I'm not Peppy anymore :/

Malcolm POV

I smiled- remembering the thought.

The feeling I got when my lips touched Ella's. Energy had coursed through my veins-making me feel twisty and giggly and…stuff. Someone laughed at my expression. I whirled around- and saw Luna and Leo.

I smiled weakly at them "….Hey….What's up guys?" I managed.

Leo raised his eyebrows. "Why are you so giggly today?" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ugh….Breakfast?" I managed. Luna stifled a giggle

"You hate breakfast" she pointed out. Ugh. She got me there.

"Umm…..You know what they say…The most important meal of the day…"

"Like in SpongeBob?" Leo hoped. I shrugged.

"I guess" Luna punched my shoulder

"Spill it" she said sitting down on the floor looking attentively at me. She was blinking. Creeepppyyyy. Leo sat next to her, playing with a pipe cleaners he found in his jacket pocket.

"ADHD?" I said. Luna groaned.

"Malcolm; your hiding something. Spill it" she said annoyed

"Fineee! They're interviewing this author on this channel . That's my favorite author"

"Ohmygods. Are you serious?" Luna facepalmed. I nodded.

"You have no life" Leo said.

"Says the boy that still plays with pipe cleaners"

Heyyyyy!" Leo whined. Luna rolled her eyes

"Let's go Valdez" she said tugging the collar of his shirt, and walking out of my cabin.

Ahh, The wonders on being a bookworm….. I smiled again- my fingers tracing over her in a picture. I smiled and chuckled. I remembered her shocked clueless expression. It was cute.

But how does she still not know I liked her, and not teasing her? She knows I don't play around. Everyone else knew- even Percy- the retard at camp. Heck, even Jake knew- and he's pretty clueless when it comes to people liking people. I groaned- longing for her to be next to me. I walked over to her cabin and knocked- to find a groggily-looking Pollux.

"You knocked?" he asked groggily, scratching his scalp and yawning.

"Um…." Nawhhh! I was just looking at your door with interest and I accidently banged on the door I thought.

He shrugged and signaled someone behind him "Ella it's for you" he said groggily. I heard him crawl back to bed and snore.

Gee….he must be sleepy.

Ella walked over to the door. She was in her pajamas. Remember those cute short shorts? Yeah…she's wearing them.

"Hey" I said awkwardly rubbing the back of my head.

"Hi!" she said in a peppy voice but it kind of wavered after she finished saying it.

"Can I come in?" I asked. She smiled brightly

"Sure!" She opened the door more widely. I stepped inside, and sat on her bed. She sat next to me playing around with her pillow.

"About yesterday…." She started. I looked at her. She was blushing.

"I guess that was pretty awkward…." I said. She was looking at me. I rubbed the back on my head again. I really should have thought twice about kissing her.

"Yeah" she said slowly.

"Look, can we like forget that?" I asked uneasily. She nodded. I smiled at her

"You have chess?" I asked staring intently at a chess board with pieces in a bookshelf. She nodded.

…

She didn't talk the whole game.

"I win" I said smiling superiorly.

"Yes you're so superior because you won a chess game" she smiled

"Thanks for saying that" I grinned.

Ella smirked at me. She gave me a hug. "I got sword practice now K?" she said pointing to the door.

I tightened my hug "Okay" I said.

"Hey Malcolm?"

"Yeah?"

"Can't breathe" I released her- give her a lop-sided grin. She returned the smile weakly- leaving me alone with her snoring brother.

"Stupid Twilight moments" I muttered under my breath. Then I felt someone breathing on my neck. I looked behind me.

Oh the gods. Dionysus. Breathing down on me. Giving me the eye.

Yup, doesn't get much creepier than this

"Ermm…. Director D….?" I asked

Dionysus rolled his eyes- sipping on his diet coke.

"Now Macy, I do not you playing with my daughter's heart. We understanding Macy?" he asked.

I sighed. "Sir, its Malcolm" I said saying my name very slowly

"Ah, who cares Marie?" he snapped. "Answer my question"

"Yes…But…um….I…like…um….love…your….daughter" he snorted.

"This better not end up like Theseus- Ariadne dilemma"

"It won't" I promised.

"I'm not saying anything, Martha" he rolled his eyes and then he washed away in purple smoke.

"Malcolm" I corrected but he was already gone

….

Ella POV

I slashed at the dummies uninterestedly.

I was mentally breaking down

Malcolm wanted me to forget everything from yesterday? The way his lips danced across mines….

That- was in impossible to forget. And trust me; if you're in love, you'll understand. I turned around to see an amused Percy.

"You sooooo like Malcolm" he smirked. WHAT DID HE MEAN!

"Ugh?"

"You- like- Malcolm" he said slowly.

"I guess…" I said.

"I'M GOING TO TELL HIM!" he yelled, smirking.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed grabbing the collar of his shirt.
"IMMA TELL MALCOLM!" he yelled

"Tell me what?" asked Malcolm who was walking down to the arena. I flushed pink.

"Oh look…I need to make out with Annabeth now" he said awkwardly. He skipped away

"Tell me what?" Malcolm repeated, walking down towards me.

"Um…Your shoes untied?" I responded lamely. He looked down.

"Oh yeah" he said crouching down to tie his shoes. "Thanks" he added. I smiled. I didn't even know they were untied….. Weird… when he stood up, he looked at me.

"Ella?"

"Yeah?" I said, looking up from my weapon.

"I like you"

And then I collapsed.
