KENLIE
Julie woke up from sleep quietly; she can see her eyes are puffy through the mirror. The breakfast was quiet as well, piper didn't say anything, and neither did Jason.
"Dad, I am going to school" Julie said.
"Do you want me to drop there?" Jason asked.
"No I can go there myself"
"Julie it's dangerous to go alone, monsters will smell"
"Dad, I can take care of myself"
When Julie was gone Jason said "what happened to her, she looks like changed"
"It happens Jason, trust me. Same thing happened to you when we were falling in love" piper said.
The New York was busy as usual. And Julie was walking quietly. She never wanted to believe in fate, but fate is making her believe.
"No, it can't happen"
…
"I am sorry Julie, but you cannot be a hunter, I am sorry" Lady Artemis finally declared.
"Why, my lady" Julie said in shock.
"Because it's not your destiny"
"What you are talking my lady? I have enormous skills; I was one of the toughest demigod in camp half blood, why I can't be a hunter"
"Cause fates interrupted me my dear,"
"Why?" Julie was furious.
"You just can't be a hunter; you are destined to fall in love"
"Lady Artemis, please give me one chance, I will never fall in love"
"Yes my lady, give her one chance" aunt Thalia pleaded.
"Give her one chance goddess Artemis"
"SILENCE! Julie can't be a hunter and that's my final decision"
Julie didn't say, she didn't do anything. She just murmured, quietly…
"I WILL NEVER FALL IN LOVE, EVER"
…
FOWWWWWWWWWWW…
The harass sound of a running bus brought Julie back in reality. From that day she made promise to her, she will never fall in love. She kept that promise perfectly. Many campers, many hottie tried to hit on her, but she never gave a shit about them. Everything was perfect, until the ignorant smartass boy of famous Percy Jackson arrived.
….
The day wasn't like other days. Like Julie, Kenny woke up quietly. Got ready then got into Pauls car to go to the school along with mom and dad. Mom and dad didn't talk much either. Dad was whispering to mom, sometime mom will smile; sometime they will kiss each other.
That was their love.
Kenny always loved their passion. It made him think how about he had a girlfriend. Will he ever be able to love her like dad does mom? Yes, he flirts with other girls, but it never made him interested to other girls. He never actually had close female friends.
Except Julie.
That girl was a serious hardass beauty; Julie was one rare sword fighter who defeated him in sword fight. Being the son of famous Percy and annabeth he was skilled sword man from birth. Mom and dad both trained him throughout the childhood, and when he went to the camp, he was highly skilled sword man who has even higher skill with dagger. At first at camp, Julie instantly took his attention… man, that was serious beauty, at the same time she was ignorant as Hitler.
….
"All more proof that you're insane."
"I am not"
"Ow, yes you are"
"At least I am not like you who always try to control the situation with her own will"
"What did just say?"
"You heard what I said"
"At least I am not dump as you who always tries to be wisest person in the world"
"As being son of great annabeth and grandson of Athena, I am the wisest"
"No, you are not"
"I am"
"You are not"
"I am"
"You are not"
"I am"
"You are not"
…
It was their first game of capture of flag as opponent to each other. Kenny knew he needed a plan. Julie was never defeated before. She will protect the flag at any cost. And obviously they are going to face each other.
And they faced, it was obviously tough, dangerous and somehow nasty fight. And as well as, No one was going to give up. Julie strikes, Kenny blocks, Kenny strikes, Julie dodges, Julie charges again but Kenny was already at the backside of Julie.
Both of their swords clashed, and they were staring each other. huge lightning came from the sky , but it didn't blow them up.
Cause a barrier of lake water was already around them.
"Admit the defeat Jackson"
"You wish"
They charged again. The whole camp members were around the water barrier, it was the most turbulent fight they ever faced.
Julie stroked, Kenny reeled like wheel backward. But before he could realize, Julie stroke again. Kenny jolted her leg but could not dodge her attack. Soon they were both on the ground, Julie on top of Kenny, breathing hard.
The water barrier has broken down.
"I win, you lose"Julie said as her knife was already on the throat of Kenny.
"Actually I won, look behind"
Julie immediately gazed back, Kenny's group was cheering, and they already got the flag.
….
As said before, New York is the busiest city in the world, if you are standing quietly and staring at Hudson River, it won't give a shit to you.
Julie was doing the same thing. She was staring quietly at Hudson River. Being blessed by Zeus's power, water was her weakest point. She never liked the water. But that boy Kenny eventually made her feels that, she actually likes water.
…
Today was the worst day of Julie's life. Today was her birthday and nobody didn't even bother to wish her happy birthday. It's not like that nobody knew her birthday, at least her relative cabins like Aphrodite and Zeus cabin knew her birthday.
Julie was fuming, quietly went to the bed.
"Julie"
Julie didn't respond.
"Julie"
"Who is calling me" Julie got up. The voice was coming from outside of window. She quietly went to the window, sword already in hand. When she opened the door, outside was clean empty.
"Who is here?"
She didn't see anything, suddenly a figure emerged, Kenny. Yankees cap in hand.
"What the tartarus are you doing here" Julie said in cold tone.
"I forgot to give you one thing"
"What?"
"This", Kenny stretched his hand; there was cup cake in his hand and a burning candle.
"That's all I could arrange for you Julie, happy birthday"
Julie was speechless for a moment; she couldn't find any suitable word.
"You. You knew, how?"
"I knew, and I will, always and I have a surprise for you Julie" Kenny said in bright tone.
"Wha …"
She could not ever finish her word, before every campers shouted out from behind…
""Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you…
Happy birthday dear friend,
Happy birthday, to, youuuuuuu"
Julie rarely faced this feeling, this special feeling.
"I am sorry Julie , I made everyone promise that no one will wish you today until now , all for this little surprise , if you want to snub me, you can"
She didn't. Julie just hugged Kenny through the window. Maybe for a little bit time.
And for the first time, she felt that feeling, that famous butterfly feeling in stomach.
