Make Me Your Aphrodite

So I can't believe I'm already on chapter 7 of this story. It seems so surreal. So last Saturday I watched the movie The Host with my two friends. It has Jake Abel in it (Luke) so I thought it was appropriate to share. It was good I recommend it. Also I would like to give a shout out to charardb! They were the first person to follow my pinterest account for this story! Thanks sooo much it means a lot! So I got lots of positive feedback on last chapter. I've had that inside my head for the longest time and it felt so good to actually write it! Thanks to all the new people who have followed this story. I love having everyone's support! Any ways one with the story!

Chapter 7: Party Time

Skyler's POV:

As I walk out of the training arena I go towards Cabin 10 to shower and change. When I get there I notice the door is slightly ajar. I push it open the rest of the way and walk inside. I really wish I hadn't. I see two teenagers kissing quite intently. I recognize the girl is Piper, the boy however I don't recognize. I try my best to back out quietly but with my excellent luck I run into someone's bed and fall backwards.

The two spring backward both red in the face.

"Skyler I... Umm… hi! This is Jason Grace my boyfriend. I thought you still had training." She said straightening her t-shirt.

"I did but I umm... Left early. Cramps." I said not being able to think of a better excuse. Then Jason went even redder and then kissed Piper on the cheek.

"Look at the time, nice meeting you….. Ummm bye." He said running out.

"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," I told Piper.

"No it was my fault, I'm sorry. And do you really have cramps?" she said giving me a look like she didn't believe me. I shook my head.

"No it's just… Luke let Leo be there with us and then when I was throwing knives he came up to me and made me miss the center by an inch. Then I punched him, Luke yelled at me and called me a bitch and I slapped him and left." I said in a single breath.

Piper was looking at me like I had gone crazy. Then she hugged me.

"Sorry he's being an ass." She said. She let me go and then I went to shower. When I came back I dried my hair and it was still straight and the makeup was still there. I left my hair down and put on a light gray sweatshirt, jeans, and my combat boots.

I walked out of the cabin and wen towards the dining pavilion. There were about five people still there who I didn't know so I got food and ate in silence. I left and went on a walk around the camp. When I walked by the training arena I heard my name being called.

"Skyler? Hey Skyler wait up! Wait for me." I turn and see Leo running towards me. Oh gods. I walk even quicker until he's right behind me.

"Hey Skyler I just wanted to-"he started but I cut him off.

"You just wanted to what? Annoy me even more, mess me up again? Just go away and never come back" I yell whipping back around and running into a tall muscular form.

"Whoa, you ok?" it asked steading me. I look up and see a blond boy with amazing blue eyes.

"Ummm, yea sorry I was just trying to get away from the hyperactive elf." I said pointing back at Leo.

"Leo's not so bad, once you get used to his hyperactivity." The boy said laughing. He stuck out his hand.

"I'm Will Solace. Son of Apollo." He said shaking my hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Skyler. Daughter of Aphrodite." I said shaking his hand back.

"I know you, everyone at camp does." He told me.

"So I've heard." I mutter under my breath. He gave me a weird look and then smiled.

"So me and the other kids from Apollo's cabin are having a party Friday night. Wanna come?" he asked. Of course I would anywhere to be where this guy is. He is gorgeous!

"Ummm, yea totally that would be great." I said smiling up at him. He had at least 5" on me. Gods he was gorgeous!

"Great! See ya around?" he said waving as he walked away. I waved back. Gotta talk to Piper.

I run back to the cabin and see Piper on her bed reading a book. I walk over and sit down. She looks up and puts the book down.

"What's up Sky?" she said smiling.

"What's the 411 on hottie Will Solace?" I said wagging my eyebrows. She smiled.

"Will is one of the cutest guys at this camp. He came her when he was 12 and has been training ever since. He's 18 now like you and he turns 19 in December. He's amazing with a bow, a phenomenal singer, and is pretty good on the dance floor." She stated. I wonder how she knew all that.

"I know your probably thinking how I know that, right?" she asked me, is everyone here freaking mind readers? I nodded.

"We were partners for the last field trip we went on. It was like a retreat thing to make new friends outside of your cabin." She said grimacing at the past experience.

"He invited us to a party in his cabin on Friday, I said we'd go I hope that's ok?" I told her. She shook her head.

"Most of us had already planned on going." She said, "We have to pick you out a perfect outfit." Just great!

*Time Skip to the next day*

I woke up the next morning and put on my training clothes for the day. A blue tank top that says 'I don't sweat I sparkle', blue and green print legging, a black track jacket and black running sneakers with my hair in a side french braid (A/N I mean a Katniss braid didn't know how else to put it).

It was 12pm on the dot when I walked into the training arena. Luke was there on time today. Great time to face the music. I walk towards him. He looks up when I get close.

"Nice shirt," he laughed. Ignoring him I started to apologize.

"Look I'm sorry I slapped you yesterday. I was mad at Leo for messing me up then took it out on you. But in all fairness you did call me a bitch which hurt." I said.

"Whatever, it's fine. And I guess I'm sorry too. Let's get started." He said looking kinda sorry but not really. We trained until 3pm like we are supposed to. I finally got to use the bow today. And I got a bull's eye every time! Afterward he said good job and left probably afraid I'd slap him again an idea I wasn't totally against.

The next two day's went like that. He corrected me when doing things wrong but didn't yell. He was almost nice to me.

When Friday finally came I was fierce and ready for the party. But I had a hard time concentrating. I had a harder time than usual throwing knives. Luke must have noticed because I he was harder on me than usual.

"I said to relax your shoulder's Skyler! Listen to me for once!" he yelled

"I'm trying!" I shout back. Sighing he came behind me and put both his hands on my shoulders.

"Calm down," he said in my ear, "Relax your muscles, the more you relax the more you can concentrate the easier it will be to throw and aim." This felt strangely calming I relaxed my shoulders and took a deep breath. I pulled the knife back, closed my eyes and threw.

THUD!

I open my eyes and see that the knife hit the exact middle of the target.

"Oh my gosh I did it Luke I did it!" I yelled turning around. Out of instinct I threw my arms around his neck and hugged him and he hugged me back. Then any sense I had came back to me and I let him go.

"Oh gosh... I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I just-"he put his hand over my mouth.

"It's ok Skyler just forget it ever happened." He said laughing, "See ya tomorrow?"

I shook my head, "See ya tomorrow." And with that he walked out of the arena. Gods I'm an idiot!

Luke's POV:

Skyler hugged me. She hugged me and I actually liked it. What the heck is wrong with me? I can't like it or her I just can't. I'm walking towards my cabin and I see Percy walking in front of me.

"Hey Perce!" I shout jogging to catch up, "What's up man you going to the party tonight?"

"Nah me and Annabeth are gonna spend some time together, we haven't had much of it lately." He said. God this kid was so love struck it makes me sick.

"Ok well I guess I'll see you later." I said going into my cabin. I took a quick shower and threw on a white long sleeved t-shirt and jeans with my black converse. Then I took off to my special nook to relax before the party.

Skyler's POV:

"I'm not wearing that."

"Yes you are!"

"Piper NO I am not!"

"Skyler YES you are!"

That went on for about 20 minutes until Piper finally forced me into the stupid outfit she had picked out for me for the party. It was a short blue sleeveless dress with yellow wedge's and a yellow flower necklace. She then proceeded to curl my hair into about a million curls. Aphrodite's blessing finally wore off so she had to reapply my makeup. I looked at myself and the mirror and gasped. I looked nice. Wow. I felt a bit too dressy though no pun intended. Oh well I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal.

It's about 7:30 and we walk over to Apollo's cabin and we can hear music playing and people laughing. We walk inside and it looks like everyone is having a good time. Piper walks me over to the drinks and hand's me punch. I look at it suspiciously.

"This isn't spiked is it?" I questioned. I didn't want to go down that road.

She laughed, "Of course not!" she said, "We actually have class here at camp half blood." Sure, class. That's what that is.

As the party goes on I meet new people and chat. Around 9pm I go back for some more punch. I see Drew and try to avoid her but she flags me down. Reluctantly I go over to her.

"What is it Drew? I'm not really in the mood." I said.

"Just wanted to make sure you're having fun! Are you?" she said a bit too enthusiastically for my taste.

"Umm yea, I guess so. Are you?" I respond.

She smiled, "Oh I'm having a dandy time. Punch?" she said offering me a cup. So someone must have hit me over the head last night because today I wasn't acting myself. I willingly take the cup from her and drink it in 3 gulps.

"That's really good!" I shout. It tasted different than last time, did she…..? No, of course she didn't. Sisters don't do that to other sisters. But is she really my sister?

About 5 cups later I was starting to have a really great time. More fun than I though. Was I drunk? Probably. Did I care? In the morning I will!

Luke's POV:

At around 8:30 I finally go to the party. When I get there people don't exactly look excited to see me. Except one. When Will comes over to say hello I hear I slurred voice that is all too familiar.

"Luke! Oh my gosh it's Luke! Piper look its Luke!" Skyler drunkenly say's as she comes over to me. I look at Piper and Will.

"How did she get so drunk? I thought there wasn't any alcohol here?" I shouted over the music.

"We thought that too! Someone must have snuck some in." Will said.

"I saw Drew give her a cup of punch about an hour ago." Piper said bitterly, "It had to have been her." Stupid Drew. Always wanting to screw up someone's life. She's like the poster child of Aphrodite. Pretty and bitchy. The two things I accused Skyler of being when I first met her.

"I can take her back to the cabin." I said. Piper nodded and thanked me. She then went off to find Jason. Will asked if I needed help.

"I think I'm good." I said as I went to find Skyler. I found her near Drew chugging something from a red solo cup. I rush up to her and grab it.

"I think that's enough for today." I said throwing the cup out.

"Hey," she shouted, "I was drinking that." Drew looked at me.

"Yeah Lukey bear, she was drinking that." She purred stepping closer to me.

"Go to hell Drew!" I snapped. I grabbed Skyler's hand and stormed out with her behind me. We were on our way to cabin 10 when she sits down on the ground.

"I want to go to bed!" she whined laying down on her back. She was not going to make this easy. I walked over to her and picked her up bridal style.

"Let's go sleeping beauty." I whispered. We keep walking and she leans her head against my shoulder. When we get there I set her down on the bed with the chest that says 'Skyler'. When I lay her down on her bed she brings my face towards hers.

That's when she kissed me.

Duh duh duhhhhh! Sorry I didn't update on Tuesday I was so incredibly busy. I would have done it on Wednesday or Thursday but I had dance until like 8 on Wednesday and I had homework to finish. And on Thursday I had to go to my neighbor's funeral. On another note. I gave my older sister a concussion. Best sister ever right? Wrong! I accidently hit her with the trunk of the car because we were in a rush. Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Btw, I don't condone underage drinking. I just thought it would be funny to add into this chapter. So you people better never drink underage! I mean it! See you next time!

XOXO,
