Selena and Beckendorf before the war

Chapter 1: Untrustworthy people all around me

As you can see this story will be romantic so if you hate romantic turn back now. Just a heads up its rated T for some mild kissing stuff also I do not cuss so don't expect any cussing. Thank you for picking my story and enjoy.

Selena's POV

We all stood there hearing the news about how Percy , Annabeth ,Tyson and Grover were to leave on a quest in the morning for the labyrinth. As I looked around the warm den with a fireplace going and marty gras pictures on the walls with only two couches my ADHD got the best of me and I stared at one person in particular, Charles Beckendorf. Of course I call him Charlie because he told me not to call him Charles, but I really call him that for him to notice me.

When we were walking out of the big house after the announcement was over, Charlie started walking towards me eagerly but before he can talk to me my half brothers and sisters from the Aphrodite cabin dragged me along with them. As I looked over my shoulder I saw Charlie staring at me in deep thought but was woke up by his younger half brother Jake.

Once me and my siblings got back to my cabin the only thing they wanted to talk about was the quest. Instead of gossiping about camp gossip which is usually all we ever do in our cabin, well that and make couples to break up which I don't really approve of, I sat on my bed and got lost in thinking about Charlie.

Then my sister Maggie walked over. "Is something wrong Selena you not celebrating about the quest" Maggie said in a soft way.

"I'm fine just thinking about who Percy will date if Annabeth dies" I said in that girly teen way.

"Ok" Maggie said as she jumped off of my bed with a happy tone.

How I wish I could tell someone about my love for Charlie, but no one at camp is reliable to give all my secrets out to and not worry that they will tell.

Later that night I tossed and turned in bed wondering if I'm evil to be playing with Charlie's mind like this. All I do every day is flirt with him and then ignore him I'm worse than evil I'm mean! To clear my mind and get some fresh air I got up, put on a camp half blood t-shirt and some regular pants with flip flops and walked outside into the cool midnight air.

Once I was far enough away from the cabins to not be heard on the beach I started saying my mind out loud to the world.

"Why won't he show that he likes me then maybe just maybe I would ask him out to the fireworks or something" I said looking up at the sky.

" All I'm asking is him showing just a little hint that he likes me, I know that we are different and how since I'm Aphrodite and he is Hephaestus people think its forbidden, but if he really likes me then he shouldn't care what other people would think, I know I don't" I said sadly and then plopped down in the sand.

"I feel the exact same way" a extremely low voice said behind me.

As I looked back I saw a bulky young boy about my age in swim shorts and a camp half blood tank top.

"Charlie" I said very surprised.

HA HA guess you people who actually read this are surprised now! I actually think I did well on this first chapter. My apologies on how short it is but I wanted to make it a cliff hanger but didn't know how to and I found one! YAY go me I might of actually made a good chapter. REVIEWS=CHAPTERS or maybe not I might just put a chapter in anyways it really depends. -Jenny
