The Crossroads: The Stolen Memories

The Dance

I am in my cabin right now trying to hide from the fact that I look like a model.  Why did I let that Aphrodite girl make me look like this.  This dance did start in an hour or so.  I could probably get into something else.  But what else did I have to change into? A camp half blood or Albany Academy shirt.  I heard a knock at the door and went to go answer it forgetting about what I was wearing.

In front of me was Flynn who was looking at me gaping. 

"An Aphrodite girl helped me get ready for the dance and... its a little much." I said

"No you look great."  He said.  "Really great."  He muttered under his breath but I heard him.

"I was wondering what your favorite color is?"  He said.

"You came all the way over to my cabin to ask me that?"  I said smiling.  "It's purple."

"One more thing.  What are you doing after the dance?"

I shrugged.  "I don't know, maybe sleep."

"After you are done dancing, I want to show you something.  I mean if your up for it."

"Sure want to meet in between our cabins since they're right next to each other."

"Sounds good."  He said and then left.

It was almost time to start the dance so I went to arena with the rest of the people that were there.  I noticed Logan and walked up next to him.  He was wearing a dress shirt and dress pants.  

"Uh, hi." He stammered looking up and down at me.

"A daughter of Aphrodite helped me get ready and it was a little much.  But here I am."

He laughed.  "Want some punch?"

"Sure."  I said and he walked away to get some punch.  

I walked over to Bianca and surprising Melody was there too.  Their dresses were gorgeous.  Bianca's looked like the sunrise and had one sleeve like me.  Melody's was like the sunset and she had both sleeves.  Their dresses reflected off the moonlight.  Bianca was bouncing and dancing around like a maniac.  Melody was shy and stood around dancing a little bit.

Logan came back and said, "Here you go."  Handing me the punch.

"Thank you."  I said taking sips.

Some music came on and Logan said, "Want to dance?"

We did a pretty simple dance.

"I didn't know you could dance Richardson."  I teased Logan.

He blushed and said, "I could say the same to you Rivera."

"So Logan tell me about yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"The only things I know about you are that you are blonde, have green eyes, your name is Logan Richardson, and you're a son of Hermes.

"Okay."  He started.  "My favorite color is royal blue.  I have a dog named Spruce.  I'm from Scotland."  That last part he said in a Scottish accent.

"Really."  I said interrupting him. "Why do you never use your accent.  It is so cool."

"I got used to not using it.  I'm an only child.  I really like spaghetti and I've always wanted to go to Italy.  My mom.."  He chocked up a little.

"You don't have to tell me."  I told him.

"Um when I was 11 and I figured out I was a demigod there was a monster that came after me and mom died fighting it as I ran."  He looked down.

I tried to comfort him but I was never very good at those kinds of things.  I couldn't relate.  My dad is alive and so are my friends.  They were the only people I had.

"My birthday is January 5.  I like to fly.  I'm jealous that you have a pair of Hermes winged shoes."

I rolled my eyes.  "Logan you could have just said that and I would have made you a pair."

"What about you Zoe?" 

"I like the color purple.  I'm the only child at least I think.  I'm not 100% sure about which memories are real."  I sighed.  I wish I knew backstory was completely true.  "My birthday is June 23.  My favorite holiday is Halloween. I don't know what else."

"Wait, wait, wait.  Your birthday is tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?

"It's not important."

"Yes it is."

We enjoyed the rest of the dance and went back to our cabins and said goodnight.

I got dressed in a camp shirt and shorts and put my hair in a ponytail then met up with Flynn.
