Archery With Charlie
After Breakfast I have archery, which I'm fairly good at. My mental diagrams calculate the wind and I hit the bullseye every time.OK, maybe I'm more than 'fairly' good at it, but modesty is a virtue, right?
Percy always makes a point to 'accidentally' shoot Charlie. (Just a little bit of friendly sibling rivalry, right?). I ignore them mostly, because (1) Percy is an idiot and (2) Charlie has a way of fitting Leo's awesomeness into every conversation. So I pick the target farthest from them and focus on the straw-stuffed scarecrow target thing. I hear Percy yelling some friendly insult at Charlie and I miss. I focus on the scarecrowthing again, picturing Percy's face where the head is. A silvery note appears next to his face: Complete Idiot. I hit him right in the heart---Bullseye!
"Nice Shot!" Piper says next to me.
"Thanks." I smile.
I have lunch next, but Riley brings me a sandwich because I've had to clean the stables since that incident with Misty :(. I finshed bathroom duty a week ago and I hope I never smell a centaur dropping again.
Riley has a cabin to herself because there aren't many children of Eut-whatshername, and she's lucky because the guy across from me in the Athena cabin snores. But it's not like I can do anything about it.
Oh, Athena, if you could do one thing for me, can you kill Duncan? He snores.
Yeah. I think I'll wear earmuffs to sleep tonight.
