Drown

Chapter 9

Hey guys! So here's chapter 9^..^ I feel like in most other Percico fanfics, the other characters get left behind a little, so the attention of this fic will switch between Percico and other people. Yeah.

Also, I would like to know what you think, I mean, am I any good, or what should I improve, do you like the story so far etc... Yeah I would really like to know your opinions.. Comment..? :)

Here's chapter 9;

-Leo's POV- (Wait what)

I had to admit, that new girl, Caeda , was cute. Her hair always wanted to hang in her face, and she always brushed it back behind her ear, complaining about how annoying it was, but refusing to bind it in a ponytail. Once, I pretended to set her hair on fire, but I didn't let it burn. She cursed and punched and screamed at me, but I kept laughing. Until she punched me in the stomach. That one hurt.

''Leo Firefucker Valdez! Don't you ever dare pretending to set my hair on fire again! You scared me to death!'' she yelled. After she calmed down, we went to the beach. The water was clear and blue, and Caeda thought it was beautiful.

''Wait a minute! And wait here!'' she said, before running off towards the cabins. A little while later she came running back, wearing a loose, knee-length black dress. Different from the one she wore yesterday, but they still looked alike.

''Did you really have to change just because we're here?'' I asked her.

''Yes.'' she said. She threw a towel, which she probably took from her cabin onto the sand and took off her dress, revealing a black bikini with white dots. I found myself staring at her as she ran into the water, calling for me to come in too. I quickly took off my shirt and decided to leave my pants on. I ran after her and caught up with her fast. Not that she was a slow runner, the water simply slowed her down a little too much. I tackled her and she yelled as we went underwater, forgetting to take a breath. Her hair floated around her head in waves as we slowly sunk down. I came a little closer and she began swimming to the surface. I swam up after her, I knew she had to breathe, but still, couldn't she have waited for a few more seconds? She gasped for air when her head shot up above the surface again.

''Gods...'' she whispered, ''That was close.'' We waded even deeper into the water until we both couldn't stand anymore. ''Leo?'' she asked, ''Can you set yourself on fire in the water?'' I tried, but only my neck and head, which were above the surface, lit up. I shook my head.

''Not in the water, I can dry things that have been in water, though.'' I answered, touching my now dry hair. She nodded. Then she swam to the pier, which was a little to our right. Even though it didn't have stairs or anything, she climbed up with ease. She patted the place next to her. To my frustration I couldn't climb it, so I had to swim and walk to the beach again and then walk all the way to the end of the pier. I sat down next to her.

''Can you try drying my hair or something?'' she asked. I didn't know if I could dry others, but I decided to try. I set one of my hands on fire and held it close to her hair. It didn't catch the fire, but dried slowly. After about 5 minutes it was finally completely dry, and I dropped my hand on my lap again.
