Chapter 5: Amber

My wish. I wished for a marriage. A marriage between me and Leo. A long, happy one. I just met him but I feel like I've known him for years. He's very open about his feelings and he's already given me a promise ring. I felt so loved and I loved him.
"Hi, Amber! I see you are wearing my gift." A voice said I turned aroud to see Leo smiling. I smiled and we sat down at the table for breakfast with the gang.
"I do not approve of you dating my little sister." Percy said, stirring his coffee.
"Look who's playing big brother." Annabeth whispered to me, Hazel and Piper.
"I heard that." Percy said
"Shesh, Percy. I'm 15 and you all are all 17. Except for Nico and Hazel. They are 15 and 13, even though the Hotel and the brought back to life thing. But, still I can date whover I want."
"Gods, Amber. I was kidding. Did Leo give you the ring? Did he propose with it? Did you like it? Did it work? Are you gonna dump him? Hmm?"
"Yes. No. Love it. Yes. Never!" I said
"Shame, on not proposing, Leo, Shame." Percy did the shame thing with his fingers. "Kidding." Percy said after Annabeth and I shot him a look and Annabeth hit the back of his head. "Ow" We started eating. I had waffles with Leo. I also had some green tea.
As I finished, an arrow whizzed right by my forehead. I looked towards where it came from to see Chiron with his archer's bow.
"Hello, Amber. Tomorrow is your first day of training and I will have Will train you privately." He said
"Wait what?" Leo and Percy said at the same time. "I don't approve of her being alone with a boy." I waited. So did Will and everyone else. We all stared at them. "What?" They asked
"LEO, PERCY, I'm gay!" Will shouted
"Oh, yeah, right." they said "Go along."
"You will start after breakfast tomorrow." Chiron said and left. After everyone finished, Hazel, Piper, Annabeth and I went to the Aphrodite cabin and got me some new clothes and a bathing suit. Turns out, they are all going to swm today with their boyfriends. So we packed a giant picnic basket and got dressed to go to the lake. We went to the lake to see that the boys were aready there. I ran to Leo and kissed his cheek.
"Hey, Sweet Lips." He lightly kissed my lips and everyone stared.
"Don't call me that." I said
"No." Leo protested
"I'll be the cause of your nightmares if you don't." I threataned
"Fine." He said grabbing me and carried me bridal style into the water. We went so deep that we couldn't stand. I pulled him under the water and kissed him. We shouldn't have been able to but we both could breathe. We swam around for a while, I raced Percy (I won. My prize was dealing with Percy claiming 'He let me win') and we saw Percy and Annabeth doing the underwater kiss, too.
We all went to eat lunch on the sand after a while. As I polished off my sweet potato fries I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned my head to see Frank.
"Can I ask you something, privately?" I nodded and followed him to the outside of my cabin. "Um, I want your opinion about what I should give Hazel for Christmas. Since you're, like, the same age." He held up two things: a really cute shirt that said 'Pluto is my favorite' with a picture of the dwarf plant and a gold carving kit. I smiled at hs effort.
"Frank, these are really sweet and all, but, I, for one thing, would like something that would remind me of why I fell in love with the person who's giving the gift. Are you catching my drift here?" His arms lowered and he stared off over my head.
"Yeah," He said softly, nodding. Then more confidently."Yeah. Thanks, Amber." He hugged me and we went to his cabin to see what he had in mind. We ended up wrapping a little piece of wood that had 'Frazel' carved into one side with a diamond and a sword caved on the other side (I still don't get it), a diamond necklace and the carving kit.
"There." I put a bow on the gift. "Done." I handed it to Frank. "You better hide it well, and not In the ground 'cuz of your girlfriend's powers." I nudged him and he smiled and kissed my cheek, lightly. My eyes widened. "Frank, we are both dating someone, and obviousley not each other. Why would you do that to Hazel?" He laughed and shook his head.
"Look, Amber, as pretty and nice and funny as you are, I love Hazel and, no offence, but, it would be gross to date you." I looked at him funny.
"Gee, thanks." I said sarcastically. He laughed again. "Am I really that funny?"
"No, well yes but, it would be gross because I'm a decendant of the great-grandson of Poseidon, you know the Argonaut, Pilos."
"Oh, yeah, really? We're related? That would make me your great times a million aunt, or something." I said, it made my brain hurt, so much math. Carry the one... Add the 2,000... Aww, whatever. Frank laughed again. "Seriousley?"
"That is exactly what Percy said." He said "You're more like him than you think." We left.
