OMG! Chapter 10! :D Thank you guys! xx ily

So here's... CAPTURE THE FLAG!

On Friday night, I arrived back at camp with my new friends. It was Capture the Flag night. I had my baton/sword and my three extra batons that I sometimes used in multiple baton tricks. They were also used as decoys.

Me, Annabeth Piper, Leo, Nico and the rest of our team was wearing red armor. Annabeth had our plan. I wasn't really listening. I was just thinking about the fight and the game last night. We had won!

I lined up next to the other candidates. Percy and I had linked our arms. Annabeth was smiling and waving. I had Percy in one arm, my baton in the other, smiling brightly. I had my uniform on. Our school colors were red and white, and my uniform was red and white with black sequins.

"First runner-up goes to... Jessica Kendall and Rohan Johnson!"

Jessica smiled, walked up and got some roses. She and Rohan linked arms, leaving their partners on the field. They both walked off to the left side.

"Think you won?" I teased Percy.

"I don't know." Percy rolled his eyes. "Do you think you did?"

"Absolutely not." I laughed lightly. Sarcasm was fun.

"And now for Goode High's 2015 Homecoming King and Queen! The award goes to..."

Everyone looked at me and Percy. I saw the candidates and court also look at me.

"EMMA KNIGHT AND PERCY JACKSON!"

Percy and I walked forwards. We smiled and waved as we went. The crowns went on our head. Lots of pictures were snapped of us. Abby shot us a dark look from her second runner-up spot. Finally we walked off the field.

Annabeth ran straight into Percy. "Seaweed Brain! You won!"

"Nice one, bro." Jason gave Percy a fist bump.

"Congrats, Emma." Piper smiled.

"Emma!" Jessica ran over to me. "Two years in a row! Hi, Percy. Nice job. Come on, Emma!"

I got dragged off and waved. Jessica towed me under the stadium. I knew the party was just getting started.

"...and me, Piper, Leo, Nico and Emma will be running to get the flag. The rest of you be distractions or defenders." Annabeth finished. "Got it?"

I nodded, even though I wasn't listening, until a young kid put her hand up. "Is it going to turn into another you and Percy duel?"

Annabeth laughed. "Well, Emma can come help me if Percy and I go on too long. She took Percy down once. Emma, you got your heels?"

I gave her a light shove. "Duh. I'm never seen without them!"

A little bit later, we were started! Apparently the creek was the boundary, and I just ran across it. "Where's their flag?"

But Annabeth was gone. I just ran deeper into their territory, dodging arrows and ropes I saw. On a movie set, she showed me how to tell ropes from vegetation or trees. Percy and Annabeth were right. They knew I was a demigod and set me up to learn about it.

I saw it. It was apparently unguarded. I didn't see that many people on their side. They might've been elsewhere or in other places. But then, someone jumped in front of me.

"Hello, Homecoming Queen." I could see Percy. "I wondered how far you'd get. I knew Annabeth would send you since you've beaten me once. So, I'm here to beat you!"

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my sword. "No killing, okay?"

"No promises." Percy laughed. "Just kidding. I'll try not to."

"You're on." I spun around and started the fight.

He jabbed and I spun to the side again. I made a grab for the sword, but he just moved his arm. I rolled my eyes. He disarmed me, making my sword fly off to the side and pointed his at me.

"I win." Percy smiled. "Back to your side. Since this is your first, I'm not going to kill you."

I raised my arms in surrender, but I had something planned. I snuck up to him and got close. He was still looking uncertain, and I smiled. "Oh, Percy..."

And I did the two most stupid things I'd ever done in my life. First, I backed into him and stepped on his foot with my stilettos. Then, I grabbed him, heel still on his foot, and kissed him.

"What the hell, Emma?" Percy pushed back. I took the opportunity to grab my sword, too. "I have a girlfriend! Annabeth!"

"And I have your sword!" I smirked.

"Oh, you didn't." He laughed.

"Oh, yes, I did." I said.

By then the other campers had noticed me and him. Annabeth ran forwards and then the war began. I found the cap for it, placed it back on top, and it became a pen. I'd seen him do it before, so I guessed it worked both ways. I stuck it in my pocket.

Annabeth and I were both up against Percy. I guessed he was the one controlling the water.

"Annabeth, go!" I tilted my head towards the flag. She ran over towards it.

"You and me, just like the other time. But now, with the armor, you can't do your flips." Percy smirked. "Me on the other hand..."

"You on the other hand..." I pointed my sword-baton at him. "What should I do with a boy like you?"

"What's a homecoming queen doing here?" he shot back.

I screamed and pointed. "Annabeth!"

Percy looked over. "Annabeth?! What happened to her? Is she okay?!"

"Annabeth!" I pointed at Annabeth, who had run across the creek with the flag. "Annabeth just stole your flag. We win, Percy! Ha!"

"You're good." Percy smirked.

Annabeth ran over to me and Percy. "Well, looks like you lose, Seaweed Brain."

"Did you see me kiss him?" I asked.

"Yes." Annabeth glared at me.

"I swear it was nothing but a distraction." I honestly said. "I swear."

Annabeth narrowed her eyes, then smiled. "I believe you. I mean, we're friends, and you were fighting for us."

I smiled. "Thanks, Annabeth. Tomorrow's the dance."

Annabeth looked over at Percy. "Um... how crazy do they get?"

Percy and I just looked at each other and laughed.
