Fair warning, this chapter is a little more Pg-13 than the rest
He fell hard
Alex remembers the first time he saw Harp. Everyone was at the campfire and one of the Aphrodite girls was accusing Harp or secretly being in love with Connor Stoll, a close friend of hers. Harp not only denied the accusation, but she stood up and told the whole camp, "I am super straight-forward person. If I like someone I don't waist time playing games I just go up to them and say 'Hey, I like you, we should hang out sometime.' And you know, if they don't like me back, I get over it. It's fine, if Justine Timberlake doesn't want to play through his hot dog down my hallway that's fine," She got herself a week of washing dishes for that one.
Alex had always watched the Apollo girl from distance, mostly in training or at the campfire. She had dark black hair with purple streaks in it, he natural hair was blond with no purple in it, or so he was told. He never saw it like that; she always kept her hair dark. She was the only drum player in the Apollo cabin (her siblings often called her 'Ringo' because of this).
Alex got to know her during a game of soccer many campers were playing, or rather when they were on the bench. They sat and talked the whole time they were sitting on the bench, Alex learned she was a fast runner (she joked about being 'Born to Run') but generally sucked at sports. He also learned she was from New Jersey and had a devotion to Bruce Springsteen.
He told her he was from Australia ("I could tell," she said in reference to his accent), and a son of Nike. He played football, ("Do you mean my football or your football?" "Mine, soccer,") and that he like her purple hair.
Harp proved to be very straightforward; the next day she walked up to him and asked him out. Indecently, she as wearing a shirt that said, "Save a drum set, bang a drummer,"
That was seven years ago, and now they were standing on the roof of their apartment building in New Jersey. Alex left Australia and moved to America for college and stayed with no family holding him back in Australia. They were surrounded with a lot of their friends, demigod and mortal.
With the help of Connor and Travis, Alex had gotten everything set up. Hanging out with the pair of them a lot for the last seven years had given him a love of pranks and fun, and he had to get back at Harp for replacing all the sports magazines and his sporting goods store with porn.
Ale stood on the edge of the building and said "Hey, everyone," getting every ones attention, "as you all know, Harp and I have been dating for a long time and I think it's time I asked her a very important question. But first, Travis, the ring?" Travis tossed him the ring, purposely over throwing it. Alex reached for it and fell over the edge.
"Oh my gods!" Harp yelled as she and everyone else ran to the edge. They found Alex lying on one of the inflatable stunt mattresses they used in the movies. Alex was holding up a sign that said, "Will you marry me?"
"Get up here!" Harp yelled. Five minutes later Alex was back on the roof, and Harp punched him the gut. He doubled over in pain and Harp yelled, "Are you out of your mind?" But when he stood up, she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him and kissed him furiously, "Of coarse I will," They stayed that way, kissing, for a while until Connor told everyone to leave them alone.
When they were all gone, Alex saved a drum set.
This was a little dirtier than the others but that is how Harp is, very shameless and out there, if she had a theme song it would be "Bad Reputation," By Joan Jett, but she isn't a slut or a mean person, she just thinks virginity is a social construct.
If you watch Ray William Johnson and/or are a youtube whore, you recognize where I got the idea. Also The whole ""Throw his hot dog down my hallway" was from Jenna Marbles, but the original video has been flagged. I made a picture with all the Oc's that have been featured and are going to be featured in the story, I'll put a link on my page. And yes, Harp was the girl featured in my other story "Ti Amo," and another story I wrote that I never published to Fan fiction, but if you want to read it, PM me.
Fun fact: when you listen to your favorite music, your brain releases Dopamine, a hormone released when you are having sex. Maybe that's why Apollo has so many kids...
