During dinner all I could think about was that stupid kiss I gave Will on his cheek. Great way to make your time here awkward Nay. So, imagine how I felt during the bonfire where the Apollo cabin leads the sing along. Yep, awkward to the max.

After the bonfire was over, I tried to get back to my cabin as quickly as possible, but somehow I ran into Will. Great. Note my sarcasm.

"Hey Pens," said Will. How come it seems that this isn't awkward for him?

"Hey Will," I said back trying to look as relaxed as him and succeeding. I mean come on I'm a spy I have some control, even if it's not over my mouth.

"Can we talk," He asked. Sure, now he looks nervous.

"Sure," I answered and gestured towards the beach. "Let's talk."


"Do you like me, Penelope?" asked Will as we walked down the beach.

I could feel myself starting to blush at that. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw Will had a slight pink tint to his cheeks that mirrored my own. I gathered my courage stopped in front of Will, making him stop, and faced him. "I definitely like you, I mean sure we just met, but I feel like I have known you forever." I said looking straight at him trying to judge his reaction. "Now, do you like me?"

"Of course," Will answered with a chuckle. I smiled back as he started to lean in…

"Wait!" I exclaimed what was I doing I'm leaving tomorrow. I can't just kiss him then leave. "I can't do this to you, Will. I…I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't want to lead you on then leave you hanging."

"What do you mean you're leaving tomorrow?" Will asked looking confused and startled.

"The only reason I came back to camp is because Annabeth is needed back home. Percy, me, and her are all leaving Friday evening, tomorrow evening."

"Then you are just going to have to spend every moment you can with me until then." Will said grinning.

"So, you're okay that I'm leaving in less than 24 hrs.?"

"As long as you spend some of those hours with me, yeah I'm fine with you leaving. I completely understand the family thing and it causing you three to leave, I've had the same thing happen to me, so I have no room to complain." Will replied, and then he gestured for me to come closer, so I did. Then he whispered, "Now, can I have that kiss?"

I laughed, "Of course." So, that's exactly what we did, and then we both said good-bye and headed toward our cabins. We had already made plans to hang out tomorrow. I couldn't wait.


"Where have you been sister dearest?" That was the first thing I heard when I came back from the bath house, after my talk with Will.

"Taking a shower," I said gesturing to the light blue towel on my head that hid my curly brown hair, until I could put my wig on. Annabeth gave me a look that said 'that-is-not-it-and-you-better-tell-me-everything'. I sighed; you can't keep anything from your twin. "After I talked with Will on the beach."

"Is that all you did?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. "A little birdie made it seem you did more than that." I scowled.

"More like two birdies," I growled as I prepared for bed. "The Stolls are dead next time I see them."

Annabeth laughed and went to get her own stuff ready before the rest of our cabin mates returned. Head counselors got first showers during their cabins time slot, so we got here before everyone else. "So, what did you talk with Will about?" My loveable sister asked.

"We just talked about stuff and things." I said trying to avoid telling her about Will and I's talk. Annabeth gave me a look. "And we might have kissed," I muttered quietly, but Annie still heard me.

"Looks like Penny got herself a boyfriend," she said mockingly with a smirk on her face.

"Whatever Annie, just got to sleep we have things to do tomorrow." I quickly dried my hair then put on the blond wig then hopped in to my bed. I pulled the covers over my head and tried to go to sleep. I had things I needed to do tomorrow.
