Hey! So as you know, this is jut the third part of the chapter that was already out...anyways, on with the story!:D
No one's POV
The demigods pilled out of Argus's car, and climbed up Half Blood Hill. K.J and Jon looked around with awed expressions. The group walked down the hill and passed the many campers and cabins on their way to the Big House. They stopped in front, where Chiron and Dionysus were talking. They looked over and were needless to say, somewhat surprised to see so many new campers.
"Parker Jetson and Annibell Face. Hero and heroine of Olympus. Good to see you again." Dionysus mumbled. Jon and K.J. looked really confused, and the rest of the kids looked about ready to roll on the floor laughing. Especially with the stare Percy and Annabeth were both giving Mr. D.
"Yeah... great to see you too Mr. D. Um, anyways, Chiron, we brought K.J and Jon because we're almost certain they're demigo- oh look. At least we know that Jon is." Percy and the rest were starring above his head.
"What? Why is every- ahh!" Jon ducked. Above his head, was a glowing hammer. He slowly looked back up, and once he realized it wasn't going to hurt him, he stood back up.
"So, Jon. I guess you're a son of Hephaestus... oh my gods. I almost feel bad for you." Annabeth replied smirking.
"What? Why?"
"Because that would make Leo your sibling, and siblings live in the same cabin, and that means you have to live in a cabin with Leo." You could see the gears in Jon's head turning.
"Leo? As in Leo Valdez, Leo? The one that if you give sugar, will go insane? That Leo?" Annabeth nodded and Jon groaned. Out of no where, Simon started smirking. They all turned to look at him.
"What's so funny?" Percy asked.
"I just realized that Jon's name is Jonathan Liam Steele... ha! Steele. The irony." He said. Jon rolled his eyes. Chiron cleared his throat.
"Well, since Jon has now been claimed, why don't we get a camper to take him to the cabin and show him around? Joe! Can you come here for a second? I need you to show our new camper the Hephaestus cabin. Thank you." Jon walked off with Joe, and Chiron turned back to the others.
"Since K.J has not yet been claimed, she can room with Simon and Tayla. They can show her around. I am glad you demigods were able to bring back more. Now, you must go and get ready, it's starting to turn dark. You can have the rest of the day to yourselves." With that Chiron walked away.
"Well K.J, I guess you're rooming with me and Simon,"Tayla said smiling,"come on. I'm gunna show you around! I'll see the rest of you at dinner!" she grabbed K.J's hand, and practically dragged her to the undetermined cabins. Simon sighed.
"Well, I guess that leaves us. I think I'm going to go walk. I need some alone time." he quickly walked away.
Simon's POV
I looked around. I had been walking on the beach for a while, and quietly starring out onto the ocean. It was so peaceful, and I wish I could just stay here for hours. I climbed across the rocks, until I came to the one farthest out in the ocean. I sat down and hugged my knees to my chest. Everything had happened so fast these last couple of days, and I was kinda confused on why I was taking in everything so well. I breathed in the salty air. It was very calming. I loved the ocean, huh, any chance my dad could be related with the ocean?
I had been so wrapped up in my thoughts, that when someone tapped me on the shoulder, I freaked and jumped up... and over the edge of the rock into the freezing cold water, might I add.
When I finally broke the surface, I looked up to see a laughing Riley. I coughed a little as I tried to climb my way back up the rock.
When I finally got back up, Riley had stopped laughing, but looked about ready to burst any second.
"Not funny..." I mumbled. She immediately burst into a fit of laughter. I shivered.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Here, take my towel." she handed me her towel. I took it.
"Thanks... why do you have a towel?"
"I was getting ready to head down to the lake when I saw you. I wanted to come talk to you... you were sitting here a lone." I dried drying my hair and clothes as best as possible. I was definitely gunna have to change.
"Well, you want to sit down with me? I guess I'll have to air dry my clothes with the little bit of sunlight left."
"Sure." She sat down next to me with her feet dangling over the edge. We sat there in silence for a while just staring out over the beach.
"So," she said, turning to me. "This is probably a weird question, but what's school like? I've been at this camp as long as I can remember, and I've never been to a real school." I shrugged.
"It's good I guess. I think that once you've gone to school for most of your life, it tends to get boring. Every once in a while, something fun does come up... like take tomorrow for example, we have prom. Do you know what prom is?" she nodded.
"Yeah. A lot of the older Aphrodite girls talk about it, and I've seen a couple of my siblings getting ready for prom. I wish I could go. The way everybody describes it, makes it seem magical. Getting dressed up, being with your friends for a while, seems like fun. " She smiled, almost like she was dreaming. The sun was highlighting her face, and a slight breeze had picked up, pushing her hair back. This couldn't be really happening... I'm not turning into one of those people... am I? Right then and there I made a spilt decision. Well, it was more like my mouth made the decision.
"Well, how would you like to go to prom with me? Like, as friends... we are friends right?" I looked over at her. Her eyes had widened, and she was just staring at me. Um... she seemed to snap out of her haze, and crushed me in a hug.
"Oh my gods! That would be freaking amazing! Yes! I'd love to go with you! Thank you!" I hugged her back. she finally pulled away, blushing.
"Sorry. I'm just... really excited that I'm actually going to prom! I had better go, need to find something to wear. After all, it is tomorrow!" She smiled as she hopped up from her spot beside me, and waved as she went back towards the cabins.
I smiled.
Jon's POV
I sighed as I plopped myself onto my bed. Today has been quite a long day. I slung my backpack off my back and onto the ground as I started to unpack my things. Geez. Could this day get anymore stressful and confusing? A knock came from the door, like an answer to my prayers. I walked to the front door of the empty cabins, and swung it open. Out of nowhere, someone wrapped their arms around me, and I stumbled back a bit.
"Whoa!" I steadied myself. K.J. starred at me.
"I am so confused and stressed right now! Everything has happened so fast, and I don't know if I can take anymore of this Greek stuff right now! I'm so glad tomorrow is prom! A whole day without school, and just being with my friends and boyfriend." she smiled at me. I smiled back.
"Well, I can't wait. Are you sure you don't want to tell anyone about us? I don't think anyone's gunna care." she shook her head.
"Nah. I like not being bombarded with questions, thank you very much. Anyways, I just wanted to come and see how you were doing. Everyone's getting ready for supper. Ill see you there. 'Kay?" I nodded. She kissed me on the cheek before heading out.
Percy's POV (don't think I've done this in a while)
I walked back to my cabin after dinner. Yum. It was great to just be able to sit down and eat with everyone. I came up to my door, and found a pink stick note stuck to it. I raised an eyebrow and plucked it off the door. It was a note, and judging from the pink sticky note, and the perfect cursive letters (and the signature at the bottom), it was from Aphrodite.
Perseus,
Hi! I'm so excited for the prom tomorrow! So exciting getting to see Percabeth, and Frazel, and Jiper, and...well you get the point! I'm so excited to see you guys in your wonderful outfits (most of which I have personally picked out for each and everyone of you)! I have decided to change your look, just a tad! I have left a silver colored tie and watch along with a new pair of loafers on your bed. I hope you enjoy your prom!
Love, the goddess of love,
Aphrodite
I groaned. The last time I let her leave something in my cabin, well, let's just say she didn't like the decor, and did a little redecorating. I sighed. I am a man... I can do this. I braced myself for the worst as I slowly opened the door. Immediately, I was hit with a blast of pink balloons, purple confetti, and silver sparkles. I had a little mental breakdown right there. There is no way I could be okay after this... no way.
I braced myself for the worse.
The inside.
Hope you enjoyed! Make sure you PM me if you won the prom poll. Don't forget to review, follow, and favorite!:D I luv you guys!:D
