"Oh... you know... just the usual. Grover being scared of Mr.D, Clarrise being a bit of a bitch to the younger campers, and Chiron with his random words of wisdom." I said.
"Sounds like you might've been bored without me here." He teased.
"Someone's a little full of himself." I laughed.
"Ya whatever you say, Wise Girl."
"Oh uh, I guess there is something new." I said, changing the subject before I started to blush.
"Oh?"
"Ya theres a new camper. Son of Hermes. He uh, just came to camp. I'm kinda... suck with him a bit... u know just to make sure he gets use to the way things work around here."
"Ohhhh i see... stuck with him huh?"
"Ya, is that a problem?"
"Uh... no. Just as long as I get my time with you too."
"Don't worry, I'll squeeze you in." I smiled.
"Good." He said as he grabbed my hand. "Common, let's go. Dinner should be any minute."
As if on que, the horn blew for dinner. We walked to the dining pavlon, hand in hand, before we had to sit at our serate tables. I glanced over at the Hermes table and notices Luke sitting at the end, where the new comers always had to sit. He must've felt pretty out of place, not being at the head of the table. I almost felt bad for him... almost. But then I thought about why he was there...
After we all ate, I decided I'd get a bit of training in, since I'd been busy with Luke lately. I walk into the arena, only to find Luke. He definatly hadn't lost his touch in swordfighting. I watched from the doorway as he sliced a training dummy into pieces. Once he finished it off, I decided to speak up.
"You've still got it, Luke"
He jumped and spun around to face me. "Oh hey. Uh thanks. I feel out of practice."
"Ah you're doing fine. But you need to steady your footing more. Here, pass me a sword."
He handed me one and I demonstraded. He copied and next thing I knew, we were neck in neck, sword slashing at eachother, trying to nock it out of the other's hand. Finally I was able to pull the exact move he had taught Percy on his first year here, and Luke sword scidded across the gravel. He just stood there, panting.
"You've been training hard." He stated.
"You should see me with my knife." I said, proudly.
"Oh, I have... I could kick your ass!"
"Like you just did, right?" I teased.
"In my defence, I HAVE been dead." He said.
"Ok fair enough." I said as be both laughed.
Then we heard someone clear there throut. I turned to see Percy standing in the door way. How long had he been standing there?
"Oh hey, we were just sword-"
"Swordfighting, ya I can tell."
There was an awkward silence.
"Um, Percy, this is Jake. He's the new son of Hermes I told you about. Jake, this is my boyfriend, Percy." I said.
"Percy. Nice to meet you." Luke said, extending his hand for Percy to shake.
"Ya, you too." He said looking at me before shaking his hand.
"So Seaweed Brain, what's up?"
"I wanted to see if you wanted to go watch the sunset at the beach, but it's over now and you're busy anyway so nevermind. I'll just see you tomorrow." He said, looking kinda sad as he left the arena.
"I take it you didn't tell him who I really am?" Luke asked, breaking the silence.
I sighed. "Nope..."
