"Daring to wear something different takes effort"

Miuccia Prada

I have decided that now, I will become more then I ever have been.

I will become more then just the girl I was I will be something now.

I will do something now.

And even if the only something I ever do is fall in love and have a child, my child will be proof that I did something.

And I have decided that I will begin this new journey, with sleep.

I have been pregnant for 1440 minutes. I have been sleeping for the past 480 of them.

I heard a knock on my door, and then footsteps of someone letting them self into my private bedroom in the Zeus Cabin. I felt one side of me sink a little into my bed and I groaned, rolling over.

"Morning Princess," I heard, and I knew it was Michael's voice. The question was why was he in my room and why wasn't he letting me sleep.

I mumbled a mix of syllables that sounded something like, "Go away..." I loved him, but today I just wasn't ready to face the world. I knew I had things to do, a life to live, whatever. But today I was going to live it inside of my bed.

Michael laughed a little, and I knew he was smirking though I was too lazy to turn around and actually open my eyes. "Aww come on Blakey. Don't make me wake you up like I welcomed you to camp 3 years ago..."

I laid there for a moment, not really processing what he was saying because I was so tired. Welcome. Camp. 3 years ago...

I sat up so fast you would've thought I had been awake this whole time just waiting for the person to yell "GO". My blonde hair was in weird angles and I was wearing no makeup but the mention of water woke me up. Like I said, Daughters of Zeus didn't do well with water.

"You wouldn't" I narrowed my eyes at him, as he just smirked at me looking pleased with himself. My eyes wandered from Michael to the plastic water gun resting on my bedside table. Then I looked over to the silver clock across the room and I tried not to sigh.

So maybe it was 11:30 in the afternoon

And maybe I had been sleeping for a while

But still...

Just five more minutes?

Michael laughed getting up from my bed and taking his old plastic water gun with him. "I'm heading to lunch...see you in 10." he said closing the door and leaving me to pout.

I guess it was time to start becoming something

And I can't do that from my bed.

I grabbed a pair of pink shorts and an old white Nike T-shirt Michael had left in my room once and tried to brush out the blonde mess that became my hair.

In record time, and absence of makeup, I slowly made my way to lunch not wanting to be there with all the people and the judging eyes. Even know they didn't know I was pregnant still felt like every thing I did they were watching, and shaking their head in disapproval.

So I sat at the Nike Cabin table even though I wasn't aloud to

And I rearranged the food on my plate like 6 times even know I wasn't supposed to

And I tried to look normal though I wasn't doing a great job

"Why? Why couldn't you just let me sleep?" I complained resting my head on the shoulder of Camp Half-Blood's Bad Boy.

He laughed, "Because." he started playfully trying to push me off his shoulder but I wouldn't budge. "Ok first of all it would look strange if the day after our anniversary you just hide out in your room all day..."

I frowned, because yet again the Son of Nike was right. That was the downside of dating a son of victory; you could never win an argument. Everyone in camp knew yesterday was our 3 year anniversary; we were (I think) the most popular couple in Camp.

"And?"

"And," he smirked, "The Blake I fell in love with doesn't just sleep her life away."

"Yes I do!" I protested, wishing to be back in my bed at the current moment.

"No, you don't." he said back to me.

I think I have now been pregnant for 1450 minutes, not that anyone other then me is keeping track. And as much as I didn't want to admit he was right again, he was right.

I am becoming more then I have even been

And if I'm going to do that there are going to be good days, and days I'll want to forget.

But it doesn't matter

Its just life

I'll just have to keep dancing through
