Andi's POV
On our way to the Big House, I just couldn't help asking. "So, do you think I might be a daughter of Aphrodite?" Percy just stared at the ground for a moment. He knew I couldn't stand those bimbos.
"To be honest, I don't. You're not even close to being the child of Aphrodite. You work in the forges, not caring if you get dirty or not, you like to help me in the Pegasus stables, which they would never do. And, a real daughter of Aphrodite wouldn't be able to prank their own cabin, would they" Percy said smiling at me. When he smiled, I just felt safe. I don't know why, but maybe because it's the only smile I can recognize.
We made it to the porch of the Big House, and we walked in. Chiron was playing cards with Mr. D. "You wanted to speak with me Chiron?" I asked.
"Yes. I Iris-Messaged Mount Olympus, and Aphrodite says she did claim you, but not as her birth child" he said.
"So, what does that mean? Aphrodite like adopted Andi?" Percy asked.
"In a way, yes. Apparently, Andi, your father felt sorry for you living with your, what was the word? Oh, err, confused mother."
"Yeah, confused alright" Percy muttered. I just stared at Percy, and he shrugged.
"Go on Chiron" I said.
"Well, Aphrodite said that you lost so much that she thought, if it was alright with you, that she'd be your mother. But you wouldn't be a goddess." He added. I didn't know what to say. I mean, sure. Aphrodite wasn't that bad, just her dumb daughters. So, my choice was yes or no.
"I would really like that, so, my answer is yes." I told him. And the weirdest thing, is that Chiron or Percy didn't look surprised.
"Another thing Andi. You know Eros, right?" I nodded. "Well, seems that he is not only the Aphrodite cabin's brother, but also your. Eros is Hephaestus's and Aphrodite's son." That… I did not see coming. "I think it's time for you children to go to your next class." Chiron said, pushing me and Percy to the door.
"That was a lot to take in after breakfast." Percy said.
"Yeah. I got a new parent and a brother." To tell you the truth, I didn't want another brother. Or sister. I just lost all my brothers less than a year ago, and now I have another one?
"Andi, you okay with this? I mean, I know what you're thinking. About your brothers." Percy said. It was free-time, so we were allowed to do whatever we wanted.
"Yeah, just a little confused." I said. What was I supposed to say?
"Andi! Andi!" I heard my name being called. It was Tori.
"Talk to you later Andi." Percy said and left.
"Andi. What happened back at the mess hall?" asked Tori.
"I was adopted by Aphrodite."
"What?" So I told her everything, including the brother part. "What are you going to do? I mean, what if Eros knows that there are, or were four sons of his own father?" she asked.
"I really don't know. I'm not even sure I'll get along with this guy. His mother is the goddess of love and beauty, while my dad is the god of fire, metal work, and others things the Aphrodite cabin thinks is gross." I told her.
"Well, Eros's is the son of your dad too, so maybe he'll like the same things as you do." Tori suggested. She told me she had to do something with her brother Malcolm. So there I was, bored and confused as shit. I decided to go to the lake to talk to Percy. Hey, I was bored. I would be going to Grover to tell new jokes to, but he has other things to do. I finally reached the lake. Percy must be underwater because I didn't see him anywhere.
Percy's POV
I couldn't help thinking of what Andi asked me earlier. Do you think I might be a daughter of Aphrodite? I had to think, I mean, Andi was beautiful. But if she was a daughter of Aphrodite, I wouldn't get a chance to tell her how I actually feel about her. Yeah, you guessed it. I have a crush on Andi. And I, Percy Jackson, savior of Olympus, can't tell a girl how I truly feel. I know what most of you are thinking, "That is really sad my friend." Yeah it is, but raise you hand if you asked a girl or guy out and you were never nervous. Yeah, I thought so.
I was thinking this when I saw a figure on the dock. I swam up to the surface to find it was Andi. "And he's alive." Andi said.
"Well it's kind of hard for the son of the sea god to die in water." I said laughing.
"How long were you down there?" she asked me.
"What time is it?"
"11:28" "Around an hour.
"World record for the son of Poseidon!" I yelled.
"Slow down Michel Phelps. Technically speaking, you half-brother Triton wins, since he lives underwater." Andi said, or laughed.
"What do you think about this whole immortal brother/sister thing?" I asked. She shrugged. I knew Andi was having trouble with this, but I didn't really want this either.
"What do you think?" Andi asked me.
"To tell you the truth, I'm not looking forward to it. Your turn." I smirked. She just sighed, then looked at me with those dark brown eyes. If you really concentrated, you'd feel like your falling in them, like there's no end. And that's how I felt about her, like there's no end to stop my feelings. Andi was about to answer when the horn blew, declaring it was time for lunch. I told Andi I'd talk to her later while I walked to my cabin to get changed.
I know it was really short, but please review! I want to know if you guys like my story!
