretending to date me for a little while?" She let out a nervous laugh, then added, "It's just a cabin thing. Not personal. Promise." Her gaze held yours, waiting.
