I was lying in my bed, in my cabin. I was thinking about me and Travis. I felt for Percy like I did Travis. I mean, yea, Travis was cute, but over the school year Percy had worked out and gotten totally ripped! He wasn't cute anymore he was SEXY! I closed my eyes and sighed at the thought. It had started to get darker the longer that I laid there and soon it was time for dinner. My brothers, sisters, and I all went down to the dining pavilion. I spotted Percy and, for an instant, I swear that our eyes met and he saw that I still had feelings for him. But he turned around and went on to the Poseidon table. My sister, Lacy, grabbed my arm and dragged me to our table. Before we could eat though, we offered part of our food to the gods. "For Athena," I whispered, hoping my mom would like cheeseburgers. I picked up my fork and just stabbed at my food till it was nothing but a pile of mush.
When dinner was over, I was still sitting there when Travis came over, slid onto the bench next to me, and wrapped a comforting arm around my shoulders. He lightly kissed the top of my head and laid his head on top of mine. I breathed in his scent and started to sob. I missed Percy; he always had a comforting scent. He smelled of the salt of the sea. It was very comforting and yummy? I don't know. Travis felt my shoulders shaking and lifted my chin up so that I was forced to look into his never ending green eyes. He was beautiful and gorgeous in so many ways. But I had a small spot in my heart for Percy, and that part was trying to grasp dominance over my heart. It was fighting with the dominant part that was for Travis. Every girl that I knew was vying for the attention of Percy and I felt jealous. At dinner I caught him staring at Silena Beauregard and anger bubbled up inside of me! I thought 'Grrr! No one messes with MY Percy!' Oh gods! What was I saying! I really did still care for Percy! Shit! I wriggled out of Travis' arms and ran to my cabin and slammed the door shut! Thank the gods that everyone was at the sing-along down at the amphitheater, I needed time to think alone. I crawled into my bed and under the covers and kept sobbing until I fell asleep.
