Percy's POV
Okay. Today was the day we demigods meets our immortal siblings. Which, I really didn't want to do. I mean, I've met Triton before. Okay for like a minute, but he was a jerk to me. But, the best part about all this is that my other half-brother Tyson is coming. Tyson and I get along, but every time I talk to Tyson through Iris-Message, he would complain about Triton.
I heard a knock on my door. When I opened it, I was lifted off the ground and into a hug. "Brother. Monsters didn't kill you yet!" Tyson said all excited.
"Yeah, amazing huh?" I said laughing. I looked behind Tyson and saw Andi hanging out with some guy. And let me tell you, he was ripped. Then I noticed he looked a lot like Andi and Beckendorf put together. Weird.
"Hey Percy!" Andi yelled to me. I waved and I pointed to Tyson. She understood what I was trying to tell her because she came up to us smiling. But, she brought the guy over. I never said anything about Oh Andi, why don't you bring your super hot friend with you as well! Or anything like that. "Percy, I want you to meet Eros, god of love and my half-brother" Andi exclaimed. Wow, I feel stupid.
"Call me Erin. So you're the famous Percy Jackson?" he asked me.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Andi!" Tyson yelled.
"Tyson!" Andi said back while Tyson gave her a hug that can kill her. "Tyson, a little too hard." She breathed out. I just had to laugh because the look on Andi's face was priceless.
"Andi I have to go but I'll talk to you later." Erin said and left. Tyson said he had to go to.
"So, how do you like your brother?" I asked Andi.
"He's actually pretty cool. I mean. He doesn't care for beauty, he likes to invent things and work with metal. I just want to know how the Aphrodite cabin's going to react." She said. I could imagine it too. Just think of the whole Aphrodite cabin, watching their brother get dirty and not care what he looks like. I looked at my watch and it was around 5:00 pm. It was free time. "Let me guess, your going swimming?" Andi said.
"How? Do you have a mind reading ability that I don't know about?" I chuckled.
"Although that would be fun I don't, but you usually go swimming during free time." She replied with a smirk.
"I need to get more guy friends." I said exasperated, gently rubbing my temples. "Then would you, Ms. Turner like to go swimming?" I said in an English accent. Note to self: Don't ever go to England because I'll get my ass kicked by Englishmen for sucking at accents.
"Yes I would. Be right back." She said. I changed into my swim-shorts and just went to the lake, which Andi already beat me to.
"Maybe you're the son of Aphrodite because you take so long to get ready." Andi laughed.
"Yeah. Picture me as the son of Aphrodite." I said.
"I really don't want to." She said. I was on the dock and so was she. I just jumped in right on the spot. I rose to the surface looking at Andi.
"What are you waiting for. Jump!" I yelled.
She dipped her foot in "To cold."
"To cold my ass. I just jumped in."
"You're the son of Poseidon dummy!" she giggled.
"Fine, I guess I can't make you." I said. I climbed up onto the dock and did a thing that drives Andi crazy.
"Percy you are so dead!" she yelled as I slung her over my shoulder. With her still on my shoulder, I jumped in the water. "Percy! What was that for?" Andi said when we both rose to the surface.
"You didn't want to go in and I was lonely." I said making a puppy dog face. I knew that she would forgive me because she always falls for the puppy dog face.
"Fine. I forgive you. Again." She said.
"You want to race? Here to the other side of the lake." I challenged her.
She shook her head. "No. I'm not going to do a race that includes water with the son of the sea god. So . . . no."
"Please? I'll go easy on you." Or I'll try to go easy on you.
"Fine, but what do I get if I win?" Andi said.
"Okay, winner has to give the loser something special at the end of the race. Deal?" I held out my hand for her to shake.
"Deal." She said while shaking my hand.
Both of us started at the edge of the dock. With that, I was the one that had to say "1…2…3…Go!" and we were off. I was in the lead, but Andi was still close. We did this so often she can easily catch up to me. There was one time in the race where she was too close to me, so I pretended to accidentally push her. I was 2 ft away from the shore, then 1ft, and then I was on the shore. I won. Andi came up like a minute after me.
"I saw you cheater!" she yelled laughing.
"What did I do?" I asked innocently.
"You pushed me!"
"By accident." I tried to defend myself.
"Yeah, accident my ass." She replied, wringing out her hair so it would dry faster. But, as her best friend, I just had to push her back in the water when she wasn't paying any attention. So there I was, laughing my ass off while Andi was in the water. I waited for a few moments, but I didn't see her anywhere. I waited a little bit longer, but she didn't come back up. Panicking, I jumped in and searched for her everywhere near the spot I just saw her last. I was yelling her name, as best as I could underwater, when I felt something grab my foot.
I turned around and saw it was Andi. "You're an asshole!" I yelled, not sure whether to laugh or get mad.
"What? I can't trick my friend and scare the shit out of them?" she said, giving me a look of pure innocence. She always took advantage of her big brown eyes, and she knew very well I fell for them every time she did something that got me angry or worried. It was getting dark, but still bright enough to see the face of the person right in front of you. We were still in the water, with nobody around. Then I remembered the bet we had before we had the race. Apparently Andi remembered the same thing.
"So, weren't you the winner of our race? That means you won the bet."
I nodded. "Okay. Ready for your-" I was cut off by Connor and Travis yelling something at us from the dock.
"Hey lovebirds! It's dinnertime!" Travis yelled.
"Well, guess we better get going." Andi said standing up.
"Yeah." Was all I could say.
After dinner I was just wondering around the woods, being bored shitless. Yeah, some mouth I got over the years. Chiron said my brother Triton will be here tomorrow, since he apparently forgot today was the day he came to camp. Chiron did warn me that Triton loved to flirt with girls.
I don't really mind if it's the Aphrodite cabin, but if it's Andi or any of her friends, Triton's going to get turned down easily. "Hey." I turned around and saw Andi.
"Hey."
"You okay? You seem a little uptight." She said. I knew I could tell Andi anything, I could talk to her about this, right.
"Okay. Chiron told me Triton's coming tomorrow. But he also warned me that Triton is also a big flirt."
"Like the Aphrodite bimbos."
"Yep. Except with girls." I said. She just smiled and laughed. Gods, Andi's laugh just reminded me of home. I don't know why, maybe because she's the only one that I've known for my whole life, besides my mom.
"What are you worried about then? I mean he's not attracted to men." She joked.
"First off, gross. I did not need to hear that gay comment." I said disgusted while she smiled. "And I'm worried because he's a god and he could get any girl he wants."
"What girl are you worried about?" she pushed on.
"I don't know. Tori, Molly, Lilly, Katie, Shelby, you." I trailed off.
"When are you so protective of me?" she leaned against the trunk of an oak tree.
"I've always been over protective of you, there's no need to stop now." I grinned. She gave me a small smile, trying to forget a little of her past.
"Well, just try to be nice to him, even though he might be a jackass." She told me, completely changing the subject.
"I'm sorry but I can't promise that." I said laughing. "Just don't go blaming me if you see blood coming from my cabin" I added.
"I still might blame you." Andi chuckled.
"I think we should get back." I said.
"Yeah. See you tomorrow." She said then left. I went into my cabin thinking about what tomorrow will bring. Oh gods please help me.
