The Sea's Grandson

Chapter 12: Fridays

Lukas Pov.

I stretched out and yawned. It was Friday. I love Fridays. Friday's usually mean no school for two days and/or war games. Ughhhh, love. Thalia, why is she the only thing I can think of? My brain responded because you love her, ya idiot. Shut up, I told myself, I can't love her, she's my best friend's sister. I denied my feelings, but I knew it was true, I was in love with Thalia. It hurt too, knowing she was with someone else in fact.....it hurt too much to even think about. I forced myself out of bed. As soon as I got out of bed I tripped and landed on my face. I could tell this was going to be the best day ever. (Note his sarcasm. Also, suspense *starts cackling and rubbing hands together*. Sorry, I needed to clear my throat also dam, why are my hands so cold?) 

Chase Pov. 

I rubbed my eyes and stretched out. I grabbed my phone and checked what time it was. Then I remembered something awful, it was Friday. I HATE Fridays. Friday is the worst day of the week, but Lukas treats them like holy days (That I will never understand.). Fridays always captured the flag or war game days, it's the worst. I'm always a target, once all of Apollo cabin came after me. I will never forget that time, I was blinded by their light power, my ears bled because they sang bad on purpose, and I had to keep dodging arrows. I was always jealous of my brother in that way, everyone at camp always loved him, he's their golden boy. The exact opposite is true at school, I'm popular and he's made fun of.  Lukas, Mr. Popular, the guy I've been disturbed by what Aphrodite kids say about him, it's very dirty, and when I say dirty.......... let's not go there. 

I made myself get out of bed. I combed my wild honey-blonde hair, slipped on some basketball shorts, and threw on a t-shirt. I grabbed Wise One and headed downstairs. Lukas threw me a protein bar and my bronze chest plate. I threw my chest plate on and tied the straps before grabbing my helmet and heading out the door. I went for a swim before capture the flag, trying to drown my thoughts. One person, however, came to mind, Sailor. Her long wavy black hair and big black eyes. (She's Korean I just don't know how to explain how people look well.) She was, no is, absolutely stunning.  The way her smile could light up a room, the way she carries herself with grace even when times get tough, and how she's the only one who will ever understand what I've been through. No, no, no, no,  no, not again. I couldn't go through it again. I couldn't not after Julianne, I can't love again. Right? Plus Henry cheated on her with Julianne, she probably didn't want to date either. I just didn't want my heart to be broken. Not again. Chase, Chase breathe, it's going to be okay. I breathed in water and then realized my mistake, I could breathe water but lords it hurts, the water stung my nose, it was fun. 

A/N

Ooooooo, a new love interest for Chase. Do you like her so far? I would say so many spoilers right now, lucky for you I have self-control.
