We are at dinner right now. I didn't leave my things back at the Hermes cabin cause when I was about to enter the cabin everyone started going to the Mess hall. I was sitting in between some camper (I'm not sure what he's name was but he was busy talking to his friends) and Luke who was at the edge of the bench. When we sat down I ate a few grapes but then I saw some girls across from me whispering and looking at me so I stopped.
I still couldn't believe I was out for the last three weeks. Monsters can't smell humans? Right? What if my mum was attacked? No she's fine. But is she? Is there a phone here that I could use to just check if she's fine?
I need to start reading her journal. Tonight? Tonight. It's March all ready? What if I punched Mr. D in the face? No they'll brutally murder me.
"Hey." I heard Luke say besides me. I looked at him. Just then I felt tears in my eyes. Shit I can't cry in front of everyone. Expecially not Luke. "You good?" I just nodded I was scared if I opened my mouth the tears would start falling. Luke looked at me suspiciously then he put a few grapes on my plate. And took his plate. "Let's go." I just got up and took my plate as well. I walked behind Luke trying not to lose him. He was fast. He tossed the rest of his food in the fire. I did the same after him. Luke watched me as I did that and then took my plate he put them away and started walking away from the Mess hall. I started running after him since he was getting faster with every step.
"*Beau gosse! Slow down!" I shouted at him. He stopped and turned around. He started smirking again.
"What does it mean?" Luke asked with a smirk.
"What?"
"That thing that you called me. In french." He reminded me.
"Oh that! I'm not telling you." I said as I smirked and started walking forward. Then I realised I don't know the way back to the cabins but I don't know how long can we be out of the cabins. So I stopped when there were two paths. One right, one left.
"We have time even if you choose the wrong path. We have to be back by ten. So we have" I turned around to hear him he looked at his watch. "Exactly 2 hours and 38 minutes." He said and looked back at me giving me a smile. I chose the left path. Luke hurried to be next to me.
"Did I chose the right path?" I asked.
"No." Luke smiled.
"Then where we headed now?" I asked curiously.
"Oh that, I'm not telling you." He said trying to sound like me.
"I sound nothing like that!" I acted offended trying not to laugh at his poor impression of me.
"Where are you from anyways?" Luke asked as he looked down at me.
"I'm from Brooklyn. But my mum was born and raised in Sydney. You?"
"Sweet old Westport, Connecticut." He answered.
"Nice. How is it there?" I asked since I've never really been outside from New York I would even say nothing other then Brooklyn was too familiar to me.
"I don't know, haven't been there since I was 12." He said still a smile on his face.
"How come?"
"It's a long story and it's depressing I don't want to ruin the mood." He said looking away and stopping. I wasn't thinking of what I did next.
I looked at Luke's face. He had a scar. I did see it before but I didn't think anything of it. But it was quiet pretty in the light moonlight. The moon just raised a few minutes ago. I lifted my hand towards his face. His eyes finally met mine. The palm of my hand was still aiming for his left side of the face. He just closed his eyes and I finally touched it.
He had an incredibly soft face but then his scar was rougher but it felt right touching it. I could feel him leaning in my palm. I then felt his other hand reaching for mine. I took it and our fingers intertwined. I closed my eyes and both of us leaned in. Our foreheads touched. It felt right. Like in the books when two characters were made for each other. Then we heard footsteps. Our eyes widened and we quickly looked at each other. Then Luke started running and pulling me with.
We ran and then I almost tripped and fell. But Luke pulled me up in time. I bend down at that and I had to stop trying catch my breath so I can laugh.
"You okay?" I didn't answer feeling like I should joke around a bit. I just continued heavily breathing. "Juliet?" He asked sounding concerned. So I started fake coughing. "Juliet!" He said as he went behind my back and wrapped his arms around my stomach. "On three I'm going to push so you don't choke okay?" I nodded still fake coughing. "Okay, one! Two! Three!" He started to push his intertwined fists into my stomach. Okay that hurt. So I stopped faking.
"Okay stop stop stop! I'm not choking!" I said before he did it again. He let go of me and spin me around to face him.
"Are you kidding me?" He shouted at me. I just smirked and then started laughing. "You're crazy." He said still not believing I was faking all that.
"No I'm Juliet." I said through laughter as I started running away. I heard Luke running after me so I started running even faster. Then I didn't hear running anymore so I turned my head around but there was no one there. I stopped Luke was no where in my sight. "Luke!" I said but nobody answered. Then I felt presence behind me. So I did what my instincts told me. I punched the person in the face.
"Ow!" I heard Luke yell. He was in front of me. How the fuck did he get there?
"How did you get behind me?!" I yelled at him.
"No are you alright? No I'm sorry?" He asked and then spitted blood on the ground. I have a good punch. Good to know.
"It's called having good reflexes. Don't blame me." I said put my arms up as I surrender and started walking down the path again. I heard Luke running again so I also started running. He caught up with me after two seconds. I felt him grabbing my hips and then spinning me around and putting me over my shoulder holding my legs. I screamed and Luke continued running. "Put me down! Right now!"
"We're almost there I'll put you down when we come there." He said while he was running. After a few seconds I was removed from Luke's shoulder and my feet touched the ground. I turned around and we were at the beach. I turned back to Luke and jumped on him hugging him.
"Thank you so much! This is amazing!" I said excitingly. Then I felt him hug me back and put his chin on top of my head. We were like that for a while till I pulled back and run to the water. Luke came right after me. My feet were in the water and I started splashing Luke. He splashed me back.
