Thank you to all who reviewed! If you are reading this, REVIEW! As you can see, I don't have many reviews, so every one counts! This next chapter will be about what Josh was doing when Bayleigh and Demitri were in the Apollo cabin.
Josh POV
Bayleigh passed by me, but as soon as she saw me, she looked away and pretended not to notice me. What did I do?I kept walking in the direction I was going: to the Apollo cabin. I saw Bayleigh and Chiron sword fighting, none of them really winning yet. I saw the Apollo cabin, and began to walk towards it. It was 3:33. I was about 20 yards away when I saw Bayleigh walking toward the Apollo cabin, too. Huh. She doesn't look mad. I decided to still stay where I was, anyway. Just in case. She walked up the steps and went through the door. I heard muffled voices inside.
What are they talking about? I crept closer. And closer. So close, in fact, that I was at the screen door. I could see Bayleigh reading out of something. A book? I put my nose up to the screen. Oh, a notebook! She read:
"From the way your eyes sparkle,
To the way you look at me
You love everything you do
But I love everything you are"
What?! Why is she reading that to him?! Not that I'm jealous. Yeah, right. Josh doesn't do jealous. At this point, I had gotten frustrated and began to walk back to my cabin.
Bayleigh POV
Demitri snatched it out of my hands. "No one."
"Come on. Who am I going to tell?"
"I...um, got to go."
"Wait," I called. He was already out of the cabin. Deja vu.
I picked up the notebook again. I reread it. It really was beautiful. Whoever he was writing this about is a lucky girl. At least I hope it's a girl. But I quickly shook the thought out of my head. No. Demitri was not gay. These things just did not work like that. Did they? I sat there for I don't know how long, on his bed, with the notebook in my lap. I realized what I was doing and I walked out of the cabin and into the night air.
I checked my watch. It was 6:30. I walked over to the beach and sat down in the sand. So many memories... This was where Demitri and I had been sitting before we went to consult the Oracle for our Quest. This was where I first discovered my powers. This was where I spent my fist night at camp. But this was also the place where I cried for the first time in a long time. It was also the place where Josh got frustrated with me and left. Josh. Which made me think of other thing I shalt not record.
I stripped off my tank top and shorts, revealing a white bikini, and plunged into the water. When I surfaced, I made the current push me forward, and just glided through the water. Then I let the current have a break, and I swam. And swam. And swam. And swam. Like I never had before. Until I couldn't breathe. I floated on my back, controlled my breathing, then swam again. I plunged into the water, but this time I didn't come up. I just sat at the bottom of the ocean, running my hands through the sand. Seeing as I'm a daughter of Poseidon, I don't have to rush. I finally resurfaced and floated on my back a little more. Then I remembered something. Dinner. I got out of the water, pulled my clothes on, and ran to the eating area.
It was 7:30 when I got there, which was pretty bad considering that Chiron looked weary when I arrived to breakfast 3 minutes late. Everyone glared at me as I got my food, put it into the fire, and sat down. The only people who weren't looking at me were Josh and Demitri. Wait. Josh? Why is he mad at me? I ate my dinner in 2 minutes flat, and went back to the ocean, sat down on the sand, and listened to the sound of the waves I woke up around 8:00 the next morning in the same position on the beach. I walked to the Poseidon cabin, put on another tank top and some denim shorts(Demitri calls me Little Miss Short Shorts when I wear them, by the way), and walked over to the eating area. I was early this time, surprise, surprise, and sat down at my table, waiting for everyone else to show up.
Demitri was the first one, besides me, to sit down. He waited at the Apollo table without a word.
When 9:00 finally came, and most of the campers were at their tables, the food was put on the serving tables. We all walked over to it, grabbed our food, and went to the fire. Poseidon, if you cam hear me, help me. I don't know what to do. Should I apologize? Demitri's a good friend, and I don't want to lose him just because I had to stick my big nose in his business. The only reply I got was a puff of smoke. Feeling abandoned, I walked back over to my table. I ate my breakfast, and got up. Josh had walked in the direction of his cabin, so I assumed that that's where he would be.
I was right, and found him along the path to his cabin.
"Hey," I said. I caught up in stride next to him.
"Hey," He replied. He looked kind of agitated.
"What did I do?"
"Oh, nothing. Tell your boyfriend I said hi." Um...WHAT?! What is he talking about? Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend! But I never got to tell him this, because he started walking faster. I tried to catch up to him, but it was no use. I finally gave up, and walked back to my position from the night before.
I stripped off my tank top and shorts, and got into the water. Again. I floated on my back, and stayed there for a long time.
