It was a sweltering hot summer day and the entirety of Camp Half-Blood were either sunbathing or wallowing in the lake. Chiron had warned everyone to wear sun lotion and drink lots, but despite that, several people had been admitted to the infirmary from dehydration.
Percy was charging a dollar to campers to be doused by water and was raking it in.
Nico was huddled in Will's shadow, dressed in rolled-up jeans and a black vest.
As the sun began to set and the campers began to breath in cooler air, Jason strutted up to Percy and everyone around them instantly went silent.
Nico reflected on how dependent the campers were on Percy and Jason's stupid game, before leaning in to hear what they would say.
"Hey, bro?"
"Yeah, bro?"
"Are you coming to the barbeque tonight?"
Percy looked around at Jason from where he was soaking campers, still lined up for their few seconds of relief. "What barbeque?"
Jason leaned into Percy's ear and the camp strained forward in fear of missing the line.
"Where I put my meat inside your grill." he whispered sultrily, snaking an arm around Percy's waist.
The teenagers shrieked in recognition of the pun while Percy went bright red.
Two more chapters... I have been saying that for the past five.
In recent news, I have started school, realised what a complete idiot my Science is (In Year Seven, he stuck his hand over a Bunsen Burner, which is fire to show us it was hot and went on to snatch his hand back, declaring 'Oh la la'. Today *while waving around scapels and sharp objects and pointing them at the poor kids in the front row* 'These are dangerous. Do not point them at people')
Hope ya'll are doing okay, remember to have a drink, sit up straight, and my PM box is always open.
Fez.
