Leo POV

"Hey! What up loser?"

Ugh. Jo' Nathan. I hate him. Irritating Athenian spawn.

Jo' Nathan stepped out from the shade of the Hecate cabin and slowly walked toward me.

I tried not to grimace as his rotten breath bitch slapped me in the face.

I paused in my walk to the bunker, trying not to drop valuable blueprints and equipment.

"Yes. Jo'Nathan. What a wonderful surprise." I stated hollowly. I eyed his black hair, and decided to dye it yellow again.

"My sister told me that you tried talking to her again. How many times have I told you that speaking to lower intelligence like you is very degrading for her?" He sneered.

No, I think his gray eyes would look better pink instead. Just get a water gun and squirt paint in his face. No hazards. Except being permanently blind, but who cares?

"Very many times." I comment.

He scowled. "Stay away from Annabeth. She will never like you. Gods, I can't even believe that you think that any girl here would want a miserable fag like you. Just go ahead and kill yourself, less work on me."

Nuh-uh, hold up.

"First off, ouch. Second, don't be mean, I'm not gay. Third, Annie can't touch this even if she was Aphrodite butt naked. She ain't getting none of ALL DIS CURVACEOUSNESSNESS."

Jo'Nathan snarled and stepped closer. Oh gods, if I wasn't immune to heat, his hot breath would have melted my face off.

"I don't know who you think you're talking to. And 'CURVACEOUSNESSNESS' isn't even a word. Maybe if you actually try being smarter, you might catch yourself a girl." Jo'Nathan snapped.

People were starting to crowd, and some were even recording us on their phones. But I was hot.

"I've GOT me a girl. In fact, I've got myself a GODDESS. MAYBE IF YOU TRY BEING LESS MORONIC, I MIGHT GIVE YOU A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO NOT BE A TOTAL JACKASS." I sassed.

"STOP BEING STUPID, NO GODDESS WOULD WANT YOU. ITS ANNOYING HOW YOU THINK-"

"SHUT UP! DO NOT CRITICISE MY ABILITY TO ANNOY. IT IS A GIFT!" I yelled. The demigods snickered.

Jo'Nathan shook his head and glared at me.

"Stop being so stupid, Valdez. Everybody hates you. Like I said earlier, just go kill yourself so I don't have to."

You'd expect the crowd to gasp and think, Who would say such a thing?!

But. Yes, but.

This is Camp High-Hell. They don't do that here. They laughed. Loud.

I could feel my eyes light on fire. I threw down my blueprints and equipment.

Jo'Nathan backed up a couple steps. The crowd quieted.

"If i was stupid," I spoke softly, despite my anger and glowing eyes, "I would actually kill myself. But I won't. If I was stupid, would I have finished high school when I was 12? No, I wouldn't have. But I did. If I'm stupid, then why am I the only person in this idiotic camp that saw that we are on the EDGE OF WAR?!"

As I expected, they all let out shocked gasped and small screams, because guess what, they don't know what to do at war.

"Yep. That's right, soak it all in. Chiron wanted to keep you in the dark, because that is what a bullshit mentor he is. But don't worry. Sadly this VERY STUPID PERSON RIGHT HERE, YEAH ME, THE ONE YOU CALLED STUPID- I CALLED FOR BACKUP TO SAVE ALL YOUR WORTHLESS ASSES."

My hair and both my hands lit on fire then. I started walking closer and closer to Jo'Nathan, who still tried to back away but ended up falling on his butt.

"So if you EVER try to call me out for something as STUPID as calling me stupid, I will happily take my battle plans, my battleship, and my warriors, and LEAVE YOUR SORRY ASSES TO DIE!" I kicked him in the side as I let my anger blow.

Suddenly, I heard screams and explosions behind me.

I whirled around and see everybody's phones exploding one by one. I could even hear yelling and curses behind everybody.

"AHHH! WHAT THE FUCK, MY PHONE JUST EXPLODED!" Jason.

"VALDEZ!"

Clarisse barged through the crowd, shoving people over and pushing some down.

I blanched. Jo'Nathan scrambled away.

"You fried my laptop AGAIN!" She screeched.

I stuttered. "Well..." Then she looked around and saw all the smoking phone pieces laying on the grass.

Then she gazed at me intently. "Dude. You just made all the phones in camp burn." She stated.

"So?"

She gave me a pointed look. Oh.

"Well, I couldn't control it! It's like...." I trailed off. I turned toward the hill.

"It's like..."

A large boom was heard, then the ground shook. A loud screeching noise was made as we watched a giant crack appear in the earth on Half-Blood hill.

It came down the hill, twisted and turned, then stopped right between my feet.

Then as if on tv, it rewinded, the crack sealing, twisting and turning back up the hill until it disappeared.

The noises stopped, and the ground stopped shaking. My necklace rose from my chest and yanked me forward. I stumbled.

"Well, then." I smirked.

"That would be my reinforcement now."
