I wake up in Leo's arms, freaking out.
"What the hades, Leo?" I shout, making a bush get startled and a tall Chinese boy jump up. I start at him. "
Frank dunno your middle name Zhang prepare to be murdered." I growl. He jumps and turns into a mouse, scurrying away, "Coward." I spat.
"Jackie, what's wrong with you?" Leo grabbed my arm, "Frank didn't do anything wrong."
"How about you go see how your girlfriend is doing, Valdez." I jerk away from him, scowling.
"It's not hot anymore." He shrugs, disappointed.
"Neither are you." I roll my eyes, "I'm leaving."
"You don't know the way back." He chuckles.
"Well i'm sure as hades I'm not staying here." I step over the bush and roots in my way to find a tall, climbable tree.
"What are you doing?" Leo sighs.
"Getting away from you." I grab a branch and pull myself up a tree with large branches. I hear Leo trying to follow, but he slips and falls. I hear a pain filled groan. Smirking, I pull myself to the top. I see my cabin to the west. I begin climbing tree to tree, hearing Leo calling my name and stumble behind. When there are no more trees to swing from, I scurry down the stump and head towards my cabin. Nico and Percy are arguing.
"I don't trust Valdez!" Nico shouts, his balled fists as white as snow.
"He's not going to do anything to her." Percy places a hand on Nico's shoulder, but it's shrugged away.
"Actually, I woke up and he was spooning me." I grimace at the memory.
"Was not!" Leo burst out of the forest.
"You
were holding me though." I argue. Nico grabs my arm and drags my closer to him and farther from Leo.
"I didn't know they were going to do that, Jack, I promise." He whispers.
"I believe you." And I hug him tightly, tears about to spill on my older brothers shirt. "Can we go now?" I plead.
"Yeah, you need some sleep in a real bed." Nico throws me over his shoulder and takes me to our pure black cabin.
"Thank you." I say, crawling onto my bunk. He locks the door and shuts the blinds.
"Jack, I'm really sorry that they did that to you." Nico runs his hand through his shaggy black hair.
"Why do you call me Jack?" I ask.
"I honestly think it fits you better. Jackie sounds too girly." He shrugs.
"I like it better." I nod, lying down.
"Me too." Nico yawns and I hear his bed springs creek. I smile as my brother and I fall asleep.
...
I wake up a couple hours later, rested and happy. Piper is standing by my bed.
"I can't believe you." I growl.
"It wasn't me." She scowls.
"It was Leo's plan. Jason and I are not speaking." She crosses her arms.
"You're forgiven." I smile.
"Thanks." She hops on my bed and our legs rest together.
"Please don't be mad at Jason." I sigh, "He was helping out a friend."
"I know, but let's let him worry for a bit." She giggles.
"Okay." I smile, rolling my eyes. A brown haired boy with a pointy nose and a mischievous glint in his blue eyes bursts in.
"Flame boy is going to kill me for this." He sighs and comes to my bunk and lifts me up. He;s two inches taller than me. I'm in the air, eye wide when the boy lower me down, but my lips touching his. I freak out and fall over.
"What are you doing!" I shout, standing. Leo and Nico walk in, eye basically on fire.
"Hey?" The boy tries to sprint out of the room.
"Travis!" Leo growls.
" Stoll, I'm going to kill you." Nico grabs 'Travis' by the arm and bones lock around the poor boys ankle.
"It was a dare!" The boy whines.
"Put him down you buffoons." Piper hops off my bed, laughing at my shocked expression. "Jack, meet Travis Stoll, son of Hermes and the biggest idiot in camp. You better run, Travis." She adds the last part while she sees that his ankles are free. He jumps up and runs as fast and far as he can, not looking back.
"I hate boys." I mutter, putting my face in my hands.
