Author's Note: Yes, I know the youngest age of the Camp Half-Blood campers, but for sake of my work I lowered it. I also know the restriction of crossing into camp. It's all for the sake of piece.

Wiping the sweat from your brow, you had narrowly blocked another one of Percy's blows. The thought of mistakenly asking him to train you flashed into your mind.
Wheezing, you placed your hands on your knees as you bent at the waist in an attempt to catch your breath.
"Having trouble keeping up, Y/L/N?" Percy teased flashing you his white teeth.
Snorting, you picked up your sword before swinging it in his direction. "Not a chance."
The scorching summer sun, beat down on you the more you trained, while beads of sweat raced down your face soaking the neckline trickling down your back.
Once Percy had deemed you had enough training, you hurriedly made your way to the showers. The feeling of excitement washing over you as you thought about a cold shower.

After dinner, Grove found you and convinced you to sneak away with your group of friends to a local bookstore, in the city.
As soon as you entered the store, there was a small ring of a bell that echoed off the walls. Glancing up, you made a mental note of how long it had been since you had last been in a store that had a real bell above the door.
"Welcome." One of the cashiers greeted barely glancing up from her register, locking eyes with your small group.
"Thanks," Grover smirked, nodding his head at her. In a mere matter of seconds, the cashiers' giggles filled the shop, as Grover flirted with her.
Turning your attention back to your friends, you let out a sigh as they were nowhere to be seen. Knowing Annabeth, she had probably dragged Percy towards her favorite section of books, piling them in his arms.
Shaking your head, you glanced around before venturing up the spiral stairs to the second level of the book store. The second level was perfect for customers to gaze out of the second-story windows, as well as having a more peaceful reading experience in the store. Oversized chairs and coffee tables were littered around the level.
