"The only dangerous thing about love is that you never know what's coming next."
THE REST OF THE DAY WAS A BLUR. Adonis was barely paying attention in all of his activities and almost fell down into the lava on the rock wall, but a young camper named Will Solace caught him at the last second.
It wasn't entirely Adonis' fault though. There was a buzz in the air throughout the whole day.
Capture the flag with the Hunters was happening later that evening and everyone was excited.
Adonis was now lying on the floor in the run down Hermes cabin after dinner. Blue paint was chipping off from the walls and the fluffy white carpet had so many stains that you would've thought it was a multi colored rug. The bunks were untidy and the floor was littered with countless candy wrappers, blankets, pillows, and cans of illegally smuggled soda. An open passage led to a back room where blue prints of various pranks and smuggle routes lay sprawled out across two wooden tables. The cabin also had a lingering smell of cheap cologne, expired licorice, and unwashed socks. The cheap cologne was compliments of Travis Stoll and has various ditched attempts to ask Katie Gardner out. To anyone else, the cabin would've been absolutely retched. But to Adonis and so many other campers,
it was home.
Adonis had heard that things had been a little better back when the Luke kid was head counselor. He was more strict with the rules and ran a tighter ship. When he went haywire and ran away from camp, the Stolls took over and eased up on the rules.
As Adonis layed on the floor in the middle of the cabin, he couldn't help but think about his encounter with Naomi. Why was she so mad‽ All I tried to do was help her.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Adonis ignored the knock. Any kid staying in the Hermes cabin could've just walked in if they wanted to. Plus, he was too deep in thought
If she didn't want to talk to me in the first place she could've just said so.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Who is it‽"
No answer.
"Yo, who is it‽"
No answer.
Adonis got up, slightly annoyed that his deep thought session had been interrupted, and went to the door to open it. The back side of the door was painted with a mural of the whole of Hermes cabin running away from a hoard of monsters and holding various items from Greek myths. At the front of the mural was Luke holding the golden fleece in one hand and the Aegis shield in the other. The Stoll brothers flanked him, each carrying a winged shoe owned by their dad.
