Hello everyone! Like I said before, the contest is still going, and this chapter, is a bit… different from the rest. That's because it's in Lizzie's POV! I figured sense you know Drake, why not go into the mind of another? Anyway! Here we are! Chapter 10/Special 1!

Lizzie's Log 1; Boy with Sapphire Eyes…

Look, I know that title sounds stupid, even cute if you had a crush.. That what happened to me, when I first saw Drake. When he was half carried in by Percy. I looked at the boy from afar, while Percy delt with Will.

"Hey Will, new camper, he past out on top of the hill." Percy said to Will. Will nodded and set him on the bed, Percy left, and not even 30 seconds, the boy woke up. I took a moment to look at his features. He had curly shaggy hair which seemed of a rare trait. I… 'labeled' him as a Hermes kid right away. He had those eye brows and that smile, but.. He seemed very different fro his brothers and sisters. I then snapped to his eyes.

They were my favorite color.

Sapphire blue. They even looked like real sapphires. I smiled. Will talked to him as Ajax would run around, treating minor wounds and helped Will. Will told the boy to rest, and left. I went to his bed, knowing Will would want me to check on him. I look a note to ask his name.

XXxXxX (A/N; skipping the infirmary scene, and moving on to a few days later.)

Drake, the Hermes Kid I mentioned earlier, stopped by regularly, we became friends, which I don't regret.

"So.. How's Ajax? He's not here today." Drake noted and looked around. He liked Ajax. Probably because he was his.. Cousin in a way. I smiled.

"He didn't come in today, since we're preparing for CTF. He wants to be an archer in that fight." I told him. Drake nodded.

"Hey, you free this afternoon, after lunch?" He asked me. Did I see pink in his cheeks.

"Yeah, why?" I said, playing cool, not letting my cheek heat up.

"Well.. I could.. 'borrow' some food from lunch and we could.. You know, have a picnic on top Artemis Tree?" His fingers would intertwine with his own, a sign when he was nervous. My eyes widen a bit.

Was he asking me out? I wondered that. I should explain Artemis Tree. it's a huge pine tree, larger then Thalia's, (another story) but you could climb the branches like a ladder, and on top were strong enough and think enough branches you could practically have a 5 man party. It was that big and thick. Ajax and Drake found it when they were snooping around in the night. Sense Artemis didn't have many symbols at camp, Ajax came up with the name, you could see the stars and moon clearly, even the valley.

"S-sure." I stuttered. I hardly ever stutter…

"Alright, meet you there, 4 pm?" He smiled as I nodded, letting my cheeks flush. He got up, placed his left hand on my right shoulder and squeezed it gently. The normal good-bye when he visit the Infirmary, sometimes messes up Ajax's' hair if he was here. I smiled and breathe a sigh of a relief.

One step at a time, Liz. That's how I met your father. I herd my mother's words in my mind. She sounded like the Aphrodite girls…. But actually makes sense. I nodded and smiled

One step at a time.

After lunch, I met Drake at the base of the tree. He held a small basket and smiled at me. He invited Ajax, but he couldn't come this afternoon. I was half happy and half sad. Word around camp when Drake, Ajax and I, are all together, we look like a young family. We all laugh because it actually looks like we're a family. We climbed the tree, reaching the top. It was perfect. Blanket, an extra one, some bread, soda in a can, (heaven I tell you..) and some light snacks and fruit. I smiled, knowing I was mostly a fruit person and he remembered.

"Hey, you herd about Annabeth and Percy?" Drake asked.

"I have." Word says they'll be going to the same school. But due to Annabeth job on Olympus, she needs to be near it almost all the time, but her mother, Lady Athena, doesn't want her to fall behind, so she trusted Percy, (surprisingly.) to watch her daughter when she's in school.

"I'm kind of jealous. To go to school." Drake said, looking at the sun set over the Long Island shore, "I traveled and served to an enemy who I didn't know most of my life."

"Some people would die for that kind of life and not go to school." I said to Drake as I smiled. "I personally don't like school."

"Which is why you're a year-rounder." He noted. "Lucky I suppose." I laughed, Drake smiled as he ate an apple. We talked and laughed for about a few hours. I shivered. Only being in a t-shirt and summer shorts, it was getting chilly. Drake noticed and started doing something I'd never expect him to do in front of anyone.

Strip.

"Drake!" I screamed, quietly only he could hear, my face turned red. "What are yo-" I was interrupted, when a pair of sweatpants hit my face. I blushed, taking them. I noticed he wore sweat shorts underneath.

"You seriously think I was stripping to my boxers, did ya?" He chuckled. My face was pure red. Mixed with embarrassment and anger. "Put them on. Keep the legs warm." He looked away. I raised an eyebrow. He really did think of everything. Even a pair of sweatpants for me. I blushed, doing as he instructed. He soon wrapped the blanket around me.

"What about you?" I asked, my eyes sparkled with curiosity. He shrugged.

"I'll be fine. Sides, I didn't bring the blanket so we could cu-" I interrupted him when I wrapped the blanket around us. It was his turn to blush.

"You were saying?" I smiled, innocently at him. He gave a nervous laugh, his cheeks still red. I couldn't help it. He embarrassed. me, it was my turn. "We're going to cuddle and your going to like it." I said to him

He gulped. "Yes ma'am.." He looked away, as I scooted closer. He ate more snacks, watching the moon rise and looking at the stars. We played a game on who could make out as many constellation and their back story. We ended with a tie. We laughed as we layed back. Surprisingly, the thing covered two human bodies. I sighed and I instantly cuddled Drake arm for warmth. He blushed furiously. His body heat rose up. I looked up at him as he smiled weakly back. I closed my eyes. I fallen into a deep sleep.

I woke up, surprised to be in my bunk, still wearing Drake's sweatpants and the blanket folded neatly at the end of my bunk.

"Hey, Liz. Drake dropped by, carrying you to your bunk. You looked content so he didn't wake you." I herd Ajax say, I looked under my bunks to look at Ajax who was sketching on his note pad.

"How'd you know I was awake?" I asked first.

"When you wake up, you shift a little, causing the bunk to creek." He answered, as if it was obvious. For an Apollo kid, he does come with some Hermes trait. I smiled.

"Drake in his cabin?" I asked.

"He's at the big house after he checked in." Ajax looked up to meet my face. "You slept for a long while. Must've been a good dream for once."

"More or less.." I replied. Ajax smiled.

"Nico came back..you might wanna go check on him. Big House." I nodded, quickly changing in my bunk, and hurried off toward the Hermes cabin. I asked his step-sister, Jamie, to put the sweats on his bunk. I walked to the Big House, humming and almost skipping. I hardly ever do those two at once. I walked in the Big House to see Drake and Nyssa. Nyssa waved at me as Drake turned. I smiled and sat. Drake was getting tips from Nyssa. Sounded like he wasn't able to go to the forge today.

"Also do…. don't forget to move….oh, and use…" Nyssa told Drake as he listened intently. I sat there, smiling all the while, not knowing a single thing. I laughed mentally. Nyssa finished as Drake thanked her. It was left Drake and I. I yawned, already tired. Drake turned towards me. He looked like he was going say something. I stopped him by resting my head on his shoulder. Falling asleep once more.
