I am Given a Pointy Object

  I walked slowly through Camp Half-Blood and sighed a dreamy, happy, sigh.  Life seemed extremely amazing, and the best thing was that it didn't just SEEM amazing, it truly was.  I was just lackadaisically walking around, waiting for my next class to start, when Annabeth walked past, then she noticed me and turned.


  "Hey!" she said to me, smiling.


  "Yo!" I replied.


  She laughed.  "Hey, do you have your weapon yet?"


  My eyes grew wide for what seemed to be the hundredth time in the last few days.  "You TRUST ME with a pointy object?" I shouted, which drew a lot of campers' eyes to me.


  Annabeth seriously burst out in a fit of laughter.  "Should I?" she asked after recovering from her laughing fit.


  "Good question." I said simply.


  "Well, let's find out!" she started walking towards something that looked like a normal shed, but being a camp for demi-gods, I doubted it was just a shed with tools and pots for flowers.


  She opened the door and all around the walls were all sorts of weapons, knives, swords, bows and arrows, and things that were unclassified to a girl like me.  "Holy poop." I uttered.  "I'm scared."


  She laughed lightly.  "Don't be.  Now, I'll help you pick a weapon with what suits you best, alright?"


  "Righty-o!" I responded, feeling really dorky.


  She looked around, and a beautiful, glistening bow and arrow caught my eye.  It looked like it had seen battle before, and that it had done a good job.  I pointed to it, a grin on my face.  "That one." I stated simply.


  Annabeth smiled.  "You know, nothing would suit you better."  I then tried to picture myself with a large sword, looking awkwardly small.


  She took it off the shelf and handed it to me.  It felt perfect in my hands and my mind clicked.  I all of a sudden knew what to do, and got a volley of arrows ready.


  Annabeth put her hand up, signaling for me to stop.  "Whoa there, let's go to the archery range so you don't end up shooting someone important."

  We walked off to the archery range and my heart skipped a beat.  This place looked so amazing, I wanted to randomly start shooting everything with my lovely arrows.  My eyes were sparkling.

  "Whoa now, Caro!" Annabeth said.  "No shooting the trees, the nymphs would be really miffed."

  "Oh my gods, am I really that easy to read?" I asked, laughingly.

  "Nah, I can just tell you're excited . . . but that's a good thing!" she said.  "Now, why don't you shoot that arrow and try to hit the target?"

  I concentrated and shot the arrow.  It basically hit the center, and I jumped up an down.  "HOLY COWS!"

  Chiron, the horse man, came up.  "Well done, Carolyn!"

  "THANK YOU!" I responded with enthusiasm and shot another arrow.

  "Someone's excited." He smiled at me.

  "Gods, I AM easy to read!" I said, putting my head in my hands.

  Chiron looked confused, but Annabeth laughed.

  Yep, life was definitely perfect.
