Mistakes he made- Chapter 3- Unexpected
The Apollo cabin was always loud. Lydia awoke to a tearful song about break-ups with her sister, who wailed on and on about 'missing you so dearly'.
It would have been quite a good song if it hadn't been frequently interrupted by choked sobs, Apparently her sister's with the son of Hephaestus had come to an end.
No more bouncing shoes for us.
Lydia only patted the distraught girl on the head and then made the difficult journey of getting from the bed, to the bathroom.
There were papers everywhere in this cabin. Poems, lyrics, music sheets, science and medical research… anything that made these kids, Apollo kids. Keep in mind though, if you accidentally destroyed any of these papers; serious stuff would go down.
Beatles' albums were smashed, songbooks were burned and just about a hundred musical instrument casualties.
But everybody was in a very good mood today. You know why?
Because Apollo won capture the flag yesterday. Well technically, the other cabins in the team won too, but it was an Apollo kid who got the flag. Therefore today, the cabin was on a high.
The same couldn't be said for the Hermes' cabin four doors down. Luke woke up sweaty and uncomfortable, caused by the lack of windows around.
He could hear the 10 and 12 year old Stolls laughing hysterically at his head, their 'prank' succeeding. Luke didn't mind though. As long as these kids were happy. In contrast to when they first got to camp, 2 confused children with a severely injured satyr stumbling along with them. They barely spoke in the first couple of weeks, up until Luke gave them a kid's pranking book. Since then the two boys looked up to Luke like an older brother.
He thought about this as he got up. He thought about how those two lived up to their father's name, and suddenly he remembered.
"Travis, Connor, I need you guys to do me a favour."
Meanwhile in Apollo's cabin, everyone was now awake and Lydia was dressed in her usual camp shirt and denim shorts. The counsellor, and coincidentally famous country singer, was sorting out the schedule for uses in the mini recording booth situated by the bathroom. It took both the boys and girls of the cabin a year worth of busking to install. Everybody loved it to pieces.
"Alright guys! Let's go to breakfast!"
As they filed out, Lydia looked for her crying sister and yanked her to breakfast too.
The Stolls were protesting.
"We didn't take it Luke, we swear!"
"Ahh." He tapped his chin. "My sources tell me otherwise."
"Why do you care?"
"Because it's that girl Lydia's."
"That's her name? How do you know her?"
"I don't know her and it doesn't matter, give it to me."
But they were persistent and curious. Additionally, they also wanted to know about the relationship between Luke and Lydia. Questions fired. Travis and Connor drilled relentlessly. Travis & Connor. Travis & Connor.
"How do you know her?"
"She's really cool Luke."
"Did she beat you up?"
"I bet she did."
Luckily, Luke was very persuasive.
"You give me back the necklace, and it'll get you a signed copy of Jackie's CD you can sell."
The two brothers looked at each other, then to their blonde half brother. "Deal," they said unison, thrusting their necklace onto Luke's lap. And then they ran away.
Lydia scraped some of her food into the fire. Hey dad. How are you doing? Would you mind using your cool godly powers to get my necklace back maybe. And it'll be nice to talk to me and the others. Stuff is getting bad with Mum again, so I really need your advice.
She opened her eyes and walked back to the table to join her siblings, only to walk into somebody. She looks up and realise it's the very hot, very attractive Son of Hermes.
