Quote: Be yourself because there is no one like you

Chapter 7:

I can't give you the exact time but it has been approximately two weeks since Percy came back to camp and things couldn't be better. Luke wasn't causing trouble, that we know of, but there was just one question I wished I had been able to ask. Why had he kissed me? Did he know Percy was standing there? Did he want Percy to run away? Yes, I know that was more than one question but they are very important.

I was thinking about this as I finished Greek Myth class with an Apollo child. Why did the Apollo kids always get to be the teachers? What about Athena kids? Children of the goddess of wisdom, ring any bells. I laughed at myself. It was late afternoon so I decided to go to the beach. I usually went there when I was bored so I guess I was bored.

As I approached the sandy carpet I saw a tall black haired boy moving water with his mind. Once again I laugh to myself. I have been doing that a lot lately, I thought. Shrugging I walked down to the water.

"We had the same idea," I pointed out as I crept up next to Percy, about scaring him to Hades.

"Holy Zeus, never do that again!" Percy exclaimed making thunder pop in the distance.

"Apologize," I simply said staring at the water.

"I am greatly sorry, great thunder god Zeus," I muttered sarcastically.

"Percy..." I started.

"Fine fine, sorry Zeus for saying 'Holy Zeus'," Percy said with still a hint of sarcasm.

"Better. So, what brings you out here?" I asked looking up at Percy.

"Same reason as you: bored," he said playfully punching my arm.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath then let the wind run through my hair. The beach was so calming; I felt at home when I was near the ocean. My mother would kill me if I said that out loud so I normally kept it to myself.

"What do you want to do?" I asked, eyes still closed.

"Swim?" Percy asked.

I opened my eyes, "Swim?" I repeated. "Percy, it is like thirty degrees, I will freeze."

"Nah, not with me here. Grab my hand," Percy commanded.

I did as expected and walked into the water. Surprisingly the water wasn't cold but warm. I looked up at Percy to see a smile playing on his lips. It looked like he was trying to keep a straight face but it wasn't working. I laughed.

"You knew the water was going to be warm didn't you?" I asked knowing what the answer was.

"N-no..." Percy started.

I slapped his arm with my free hand and he acted as if it actually hurt him. I knew he was mocking me but I still thought it was cute the way he pretended. He stopped when my knees were covered in water and turned me toward him. I was confused but that all went away when he started leaning toward me. My breath stopped and I could feel my knees wobbling. Was he going to kiss me? Just as I thought it, it happened.

Percy's lips touched mine and it felt right. It felt like they were meant there. I surprised myself when I started kissing him back. It didn't last long but I think it is safe to say that I was the best kiss ever. Once Percy stopped kissing me he turned toward the water and started walking.

I didn't question it but instead kept walking. I quietly laughed to myself because Percy was so odd. He kissed me and then just said nothing-so Percy. I looked down at my shirt at it was dry. I smiled at Percy but he kept looking foreword.

"Percy, my head is about to go und-" just then my head was dragged under the waves.

I couldn't breath I was clawing my way back to the top but something was holding me down. Suddenly there was a burst of cold water then I could breath. I was panting hard, trying to catch my breath. I could hear Percy laughing.

"Shut *huff* up!" I moaned coughing up water.

"Sorry, sorry," Percy said holding his hands up innocently.

"Where *pant* are we?" I asked still out of breath.

"Look," Percy said pointing behind me.

I turned around and saw a giant shark swimming right toward me. I yelped then buried my face in Percy's chest. By the way his chest was rising and falling in a fast motion, I could tell he was laughing at me. I punched him and I actually think it hurt. That or he is a great actor.

"Is it gone?" I asked in a muffled tone.

"Yep," Percy said popping the 'p'.

I looked up at him and smiled then said:

"You planed that."

"Did no- aw screw it, yeah I did," Percy laughed.

"I knew it," I told him.

We didn't say anything for a long time but instead Percy hugged me. The view of the ocean was incredible. I looked up at Percy to see what he was doing and he was watching me. He laughed so I guess my face looked funny. Percy leaned down and kissed my forehead making me blush like a maniac. We heard a noise and I froze. I gave Percy a confused look and he didn't look like he knew what was going on either. I glanced up up and saw a figure.

"Uh, Percy?" I said pointing up.

He grabbed my hand, told me to hold my breath then broke the bubble. I didn't realize how far under the water we were until the pressure was pounding on my skull. Percy must have suspected something because he started to swim faster. We broke the surface and I was gasping for air. My head was spinning along with the room. Percy dragged me out of the water and someone ran over to us.

"What did you do to her Percy?" Thalia growled.

"Nothing," Percy said defending himself. "We were underwater and the pressure got to her."

My head was started to feel better so I looked up to see two electric blue eyes staring at me with worry. Thalia grabbed one arm and Percy the other and they helped me up.

"Thanks," I murmured rubbing my head.

"Not to sound rude or anything but what are you doing here Thalia?" Percy asked.

"Oh, Chiron wanted me to come get you guys. We are starting camp fire," Thalia delivered.

"Go ahead, we'll meet you there," Percy said as Thalia ran toward the amphitheater.

"We should go," I said.

"Yes, we should," Percy replied.

He pulled me into a kiss. I kissed him back and we fit like a puzzle piece. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I put my hands on the side of his face. The kissed lasted probably twenty seconds before I pulled away.

"Percy-" I started to stay but Percy put his finger over my mouth.

"No talking, we have to get to camp fire," Percy said pulling me along with him.

I sighed, not a mad or relived sigh, a happy sigh then ran after Percy.

AN: Well that's it. I hope you enjoyed this story because I did. Please review and I look forward to writing more stories.
