User blog:TheWiseOne/Matt - New Beginning

Matt sat down at the Hermes table with the rest of the crazy Hermes kids. He had changed out of his soaked clothes, into some old worn jeans, his Camp shirt and black TapOut sneakers. Matt pulled an old photograph from his pocket: a picture of him and his parents in Central Park, on vacation. His dad with his blonde hair shimmering in the sunlight, matching his blue eyes, laying next to Matt, with his mom laying on the other side, her brown hair in a ponytail, smiling. Matt lay in the centre, holding his arms in the air, taking the picture.

"Mama's boy." Someone snickered across the table. Matt shoved the photo back in his pocket. He glanced across the dining hall, to the Hephaestus table. David sat, in fresh clothes, laughing with his brothers and sisters. Matt looked around at his brothers and sisters and wanted to be anywhere else. Next, he looked at Jessie at the Athena table. She and two other campers, Chris and Roslyn, were at the far end, talking and laughing and having a good time. Matt smiled and waved. Jessie looked up and smiled, her face red from laughing. Matt looked down at the photo, hiding it under the table. Matt hadn't seen his parents in two years, when his mom had dropped him off at school and never picked him up.

"Hey," someone nudged him on the shoulder. He looked up at a thin, bruised up kid. "I'm Patrick." He extended his arm. Matt shook his hand. Patrick had deep, brown eyes and thick black hair. "I'm new here. I just got here yesterday. What's your name?"

It's not finished, I'll finish it soon! I promise! ~Wise <3
