THERESA

I woke up to the sound of Percy snoring. I sat up and looked over at a clock, which read 9:45 am. I changed into a new pair of jeans that I found on my bed. I took my pillow and threw it at Percy.

"Wake up!" I said. Percy moaned, but he didn't get up. I got out of bed and walked up to him. I shook his shoulders gently.

"Percy, wake up." I said.

"I already told you... I don't have the lightning bolt..." Percy moaned. What was he talking about?

"Percy." I said again.

"No, Zeus. It wasn't me..."

"Percy!" I said a bit louder. He still didn't wake up.

"I didn't take the lightning bolt..." He moaned.

"Percy!" I yelled and slapped his face. He sat up fast.

"I didn't do it!" He said. The he saw me and he sighed.

"Oh. It's just you." He said.

"What were you talking about?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"You talk in your sleep. You said something about stealing a lightning bolt." He smiled and chuckled.

"Oh... You see, when I was twelve, the gods thought that I stole Zeus's master bolt and I had to go on a quest to find it. I was just having a dream about it." I nodded. Percy looked at the clock.

"It's almost time for breakfast." He said.

"You get changed. I'll wait outside."

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute." I walked out of the cabin. There was no campers. I only took a few steps, when I heard someone calling my name.

"Theresa!" Someone yelled. I turned my head and saw Leo walking towards me. I smiled and felt myself blushing. Why was I blushing? Let me fill you in on what happened last night...

FLASHBACK

Gods, he looked so cute. I thought as I looked at Leo. I sat down on my bed.

"You can sit down if you want." I told him. I thought that he would sit on Percy's bed, but instead he sat down right beside me. Not that I was complaining.

"Hey," he said. "You wanna know something crazy?" He asked. I nodded.

"What?" I replied.

"Well, a couple months ago, your brother was kidnapped by Gaea. He was sent to this Roman camp, and two of my friends and I came here. So we had to go on this quest to find him, and in the end, well, Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus." I raised my eyebrows.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Yup. They fell right in."

"But... Shouldn't they still be in there? And, shouldn't they be dead?" Leo nodded.

"Yes, and yes. But being the amazing, strong, fabulous person I am, I single handedly rescued them." He said with a smile. I laughed.

"Ok, that's a great story. Now tell me how they actually got out."

"I just did!" Leo said. "I actually did rescue them by myself!" I rolled my eyes. Then (this is where drama happens!), my hand somehow met his. We both looked at our hands, then at each other. Leo's smile faded and he looked into my eyes. Either it was just my imagination, or Leo was leaning in closer to me. Oh my gods... HE WAS GOING TO KISS ME! Now, I know that you're thinking. They've only known each other for two days! Why are they going to kiss? But it just seemed so perfect. Leo's lips were only a couple inches away from mine, when I heard someone coughing. Leo and I looked at the door and saw Percy standing there, giving Leo a what-in-the-Hades-are-you-doing look. Way to ruin the moment, Percy.
