The life of Kara Beckham

“ No. No. No.” I muttered. I started to cry. A teenager that had to be Clarisse walked up to me and put her arm around my shoulders. “Come on girl,” she said gently “Let’s get to the Big House. I’ll make you some hot chocolate.”. As we walked towards the Big House, I kept crying hysterically. Then I woke up.
I sat bolt upright in the- oh whatever you read it in the last chapter. This time, Clarisse was next to Stella. I groaned. Not because of pain, but because of embarrassment. “How long was I out this time?” I said with a sigh. “Only 19 hours this time, which is an improvement!” Stella said cheerfully. “I don’t blame you for blacking out kid.” Clarisse said. “ When I met you I almost did myself. I knew you, even though I had never met you. I-” I cut her off. “knew I was important but you couldn't place it and it made your head spin? That’s what happened to me too.” I finished for her. “HEY! That’s OUR thing!” Stella said with a fake pouty face. “We should get Chiron and have him take you to the armory.”Clarisse said.
She led us outside where I then saw that the sun hadn’t risen yet. It had to be at least four, probably even earlier. Ugh, this whole blackout thing is going to totally going to mess up my sleep patterns I thought to myself. Chiron was already out there waiting for us. “You girls get back to your cabin. I will show Kara the armory.” Chiron said. They nodded wearily and walked to cabin 5.
Chiron and I walked to the armory. As soon as we walked in, I spotted a large gold blade in the corner. I picked it up. It felt perfect in my hands. “ Interesting you would choose that sword. May I?” he asked with his palm outstretched. I reculently handed him the blade. He tapped the butt(hehe.. butt. I’m so mature.) and it turned into a nail file. He tapped it again and it turned back into a sword. “That is so cool!” I said with a smile. Chiron smiled back. “If you would like, we could do your camp tour now.” he said handing me back the nail file.“Ok Chiron.” I said politely. We walked out of the armory. Everything on the tour seemed familiar except for the cabins for the minor gods and goddesses.
By the time the tour was over, it was about 7 and the other campers started trickling into the dining pavillion. At that moment, a golden wreath appeared above my head. "All hail Kara Beckham, daughter of Nike." Chiron said.
I had sword fighting first. There was not only Nike(aka me) but also demeter at the class. Percy was the teacher. "Alright who would like to go first?" he asked. I walked forward and took out my sword. We started fighting. I ducked, parried, rolled and struck as if I had done it my entire life. Within thirty seconds I had disarmed hin and had my sword at his throught. "Impressive."he said out of breath."Are you sure this is your first time using a sword?" he asked. "I'm not one to take second place." I said simply. "Well let's kick it up a notch!" he said with a smile. It took a bit longer this time, but I disarmed him yet again. We did this five more times and each time he ended up on the ground with my sword at his throught. "I'm speechless." he said out of breath. When class ended, a boy from the Demeter cabin approached me. "How did you do that?" he asked me. "Do what?" I asked. "Beat Percy. I have been at camp for five years and not once have I even come close to disarming him." He said. "Well my mom IS the goddess of victory." I said in reply. He introduced himself. "My name is Chester Ohara." he said with his hand out. "Kara Beckham." I said shaking it. "See you around I guess." I said. "See ya." he replied running to catch up with his cabin. What a brat. I thought to myself. But in the back of my head i had the tiniest crush on him. I never would have thought that we would become close friends.

Notes
