“There’s really no way of winning, if in their eyes, you’ll always be a dumb blonde”

You were an Aphrodite kid. Everyone always underestimated you; Percy always underestimated you. You could never prove yourself because no one ever gave you the chance to. For some reason, you were on a quest to find Zeus’s lightning bolt. You were caught off guard, because you had never been on a quest before, but you thought that maybe this would be the chance to prove yourself; to prove that you had more to you than a pretty face.

It was the second day of your quest, and you were already being attacked by a monster. The exact moment you were about to strike, Percy pushed you out of the way — taking the monster for himself. “Oh my gods—“ you yelled, closing your eyes and pinching the bridge of your nose. “I was about to kill it!” “Oh really? Maybe you should’ve stayed back at camp to do your makeup! Quests like these aren’t for kids like you.” He scowled, an annoyed expression on his face. Gosh, maybe he’d be the end of you. Grover was eyeing the two of you, seeing the tension as clear as day. Annabeth was also eyeing the two of you.. in an annoyed sense. “Guys!” She yelled. “stop being so childish..” “Whatever..” He scoffed, shooting you one last cold glare.
