"Who?" I asked as I walked into the living room.

    "Hey!" Anthony Chase said. I stood there shocked.

    "Wise guy!" I shouted. I quickly went over and hugged him.

    "Hey seaweed brain! How ya been?"

    "Not bad. School is boring as ever but not bad."

    We sat down on the couch and I threw my bag into a spare chair.

    "Not that I'm not thrilled to see you, but what are you doing here?"

    "Well, I had to hear from Clark about a monster attack and seeing Luke?" he asked. I blushed. I had completely forgotten to call camp!

    "Oh gods! I'm so sorry!"

    "It's fine I was just worried so I came by to make sure you were okay."

    "Yeah I'm good," I said.

    "I can see. Anything else happened since?" he asked.

    "No things have been pretty normal," I said. "How about camp?"

    "Everything is normal there. Nico has taken a liking to a lot of the camp activities."

    "Good. I was worried about him." I said.

    "Yeah, he misses you. I basically had to bribe him so he would not come with me today." Anthony said with a laugh.

    "Oh gods!" I started laughing with him.

    We heard a knock on the door.

    "Clark?" I asked.

    "I've got it!"

    "Well I miss you both," I said.

    "I was wondering if..." Anthony started to say.

    "Percy," Clark said. "Sorry to interrupt but the boys seem a little worried."

    "Boys?" I asked. It took me a minute. "Oh shoot! I was going to meet up with them today."

    "Who?" Anthony asked.

    "Us." A voice said from behind us.

    We turned around to see four very upset boys. Kaldur and Wally looked worried while Dick and Roy were glaring at Anthony.

    "Hey, guys. I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about hanging out."

    "Are you okay?" Kaldur asked, coming over slowly.

    "Yes, yes, I'm fine. Just bad at remembering dates apparently."

    "I'm sorry, Perce. I was unaware you were going out today. I should have called Clark," Anthony said.

    "No. I'm glad you came to visit," I told him. I then turned to the other boys, "Here come in, I want you all to meet!"

    Everyone in the room looked super uncomfortable.

    "Anthony this is Dick, Wally, Roy, and Kaldur," I said pointing to each of them. "Guys this is my best friend from camp, Anthony."

    "You told them about camp?" Anthony asked.

    "Yeah?" I said.

    "You told mortals about camp?" Anthony asked again.

    "Got a problem?" Roy asked glaring.

    "Camp is a secret for a reason," Anthony said.

    "It's not like I told some complete strangers," I said.
