Nap time, interruption time

F e l i x H a y w o o d

Leaning back in the chair I had made myself comfortable in, I draped my left arm over my eyes to block out the light so I could get some sleep. Much deserved sleep, in my opinion. Camp was crazy, with Kronos still running around, us always worrying about attacks, free time to sleep was hard to come across. Hopefully nobody would stumble across me and draw a mustache on me with a sharpie or anything. If they did I would slay them.

Feeling a tickling sensation on my upper lip, I groaned mentally. Just my luck, I had jinxed it. So much for sleep, I had to defend myself from a dreadful permanent marker. Lowering my arm, I glared at the younger girl who was doodling on my face as if it were some free sketchbook. I saw another younger girl out of the corner of my eye but I ignored her, focusing on the situation on hand instead.

"You dare touch the sacred skin of Felix Haywood, son of Demeter?" I was kind of depending on my name to ring a bell, me being cabin leader and all, but if it was familiar that was fine too. Kind of. Nope, it wasn't, the whole conversation I was going to have was completely relied on her recognizing my name and the fact that I was head counselor of a cabin.

"Oh, you suck so much." I said, staring at my nose and trying to track where the line had went. Groaning, I fixed her with a hard stare and crossed my arms. "You just bought yourself an evening scrubbing my face. And doing laps. How many laps, you may ask, well-" I got interrupted - for the second time today, oh joy - by the sound of the piano. He was pretty steamed at the moment, but the song that was being played calmed him down some.

Gazing at the stage and the little girl - who looked like a proper lady - that was sitting at the piano. "That's pretty... nice. Don't cha' think?"

One corner of my mouth pulled down in an upside down smirk at her eye-roll, and I turned to Angelica instead. "Hey buddy, how you doin'?" I asked, grinning at her. She was pretty cool, nice and pretty. Well duh, she was pretty, being cabin leader of Aphrodite, which was more impressive, in my opinion. My cabin didn't have that many campers compared to the size of Angelica's cabin. Must be hard keeping everything in order, most seemed to hate the children of Aphrodite too. I didn't know why, some were real nice and awesome.

Ah well. I couldn't control who liked and disliked who. Eyes wandering over to Liliana, I raised an eyebrow and chuckled. It was like a big party for the cabin leaders. Kind of. About one quarter of all the cabin leaders in all of Camp Half Blood were currently in the amphitheater when there wasn't a particular event going on. "Hey Liliana!"
