COMPLETED!!! A regular girl named Zoe has always lived a pretty normal life. Or so she thought. The memories she thought were real may not be. On a normal summer day she meets a blonde teenager who takes her to an underground academy she figures...
I woke up and went to breakfast. The day passed by pretty quickly. After breakfast I had sword fighting and music. I wasn't very good at music and Melody was the teacher. Then we had free time and lunch. Then I did arts and crafts, archery, and canoe racing, which I got third. I used to do stuff like that all the time. I walked up to the climbing wall.
"How are you doing?" Asked Logan who was also doing the climbing wall.
"Good. What pranks are we doing tonight?"
"About that..." He said and he looked away. "I was wondering if you want to go to the dance with me." The last part he barely got out and it was like a squeak.
I hadn't been expecting that. What should I say. Yes? No? I'll think about it? It had been an awkward few seconds but it felt like an eternity. Was he serious? Was he just joking around with me?
I took the chance. "Sure."
He looked somewhat relieved. "Cool."
When it was my turn to go on the lava climbing wall I somewhat freaked out. I loved climbing. I was always fine at it but I didn't like the idea of burning myself to death. I took a deep breath, got harnessed in and started climbing. I ignored the fact that lava could kill me any second. Once I finally got to the top everyone cheered. Why were they cheering? I looked to my right and saw that a kid who was behind me had made it up to the top at the same time as me. Wow Zoe- I thought - wait to be impressive. Who was that kid?
He walked over to me and said, "I'm Flynn Daron son of Tyche. Pleased to meet you. What is your name?" He said.
"I'm Zoe Rivera daughter of Hecate." We shook hands.
Flynn had black hair and bright blue eyes (picture at top), his smile was so warm he could melt my face off and his teeth were perfectly white.
"You are a really good climber." He complimented me.
"Not really you got up to the top at the same time as me, and you were a few people behind. But thanks for the compliment." I said laughing a bit.
"Come on Zoe. Most people don't even make it to the top. You are really good." He said. That made me wonder where was Logan, maybe he didn't make it to the top.
"How old are you?"
"I'm 13. I'll be 14 tomorrow. What about you?"
"I'm 14 I'll be 15 November 13. But your birthday is tomorrow. That is awesome."
"Yep, June 23rd."
"What are you going to do to celebrate?"
"Don't know, probably nothing. Your the only one here that knows my birthday is tomorrow."
He frowned for a second. "I can spread the word." He offered.
"Nah, don't worry about it. I'm going to see if I can call my dad." And see if he is alive I thought to myself.
"Are you going to the dance with someone?" He asked.
"Um, yeah." I said biting my lip. "I'm going with Logan,"
He looked somewhat disappointed. "Oh cool. We should probably head down." I followed him down until we got to the ground.
"Are you going to the dance with someone?" I asked him.
"Um, no. I've been asked but you know...." He said. "Well I got to get ready for dinner. I will see you around." He pretended to take off a hat he didn't have and did a little bow. Then he walked off.
It was dinner time and a lot of people were buzzing with excitement. Especially the Aphrodite kids. We all ate lunch and we had until 8:00 to get ready for the dance. Seeing as i didn't really have any nice clothes I went to the Apollo cabin to see what Bianca and Melody thought i should do.
I walk up to Melody and Bianca and they are arguing.
"I'm not going." Said Melody.
"Please Melody. You even have a dress. I don't want to go alone."
"You won't be alone there will be plenty of other campers there."
"I'm practically alone without you. You are my wing woman."
"You don't have to go Bianca."
"Yes I do Tom said he would go with me."
"Really, that's awesome. But you should get Zoe to go with you." Melody said finally noticing me.
Bianca turned around to see me. "Oh hi Zoe."
"Hi, do you guys have any nice clothes for the dance?"
"Us, no. We each only have one dress Apollo gave to us. Mine looks like the sunset, and Bianca's like the sunrise. But you could ask the Aphrodite kids." Said Melody.
"I didn't expect you to go to the dance, you're like Melody." Said Bianca.
"Logan asked me and I said yes." I said thinking also about how I was also asked by Flynn. Was he asking me or was he just wondering?
"You don't seem very excited." Melody noted.
"I was asked by another guy too."
"Who?" They asked in unison. Creepy.
"A guy named Flynn Daron."
"You didn't say yes? Bro he is like the cutest guy our age. I know 5 girls who asked him and he declined. And have you seen how kind he is?" Said Bianca.
"Well sorry, but I already said yes to Logan. I'm gonna go talk to the Aphrodite cabin about getting something nice to wear."
I walked out of the cabin not wanting to deal with drama. I stayed away from it at all costs. But then again I was walking into the Aphrodite cabin which was asking for it.
I knocked on the door and it immediately swung open.
"Hi I'm Lacy." Said the girl who opened the door.
"I was wondering if you guys have anything nice I could wear for the dance?"
"Oh yeah we do." She led me over to a closet fill with tons of dresses and tuxes.
"Do you have anything a little bit less fancy?"
"Yeah-" She started.
"I'll take care of her." Said another girl interrupting Lacy."
She got out a white dress with one gold sleeve and gold lace around the waist. The dress went down to my feet.
"Put it on." She ordered. I went to the bathroom and did so. I came pack and she sat me down in a chair in front of a mirror. She curled my hair and did two braids that met at the back. She put makeup on me but thankfully not an overload. She did this all in about ten minutes.
I walked to the person sized mirror. "Woah." I said.
"Final touch." Said Lacy bringing over a gold laurel crown that looked like this.
