Sun and Moon| Luke Castellan Story

Chapter 17

I watched as my brothers took turn's climbing the wall, and when I was in the ground Luke moved so he was standing behind me and I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. I couldn't help but smile a little, I might have a little crush on this boy but the way he's just so close, and how he moved closer to me...I just can't help but have a little smile at the corner of my lips.

"You did good over there." I hear Luke whisper in my ear which I smile more to before answering him.

"Thanks..." I could feel him smirking behind me. After like 15 minutes Kai and Moi were finished climbing the climbing wall, and we all walked away. Luke told us about how Percy was leaving to go on a quest to stop a war from happening and he started to sound angry but Chris stopped him as he was talking about the gods . Luke apologize about his little outburst, it was getting late and there was a bond fire which happens a lot here.

We all went to the bond fire and the kids from Apollo cabin were playing their guitars and singing so were some other campers from other cabins and everybody was roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. While all of this was happening I realized Percy, Annabeth, and Grover were gone, which is probably why Cleo wasn't here or why I couldn't find her because she was missing her little brother.

I was sitting away from everyone because, this reminds me too much of home when we would have family reunions and everyone would be outside of my grandparents house, and the uncles would be starting the fire while all the little cousins were running around and playing. While I was thinking I felt someone tap my shoulder, it was Luke. 

"Hey." I say he just smiles and sit next to me. 

"Why are you over here by yourself?" He asked 

"Because... I just am." I didn't want to tell about how I was missing home because that would just make me sound like a baby. And I don't know Luke well enough to be like that with him. 

"You're so closed off." He said as he looked at me while I looked at the fire. "You and your brothers are comple opposites." 

"How's that?" I asked as I always though we're alike.

"Well Moi isn't as loud as you and Kai, he can shout and yell but that's the only time." I looked at him as I wanted to continue. "Kai is headstrong, and has a soft spot for Grover's older sister. And you... you're so closed off I don't know what to think, but I can tell your athletic and are WAY more headstrong than your brothers." 

"That it fly boy?" I said with a smile. 

"Fly boy?" He said as he looked at me with a smirk. "You saw the shoes?" 

I nodded then spoke up. "Yeah, the ones with wings."  

He chuckled then he tried to change the subject. "Okay, well I still don't know very much about you, all you gave me were facts. Not anything special like what that necklace with a shark tooth is for, or that bracelet with the initials H." 

"Okay first this necklace is one my father game me for my birthday and my brothers have these too. Second the H is for my name." He looked at as if he's asking for my name. "My full name is Koalani Kiki Heilala Ofa."

"You have a really long name." I just stared at him blankly as I know and it's obvious. 

"Really? I thought it was short." I said sarcastically which made him chuckle. "My first name is my dad and grandmother's name put together, then my first middle name is my aunt's name, then my last middle name is a flower from where I was born. 

"That's actually really beautiful, Koa." 

"Well now you got what you wanted more information about me."

"Not so fast he." He said which kinda reminded me of my dad as he's always making me be more active with people. "That's not enough, I wanna know more like... that knee brace. Why do you wear it." 

That last part he said struck a cord as I wear a knee brace all the time and it was from an injury from when I was 13 or 14. "I used to do track, and one day we were doing hurdles and I got scared and I didn't make it over... and now I need a knee brace because of it, and after I quite track and now I play softball..." I had a bit of a hurt tone because I used to love track like way more than softball and now I can't play it anymore. 

Luke gave me a reassurance look and rubbed my back and he change the subject to the scar on his face. "I never told you the whole story behind this scar. Well I was on a quest to retrieve a relic, and I had a battle with the dragon Ladon... and let's just say I didn't win and I didn't complete my quest." 

"I'm sorry Luke that must've been painful." I say as I try to make him feel better. He takes a deep breath and he brings me over to where everyone else is and I start to talk with him more, and I can't help but admire his prospective of things, and looks, yes he may have a scar but that doesn't change how he looks, if anything it just adds a little spice.
