Colin's Bunk

A sigh escaped Colin Reece's lips as he stared at the wooden ceiling of the Hestia cabin. It was unusually warm, something he wasn't used to. He was used to cold and wet, living on the Olympic Peninsula clear across the country. Warm and dry, something a child of Hestia should be used to, wasn't something he was accustomed.

With another sigh, Colin threw his baseball up and caught it deftly. He was incredibly bored, just laying around, but he couldn't think of anything else to do. His training for the day was already finished, all there was to do was wait until dinner so he could eat. Maybe if he could find his mom tending the fires around camp he might talk to her, but he just couldn't muster the energy to get out of bed.

He threw his baseball up again, higher than last time, and caught it. Colin lifted his head and thumped it against his pillow.

I skipped in, seeing some new kid in the cabin. I put a smile onto my face, and walked to him. "Hello!" I say happily.

Colin jolted out of his hazy-eyed stupor as a chippy voice greeted him. A girl he had seen around the cabin before (but probably hadn't ever seen him, he was just ninja like that) was standing there.

"Err...hi?" he replied hestitanly. 'Ok...kinda creepy...'

I tilted my head at the kid. "Hm...I see you are the new kid." I say
with a smile. "Whats your name?"

"Ah.....well, I've been here for er." I counted mentally in my head. "Right, I've been here for just I think......6 months? Yeah...6 months." I smile. "I'm Olive, Olive Benson." I stick my hand out for him to shake.

He shook her hand, feeling awkward. Now that he was fully conscious and not all loopy from boredom, Colin was starting to get that awkward 'oh-my-gosh-I'm-talking-to-a-girl' feeling he always got when he was talking to...well, a girl.

"Er, hi Olive," he tried not to look her in the eyes, afraid he would start stuttering like mad.

"Well..nice to meet you!" I say with enthusiasm. "I'm guessing your a Son of Hestia, because...well..your in the Hestia cabin." I laugh a little bit, then straighten up. "I'm your sister, its weird because last time, I was a Daughter of Athena, but now that I came back a few days ago, I'm a Daughter of Hestia." I say, remembering the day when Hestia claimed me.

"Nice to meet you...too," Colin all but spit out. Then she started to ramble about being siblings and Athena and Hestia and children and it got all jumbled up in his head.

"How is that?" he asked. "How could you be a child of Athena one day and then claimed by Hestia the next?"

I shrugged. "Thats what I was thinking! I dunno..I guess its just a mystery that doesn't have a answer..."
I pop up behind Olive secretly. "Hello Olive." I say in my best Dark Vadar voice.
I jumped, startled. I looked behind me. "JOLIE! STOP DOING THAT!"
I giggled and waved to some boy. "HELLO!"

Colin mentally sighed. 'Okay, at least it wasn't some sort of big everybody-but-you-knows thing. That's a relief."

A redheaded girl popped up behind Olive without her noticing. Colin tried not to freak out, two girls? He was too mentally unstable to handle this.

After the girl used a Darth Vader voice, Colin found out her name because Olive kind of...screamed it. The girl, Jolie, turned and greeted him. Loudly.

"Hi," he replied back timidly. All the while thinking 'Holy crap, I'm gonna DIIEEE!'

I walk in to see Olive, but she was taling to...a dude? HMMM. She burned Jolie's cupcake. WOW. I walk over. "Hi Olive. Hi person I don't know."

"Hey Millie. This is Colin." I say pointing to Colin.
I walk in, following behind Millie. "Er..Millie." I point to my head. "My head start to bleed...can you heal it?"

I nod to both. I move my hands over Kahi. I smile and look over.

I nod. "Very." I look around.

I blinked. "Er...thats great, whatever your name is."
"Kaiulani...Kahi for short."
"Nice to meet you Kahi."

"Welll.." I say looking around. "I'm gonna go..nice meeting you Colin."
I nod and leave also.

I leave too.
"Bye!" I leave.
