LOVE IS COMPLICATED

Mary rushed towards Luke.

''What the Hades is wrong with you?!", Mary cried, pulling Luke away. Thankfully, there didn't seem to be any lasting damage.

''I'm fine'', Luke muttered, pushing away Mary's arm.

''What in Tartarus possessed you to try and murder your forehead?", Mary demanded.

''Emily'', Luke murmured.

''What?'', Mary asked, thinking she misheard him.

''Emily!", he said more clearly.

''Yeah, what about her?"

''I-I think-no-I know that I...''

''That you..?"

''That I love her!", the words burst out of his mouth, and he buried his head in his arms.

''YOU WHAT?!", Tom and Mary shouted together.

''I love her, okay? I'm always thinking about her! When I'm sleeping, when I'm awake, she's like, practically the only person on my mind! And it doesn't hurt that she's smart, and brave, and strong, and funny, and gods, she's soooo Gorgeous! Like, have you seen her amazing eyes, and her long, soft hair, and how come she always smells like vanilla?''

''Okay, stop! Its wierd to hear you talk like that about my twin!"

Luke suddenly scowled, and then his face got a defeated look.

''What is it?", Tom asked, looking concerned.

''Its just that, what if Emily doesn't like me back? What if she hates me instead?", Luke said, panicking.

''Calm down!"

''Dude! Nine 'O' clock! Nine 'O' clock! Someone's trying to ask Emily out!", Tom suddenly shouted, pointing towards the arena, where two guys were obviously trying to chat-up Emily.

Luke felt his blood boil, as stabs of jealousy tore through his heart. He clenched his fists, as he observed them from a distance.

One of the guys Oh-so-casually tried to pull her closer towards himself.

THATS IT!

Luke stood up, and marched over to them.

''Hi guys, whats up?'', Luke asked, casually placing an arm around Emily's waist, though even the small amount of contact made his heart-beat increase ten-fold.

''Bye Andy! Bye Ryan!", Emily said, with a forced smile.

''Sooo...are we on for tomorrow?'', a guy, whom Luke presumed to be Ryan, asked.

''Erm..no. You see, I'm busy with...with...''

''With me tomorrow", Luke cut in, glaring at the guys, earning him a grateful smile from Emily, that made his cheeks heat-up.

Back off! his glare seemed to say She's mine!

The guys got the hint, and backed-off, leaving Emily and Luke alone in the arena.

''Uhh...I should go shower, I probably smell horrible!"

Luke totally disagreed. She smelt great! Like vanilla and roses...

''Hey!", she said, her voice sweet, but soft.

''Do you have anything to tell me? You look troubled", she continued.

He took a deep breathe. This was the perfect opportunity! He would confess, she would kiss him, and they would live happily ever after!

''Yeah...I-I do need to tell you something...''

''You can tell me anything, Luke. We're best friends!"

Best friends...

Best friends...

Best friends...

The words echoed in his head, as he felt his heart shatter, and crumble.

With two words she had made asking her out impossible. She had indirectly said that they were best friends, and could never be anything more.

''Yeah, we're best friends!", he muttered bitterly, before walking away, leaving a very confused Emily behind.

He sloped off to the Hermes Cabin, where a calendar was hanging outside.

He read the date, before groaning, and putting his head in his hands.

OH, THE IRONY! TODAY WAS BEST FRIENDS' DAY!

"Why did love have to be so complicated?", Luke asked, nobody in particular, as he walked back to his cabin
