Order and Chaos: Chapter 17

Chapter 17 

"Timbactu?" Trip askea, puzzled. "Why the random word?"

Ryan, the boy in the blue hoodie in front of her smiled. He looked like he had to deal with this kind of reaction from newbies constantly. "Well before Table 3 was set up, the Second-Generation demigods were split into girls and guys because the Camp pretty much didn't know how to deal with them."

"We decided that they didn't want that." Amanda, a pretty girl with pink dyed hair, and one of the oldest in Timbactu continued. "So they made a new group. We called ourselves 'Team Back' becauase we always stood behind everyone else."

"Unfortunately, Mr D, being the party spoiler that he is didn't like that idea. So he forbid Team Back completely. However, as more and more Second-Generation demigods came to camp, they couldn't help but make a third table for them. Thus Team Back was back." Ryan continued.

"And since the Team Back at that time was not the same Team Back when we started, we renamed ourselves Team Back 2." Amanda finished. "We've been saying it a lot so we just end up shorting it to Timbactu."

"Seems legit." Trip smiled.

"But without the presence of the members of Timbactu in the first two tables." Nolan, the counsellor of Table 3 added. "Those tables were pretty much transformed into Table "Jocks" and Table "Stuck-up-I'm-so-popular-bow-down-to-me-girls."

Nolan turned to Trip. "But that's not us. We're where the fun is at. Right guys?!" The night exploded into cheering from the members of Timbactu.

When they got to the dorm room, which was essentially a big building with a roof on top, Nolan said, "Remember 8 is when activies start, get up early so you can get there before the lines start." He pointed a finger at Trip. "You don't have a room do you?"

"Not yet." Trip replied.

Nolan rubbed his chin. "I guess we have enough room on the roof." He turned inside the dorm and shouted "Hey Ryan! You got spare sleeping bag?! Trip has a spot on the roof!"

"Very funny Nolan." Tiffany mused. "My roommate just left for college so I have a spare bed. C'mon Trip." She motioned Trip to follow her.

"Have a good night girls." Nolan said.

"You too!" Trip replied.

"Welcome to my room." Tiffany said, putting her hands out as if to display the room.

The room was pretty much divided in half. Tiffany's side was filled with books, lots of it.

It filled up the book shelves, the floor and some were stacked up on the bed.

Tiffany finally noticed the mess in her room, her face turned the same red as her hair. "I'm sorry. I should probably clean up." She got to her knees to pick up the books on the floor.

"No it's okay." Trip said. Tiffany was still blushing, she simply crumpled on top of her bed and took a book to read.

"So...whatcha reading?" Trip asked trying to make small talk.

Tiffany turned to her, eyebrow raised. "Do you read?"

"Not much of a reader sorry." Trip admitted. "Never could sit still enough because of the ADHD."

"Oh. So..what did you like to do then?"

"Mechanical stuff. Cars mostly."

"Ah legacy of Hephaestus. Makes sense." Tiffany said. "Well the book's about a man who is forced to find between the light and dark within him."

"Sounds interesting."

"Yeah it is." Tiffany agreed. "You could always listen to the audiobook of it. That way you don't have to sit still-" She was cut off by the sound of knocking of the window. She gasped in suprised when she saw it was Allen.

"It's the 5th floor how in the world did he get up here?" She asked.

"Al. What are you doing here?!" Trip exclaimed. Allen motioned for her to open the window. She tried too but it didn't budge.

"I can't open it!" She said. Allen tried saying something, the window apparently blocked sound too.

"Al I can't hear you!" She mouthed in frustration. Allen managed read her lips. He thought about it for a sec, then he pointed to the roof and continued to climb upwards.

Trip turned to Tiffany. "I need to get to the roof."

Tiffany looked at her to see whether she was serious. Tiffany sighed, "Hang on." Tiffany picked up her phone and made a call. "Gig? We need a code 3."
