**CURRENTLY BEING EDITED**
Meet Eleanor Grace a girl who looks no less than an angel from heaven - beautiful brown hair, sapphire blue eyes & a perfect smile. She loves to play the guitar, is great at sword fighting, & her archery skills remain unma...
When she started singing I was shocked at how beautiful her voice sounded..just like she was. I froze & couldn't seem to take my eyes off her.
Grover whispered, "Dude, you're drooling a little there."
I quickly looked away. The song ended & everyone cheered. The Apollo cabin then continued the sing along while Nora came to me with a smile.
"Hey, Perce!" She said.
Before I could reply Luke beat me to it.
"You were awesome, Nora." He said. She smiled & walked over to him, muttering a 'thanks'.
Next to me Grover said.
"Go talk to her, dude! Why're you acting so weird?"
"I..what do I even say??"
"Just be yourself..come on. It isn't THAT hard you know.
"Okay, okay...fine." I say making my way over to where they were talking.
"Uh...Nora?" She smiled when she saw me, which was enough to turn me into a melted puddle right then & there.
"Yeah Perce?" She asked.
"D-do you...wanna...take a walk...with me?" I stuttered like an idiot, but she didn't seem to notice. Or even if she did, she chose to ignore it. Thank gods.
"Sure, I know the perfect place."
She stood up & laced our fingers together. I was pretty sure about my face burning up like a tomato.
"But...what about me? We were having a good time weren't we?" Luke asked.
"We'll talk later." She said. "Besides, it's not like you're going anywhere right?"
"No...of course not." He forced a smile.
We walked along & Nora led me to a beautiful beach. It was a full moon night.

She let go of my hand, walked ahead & said, "Watch this.."
Blue wisps of power flew from her hands & caused fireflies to stir. I'd never seen anything like this before..it was amazing.
We sat on the moonlit beach. Nora drew patterns in the sand. She finally looked up at the moon. A slight breeze blew making her hair fall across her face, but she didn't seem bothered by it.
"It's beautiful...isn't it?" She asked.
I was too busy looking at her to look elsewhere. She seemed to glow in the moonlight.
"Yeah...it is." I said still looking at her.
She felt my gaze & looked over at me, her eyes sparkled like sapphires when they caught the moonlight. "I'm talking about the view Perce."
"So am I." I replied tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Oh really?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"You're way more beautiful that this." I said gesturing to everything around us.

(Ella's POV)
"You're way more beautiful than this." He said & I froze. I wasn't expecting him to say that.
"W-what?" I asked, blushing.
He seemed to have realised what he had said & tried to backtrack but he just got flustered instead.
We both looked at each other for a good five seconds & then burst out laughing. I said.
"I didn't know you were such a flirt."
"I didn't either." He said chuckling.
"This is kinda like my thinking spot. When I need to get away from things. It is a reminder that good things can happen too, you know?"
"Yeah." He replies.
I lay my head on his shoulder & he wraps an arm around my waist. The weirdest part? It felt..right, as if it were meant to be like this.
I smiled at the thought. That's when I realized that I liked Percy, but...did he like me back? Nah. Of course not.
We stayed there for few hours. He told me how badly his pathetic stepfather- Gabe, treated him & his mom.
He also told me about his school life which was the same as mine. We told each other jokes too.
It was past curfew so we head back. We walk to the Hermes cabin. I was about to leave but he grabs my hand stopping me in place.
"I uh..just..wanna thank you." He hesitated. When he didn't say anything else, I replied.
"Oh, okay...your welcome."
We both just stood there in awkward silence for a few minutes until I said, "I should go."
"Y-yeah, of course." He seemed almost.. nervous?
"But, just stop by my cabin in the morning before breakfast. I'll tell you your schedule."
"Sure, I'll be there. Good night, Nora."
"Night, Perce. Sweet dreams." He blushed.
"You too." He replied.
I walked toward my cabin. I changed into my pajamas & lied down in bed.
I kept thinking about a certain green-eyed boy & wondered if he liked me back. There was no way he could like me right? I mean sure he did act nervous around me but, guys always get nervous around girls don't they?
With these thoughts running through my head I eventually let sleep overcome me.
Until next time...👋🏻
