I was in the Goode swim area, the smell of chlorine so strong and warm it felt as if you were in another world.
The unofficial co-captain, Percy Jackson, came in. He would've been the captain but said he didn't want to let the team down and gave the position to Aria Kravis, her co-captain, officially, was Wesley West, but he did about as much good as iced lemonade in subzero weather. So, naturally, Percy was the go-to guy.
"Hey, Aaron!" Percy called. He was extremely friendly, trusting, and generally nice. The entire swim team figured he had some secrets, but we didn't pry_much.
On the swim team there were exactly sevem members, including Percy.
Me, Percy, Aria, Wesley, Harvey(a kid who could swim and seemed to know a ton about Math.), and Jake(who seemed a bit on the weird side, always drinking koolaid, Percy had compared him to a friend of his, Dakota.)
We were in the pool and I noticed Percy hadn't taken off his necklace.
"Aren't you worried the chlorine might hurt that?" I asked. I wasn't sure what his obsession with that necklace was, I just knew he never took it off.
"Waterproof," he explained. "Impossible to break. Unless the string comes undone.
"What's with that necklace, anyway?" Aria asked. "I mean you act as if taking it off would be torture!"
"It's important. I got at camp."
"What do the beads mean?" Harvey put in.
"Each year we're at camp we get a bead. Sort of a token of the summer. It gets pretty hectic a lot so we typically have a major event we can use."
"Then why go if it's so irritating?" I asked. Big mistake, he galred and said simply.
"It may be irritating to you, but for me….well I wouldn't trade it for the world."
A/N: Or immortality, either. Cute little thing. Yeah, I'm obsessed with the camp necklaces.
Review? *puppy face*
