Sorry about the late update it's just I've been so busy with school, highschool applications, and exam weeks. Also have a huge science project that will now consume most of my time.

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

I had come barefoot knowing I would just end up kicking off my shoes eventually anyways and so the sand was sticking to my feet and getting underneath my nails, but I didn't care.

I've grinded against so many boys, half of them I don't even know and I've already forgotten most of the names they've given me.

There are beads of sweat on my skin, and they aren't all mine but I don't mind. My hair is wild and knotted but it looks sexy and I was enjoying this too much to be troubled with knots. My cheeks are flushed but it actually looks pretty so I'll work with it.

The music was pounding so loud I couldn't hear my own thoughts, everyone was waving drinks in the air and spilling them all over, drenching anyone around them, and we were all dancing too close to even breath, and I loved every second of it. These were the moments I lived for. I have one life and I'm going to live it.

This is the life and I'm thankful it's mine.

Percy POV:

"Is she always like this?" I asked Travis, referring to my sister. She looked drunk and wild but she also looked genuinely happy.

"Yeah, she can be a bit of a handful, not going to lie, and she's a bit too experienced with guys, but she lives for moments like these."

Yep, because that's what I wanted to hear.

Brooke POV:

"Why aren't you guys dancing?" I yelled loudly to be heard.

The Stolls shrugged and Katie commented on how her feet hurt or some crap like that so I turned to Andrew.

"Andrew, dance with me!" I said, pulling him to his feet and dragging him away. And dance we did. I knew there was a reason I liked him.

Before long though, a slow song came on and we just stood there awkwardly. Then I swear my heart stopped beating when he smiled at me and asked, "May I have this dance?"

Connor POV

"Make your move, fast! Go!" Travis shouted, pushing me out of my chair but not fast enough. Andrew and Brooke were already dancing. I missed my chance.

"Wait, you seriously like her?" Katie asked. "I thought that was a joke."

"No, Katie, it's not," I sighed through gritted teeth.

"I think it's cute," she said.

"Yeah, it's just adorable," I sneered. "I'm just the love-sick puppy she could care less about while she's pining over Andrew, who could care less about her."

"Whoa, what? Oh my god, she likes him? How could I not have seen this," Katie fretted like that was her biggest concern. Girls killed me.

I looked toward Brooke and Andrew and the sight made me sick. The two were pressed together and her head was resting on his shoulder. She was smiling and she looked absolutely beautiful. He was smiling to but it was more of a self-satisfied smirk.

"Well, my brother, you might've missed your chance, but I am not going to. Katie, may I have this dance?"

Her cheeks flushed bright red and she looked like she was about to yell. She didn't though. To everyone's shock and I pretty much literally mean everyone, she just blushed some more and said OK.

Great. Just great. I'm surrounded by happy couples and I'm all alone.

Katie POV:

Oh my gods! Did he seriously just ask me to dance? Did I seriously just say OK? What is wrong with me? He's Travis Stoll, the bane of my existence, and I seriously just said I would dance with him. He attacked my cabin with chocolate Easter bunnies and he died my hair red! Why would I dance with him?

You know why, I thought to myself and fine, I'll admit it I do. All I'm saying is he's kind of cute.

We started dancing and I really enjoyed it. I take back my earlier statement. He's so much more than just kind of cute. And I'll admit it, I have a crush on him.

He's funny too. Everything he's been whispering into my ear has been making me crack up.

"Katie Gardener, we just have to do this again," he told me once the song was over.

"So was that you're poor attempt to hit on me?" I teased.

"No actually," he said, "It was my apparently too subtle attempt to ask you out."

As flattered as I was, I wouldn't be me if I didn't say this next thing. "Well Mr. Stoll I'm afraid you'll have to try much harder if you want to go out with me."

"Wow, I thought Brooke was a bad influence on you but now I realize it's the other way around. And don't get too comfortable. You'll be mine soon enough."

"Just keep dreaming, hon."

"Oh trust me he will," Connor said, popping into our conversation from seemingly nowhere. "He'll never shut up about you now. How could you do this to me?"

I laughed as Travis punched him jokingly. They soon got into an all-out fistfight, still teasing each other. I was laughing so hard my sides hurt.

I left the brothers to their antics and found Brooke who was gushing about Andrew to Annabeth and now me too. I really don't know how I missed that she liked him especially when she was so obvious about it.
