💙next morning💙


When I wake up my friend/half-sister Lily is shaking me up. "Y/n, get your ass up right now. We have to go. And you missed breakfast."

I jolt up. "What?! Dude!" I throw the covers off and grab a random pair of leggings and my Camp Half-blood shirt.

I judge between if I should do my hair for a minute, then duck into our 'little' bathroom.

In reality it's massive. Six showers, a wall with a massive mirror over the sinks, built in changing rooms, our own vanities, we even have this huge perfume station since our mommy runs bath and body works.

it's an absolute blessing.

I hurriedly throw my current pajamas off and discard them into our laundry bin. 

I am HUSTLING. I put in deodorant and my new clothes. I grab perfume off my vanity and spray like five pumps. I look at my hair. 

Okay, uh... "Lilly!" I call.

Silence. Ugh. I'm not asking any of my other brothers or sisters to do it.

I decide to throw it in a messy braid. 

When I run out of the bathroom everyone else has already gone off to their activities.

I jog down the path to where Luke is supposedly waiting.

I arrive a few seconds later, panting. "Okay...okay...I'm here!" 

"And you're only..." he checks his watch. "Ten minutes late." He chuckles.

"Shut up! Nobody woke me up." I defend my late arrival poorly, but it's still something.

"Sure. Come on, let's go." He tosses me the same wooden sword we've been using since day one.

"Really? Don't you think I'm ready for a metal one yet? You gave Percy one last month!"

"Percy is able to fend me off."

"I totally could." I pull the sword up.

"Sure." He says sarcastically.

"Try me." I offer.

We both raise our stupid wooden swords up. He lunges at me but I block him. I go for him next but he gets in front just in time.

I try lower but he moves his sword.

I pull back and suddenly my sword and I are both displaced. I'm falling back onto my butt and my sword is flying to the other side of our little practice area.

He doesn't anticipate me falling too, and stumbles forward on accident. When we land I bang my head on the dirt and his body lands on top of mine.

"Sorry!" I apologize moving to get up.

"You good bro? You can get up now." I laugh uncomfortably.

I feel his breath on my neck and suddenly feel super weird. He's like a brother to me, we should not be this close unless we're hugging.

"Luke, get off. Like, now." I tell him.

"Sorry...got dizzy after I fell." He stands up. That felt insincere. It's fine though, I know he wouldn't try anything. 

He's like a brother to me.

I turn to grab my sword from the ground but my chin is suddenly lifted by the top on Luke's sword.

"Don't say things that aren't true." He says smugly and moves his sword.

"I just felt bad for you, that's all." I joke around.
