Hey guys. So about a month ago when I was reading HoH and Jason brought up his subconscious 'list' I was like, this is a FF waiting to happen. So I took the initiative.

Enjoy!

Jason's List: Choice Seating

Thirteen year-old Jason Grace plops down on long couches of Camp Jupiter's dining hall, absolutely exhausted.

Training was hard, and Hagar, the sword-fighting instructor and daughter of Honos has been going increasingly harder on him since his last birthday.

Yeah, it was great to finally be a teenager, but his physical appearance is not going to change overnight. The sports instructors don't seem to understand that.

Bobby, Dakota, Ephraim, and Jamaica all sandwich him in the center of the couch. They mumble their respective greetings and dive into their lunches. Jason slowly lowers his burger to his plate and tries to ignore to overwhelming stench of sweat from workout time.

Goodbye, sweet serenity. Hello, slightly annoying friends.

But anyways, Jason was absorbing himself in the mundane chatter of his surrounding peers when he notices a girl sit on the edge of the couch a few rows away from him, seemingly trying to stay as far away from everyone else as possible.

Jason recognizes the girl as the person who was claimed into the third cohort earlier that morning. She came into Camp stumbling, clothes ripped and drenched in monster powder. Now she was cleaned up, in an oversized Camp Jupiter tee shirt and jeans, as if she wanted to cover up as much of her body as possible.

She was fairly pretty, but what struck Jason was her eyes: Solid black. Her pupils were a shade darker, so it didn't look creepy. Her long, black hair was tossed in a messy ponytail, and she was nibbling on a tortilla chip.

Jason had a sudden urge to sit by her. She looked lonely and tragically sad, and she probably needed a friend.

But no, of course, you had to sit with your cohort. And only your cohort. But even so, Jason vows that he will introduce himself to her later.

Subconsciously, Jason adds another bullet to his list of things to change about Camp Jupiter when he becomes praetor.

Choice seating.
