It was a beautiful and bright Saturday afternoon, there was not a single cloud in the sky, there was a gentle breeze, and being the daughter of the god of summer lets just say days like this and I get along great. Since it was a weekend, training, or Greek lessons were finished before lunch and we were left to do whatever we pleased.
A great number of campers, consisting mostly of the children of Aphrodite, Apollo, Notus, and the lone child of Poseidon, were at the beach either playing in the refreshing water, getting a tan, or playing volleyball. The daughters of Demeter were having their annual weekend garden club, some of Hermes's children were planning a raid on the camp store led by the mischievous Stoll brothers, and the rest were just hanging around spending their time with their friends.
I was at the beach sunbathing with Annabeth. I know what you're thinking, what the hell is Annabeth doing sunbathing? Well two words, Percy Jackson. Percy was swimming, well more like scuba diving, and being the good girlfriend she was, Annabeth decided she would accompany him at the beach.
I liked Annabeth, even though she was two years younger than me, she sometimes acted more mature than I did.
"So how's your new home?" Annabeth asked me propping on her shoulders and facing me.
"It's really beautiful…but honestly? I miss the Hermes cabin" I sighed, propping on my shoulders as well.
"You don't like it there?"
"What? Of course I do, have you been inside its like a modern day cabana! Its just that I've been here for 5 years, 4 and a half of those I spent at the Hermes cabin,and yes, I hated having to sleep on the floor with a dusty sleeping bag and not having an actual closet to put my things in but at least—"
"At least you're around good friends and you're never bored."
Annabeth and I looked at whom the voice belonged to and weren't surprised to find a dripping wet Percy Jackson.
"Exactly! Especially with those damn Stoll brothers who overheard that the chain of my necklace is actually made of real gold."
"You love them." Percy teased, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend.
Annabeth blushed and Percy just buried his face in her hair.
"Oh-kay, I'm starting to feel like I'm your chaperone, have fun kids." I said suggestively at both of them, laughing at their beet red faces.
Gathering my things and shaking out the sand off my honey blonde hair I walked back to my cabin.
My cabin looked like the ultimate beach house, it could've easily been confused with Poseidon's cabin if you were new in camp but it was a bit more homey, and there was always an aura of warmth around it.
I opened the door finding the cabin empty.
Go figures, of course they're all still at the beach.
I dropped my things at my bed, grabbed a towel and headed to my bathroom. The perks of having few, four to be exact, half siblings, we never had to worry about overpopulation that during the construction of our cabin we were able to convince Chiron that we could each have our own personal bathroom.
After a long and calming hot shower and changing into a sundress and a pair of wedges I sat on my vanity plaiting my long tresses while humming an old Greek lullaby. Pleased with my appearance I grabbed a random book and decided to sit at the comfiest couch on our front porch reading it.
Halfway through my book, well quite frankly, I got bored.
Getting into a much more comfy position in the couch my eyes scanned around camp. Landing on my friend Austin and a new camper?
He looked about my age, sandy blonde hair, tan skin, and wow this guy was hot.
He was obviously a son of Apollo, boy was the spitting image of the god, well from what I've heard.
Was boy even the right word? I wondered to myself my head tilting to one side in wonder.
And then all of a sudden his blue eyes were staring directly at my blue eyes.
Which probably twice the size they usually were because I just realized i was staring at him.
Oh fuck!
He said something to Paul, probably asking who the creepy lunatic staring at him was, when I mentally gave myself a quick lecture.
Okay Morgana, stop being creepy and just read your book, don't even glance up again okay?
As smoothly as I possibly could I got my book and began reading again, okay I wasn't really reading, I was so embarrassed about staring that I just pretended to be reading the book. I spared another glance and almost regretted it, they were walking towards me.
Well, might as well be welcoming, hmm how do I go? Hey I'm Morgana! Sorry about eye stalking you a few minutes ago, I'm not like that really, wanna be friends?
Taking a deep breath, I placed my book down and walked towards them with a friendly smile.
"Hey Austin."
"hey." Austin replied with his big cheshire cat grin.
"I'm Morgana Knight." this time facing his companion reaching my hand to him.
He took it with a smile before replying "Yeah, I'm uhh Paul."
When his hand touched mine I suddenly felt a warmth overcome me. Is this a child of the sun god thing?
"Paul?" I asked
"Oh, uh Paul Lowskee." he said rather shyly
I stifled a laugh, biting my lip.
"Yeah it's kind of ridiculous."
"God I'm so sorry that was rude, so you're new here at camp?"
" Yeah I just got in about two hours ago."
"So how do you like your cabin?"
"How'd you know I already belong to a cabin?"
"You're still holding my hand." I said softly, avoiding his question. Because my answer would've been creepy.
Oh, because I've kind of been staring at you and from what I've gathered, you are the spitting image of the sun god.
He chuckled a bit before reluctantly letting go, and then the warmth just left like that.
"Sorry I've been told I have boundary issues.'
I laughed at that, quirking an eyebrow. I was about to reply, when someone cleared his throat beside us.
It was Austin looking very uncomfortable, causing me to feel embarrassed and ashamed of ignoring Austin, who was like one of my good friends here at Camp-Half Blood.
"Well it was nice meeting you." I told Paul casually, " So I'll catch you guys later?" this time acknowledging Austin as well, before climbing the short three steps up our porch, grabbing my book and walked toward the cabin.
When I reached the door I heard Paul call out behind me
"Please remove the s, I will take you for your word, Till we meet again."
I laughed loudly at this.
"Seriously? 'Please remove the s, I will take you for your word, Till we meet again'" turning to face him and okay a slightly annoyed Austin.
"You wound me Morgana." he said innocently faking hurt but his eyes showed the exact opposite.
"Goodbye Paul." I said still smiling before shutting the door behind me.
Laughing silently to myself, I plopped down to my bed, giggling a bit when all the little insignificant pillows fell to the floor, before moving into a much more comfortable position.
Before being washed over by sleep I only had one thought in my mind.
I like the way he says Morgana
