| I'm not doing anything, not anything important. If anything I'm standing around and hanging out doing nothing. People think I'll kill them for no reason so people tend to avoid me. Sure I like to fight but that doesn't mean I'll kill you if you try to talk to me.
"I'm bored, its not like something interesting is going to fall out of the sky" I said quietly to myself.

| I sit reading Gone With the Wind, I adored that book, it was my role model I practically live by it " Whatcha doin" I ask the boy. Obviously a son of Ares, I had not quarrel with Ares children so I might as well be friendly. I smile and quickly pull my hair up into a ponytail | |

| "Nothing really," I replied, "just bored." Someone was acknowledging my existence instead of ignoring me. I was happy some one actually decided to talk to me for once. I smiled, I wanted to try to be friendly.

| " I'm Katie Ellen" I say smiling, I'd always felt bad for ares children a lot of people usually stayed away from them because of their parent I didn't think that was fair, just because their parent is the god of war doesn't mean their rude and mean. | |

| "My name is Ethan Burke" I said. "Nice to meet you" I tried to hide the akwardness in my voice, probably didn't do a good job with that though. But what do you expect? It's not like people talk to me that often, for obvious reasons. | |

| I notice the awkwardness in his voice and I blush, had I done something wrong? " Nice to meet you too " I say managing a smile. This was why I didn't talk to people, because somehow I messed things up. | |

| I need to think of something to say. Think Ethan, think. Keeping conversations alive is harder than it looks. I then noticed she had a book with her. "What book are you reading?" I asked | |

| " Gone With the Wind " I say , I loved talking about the book, I always read it , I wanted so much to be like Scarlett O'Hara . I had green eyes like her which definitely pleased me. It was hard to watch the movie especially at the beginning when they talk about the old south having gone with the wind. It always brought tears to my eyes | |

| "I've heard of that book, people have told me it's a good book" I said. I first heard about the book at school. I've also heard people talk about it when I hung out at the local library from time to time. You know, to get a break from the kids who would bother me about my father leaving my mother and my dyslexia. | |

| " Yeah its really great but sometimes people bug me just because I liked the confederacy, Personally They weren't all that bad " I say, I quickly blush I usually didn't talk about my civil war opinions because usually as soon as I say the word confederacy they walk away | |

| "I agree," I replied "I mean they decided to fight because they felt their reason was important" The Civil War was one of my favorite things that I learned in history class in school. A whole country was split into two and fought to the death. Brother fought against brother divided by the reason they thought was right. It showed how easily an family can be torn apart, let alone a country. | |

| " Exactly, I think the union should have left us alone " I say, I had accidentally said us, I was raised in the south so I usually connected myself and the confederacy . I desperately wanted to go down to the beach but I couldn't go because I had no one to go with and I didn't want to be a wallflower " I'm surprised your not at the dance " I say Curiously, most guys went to those dances. | |

| "Didn't want to go there by myself" I admited. I didn't go to dances or things like that too often, for a few reasons. One reason is that I didn't want to go there alone. I already stick out enough in a crowd as it is, with my above average height, eye and hair color. If I go there alone I'd stick out like volleyball among a bunch of basketballs. | |

| " Yeah same here, plus I tend to be the odd one out " I say embarrassedly. I manage a wry smile and I quickly blush, I was embarrassed with my social status, I was popular when I was with mortals but since iI didn't know who my parent was I didn't really fit in. The only place I felt relaxed was the beach | |

| "Whether it's here or with mortals I'm one who always sticks out in a crowd" This was very true. Whether I went to school with mortals or whether I'm here, I still feel like I'm the odd one out. I know ADHD and dyslexia is normal for us demigods but still. Even when I'm here I still feel like I'm an alien. Maybe I'm having trouble adjusting, but who knows.

| " Yeah I feel like that too, even though I try to be nice to everyone, its really frustrating" I say with a sigh. For some reason people always tried to stay away from me, I'd never really had any true friends. Camp was the same too, No one seemed to be interested in me , and no one tried to talk to me. It was all very puzzling | |

| "I'm not as bad as everyone would think" I said. "Its weird, I come to this camp so I'd have a place to fit in but I still feel out of place" I came to this camp because it was for people like me. I thought fitting in would be a piece of cake, and look at how far that's got me. Finding out that I had more siblings that I didn't know about was kind of cool, that faded though. | |

| " Exactly sometimes I wonder if this camp is really all that great " I say simply, it really annoyed me that some campers thought that just because their parent was so powerful they thought they could treat other campers however they wanted too, maybe Kronos wasn't really all that bad. | |

| "Depends on the point of view I guess," My life wasn't the nicest place before I came here. Some of these days I wish my life was the way it used to be. Here I stick out and I'm pretty much the same as anyone else. While in the human world I stuck out because I am different. I'm not sure if that makes any sense but it's not like people can read thoughts. | |

| " Well you seem like a pretty nice guy " I say quietly, I blush shocked by my boldness, I was usually so shy and quiet, all well, might as well say what I was thinking. I muster an embarrassed smile, But it was true he did seem nice and sincere . I glance towards the beach, it really bothered me that I couldn't go to the beach because of the dance. | |

| "Really?" Ethan smiled "Thanks" I guess I am a nice person, just with a temper.I've been doing better about my temper, not as bad as it used to be. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have an incident like that one time at school. I got out of hand kinda, but that guy had tormented me at school all the time about my dyslexia, my father not being around etc. Having to deal with that everyday since your first day of school gets old after a while.

| " Thats why I was surprised that you weren't at the dance " I say . It was really annoying because all the girls at camp were constantly following the guys around just because they wanted a boyfriend , it was ridiculous, especially the Aphrodite girls they were so fake it was insane. | |

| "Didn't want to take the chance that a fight might start and I'll get blamed for it" Crazy as it sounded, stuff like this happened to me. Hasn't happened recently but didn't want to take the chance. It's happened before, at school, a couple of people tried to beat me up. I acted back in self defense. I wasn't going to sit there and let myself be beaten senselessly.I don't function like that, I'm not going to stand and let people treat me like a punching bag, I just won't. | |

| " Makes sense " I say, I knew I'd never be blamed for a fight because so far I sucked at fighting, the only weapon that I actually liked was a sword, the others were to complex for a beginner like me. I didn't really enjoy fighting , I didn't like killing anything even if it was an ant, it was just the way I was. | |

| "Can't wait until this dance is over," I said. "Then the beach will be open"
I liked going to the beach, I mean who doesn't? I would probably be at the beach if there wasn't a dance.It's more fun to sit around there and do absolutely nothing then sitting here outside the cabins doing nothing.
