The new guy looked right at me, and it was as if I was the only girl in the whole wide world. He strutted right over to me, and said "Hey beautiful, im Luke. How about you, me, and a movie tonight?"

I couldn't speak. It was as if time has liquidated, and all I was conscious of was saying "Yes". What the heck!? Guys don't do this to me, I do it to them! Oh just wait Luke, tonight your going to be so dazzled, your brains will melt right off that pretty face of yours.

Luke winked and walked about, obviously pleased with himself. Of course he should be, he just scored a date with the hottest girl in Vevey Boarding School (yeah, I know, but it's a private school that's filled with a bunch of rich, snooty kids). Just then I noticed Ana, looking at me with huge eyes.

"What?" I muttered.

"Didn't I ask you to stay away from him!?!?" she accused.

"That was before I saw him, and I can do what I want Ana!" I screamed back.

"You don't even know him!" Ana screeched. "He could be a murderer, or a traitor, or a psychopath!"

"Right, well then just arrange my funeral for me, because I'm going out with him!" I yelled right back at her.

Ana just looked somberly at me and said "You'll regret this, Nicole." Then she stumbled away, looking forlorn.

I didn't really know what I did, but it sure didn't seem like a bad idea at the time. Go out with Luke, fool around a bit, and then come back and makeup with Ana tomorrow. I had no idea that Ana would be there tonight, and that her words would ring true in my head for the months ahead.

I went through the rest of the day in a rush, eager to get home and start primping for my date. When the bell rang I threw my stuff in my locker, pulled on my dark blue coat with the faux fur hood, and fast-walked home.

As I walked in the door, I noticed my dad's car was gone, replaced by some guy's Lamborghini. Sighing, I knew that my hated Step-Mother would have company, in the form of some rich dude that was cheating on his wife by being here. And Stephanie, my step-mother, had made me swear not to tell Dad about the men. She threatened me with taking away my makeup! So I knew I could never, ever tell, because it would be a fate worse than death if I did. But the Cheaters usually didn't stay long when I got home. They came out of the bedroom half-naked, saw me, tried to flirt with me, gave up, and went home to never return.

So I went up to my room, which was full of the latest magazines, clothes, beauty products, and shoes. You couldn't find a book in my room if you paid me. I commenced the pre-date getting ready plan.

Right in the middle of a pace, I heard the doorbell ring. My heart practically flew out of my chest as I answered. IT WAS HIM! And dayummm, he was looking fine! Hair looking slightly windswept, dressed in jeans and a light grey long-sleeve shirt. I did a quick once-over in my mind. Me: Short white skirt with black leggings and light brown Ugg boots; Light green long-sleeve v-neck shirt with a white cami under, hair straight and bangs French Braided; And a little bit of shimmer on my face, for the perfect final touch. I was smoking! And I could see it in his eyes that he thought so too.

I was so mesmerized in the first ten minutes of the car ride; I didn't notice we drove out of town, in the opposite direction of the movie theater. But I started to notice when we slowed down, and we were right along the ocean, in the middle of nowhere.

"Where are we?" I demanded.

Luke just smiled and silenced me with a quick kiss. But he tasted all wrong, like Novocain, it dulled my senses and made me feel slow and dumb. I tried to pull away, but I couldn't. He just picked me up in his cold arms and whisked me down onto the beach. I could see in my frozen state, a ship out in the water, and a rowboat on the shore. That's when I started to struggle.

"Oh no you don't, pretty little daughter of Aphrodite. Just wait until we get on the ship, and ill explain everything" Luke purred.

"Back off Bozo!" I whimpered, wondering what he meant by 'daughter of Aphrodite.'

Luke just uttered a little laugh, and put me down in the rowboat. As soon as I was free of his arms, I felt myself again, but a little dazed. I rolled myself right off the boat and into the ocean. The cold water cleared my mind, and I broke for shore. I could hear Luke behind me, cursing. I could sense the flow of the waves, and some little part of my mind mentioned that the saltwater would ruin my clothes. But all I could think about was getting away. Then I saw something that perplexed me and annoyed me a bit. Ana was at the top of the beach, gesturing to me frantically. One thing was clear in her eyes, danger.

In the middle of my mad dash, something grabbed my waist and thrust me back. Luke had caught up to me, and he looked thrilled about it.

"Come on Nicole, don't run, I just care about you." His silky voice murmured to me. It was the hardest thing in the world to do, but I resisted. My thoughts raced as I tried to think of a plan of escape. That's when I remembered my True Blend powder in my pocket that I brought just in case my nose got shiny. I fumbled for it, and dumped it right on Luke's head. He coughed and looked horrified as I sprinted away and shouted back "By the way, that so isn't your color!"

When I reached Ana, I started jumping up and down (I don't know, I guess it's just the adrenaline rush of pounding a creep). "Did you see that Ana?! I just totally owned him!"

She just frowned and grabbed my hand, then started jogging to Luke's car, while I was still reminiscing about my utter destruction of him. "Nicole! Will you just shut up for a second?"

I frowned and mumbled something sounding like "Wow, just kill my buzz why don't you?" That's when I realized she was hotwiring Luke's car. "Dude! That's illegal!"

"Chiron will cover it up, don't you worry." Ana replied distractedly. I wondered who Chiron was.

"Ana, what was that all about?" I questioned.

"Ill explain it when we get to camp," She said in a rush.

"What camp?" I asked.

"Camp Half-Blood." Was the reply.
