I just want to thank you sonofthetrigod for your ever-encouraging reviews! No words can express my gratitude!

For that, I dedicate this chapter to you!

Laonasa Enllyn Avery asked me: "Summer, after the current SYOCs are finished, are you going to continue on doing different situations for the given demigods?"

My answer: I was thinking about it ever since I made this story and since you brought it up, yes I am.

Summer's POV

I admit; I was a bit sad and disappointed that my half-sister, Lucy, asked me a question I had to ponder about the whole day.

"Do you have any relations with someone?" She'd asked me.

I lightly blushed. "What do you mean?"

Lucy sighed. "Summer, you know what I mean."

"I haven't…" I mumbled, a tad bit embarrassed.

"Well if you meet someone, tell me about him."

I inwardly shook my head. Lucy can be so annoying sometimes.

Little did I know what she meant.

After Lunch…

I had been contemplating over Lacy's words.

What did she mean by that? I doubt something will happen. Every day is like the other day. But some days could change. As said, when you're a demigod, weird things could happen. So there's some meaning behind Lacy's words?

I have been drowning in concentration when someone had stopped me.

I looked up it and sure enough, it was an Ares kid looking down at me with an unfriendly face. Such luck for me.

"Now where do you think you're going?" He asked me. He just wanted to start a fight, I knew that. I wouldn't let him. For all I care.

"Just let me be." I mumbled as I tried to pass him.

He stopped me again. "You won't be getting away that easily."

I looked him straight in the eye, heart pounding with nervousness and a bit of fear. "What is it that you want from me?" I tried to sound brave. He had than mean look on his face, making me think that all he wanted to do was injure me.

I was correct. Without warning, he pushed me down. Before he could brutally beat me, someone tackled him down. I sighed in relief.

When the Ares kid was passed out and beaten up, the demigod turned to me and nervously helped me up.

I locked eyes with him and immediately blushed.

He had black hair (that was brown in the sunlight) with bangs that slightly covered his eyes. It was unruly, but I didn't mind… I thought it was actually cute. He was gazing at me with his chocolate brown eyes.

I looked away for a split second. "Um… thanks…" I managed. Smooth, Summer.

"Hey… no problem." He smiled at me… almost shyly.

I cleared my throat. "I'm Summer, Summer Starlim. And… you are?"

"Christopher Mitchell. (sonofthetrigod) You can call me Chris." He replied.

I began to feel self-conscious and that's certainly not every day.

"Your godly parent?" I asked.

"Son of Tyche. And you?"

"Daughter of Aphrodite."

Awkward silence.

1… 2… 3… 4… 5…

I sighed. This won't get me anywhere. I decided to ask him a question.

"Um… Chris… what do you think of… Aphrodite girls?" I asked. As soon as I did, I immediately regretted it.

"They're okay I guess-"

I inwardly sighed in relief.

"-but I know that not all of them are what others think they are."

The last sentence caught me in surprise.

"And what do you mean by that?" I asked him once more, looking him in the eye.

He started to fidget. "Well… not all of them are as others seem… some are… well… different…"

That's weird… it described me perfectly, I thought.

We sat by a tree and awkward silence enveloped us again.

"So Summer," he began to open up a little, "tell me about yourself… what's going on so far?"

I like his eyes…

Chris looked at me weirdly. "You like… what?"

My face felt hot as I shook my head. "Oh… nothing…"

He waited for me to answer his question.

"Oh, sorry…" I felt a little embarrassed, "life is… confusing, I must say."

"In what way?" Chris asked me, getting into a more comfortable position,

"Well… depends on the situation. Right now, I have the time to relax." I smiled up at him and he smiled back. My heart did a small flutter.

What I didn't tell him though were all my problems… even if I tell anyone, they wouldn't get me. That's because they aren't me.

Chris looked up at the vast, blue sky. "If there was one thing in the world you would like to have, what would it be?"

"Difficult question. I mean… I'm satisfied with what I have now. There's nothing in this world I'd trade it for." Now that was the truth.

"That's a good point. We live in a good camp, we have great friends… what's more to ask for?"

That I couldn't argue.

We went into comfortable silence.

After a few more minutes of silence, I broke the ice.

"When I first saw you… you didn't seem that bad."

He looked a bit confused. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nevermind…"

"Tell me."

"I said nevermind."

"Tell me now or else I'll not stop pestering you."

I gave up. "Let's just say that you didn't look so bad."

He turned a light shade of pink and avoided eye contact. I silently cursed myself.

"I didn't mean to offend you…" I said, uncertainly.

He shook his head, any trace of his blush was now gone. "No, it's alright. You looked fine."

I did a little happy dance inside. He seemed to notice.

"Key word," he added cheekily, "looked. Past tense."

I playfully glared at him and lightly shoved him as he laughed.

"I hate you."

"You're welcome."

After talking with each other and having a few awkward moments here and there, it was getting late so we stood up.

"Well Summer, it was nice talking with you."

"Same here Chris."

We parted ways. When I looked back at him, he gave a wink. I blushed as I look away, contemplating about Lucy's words.

I wasn't sure if I portrayed him properly… only at the tree thing I guess… oh, whatever.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I uploaded late. Blame it on school.

I promise to update Percy Jackson Characters Discover Facebook soon, don't worry! This isn't over yet.
