I was sitting outside the Aphrodite cabin like I usually do on a Saturday afternoon. I wasn't like all the other girls in the cabin. I didn't just go after any boy with a pulse. There was one boy I was interested in his name was Luke. The reason I sit outside my cabin on Saturdays is you can see across to his.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a stalker or anything. But I just don't know how to talk to Luke. Or how to act when he's around. So I just keep my distance. The other girls have tried to help me out. They're all like Jessi just tell him how you feel. They don't understand how difficult it is for me.
The appearance of a dark shadow brought me out of my thoughts. I looked up and who should be standing over but Luke Castellan.
"Hey Jessi," he said smiling at me.
"H-Hey Luke," I stuttered out looking up at him. "What's happening?"
"Nothing much. You?"
"Nothing much. Just thinking."
"About?"
"The fourth of July fireworks show."
Someone called Luke from the Hermes cabin. He looked up to see what was wrong.
"I got to go," he said. "Why don't you sit by me during the sing along I have something I want to talk to you about?"
"Sure," I said.
"See you then," he said jogging off to find out what was wrong.
"Yeah," I called. "See you then."
I nearly fainted. Luke wanted me to sit with him during the sing along. What was I going to wear? I ran into the my cabin and started tearing through my stuff to find the right outfit. My cabinmates all looked up.
"What's with you?" asked my best friend Melinda Abbott. She was the only person I told about my crush on Luke.
"You know who asked me to sit with him during the sing along," I told her.
"We have to find you the right outfit. Are you going to ask him to the fireworks?"
"I thinks so. Maybe. But what should I wear."
In the end I found the most perfect outfit. It was a cool tank top that showed off the freckles on my shoulders. With a flowly knee length skirt. And these perfect Minolla Blanics that are to die for if I may say so myself. I walked over to were Luke was sitting and sat down. He smiled at me and started to say something when the singing began. So he decided to wait. We sang a couple of songs. Chiron made a few anouncements and then the sing along was over.
Luke looked a little nervous. This wasn't like him at all. Usually Luke was confident and nothing could shake him.
"What's up Luke?" I asked wondering what was wrong with him.
"Well," Luke began, "I was wondering if you would be willing to go to fourth of July fireworks with me?"
"Sure," I squealed. "I was actually just going to ask you that."
"Ok. It's a date."
A couple of weeks pass and finally it is time for the fourth of July fireworks. Luke walked over to my cabin and picked me up. Not like actually picked me up and carried me but you know what I mean. We walked to Long Island Sound and there waiting for us was lovely little picnic basket.
"Aw," I said impressed at his thoughtfulness. "Luke that's so sweet of you."
"Thanks," said Luke.
So we sat down and eat and watched the fireworks. Just as the finally was beginning Luke leaned over and kissed me. And it was as if nothing or no one else in the world exsisted but us.
After the fireworks Luke walked me back to my cabin and kissed me good bye. I would never forget this date as long as I live.
"Jessi," called one of my cabinmates, "turn off the light."
I got to go diary.
I close my diary and turn off my bedside light and go to sleep and dream of more dates like the one I just went on with Luke.
The End
