Forever and Always

Chapter 12: Belonging Rock

~Peters P.O.V~

"All I was doing was making sure the cabin was safe! I-I swear!" I stumbled over my words. I already knew they didn't believe me. The Apollo kids were smart. Okay. So what if I was looking for someone. It's none of their business anyways.
"Right...and I'm not a blonde." Snickered Tyler. He was very blonde. Making his point.
"Fine! Whatever! Goodbye then!" I said turning.
"Peter," said Shane "She's over at archery."
I groaned. Of course they knew. I'm practically an obvious freak. Ugh.
I nodded and headed over to the targets off into the distance. I was almost there when an Aphrodite girl stopped me. Lets just say that you'd have to have an IQ of a wrench to not know that she was Aphrodite. Her hair was short and strait, with the remnents of pink dye. her face was thin and straight, to go with her hair, (it complemented her very much.... like woah) and she had big hazel eyes that would shine with the reflection of the sun. Her smile radiated her white teeth,(crooked in a cute way) andd she had deep dimples. (A/N: SUSAN DONT STOP READING. just wait :3)
"Hey, do you know where I can find a guy by the name of Peter? He is the son of Hephaestus."
"Oh. that's me." I always felt stupid talking to girls, but I feel more stupid when I talk to Aphrodite girls. They were so tiny and pretty, and i was a big clumsy ugly oaf with HUGE hands, and a fetish for steel and oil. I have a problem, I know.

"oh thats awesome!" she said "I was told you could help me with a project for Mythology class....Im writing about your dad. Your siblings told me that you know him personally."

"Oh, yes. I Iris-Message him every once in a while about....geers and stuff." I babbled on. I looked down at my hands blushing. This is why I dont like talking to girls. They make me feel so uncomfortable and awkward.

"Hey, do you think that I can sit down with you and ask you questions?" she asked sweetly looking up.

"uh....sure..i guess." HOw come I always get tied into stupid things. Maybe i attract stupid things because I AM a stupid thing. gosh.

~Susan's P.O.V.~

I dont need him. In fact, I am better off without him. I had been watching Peter and Bria, an Aphrodite girl. I know watching people is REALLY creepy, but Shane told me Peter was looking for me, so I waited for him. BIG MISTAKE. All I got to see is basically a seven-minutes-in-heaven session.

I turned around, not wanting to see anymor of....that, and walked towards the arena. I propped my elbows up on the siding of the court and put my chin in the palm of my hands. The arena was about the size of football field with a stone siding( in which used to be pure white...but now has..stains). Covering the arena floor was packed dirt and dust and the entire place had the sweet scent of B.O. and blood. I didnt really like it here, but when I do come here it to make myself feel better. Watching others fight until a tooth gets punched out or a testical falls off is always my favorite therapy. (note sarcasm) TBH I just watch others do what I physically cannot.

Most of the people in the arena were Ares, and I was not surprised to see Clarisse wacking civilians atop the head with her spear for no reason. She came over to me with a lost look on her face "Hey blondie, what are you doing HERE?"

Under all that tough and meanie-ness, she is a demon. So we can relate...in a REALLY weird way. "Um...currently, trying to get my mind off heart-break and hopless-ness." I stated flatly, not really in the mood to hide my feelings.

"You could kill the idiot?" she said shrugging.

"You know I really might just do that," i said turning around and heading to....well nowhere "After i bat him to death, that is."

I could hear her laughing as I walked away. I couldnt decide weather if she actually thought that was funny, or mocking at my beating skills. Hmm. Meh.

I sat on a rock by Thalia's tree because I felt alone. I heard scuffling Behind me. I stood up and grabbed for my knife. (in my belt). When i heard nothing, I leaned over to see what was on the otherside of the rock. It was a camper. "I'm sorry! I didnt know that this rock belonged to you. I'll go." I turned to leave

"Hey, its okay. I could use the company." He stood up and turned around, letting me see his entire self. and let me just tell you, boys and girl, he was so....Very perfect. He had dark brown eyes, so deep that they could swollow me whole. He was about 6ft with dark brown curls and freckles. He was wearing glasses and a very classy dress shirt in the color of purple. This is the moment when he sneezed. In which the moment proceeds me saying a stupid thing. "I would say Aphrodite bless you, but it seems she already has."

Leo: ugh love. Ew

Leo: THATS DIFFERENT.
Calypso: we could get married...?
SUSAN: ***runs through the Great Wall of china sprinkling the ash of Bigfoot and gingerbread remnants on her way, leaping over a small white picket fence, becoming a pope and eating the incense off the weighing scale of pharaoh, crashing down the pathetic door to the room in which we are having this conversation***
Oh yes. Honey I am the man for the job. I have the POWER!
