Demigods: Summer!
Hello, everybody! I have some more time so here's another chapter. Aphrodite's kids are here now. Let's see how they prepare for "beddy-bye".
Castilla Drake's POV
Drew, the pretty Asian girl who was second-in-command (remember Silena didn't die, but neither did Drew, sadly…), stood before us and announced, "Since Silena is at her dad's for the week, we can finally get the new kids to go through their Rite of Passage!" She sighs and fans herself. "Oh, I remember when I did! I got him to fall in love in just 5 days! And I snapped his heart it half!" She grasps her hands together. "Now, we have gotten four new kids since the last Rite of Passage Ceremony which was two months ago so, each of them has one week to find someone, make them fall in love, and then break their heart! It should be easy, especially if you can charmspeak…" She says mysteriously and I know she's talking about me because her eyes linger on me for a second.
"Yeah. I should be so lucky." Another new one, like me, says. I think her name is Lara.
Drew's eyes narrows and glares at her. Then, she checks her sparkly pink watch. "So, it's 7 o'clock and we have 3 hours 'til lights out everybody! To the new ones, you can go ahead and scope the place out for potentials." She winks and approaches me.
"I think you'll be able to do it more than the others. Besides you have charmspeak on your side." She winks and begins to walk towards the bathroom. Drew turns back and says, "Good luck, honey."
I'm about to tell her I can't do this "rite of passage" because I'm 12, but she doesn't listen.
I see Lara looking at me funny, so I turn to my friend, Belinda (an OC that I made up 5 seconds ago), who was also new. "I don't think it'll be that hard. Plus, Lacy says it'll be a piece of cake. She just says that we should go and look for someone worthy of our "heart-breaking" or at least that's what Drew calls it."
"Okay. But I'm only 12! I'm too young to have a boyfriend, let alone break a boy's heart." I confide.
"Hmm… I'm sure Drew will understand." She tells me patting my shoulder. "Now, come with me! We've got to find me a target! The sooner I can get this over with the better." She grabbed two disposable cameras and left the cabin.
I pull my designer hoodie around me and follow Belinda out the door. Belinda is tall, blonde, and 15. She's beautiful but all of us are, we're children of Aphrodite. She came here a week before me and I've been here for two weeks. Even though, I'm the one with charmspeak I know she can pull this off, no problem.
She pats a space next to her on a bench. "You pick three potentials, and I'll pick three, then we'll pick the one I'll go after."
"Do you have any criteria? Like does he have to be blonde? Tall? Strong?" I ask.
"Huh. You know I didn't think about it. And on second thought, yes, I do. He has to be tall and handsome. Not cute; handsome. Doesn't matter what hair color. And I like blue eyes the best."
I nod, "'Kay then. Let's find you a target!" And I get up from the bench and start "wandering" around Camp.
There were a lot of people running around, rushing to get back to their cabins so they can wash up and go to sleep. There was this one boy who was relatively handsome; he had dirty blonde hair that fell over his eyes and chocolate brown eyes, and he had muscle, he looked to be around 16 years. I snapped a picture of him and proceeded down the path. As I passed the Pegasi stables I spotted a boy about 15 with dark brown hair and light green eyes. I took a picture of him, from behind a bush. Gods, I feel like such a stalker. Lastly, I found a boy getting slapped by a girl by the lake. He had sun-bleached blonde hair and striking blue eyes and of course I took the picture from behind a tree.
I walked back happily, pleased with my results. I glance at my watch and see that it's 7:45. Perfect. I made my way to the bench where Belinda was supposed to be. When I arrived I saw something I seriously did not want to see.
Belinda was there, but she was on top of a boy, sitting in his lap, kissing him fiercely. Her hands were tangled in his dark golden hair and her legs wrapped around his waist. He had his hands on her hips, holding her close, and I bet they were itching to move further. And I swear I heard one of them moan, very loudly. Plus, I'm pretty sure they were tonguing. Gross! Belinda removed her mouth from his and moved it to his neck. And I had seen enough, it made me sick.
"So, I guess you picked your target already?" I said and both of them jumped apart.
They looked around confused and a little dazed from their make out session, then Belinda spotted me. "Castilla! Hey… Well, this is awkward…"
Definitely awkward, since her arms were still linked around his neck and her legs latched to his waist. "We gotta get back. And you are?" I address the boy, coldly.
He cleared his throat, "Clay Miller. Demeter Cabin." He says in a country accent.
Belinda giggles and blushes even deeper and so does "Clay".
"Pleasure." I say. "Come on, Belinda. Let's go."
She looks back at me then at Clay. After a few seconds she got up, pecked him on the cheek, flipped her hair to the side, and waved good-bye to Clay.
While we walked back to the Cabin I heard Clay whistle and Belinda giggled again. "What the hell was that?" I ask her.
"That was Clay." She says, rolling her eyes at my foolishness.
"So, you're going to break his heart?"
Belinda has a look of shock in her eyes. "What? Never!"
"Well, that's what this whole 'outing' was for!" I tell her.
"Forgive me, I was distracted!" She replies.
I cut her off, "Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted the Cootie Fest!"
She rolls her eyes again, "Oh, come on! Just you wait. In a couple of years, you'll be doing the same and you'll love it." And at that she throws her hair back and enters the cabin.
I imitate her in a ridiculously high voice. "Oh, you'll loooooooooooooove it! Pfft. Yeah, right."
I follow her in and throw my jacket on my bed and throw myself on the bed. I grab a book out of my personal chest. Twilight. I'm in no mood for a romance so I toss it back in and grab a new one. Midsummer Night's Dream. No, thanks. Harry Potter. Finally, a book I can endure.
Leaning back on my pillow I open the book and read and read and read. I read to the point where I fell asleep and I don't know who, but someone pulled the covers over me and tucked me in. While I slept, I didn't know that in the dead of night Belinda had slipped outside to meet a certain someone.
I'm not going to break someone's heart. No way, no how.
Ooh. Where's Belinda off to? And will Drew allow Castilla to skip the Rite of Passage? Well, I don't know either. Because I'm making this up as I go. =]
Hoped you liked it. Flames are allowed. Tell me what you want to happen next or which cabin I should do. Love ya guys!
-Dr. Asian -.-
PS. The song for this chapter is Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz for the general reason. And Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift.
