Deer In The Headlights (Octachel/Ravian)

11. Deer In The Headlights

"Hey, Mel!! Look!!" A fourteen-year-old boy called her fifteen-year-old sister that one time they were cleaning the attic.

"What did you find this time?" she replied, a bit tired. Her brother made a big deal about everything in there.

"Dad's journal when he met mom" That got her attention: she scrambled in her feet and sat next to her brother, curious.

Met a girl in the parking lot,

And all I did was say hello.

Her pepper spray made it rather hard

For me to walk her home,

But I guess that's the way it goes.

September 14th:

Can't believe Reyna left me two weeks ago here!! In this city filled with greeks... OK, not all of them are so bad... When I walking around, I passed by a all-girl-school. What caught my eye? Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Yes, the Oracle. We kind-of got along thanks to the 'see-the-future' gig, and, I won't admit it, but she's a good person. I walked to her to say 'hello'. I noticed she wasn't alone and that her companions were giggling. The next thing I know (or feel) is a stung in my eyes, making me groan.

"Oh, my Gods! Octavian!" she screamed at me. I felt a hand on my shoulder, but I shrugged it off, not knowing who was it "Oh, Octavian, I'm so sorry! I thought you were someone else..."

"Someone else?! I didn't even say 'hello'!!" I complained, rubbing my eyes "What was that thing, anyway?"

"Pepper spray..." I could hear the guilt in her voice...

Tell me again was it love at first sight

When I walked by and you caught my eye.

Didn't you know love could shine this bright?

Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

November 22nd:

Thanksgiving was approaching quickly. But today was a special day: Music Day (big deal if you're a children or Legacy of Apollo) So, Will Solace made this big bash in his home house (Austin, Texas. I'd had laugh if it was Nashville, Tennessee) I attended only because my relatives dragged me. I stood in a corner, sipping my drink and being ignored while everyone else danced, laughed, sang and had a good time...

"Will! Turn up the music!!" Rachel asked her half-brother when Queen's 'We Will Rock You' started to play. I stood starstruck, watching her dancing and laughing. I understood I was a goner...

Met a girl with a graceful charm,

But when beauty met the beast he froze.

Got the sense I was not her type

By black eye and bloody nose,

But I guess that's the way it goes.

January 10th:

"Hey, thanks for picking me up" Rachel thanked me. She had these art hang-out and she asked me to picked her up. Besides, we got pretty close lately. But I wasn't ready for what I saw: she was wearing this beautiful purple dress with leather jacket and black heels. I froze and stared at her. That's why I didn't see a fist coming my way. Twice.

"Stephan, stop!!" she screamed, running to me. My nose bleed and I'm pretty sure I'll have a black eye in the morning. But my mind was elsewhere... Who in Hell was Stephan?!
