Octavian was starving by the time lesson number one was over. apparently he hadn't eaten breakfast and it was about lunch time so Percy figured he'd just sneak the 20 year old some food but NOOOOOO Octavian HADDDD to be clingy.
"Please don't leave me alone here I promise I'll be good can I come with you please please please?"
"No people will notice."
"So?"
"Fine but you have to disguise yourself."
"Why?"
"You're in a bad place right now. People think that you're not a good person and you are you will be don't worry, but you can't go out undisguised into camp until its perfectly safe for you. Okay?"
"Okay." He sounded like a four year old. Percy tossed him a camp half blood hoodie and a pair of blue sunglasses. Octavian beamed.
"I like the color blue!"
"Good to know." Percy muttered. How did he get stuck babysitting this dork? He hated this dork.
He dragged the scarecrow kid to the pavilion and showed him how to act and sacrifice food.
"I suppose you'll sacrifice to Apollo. I sacrifice to Poseidon because he is my dad." Percy explained. Octavian seemed to get it. They sat down and Percy decided, hey why not, give the amnesiac a thrill. He showed him the magic cups and purposefully turned Octavian's sprite (as his teacher he wasn't trusting him with caffeine) bright blue. Octavian grinned. Percy appreciated his enthusiastic audience but hoped he hadn't been that annoying as an amnesiac. If he had been then no wonder Octavian had hated him.
They were both chowing down when someone came over.
"Hey Percy!"
"Rachel!" He stood and hugged her.
"You back from Clarion?"
"Ugh yes. I deserve this."
"I know, poor thing. You can attack a titan guy with a hairbrush but exams bring you to your knees." She nodded and laughed tiredly.
I'm gonna go nap, catch up with you at campfire."
"Bye Rach!" She ran off and he sat back down with Octavian.
"Who that?" The boy asked timidly. He'd been staring at them, at Rachel, the whole time, his food mostly uneaten.
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare, camp oracle. You'd probably like her."
"I already do." He said with a sigh. Percy gaped, then groaned. Uh own. Crushes made people do unpredictable, stupid things. Especially amnesiac people.
He'd have to keep a close eye on that infatuated idiot. Not many better people then Rachel though... Unfortunately he had a feeling that it would end in heartbreak and all reform lessons would be rendered useless. He realized now he might be playing matchmaker as well as teacher- he definitely needed help.
