A/N: Hey guys! I gotta say, I'm making this as a no flame story. I'm a new author and I don't really like when people call my character a 'Mary Sue' or whatever. I want you to know this… she's supposed to be like this in the beginning. She is inside her shell for not getting hurt and tossed away like garbage. Alexis is slowly changing into a different person. So no flamers. If you review a bad one, just… don't. I don't want you to not read this story because what happens in this chapter, this is only the beginning. A thanks too:

- Thanks you so much, I'm really happy! I update every week! I like Bubbles; she was fun to write about. Sadly she is not on this chapter, only mentioned. Bye and I hope you like this chapter!

ScienceGeek8538:

- I have a thing to say to you too: It rains like Hades here. Very summer. Thank you, I had a very good birthday (even though it rained). I will keep trying to make good chapters. And I found out about the chapter 9 is supposed to be chapter 10, but because the A/N I deleted. Even if I knew, thank you! I hope your summer will be better!

Cookie Spasms:

- I have updated! Thank you so much! Have a good summer (If you're not in Australia).

Chapter 10

Do you want to know what happened after my fight with Will? I wanted to say I ignored it and walked around the camp bravely with all the people's eyes shining on me. But, no, that would be called extreme lying. Instead I'm sitting on the blue couch in the Poseidon cabin, in my pajamas, eating brownie ice cream and watching the Little Mermaid for the fifth time. What a loser I am.

After the fight yesterday, I slept and managed to make Percy to pick up ice cream and breakfast. I was feeling miserable; I felt that I was taking Will's ignoring too seriously.

I clutched my Flounder plush closer to me. "You're not gonna be mad at me?"

Thankfully it didn't answer. I was sad about my fight with Will, but I couldn't help but be curious about that surprise my father had for me.

I wanted to talk to Bubbles, but she was on an important Poseidon's sea creature's meeting. It was so important that she didn't have time to help me and went to the meeting.

Percy came in with a worried face. "Still in the same position, huh?"

I nodded mutely and focused on the movie. It was one of my favorite movies, even if it was ancient. I loved Ariel, but I loved Flounder with my heart. He was so cute.

He sat down and hugged me closer to him. "I know it's hard, I get in plenty fights with Annabeth. Some of them are silly, but they still matters. I'm not sure what this about, all I know that you hit Will with a volleyball."

"I didn't do it on purpose. He thinks I did just because I was angry at him."

"Why were you angry at him?"

"It's a long story; I'm not in the mood to tell it right now."

"It's okay. I will come back later, okay?"

I nodded and Percy picked up his armor and went out. I ditched every class that I had with Will, which was kind of everything.

Someone knocked on the door, and I was afraid it was Will, so I didn't answer. I heard noises of someone unlocking the door and Silena opened the cabin door holding our not- so secret key to the cabin. Guess we have to change that hiding spot.

"Lexie! You okay?" She ran over to me with her low high- heel clattering into the sea colored marble.

Silena attacked me with a deathly hug. I tried to break free, but she had a steel grip. "I heard that you had a fight with Will! What happened?"

I lamely told her the whole story. Her face morphed into different stuff, angry, sad, and worried. "Oh,"

I laughed a little bit. "Yeah, oh."

"What are you going to do?"

"I have to apologize. I was the one who was overreacting."

Silena grimaced. "No, don't. It's good for guys to learn that they hurt a girl."

I shook my head. "No. I have to apologize, or I'm going to feel worse."

"But-"

"I have too."

She sighed and sat down in the couch. "Silena…" I said nervously as I sat down again. "Do you think we're taking this, I don't know… to fast?"

Her face scrunched in confusion. "What?"

"Will and I. I feel like we're moving on so fast… maybe we need to slow down."

"But you are best friends right?"

I nodded. "But still… I feel like we're a couple. I'm only thirteen; maybe we need to tone down on the romantic stuff."

She seemed to be studying me like I was some clothes and she was trying to match them. "Maybe… maybe you're right, Lexie. I think it's for your best, I mean you already been here only a few days and you're having two fights…"

We weren't ready, maybe he ignored me for a good reason, and maybe he doesn't like me but Drew. Makes sense. "We're afraid of hurting each other's feelings… but it only ends up with us fighting. We need to be more friends like."

Silena nodded, she seemed to be a little bit sad, but she's the daughter of the love goddess, of course she's sad when people are degrading their relationship.

"Well, you have to get ready, 'cause girl, you're not looking so well," she said looking at my fish pajamas.

I laughed and Silena frowned. "You act different… you okay?" I realized that I was acting a little bit different. I was opening up, I was inside my shell so much before because I didn't want to get hurt like when I got ditched and ignored from the people I thought was my friends.

Maybe it was the best for me; I was beginning to trust people. I had friends and an awesome brother. "Uh, yes," I said. "I'm okay."

She nodded, but she didn't seem to be rather convinced. "I have archery, you can get ready and I will see you later." She seemed to be thinking of something, because she had that smug look on her face.

"Okay…" I said as she skipped happily out off the door. I took a shower and I didn't put some kind of dressy top on me. Just a plain pink t- shirt (Silena must love this t- shirt) and some blue ripped skinny jeans that I made holes in when I got bored at school. I smiled as I took on the trident earrings that I've been so fond of. I didn't care so much how my hair looked; it was curly as my mom's curls. 'Milano curls' she used to call them, she meant they were so special that they have to get their own name.

I slipped on my blue TOMS that Silena gave me since she had like 100 pairs of them. When I went out I was so shocked that I slipped my Finding Nemo pajamas and my towel out of my hands.

Will stood there with slightly damp hair and his dearly beloved guitar. He wore that perfect smile that he inherited from his dad and the normal camp t- shirt. Short said, he looked like an angel who passed a sprinkler.

I stood there awkwardly as he sat down. I still stood there like an idiot, with my mouth open like a fish. How did he come in? I locked the door.

I sat down and said something smart like, "The door was locked."

"Silena," we said together.

"That girl…" I muttered.

"Uh…" Will said rubbing his neck awkwardly. "Hey."

"Hey."

He looked at me and got his guitar ready. I don't know what he's planning, but it has something to with his guitar.

"Look…," he said.

"I'm sorry," I said down in his hands. "I was overreacting-"

"No! You weren't!" Will said. "It was me; I was so obsessed with that stupid mirror that I shut you off! I totally forgot it, and after I remembered what happened."

"Will," I said gently. "Don't say it like that; you're saying it like it was your fault. It wasn't at all, I was angry for some stupid thing and I busted the stupid volleyball at your head. If I hadn't lost my temper, this wouldn't have happened."

"Your volleyball busted some sense in my head."

"You always had sense in your head, Pretty Boy."

"You can't blame for your temper, it a Big Three thing. The volleyball made me remember that I ignored you for… well, an hour when you were trying to talk to me."

"You made it sound stupid," I mumbled. "Let's just forget it, okay?"

"But-"

"Please," I said and looked into his eyes. They looked like a normal sky, but when he got upset, it was like a cloud passed.

He sighed. "Okay, let's just forget it."

I nodded and I didn't realize that the movie was still on. "Little Mermaid?" He asked with a playful look in his eyes.

I shrugged. "It's a classic." Ariel started to sing and something lit up in Will's face.

"I almost forgot…" he muttered and put the movie in mute.

"Will," I said confused. "The movie is boring without sound."

"I know that," he said gently. "Just listen."

"Uh…" He started to play on his guitar.

He was playing a song for me. I didn't know what song he was playing until he started to sing.

I've been looking under rocks and breaking locks
Just tryna find ya

I've been like a manic insomniac

5 steps behind you

I widened my eyes when I realized that he played my favorite song. He's such a Casanova.

Tell them other girls, they can hit the exit
Check please...

Cause I finally found the girl of... my dreams

Much more than a Grammy award

That's how much you mean to me

I've never heard him sing at real, just normally some humming, but now he was singing for real. I realized that he sung like an angel. Gods, I could listen to his singing all say.

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shi- girl

Lovin' you could be a crime

Crazy how we fit girl

This it girl

Give me 25 to life

I just wanna rock all night long

And put you in the middle of my spotlight

You could be my it girl

You're my biggest hit girl

He smiled at me. A charming smile that would make girls swoon and I was definitely tearing up. I smiled teary eyed at him.

Let me play it loud
Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh

Let me play it loud

Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh

Let me play it loud

I watched as his fingers glided on the beautiful guitar.

You can't help but turn them heads
Knockin' them dead

Dropping like flies around you

If I get your body close not letting go

Hoping you're about to

Tell them other guys they can lose your number

You're done!

They don't get another shot cause you're... love drunk

Like a TV show playing reruns

Every chance I get

I'mma turn you on

I blushed as he winked at me; I was acting like a lovesick girl. He sung that like I was doing that on real. I scoffed inwardly.

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shi- girl

Lovin' you could be a crime

Crazy how we fit girl

This it girl

Give me 25 to life

I just wanna rock all night long

And put you in the middle of my spotlight

You could be my it girl

You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud

Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh

Let me play it loud

His version was even better than the real one. I was totally hooked up in his singing. Now I was glad Bubbles weren't here, she would tease me for centuries for this.

Can't seem to stop you from... running, running
Through my, through my mind, mind

Just keep it coming, coming

Til I make you mine, mine

You've got that something, something

I wanna be with girl

You're my greatest hit girl

Just say this is it girl...

Hey baby...

Don't you know you're my it girl

I smiled at his vocals, no so many could hit them perfectly as the artist, but he pulled it off.

You could be my it girl
Baby you're the shi- girl

Lovin' you could be a crime

Crazy how we fit girl

This it girl

Give me 25 to life

I just wanna rock all night long

And put you in the middle of my spotlight

You could be my it girl

You're my biggest hit girl

Let me play it loud

Let me play it loud like... oh oh oh oh
Let me play it loud

Let me hear you sing it like... oh oh oh oh

Let me play it loud

He stopped playing and I realized that the song was finished. I was stunned for words; he practically played my favorite song and sung it like an angel.

"That was beautiful…" I whispered.

He shot me a smile. He settled his feet on the table and sat on the couch like it was no big deal.

"Pretty cool song," Will said glancing at me. "Good lyrics too."

I nodded. I looked at his guitar; I would be honored to play on such beautiful guitar.

"You like guitars," he said suddenly. "You look like you want to play one too."

I frowned. "I do… I thought you knew."

"I know that," Will said. "I mean play at real. Learn songs and maybe make some by yourself."

I think he offered me to teach how to play guitar, but in a very complicated way. I didn't know what to say, he already done so much for me. I wasn't sure if I could take it.

"Your officering me classes?" I asked.

He nodded. "But…" I said quietly. "You done so much for me, I can't take this offer."

He dropped his feet off the table and looked at me, straight in my eyes. "You've done a lot for me too, I don't mind. I want to teach you."

"Let's… let's have a deal. You teach me guitar and I can teach you… sword fighting. Private lessons!"

"Huh? Me and sword fighting. That's an awkward combo. And what about archery? You suck at that too."

I scoffed. "No archery, that Travis accident made me hate it."

Will laughed. "Okay, then. I teach you guitar and you will teach – and fail, to learn me sword fighting."

"Oh, come on! You can't be that bad!"

"Trust me, Angel Fish. I can."

I thought I forgot something. I checked my brain for it and let's just say I found out what I forgot. "But… what's the catch?"

"What's the catch?" he said confused.

"Yeah, you can't just offer me stuff like that for free. Got to be something."

"The catch…" he tapped his chin trying to find something. "You have to kiss my cheek every class."

"What?" I regretted about mentioning it. I was about to tell him that we need to tone down the mushy stuff.

"I'm pretty sure you heard me," he said smirking like the idiot he is.

"Uh…" I said until I smirked evilly. "You have to prank your cabin with Travis and Connor. That's my catch."

"What! I can't do that… they'll be mad at me."

I gave him the famous 'puppy eyes' that Percy taught me. Perfect for situations like this.

"Uh…" he said hesitating. "Fine…"

I smiled, until his devil smile appeared. "Just if you kiss my cheek now. Like a pay up."

I pretty sure my mouth was opening and closing like a doofus. "I feel like we're playing truth and dare."

"We kind of do now."

"Oh, shut up."

I kissed his cheek with my face red. Definitely like truth and dare.

His face turned red, and I snickered. "Such a Casanova…" I muttered.

"I heard that!"

"That was the meaning."

"Second payment, you know, for busting a volleyball at my head."

"What! That was fun!" I protested.

He chuckled. "It was probably fun for you… for me, not so much."

"But-"

"Second payment… aha. A dance with Mr. Solace."

I groaned. "You got to be kidding me."

He shook his head with amusement shining in his eyes. "A slow dance."

"You're torturing me."

"And I find that very entertaining."

He closed the curtains and pressed the 'disco lights', yeah, our dad have been thinking of everything. I didn't use that light so much, but Percy did to bust some of his dance moves. (I have to tell you that bad dancing is our blood.)

I bit my lip, I wasn't a great dancer. Of course I enjoyed it, but unfortunately it will probably ruin someone's eye sight.

"Uh… Will. I don't dance." I said quietly.

He probably rock at dancing because his dad is the god of music. "Me neither," he said smiling at me. "Slow dance is easy."

Easy, yeah right. I could still step on his toes.

He moved to our music station and put his surprisingly blue IPod into the holder. Music blasted from the dock.

He took my hand and we walked to the middle of the cabin where the blue and sea green light shined over us. I didn't know what to do; I've never slow danced before. I hesitated a bit before taking my arms around his neck. I was glad he was taller than me, if he wasn't… well, then it would be an awkward situation.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and took me closer to him. I was once again clueless about what I was going to do; I laid my head on his shoulder. He must shower right before he came here, because he smelled more honey than usual.

"This is… nice." I mumbled into his ear. I was feeling bad, we were supposed to act like best friends, but we weren't exactly doing it now.

"It is," he whispered.

"Mmm…." he said quietly to himself. He once again though he said it himself but I heard it. "Rose, raspberries, fresh blossoms and sea breeze…"

I blushed and suddenly the music stopped. It took time to register that we were done dancing because both of us were in daze. I released from his grip and walked to his IPod. He picked one of the longest slow songs I've ever seen.

"Sooo Casanova…" I muttered.

My face was heating and his cheeks were flushed. He shut the lights off and opened the curtains. We sat down in the couch. I finally laughed.

Will looked confused. "Why are you laughing?"

I looked at him. "I don't know… it was kind of funny."

"You're acting strange." Another person that put notice that I was slightly different. I was on my way to get more open and happy.

"Oh, it's nothing." I said.

More silence. Not awkward, but we were watching the Little Mermaid so we weren't exactly supposed to scream.

"Hey, Lex," Will said fiddling with his thumbs nervously. I glanced at him. "We're best friends, right?"

I said something like, "Yeah, duh."

"Well… do you ever feel like we're acting… I don't know, more than friends."

I was in thought. He felt the same thing; maybe we should just be best friends.

I nodded slowly. "I also think we're acting a little bit… close." I sighed. "I don't know, Will. I'm too young for a relationship."

He looked down in his hands. "I'm not ready," he admitted. "I think we have to be just friends."

I nodded. "It's not like we like each other, just best friends right?" I said dumbly and not realizing what I said.

"Oh, yeah," he said lamely. "Friends with catches."

"We have to do the catches."

"Yeah, of course."

I'm not sure why, but I felt sad. I looked at Will and smiled sadly. He smiled back even though it looked a little bit forced. He looked just the same, but his eyes showed sadness.

"Finding Nemo?" I asked.

He nodded. I put the CD in the DVD players and put it on play. I grabbed my Nemo plushy and sat beside Will.

I watched the movie and I don't know what to say. I was lost for words. It was probably the best for both of us, but it still felt like a 'breakup.'

A/N: There! Please don't kill me! I planned this, and it will be kind of interesting afterwards. I hope you're not quitting this story 'cuz they will be more friendlike. There will be Willexis, I'm promising you that. If it was only romance between them, it would be boring, more drama comes! I was a little bit sad; I didn't get so many reviews as I usually get maybe it was because the whole chapter messes in the story, only because I deleted my A/N. Maybe because my followers are on vacation, how can I know? Bye and Reviews!

PS: No Flamers. And the song in this chapter is It Girl by Jason Derulo.
