Camp Half Blood

Chapter 7

'Wanna go shopping?'

I turned around. Carter Mayweather was sitting right behind me, on Hermes' cabin porch, wearing a college jacket and the orange camp half-blood shirt.

'It's too late' I whispered, hoping no one but Connor could hear me.

'Then why are you walking this late around the camp?'

'Ugh. Fine. You've won.'

He smiled.

'So, princess, why aren't you sleeping at this hour?'

'First: don't call me 'princess'. Second, well...I just needed to get some air.'

He raised his eyebrow.

'Ok. I belive you.'

It was my turn to smile.

'And why weren't you sleeping at this hour?'

'I guess I just had too many things on my mind...'

Camp Half-Blood at night was twice pretty than the usuall. The stars were shining, the wind was slightly blowing and everything I could hear was our steps.

'We're almost there. All we need to do is turn left right....here'

As soon as we turned left I could see a big, wooden house. I could also see some blue neon lights spelling "Camp Store" which were turned off.

We walked to the big metal door.

'It's locked' 

'Is it?' Carter cracked his knuckels. 'We'll see'

He gave me another one of those crooked smiles. Gosh! He was so perfect.

I dreamed for some more seconds, until I could hear somthing cracking. He opened to door.

'Ladies first' he said.

I enter the store, being less than a step ahead of Carter.

He turned the lights on.

'Welcome to the Camp Store, the place where you can get pretty much anything'

I go to the first aisle, clothing. I kind of wanted to get a cute T-shirt but I could't really find a good one.

'How bout this?' Carter asked, handing me a World's best satyr shirt. I laugh.

Next aisle: snacks.

'These campers really love strawberries' I said, taking a "Strawberry mix" from a red basket.
'Strawberry Jelly Beans, Straberry Chocolate, Strawberry Hot Chocolate, Straberry flavoured Blueberries...'

We walked trough the store a few more minutes, until his basket was full of cheap Camp Half-Blood souvenirs.

'Do we pay in dollars or....?'

Instead of answering my question, he pulled out a small sack full of gold coins. He left it at the desk next to the door.

'I guess it should be enough'.

We walked some more minutes until we arrived at the cabins.

'Actually...wanna see something really beautiful?'

'Sure' I said, realising I wasn't tired yet.

He took my hand.

'Come on'.

We ran trough the forrest till we arrived at the beach.

'It's pretty, huh?'

'It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen' I said, blushing.

The moon was shining over the sea and the small waves were weting the sand.

Carter decided to sit down on the sand and started patting the sand next to him.

'Come on, Brooklyn!'

I decide to join him.

At first we only look at the breathtaking view. It was unbeliveable.

'So...how do you like it here, at camp Half-Blood?'

'It's really nice. Way beyond anything I had ever imagined.'

Silence again. The only thing I could hear were the waves breaking into the cliffs.

I reached for Carter's hand. He took mine. We looked at each other. We were both blushing.

'I have the feeling you will be a really powerfull demigod' he said, breaking the silence.

'And why do you think that?'

'I just feel it'

We looked at each other.

His face was so pretty in the moonlight. His curly hair was messier than usually

'You are so pretty, Brooklyn.' he said, playing with my hair. 'Can I do something I always wanted to do?'

My heart started beating faster.

I closed my eyes. I could feel his soft lips agains mine. It felt so good. I kissed him back letting myself copy his actions. He put his free hand agains my waist, pulling me closer. After some amazing seconds we both slowly let got. It was amazing.

Be both started smiling.

'Whoa' he said 'Can't belive this just happend.'

He had a huge smile on his face.

We stayed silent a couple more minutes starring at each other and holding hands.

'I guess we should go' I said when the sky started getting purple-ish.

'Yeah' he answered, still smiling.

We walk holding hands until we arrive at the cabins.

'So we're a thing now?' I asked, full of hope.

'For sure' he answered, kissing me again.

When we finally decide to let go I start walking to my cabin.

'Good night, Carter!' I said, blowing a kiss.

'Good night, beautiful!'
