Chapter 38 ~ Caught

ANNABETH :

Camp fires smell so camp fire like. That made no sense. Percy and I sat next to each other. They passed out marshmallows. Percy gave me a stick and I stabbed it through my marshmallow. Then, we both pointed the tip of the stick with the marshmallow at the fire. Now is the time to wait for the s'mores. It felt so warm and fuzzy, being here. Just like Percy. I sighed and laid my head on Percy's shoulder. If I'm not mistaken, I could have sworn that I saw Brandi hold a camcorder.

Chiron strummed the guitar and we sang random songs about logs, fire and s'mores. I had a lot of laughs. The One D boys were telling ghost stories that end up like this,

"Once, I saw a ghost and it was..." Louis started to say. We all leaned forward, wanting him to continue. But suddenly, "Boo!"

The girls mostly shrieked and the boys jerked backwards. Louis was laughing his head off, knowing the prank worked. We rolled our eyes and the other four boys of One D made a silent agreement and pushed Louis of the log he was sitting on.

It was getting late and we were all bubbly and hyper because of the s'mores. Except for Georgie and Melissa. They were scared that they might get fat. Huh. It was time for bed and I saw Katherine print for our cabin. I said a goodbye to Percy and slipped into my cabin. I saw that Katherine was already under the covers.

I slipped into my PJs and curled under the covers.

I woke up the next morning and remembered about the Twitter Cam thingy. I took a shower and wore a pair of shorts and an orange shirt. I noticed that Katherine wasn't here. She must have woken up earlier than me. I went to the pavilion and joined Percy for breakfast.

He was wearing a pair of khaki pants and a blue t shirt. There were a few other people but I didn't see Katherine or Peter. Breakfast consisted of bacon and eggs... And a chicken smothered in a special sauce I always see at Nandos. I raised an eyebrow.

"Rumour has it, Niall requested this." Percy said and I smiled. It was pretty good. We were half way through eating when Chiron made an announcement.

"Alright, we will go strawberry picking on this fine morning. Report to the strawberry fields at 9 a.m." I smiled. Ah, strawberries. Percy and I finished breakfast. We walked hand in hand to the strawberry fields. I hope no one noticed our hands. We wouldn't want to blow our cover.

When we arrived at the fields, it was about 5 more minutes till 9. Chiron was already there and he handed out small baskets to those already present. Then, he told us to pick the ripe strawberries. The ones already there were us, one of the mentors and One Direction. We spread out to cover more ground.

I knelt down and plucked a bright red strawberry. Then, I put it in the basket. Percy was behind me, helping me by holding the basket. I skipped through the rows, careful not to step on any strawberry plants. Pretty soon, our basket was almost full.

"Hey, how come you don't do the work ?" Percy whined. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm the one plucking the strawberries." I answered. He pouted.

"But, I'm the one holding this thing."

I huffed. "If you stop whining, I'll let you join me for the live stream this evening."

His face brightened and he kissed me on the cheek. "Okay !"

"Stop that." I told him. Then I whispered,"You'll blow our cover..."

We walked and finally met up with the One Direction Boys. Zayn and Liam were holding the baskets. Niall and Harry were plucking the strawberries and Louis just stood there, hands in his pockets.

"Why aren't you helping ?" asked Percy. Louis made a face and held one of the strawberries. He looked at it and made a face.

"I don't see the use of strawberries. Carrots have a lot of nutrition. But, what do strawberries do ? Absolutely nothing." He muttered and through the strawberry over his shoulder.

"Hey !" Someone shrieked. We all looked over to see Georgie wiping her face. She looked at the strawberry goo and scowled. Apparently, Louis threw a rotten one at her. Louis mumbled a sorry and we all got back to our strawberry picking. But, we kept replaying Georgie's face. Pretty soon, we were laughing and couldn't stop.

"That was perfect aim." I praised Louis for the umpteenth time.

At 10, Chiron let us go back to our cabins. Percy and I decided to go to mine. We walked towards my cabin, talking about random things. I grasped the knob and twisted it. Then, I pushed the door, unaware of what awaited me.

"Oh my god ..." I muttered as I took in the scene before me.

Peter and Katherine were on her bed, making out. They noticed us and pulled away from each other, faces completely flushed. Katherine's hair was a bit tangled and her shirt had ridden a bit up. Peter looked the same way.

"What is going on ?" asked Percy, closing the door so that no one could hear us.

"I.. We..." Katherine trailed off, eyes as wide as saucers. The two exchanged glances and so did Percy and I.

I will be uploading my story once a week because I have a lot of homework.
