Jason pov
I should have known Drew would pull something like that. i did have my suspicions but i had no proof. i feel like an idiot, she's the most obnoxious girl ever. i don't even remember why i was with her, wait, yes i do. she threatened Thalia, even if she can do lots of cool stuff, she is powerless when it comes to charmspeak, or her being tied down on the chariot race path. i feel hands caress my shoulders. "Hello handsome." it's Drew, good, time to speak my mind.
"You cheater. i thought you said we were together, i gave into your threat to my sister, but all you've ever said was a huge piece of crude. you are the biggest loser, crappiest kisser, ugly little jerk." she gasps, her eyes flaring in anger.
"Yeah, well you have never paid attention to me!" she says,
"Because i don't like you! i never have and i never will." i say, that snaps her. she storms off and i hear a laugh. i turn to see Skylar laughing so hard her faces red.
"Nice." she says, "What did you say?"
"I said she was a cheating, little blah blah, you fill in the blanks. she got angry and i broke up with her." i reply happily,
"You never liked her, i can tell. you either wanted power or she threatened someone you love." she says, as if reading my mind, i feel my eyes widen, "She goes to my school, she rolls her kilt way too high." its such an offhand remark but it gives me time to think, then i understand.
"Thanks for telling me that, i had suspected it until you confirmed it. so what did you do the break the two up in the woods?" i ask, not sure if i want to know the answer.
"I was walking by and i saw them, i was walking by the archery station and i shot the arrow so close to Drew it almost cut of some of her hair." she smiles smugly, i feel happy that she did tell me and it made sure i didn't get hurt by Drew again. we're talking until she looks so tired that i just sent her to her cabin, but even then she stumbles, not seeing some of the rocks.
i smile and go over to my cabin and see Thalia smirking at me. "What?" i ask, she just keeps smirking and we walk into our cabin. when i enter, i sit on my bunk, immediately wanting my sisters bed. it's in an alcove out of the line of vision of the creepy Zeus statue. i sigh and go into the washroom to change. when i come out, Thalia is looking at me.
"You like her." she says simply,
"Drew? no i hate her, the only reason i dated her is because she threatened people." i blurt out before thinking.
"No you dolt, Skylar. you like her. you are smitten like a bunny, even if you won't admit it." she grins as i feel my cheeks heat. her eyes widen, "You do like her!"
"Yes, but so does everyone else, did you hear her and see her tonight, she was amazing. she's pretty and funny and i sound like an idiot rambling on about her." i mumble,
"Awww, no, i think it's sweet, but you might want to ask her out. the Aphrodite boys found out she's talented, pretty enough to be like a child of Aphrodite but they could date her, and she's rich, so the next hunt is for her." Thalia says, pity almost in her voice... almost. i mumble something about everyone being butt faces and stroll to my bed picking up a pillow and throwing it at her. she lets out a huff and swings her pillow at me. in the end, she is basically sitting on my chest, forcing me to give up.
"see, point proven, all this," i say gesturing to her, "is butt-faceness!" i exclaim, she rolls her eyes and stands up, sticking a hand in my face.
"good fight brother, and FYI you are the butt face." she meant for me to shake her hand but i end up pulling her down as i get up. she lands with a thud and she grumbles, crawling towards her bed.
Skylar pov
I feel something touching my feet, it tickles. i groan and the feeling stops. i open my eyes to see the entire cabin staring at me. "What?" i ask, purley annoyed. i look to the clock and i literally fall off my bunk. "crap breakfast." people burst into laughter as Tiara helps me up and hands me a clothing bundle. i smile at her and run to the bathroom. i come out wearing my favorite diamond earrings that are dangly earrings, made of pure gold and diamonds, a baby blue tank top, my white leather jacket that i end up tying around my waist , my white jean short shorts and my sandals. i come out and the line is clearly waiting. "Sorry." i say, they just laugh and we walk to the dining pavilion. Tiara turns to me,
"So Drew says you're good with a bow, which i have no clue how she knows. plus you look alot like our father, that proves that you are an Apollo, well, not really but it's enough for me." she laughs, i nod.
"I kind of saw her and an Apollo making out in the woods by the archery so i kind of shot an arrow at them, forcing them to stop. if she was an inch more to the left, she would have an arrow lodged in that cave she calls a head." when we get to the pavilion, a wave of whispers goes through the area, but i shrug it off, even if i have that feeling it was about me. i sit down, trying to ignore the stares but they feel like cold knives in my back. by the end of the meal, i must have been cut to pieces. i go to where Nico, Jace, Thalia, Jason, Annabeth and Percy are sitting on some benches. "Hey, do you have any ideas why i was being stared at? it was reeeeeeeeeally creepy!" i exclaim,
"Well i heard a rumor," Annabeth says and i groan, "That the Aphrodites have a new target." she says, everyone nods.
"Can we go swimming?" i ask, totally not in the mood for this conversation. there are mumbles of agreement so we disperse to change. i grab my one piece, i probably shouldn't have since it gives me weird tan lines but, whatever. it's a black halter with green and white jewels encrusted across the top, the front fabric creating an hourglass shape, leaving my sides bare, with only a cross of straps across my shoulder blades. i grab my black wrap, ipod and headphones, sunglasses, towel and my flip flops. i decide to do my hair as well, to make it easier to brush out. i pull it into an upside down ponytail but braid the remaining hair that is loose. i run to the lake to find no one there, so i lay my towel down to tan. i feel a shadow cross me, so i open my eyes to see Drew. "What do you want?" i ask.
"Revenge, because you ruined my relationship with Jason. can't you keep that mouth of yours shut." she growls, i laugh, like really laugh. she looks at me as if i am insane, which i may be.
"You were the one ruining it by making out with everyone on the football team two years in a row, kissing an Apollo in the woods and being a stuck up little brat that doesn't know when someone else has won." i say,
"Uh! thats your opinion, but you'll see, everyone will, i will have the last laugh and have Jason and still make out with anyone and everyone i want to, got it." she whines,
"Whatever floats your boat, bye Drew." i say, flipping my shades down and turning on my music. i put it on shuffle and i close my eyes. the song comes on, Demons by Imagine Dragons:
When the days are cold, And the cards all fold, yup cold hearted
And the saints we see, Are all made of gold, life is not golden right now
When your dreams all fail,And the ones we hail, my dream of being with Jason has definently failed
Are the worst of all, And the blood's run stale, no way he would go out with me
I want to hide the truth, I want to shelter you, protecting Jason from Drew
But with the beast inside,There's nowhere we can hide, i can run, but i can't hide from Drew at school, joy... (Please note sarcasm)
No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed, can't she settle with one boyfriend!
This is my kingdom come, This is my kingdom come, this is my camp too!
When you feel my heat, Look into my eyes,It's where my demons hide,It's where my demons hide, Drew is one stupid, short tempered, idiotic demon, that's for sure- my thoughts are cut short by Jason, Percy, and Nico tearing out my earbuds and dragging me towards the water. i just have time to throw my sunglasses and wrap plus kick off my flip flops befoe they throw me off the dock. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee, it's cold!" i scream, Annabeth laughs but they turn on her next. she gets thrown in, landing beside me.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee, it's cold!" she screams, i laugh but that gives her the upper hand and she dunks me. i pull a little trick and i don't come up. Percy senses this and gives me a little air bubble. i hear screams from above water, grabbing Annabeths ankle, i pull her under. i smile to myself when Percy bursts out laughing.
"if it's so funny, come in fish boy." i say mockingly, so he shrugs and jumps in, spraying everyone. in the end, Percy, Jace, Annabeth and Nico are playing marco-polo, Jason and i are talking on the dock and Thalia is scaring people by pulling on their limbs. this was an over all good day.
"Skylar, i have a question for you." Jason says, looking almost nervious.
"What is it, if you are going to say have you found Narnia, no i have failed to find it." he laughs a little,
"Will you go out with me?"
