Chapter 7:My Dinner Goes Up In Smoke

Word of the bathroom incident spread really fast. Wherever I went, campers pointed at me and murmured something about toilet water. Or maybe they were just staring at Annabeth, who was pretty much dripping wet. She showed me a few more places, the metal shop, the arts and crafts room, and the climbing room, which were actually two facing walls that shook violently, dropped boulders, sprayed lava, and clashed together if you didn't get to the top fast enough. Finally we returned to the canoeing lake, where the trail led back to the cabins. Annabeth said, "I've got training to do, and dinner is at seven-thirty, if you don't know where it is, just follow your cabin to the mess hall."Then there were these group of girls that smiled and waved at me as if I was there long lost friend or something. So I waved back. Then Annabeth said, "Don't encourage them, they are terrible flirts." So I said, "That's it! I want to go home." "You are home." Annabeth said. "Because we are half-bloods, Percy." So that means that my father isn't dead then?" I asked. She said "Nope." Then she told me that her mother was Athena, Goddess of wisdom and battle." Then I asked her if she knew who my father was. But she said that it is undetermined and that I will find out some time.

Me and Annabeth were talking for a pretty long time. She told me everything about the camp, everybody in the camp, and what there is to do in this camp. One thing she told me is about the people that go here and cannot go in the camp.The mortals would only see a strawberry farm and nothing else. Then the last thing we talked about was if we wanted to get out of the camp, we could just walk out but only with Chiron and Mr.D's permission. Unless we are granted a quest. Chiron and Mr.D would have to tell me to go on a quest with some people. Then I asked Annabeth "Back in the sick room, you were feeding me that stuff, and then you asked me something about the summer solstice. What is the summer solstice?" She said, "I don't know anything about the summer soltice, but I wish I knew. Something is wrong in Olympus, last time I went there, everything seemed so normal." I said, "You have been to Olympus? But how did you get there?" She said "The Long Island railroad, then a special elevator to the six-hundredth floor." I knew there was only a hundred and two floors, but I didn't tell her." Anyways, we went for dinner and everyone was seated in their cabin number. Then after the dinner Mr.D told me to go to a campfire and there we talked about the capture the flag game and that it is on Friday.Later in the evening, the conch horn blew again and we all went back to our cabins. That was my first day at Camp Half-Blood.
