I don't own anything! Enjoy!
"Evie!" A voice called to me as I walked to my cabin, after Annabeth's performance.
I turn around and see Connor Stoll, (or as Naomi called him, Halfblood Hottie) sprinting towards me. Connor had been all I heard about from Naomi. She may be my best friend, but this girl has to stop obsessing. From what I heard, Connor and Naomi had been flirting endlessly since they were 14. I turn around, "Yes?"
"Do you have a date for the fireworks next week?" He asked.
"Um...no." I answered uneasily.
"Do you maybe wanna go with me?"
I wasn't going with anyone, but Naomi would flip. We can go as friends so what the heck, "Sure, I'll go with you."
"It's a date, pick you up at 6:30?" He asks.
"Sounds great." I nod. He walks away, what the hell did I just get myself into?
O.O.O
"Naomi?" I call into the into the cabin.
"I'm here, Come watch Safe Haven with me!"
I walk to the mini living room, and plop down on the hot pink sofa.
"What's up Ev?" She asks.
Alright Evelyn you can do it, I attempted to convince myself. I took a deep breath, Naomi's brown eyes just stared up at me, "Connor asked me to the fireworks." I blurted out.
She stares, an unreadable look on her face. First confusion, then hurt, and then relief.
Wait - relief?
"Evie, it's okay. I already have a date, btw I'm sorta over Connor, feel free to go out with him. Just not with Hunter from Ares." She says, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
I seriously question what goes on in that child's head. "You sure?" I ask one more time.
"Positive. Now Evie dearest hush up, Josh Duhamel is speaking."
I nod, and just go to the girls side of the cabin, I had a free hour. "Naomi, I'm going to the creek." I call before walking out.
O.O.O.
I walk silently. And suddenly, I was planning my outfit for the fireworks. Woah there Evie, lets not get ahead of ourselves. I see a dark figure sitting under a tree, earbuds in.
He smiles when he sees me coming, "Sup Evie!"
"Nico." I say politely.
"So, you going to the fireworks next week?" He asks.
"Yeah, actually I am."
"You...have a date?"
Were the shit was this going?
"Yes, Connor."
"Stoll? Evie your wasting your time. Don't go with him he's a total prick." He says.
Hold up, Who was he to tell me who to go out with? My father?
"Thanks Nico, but I think I can make decisions for myself." I answer annoyed.
"Evie I'm just looking out for you, I don't-"
He never finished because in that moment I decided to go all broadway on him.
Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter,
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!
(Who was he to tell me who I should go to the fireworks?)
Don't tell me not to fly-
I've simply got to.
If someone takes a spill,
It's me and not you.
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade!
(So what if I get hurt? At least I'll learn my lesson.)
I'll march my band out,
I'll beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir.
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!
But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection,
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion,
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye,
I gotta fly once,
I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy,
Juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love,
cause I'm a commer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!
(I was a demigod, might as well start taking risks like one.)
I'm gonna live and live now,
Get what I want-I know how,
One roll for the whole show bang,
One throw, that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and BAM
Hey, Mister Arnstein,
Here I am!
I'll march my band out,
I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out,
Your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it.
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.
Get ready for me, love,
'cause I'm a commer,
I simply gotta march,
My heart's a drummer.
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!
(Nope, not today. I was gonna shine next week.)
I finished with a bang. Nico stared at me, "Evie I'm sorry I care about you and your feelings. So if you wanna go with Connor who am I to stop you, enjoy yourself when he decides to ditch you, for some random slut."
He storms off, quite dramatically. Like he knows anything. I can take care of myself.
Please review, and request songs! Have an awesome Summer!
XOXO Adalia
