Chapter 3! I would just like to say thank you to all the people who favorited my story or followed it or something. Whenever I'm unhappy, I think of those favorites and I do a happy dance. :-)

As I lay in my bunk that night, I couldn't stop thinking about Peter, lying in bed in the Hermes cabin. Eventually, I was too restless to sleep, so I quietly rolled out of bed. I headed down to the beach. To my surprise, someone was already there. I could tell by the hood it was Peter. I sat down next to him.

"Hey," I said. He looked at me, which was eerie, because I couldn't see any of his features.

"Hey," he replied.

"Are you ever going to take your hood of?" I blurted out.

"I will when I'm ready. Besides, I put a curse on it."

"What?"

He laughed. "If anyone touches it, they'll turn blue."

"Ah. Do you want to swim?"

"Nope."

I shrugged and slipped out of my shoes. I stood in the water and put my face up to the stars.

"You look so at ease," Peter said suddenly.

"That's because I am. The sea is Percy's territory. I will always be safe in water."

"Who's Percy?"

With difficulty, I told him about Percy and how he went crazy. I doubt that you should talk about your ex in front of a guy you like. His shoulders tensed.

"That doesn't seem right. I'm going to look into that."

I shrugged again, although I wanted to yell at him to get a move on and prove Percy's innocent! But, again, that behavior isn't advised around crushes. Wait, what? I don't have a crush on Peter. Do I?

After a while, we both went back to our cabins. I fell asleep and dreamed Percy was chasing me, yelling that I couldn't like Peter or he'd capture me with a whale. Then I woke, and with a chilling feeling, I realized that I didn't know if it was Percy, because it sounded like Peter. But I figured that it was Percy and they just sounded similar.

The next morning, I sat with my siblings, and Peter sat with the Hermes cabin. As we were leaving, an Ares child named Dave said, "Do you now why he never takes his hood off? It's 'cause he's ugly!"

Faster than you could say idiot, Peter had his sword out and under Dave's chin.

"You wanna say that again?" Peter growled.

"N-n-No! No, sir! S-sorry!"

Peter sheathed his sword and was out of the mess hall before Dionynus or Chiron could get after him.

Another chapter done! I know, it's short, but I will post Chapter four tonight!
