I am watching Zach eat, I know, I'm being a creep. I can't get over his eyes, and his hair that almost matches my natural hair color.
"Uh, Ally? You alright?" He suddenly asks me.
"What?" I ask.
"Your hair is changing." He says.
Oh Styx, I am starting to lose control of my hair. I quickly bring up the image of a long ponytail of platinum blonde hair, and I manage to bring it up before my peach fuzz shows.
"Wow, you can change your looks?" Zach asks in wonder.
"Yeah," I feel my eyes flicker from pink to blue to green, and back to purple. "I can."
"What else can you do?" He asks.
"I'll tell you later, it's kinda a long list." I say, going back to my goblet of sprite.
A couple minutes later, we all stand up and go say bye to everyone. I hug Thalia goodbye, and I see Nico hug Will bye. I then see Zach hug a girl bye, and I almost loose hope. Until I notice the girl is the daughter of Apollo, and I feel like Zach is the son of Apollo.
"So, Allagy," He startles me.
"Yeah?" I ask.
"Who is your godly parent? Aphrodite?" He asks. Oh gods, he is totally flirting with me.
"Zeus and Hecate." I reply.
"How?"
"The Fates."
"Ah yes, the Fates. The source of all Demigod problems."
"Are you new to camp?"
"No, I've been here for a while."
"Well, I guess I should say bye before Coach comes and whaps us over the head with his bat. See ya later Zach." I spread my wings and take off.
"Bye Ally." I hear him say. I land on the deck of the ship, and I pace the deck until everyone comes up.
"Allagy, can I see you for moment?" I hear Jason ask.
"Sure." I stutter, knowing where this is going. He brings me into his room, and I sit on the bed.
"Do you like Zach?" He asks.
I blush. "Um, yeah, I do."
"Well, that's good. At least you don't deny it like nuts. Just know, if he so much as hurts you, I will personally put him in a blender." Jason threatens.
"Okay chill Jase. I'm not even sure if he likes me back." I hold my hands up in a chill gesture.
"Well, I heard him ask you if your godly parent was Aphrodite. If that isn't demigod flirting, then I don't know what is." Jason replies.
"Okay, what should I do then?" I ask.
"I'll talk to him sometime. Don't let your relationship get in the way of anything though." He opens the door for me to leave. I walk to the deck, and I see Zach, Percy, Annabeth, Magnus, and Leo. Leo is showing Percy and Annabeth something, while Magnus and Zach are talking.
"Um, Zach? Jason wants to talk to you." I call for Zach. He goes into Jason's room, and I go into my room. I sit on one of my branches near the ceiling, and I read a story from Feitro. A couple minutes later, someone knocks on my door.
"It's open!" I yell as I turn off the book.
Annabeth steps through and says, "We are taking off. Want to come outside to watch the camp?"
"Sure." I say, gliding to the ground. When I get out, I see the couples are split up, with Nico and Jason sitting by Festus, the dragon. I walk up to Zach, and I stand next to him. Being the son of Apollo, he radiates heat.
"Hey Ally." He says.
"Hi, it's a nice view, huh?" I say, trying to start a convorsation.
"Yeah, but I bet it's nothing like flying." He says.
"Correct, but flying comes at a price."
"Why?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's just enjoy the view." I say, turning my head back to the camp.
He takes my chin and turns it to him.
"Okay. I'm enjoying the view." He says. This is so cheesy, but so adorable.
"Me too." I reply, blushing as I turn my body to him. Me being so tall, he is only half an inch taller than me. He leans in, and touches his forehead against mine.
"Allagy Paraskina, do you take me, Zachary Collins, to be your boyfriend?" He whispers.
"I would love to." I say before tilting my head up and touching my lips to his. He tastes like honey and smells like a beach. I move my hands up around his neck and I trace his spine and run my fingers through his hair. He grabs my waist and pulls us closer as our lips move in sync, like we were made for each other. After what seems like an eternity, we break apart and look at each other's eyes.
I hear a goat bleat, and an attention grabbing cough.
"Zachary. Allagy." I hear Coach bark.
"Oh leave them be Coach." Annabeth says.
I blush, and so does Zach. We simply resort to holding hands and watching the sunset. It is very beautiful from above the clouds.
"Zach, come here." I whisper and pull him to the mast. We climb to the top, and I pull out my paracord that I keep in my jacket pockets. I tie a harness around him, and I pull him off the mast. I spread my wings and I fly him around the ship. We land a couple minutes later, and Zach looks amazed.
"Wow, I never thought I would get to see what flying was like!" He exclaims as he gets out of the harness.
"Yeah, it's pretty fun." I say.
"Let me walk you to your room." He says, and holds out his arm for me. I take it, and we walk to my room.
"I had fun Zach." I blush when we stop at my room.
"Me too. Good night." He says before kissing me. It is a short but sweet kiss, and I watch him walk down the hall to his room. I unlock my door, and I walk in. I notice the sky is tinged pink still, even though it is dark outside. It must reflect my emotions. I am so happy that Zach kissed me, like I'm on Cloud 9, both literally and figuratively. I undress and I get on my pjs, and I crawl into my branch bed and fall asleep dreaming about Zach.
