An Idiot in Love
I know this is kind of obvious, but I just have to say, I'm an idiot. I mean seriously, what was I thinking? I joined Kronos' army, went into the labyrinth, and didn't see what was right in front of me.
All those days training in the arena, she kicked my butt every time. All those games of capture the flag, if I was on her team I was behind her as we fended off the opposing team, if not, well, she kicked my butt. Every night, right there at the campfire, laughing and singing those stupid camp songs. Only an idiot would leave.
I don't know how I missed it. When I left, she was the only thing I even considered staying for. Even in the labyrinth, when I knew I might die at any moment, she was always on my mind.
Back in the arena, I used to let her win, because seeing her smile was worth the pain. In the heat of the battle, when she just let her instincts take over and just fought, she was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. So in the labyrinth, she was all I thought of. If I had to think of anything in my last moments, I'd always want it to be her.
So how did I not see it? Why did I leave?
Because I'm an idiot, that's why.
But, somehow, I think insanity was the best thing that's ever happened to me. Because it brought everything into focus.
When Mr. D brought me back to reality, I remembered everything. She had rescued me, stood by me the entire time, even when it seemed all hope was lost. She was there for me when I needed her, when no one else was.
She was the first thing I thought of. But, for the first time, I realized why. Why, no matter what others had said, I always saw her as the most amazing, beautiful person in the world.
I may be an idiot, but I'm an idiot who's in love. And the only smart thing I've done is fall in love with Clarisse La Rue.
