I'm sure the lake would be cool...if I could see it [open]

I stared at the water. Or looked like o was. I felt it slooshing close to my feet and I felt the air skimming across the surface of it. He felt the pebbles under my shoes and the hum of a bee on a flower nearby. I couldn't see it, but I know what it was. I hadn't been blind my entire life...actually I got blinded when I was 5. I can't remember how it happened but suddenly everything was black. Seams like hell, yeah? Yeah, you could say that. But I'm Jay. I refuse to let my emotions about my blindness show. So I chill out, kick back and play along.

I was walking on a trail humming to one of my favorite songs. I noticed a boy sitting near the bank of the lake, and since I was bored, I walked over and sat down next to him. "Hey," I said. I felt the hilt of my celestial bronze dagger. I always did that when meeting a new person. It had become a habit, and it was really annoying.

I had already felt and heard this girl walking up but I didn't expect her to sit down next to me "Uh hi." I said, 'looking' up. I heard her put her hand on the hilt of her dagger "Dont worry I'm not gonna stab you or anything." I said

I blushed, feeling completly embarrassed. Hopefully he didn't see it. "Oh don't worry, it's just a habit of mine," I said shakily. Why was I so nervous all of the sudden? I've talked to alot of people, but I was never nervous. I pushed the thought aside. "Well, anyway, I'm Victoria Murphy, daughter of Nike."

I shrugged her habbit off. "I
Jay. Son of Athena." I said, putting out my hand for her to shake.

I reached out and shaked his hand akwardly. I guess I was nervous becuase I screwed up earlier, but I wasn't sure. "So, how long have you been at camp?" I asked as I released my grip from my dagger.

"2 years." I replied, "Coming up on number 3. What about you?" I aimed my head up at her Dave like I would if I could see. My cloudy blue eyes looked in hers though I couldn't see it

"I've been here for five years, coming up on my sixth," I replied. I pulled a strand of my chocolate brown hair behind my ear. My amber eyes glistened in the sunlight.

OOC: not dave, sorry I meant face. My iPod does really stupid spell checks ._.

BIC:I nodded, "Cool." i was wondering what she looked like and it was killing me. "Uhh....do you mind telling me what you look like?" I blurted befre I knew what I was saying

OOC: sorry I poofed I'm drawing

OOC: That's okay. xD

BIC: I gave him a confused expression. "You mean you can't see me?" I asked. I raised an eyebrow. Can't he see me? I thought to myself.

I sighed and looked away, shifting ackwardly "Im blind." I muttered

My face flushed bright red. I was really screwing up. "Oh, I'm sorry. I- I didn't know," I studdered.

"Its fine." I tried to reasure her and not look as irritated as I felt with my blindness. "Not your fault."

"I'm really sorry," I repeated. I felt so off balance. I didn't even know what I was saying. I am such a screw up, I thought.

"Its not a big deal." I repeated "Its okay."

Feeling uncomfortable, I tried to restart the convesation. "Well, uh, anyway," I began, "I have chocolate brown hair, amber eyes, a white complexion, and, uh, yeah." I drowned my hand in the water and splashed at nothing. Then I freturned my attention to him and waited to respond.

I nodded slowly, forming an image in my head. "Okay."

I rubbed my neck nervously. I didn't know what else to say. The only thing I've really figure out about him so far is that he's a son of Athena, and he's blind. What else should I say?

OOC: Just to let you know, there is a new rule where you have to post four sentences per post. I don't want you to be corrected by an admin or something. xD

OOC: gah! Sorry! I know it's just I'm like half asleep and keep forgetting XP

I felt her tention and quickly thought of something to say "So um your the daughter of Nike, huh? Isn't she like, the goddess of victory?" I always got her confused with that it'her goddes who wa goddess of revenge. Or was Nike th goddess of victory AND revenge? Jeez I didn't know. I reached down and skimmed my fingers across the pebbles and picked one up tht felt flat. I chucked it across the lake. I heart it skip 2 times before plopping back into the mucky water

"Yeah, my mom is the goddess of victory," I said. "I have a friend that's a daughter of Athena, maybe you know her. Have you ever met Melina Johnson?" I gave him my amber gaze and waited for his response.

I thought about that for a second. "Yeah I think so." I nodded, remembering her voice "Why?" I turned my clouded gaze back to her

"Well, she's my friend. We came to camp together. We survived fur- er, Kindly Ones together. We helped eachother in the battle, and yeah."

"Ohh okay." I nodded slowly. "Yup I'm pretty sure I know her." I ripped some grass out of the fround and messed with it absently

I rubbed my arm slowly. I was running out of things to say. "So... Where are you from?" I asked.

"I grew up in Colorado." I replied, feeling her tention. "What about you?" I blew some hair out o my face.
