Now that Percy is at Camp Half-Blood and is starting to understand who and what he is, he doesn’t try to explain away what happens. He might not understand how he makes the water shoot out of the toilets, but he no longer blames his ADHD for making him see things or miss things. In other words, Percy is already getting more comfortable with who and what he is. Clarisse’s bullying behavior also makes him more comfortable, as this is something he’s dealt with many times in his everyday life. In this sense, not much changes from the mortal world to the demigod camp—bullies still exist.
