Camp Half Blood x reader

A Days Hard Work (Chapter 20)

You woke up to one of your half siblings shaking you awake. "Y/n! You need to wake up! Your alarm clock has been going off for five minutes straight!!!!" Complained Ray, who was only 10 years old. She had a nice tan as well as sky blue eyes, long curly golden hair, and some lungs, that girl can really sing. You liked Ray, she kind of reminded you of y/s/n(your siblings name) at home. You really hope she's getting better. You had a stronger bond to Ray than the other Apollo kids. No doubt that the others make you feel welcome and at home, even Will tries to converse with you when he's not busy. But there was just something special about Ray...

Suddenly a hand was waving infront of your face. "Hello? Are you in there y/n?! You need to go eat so you can train!" Ray screamed in your face, you let out a chuckle. "Ok, I'm up. Thanks." You say rising out of your bed and going into the bathroom to get ready. "Your welcome!" She replayed with an childish grin on her face. 

After washing up and putting on your Camp Half Blood T-shirt, a pair of jean shorts, and your best training shoes, you saw Ray went back to bed, so you walk out to breakfast. 

The pavilion was pretty empty, for everyone else was mostly asleep. Surprisingly, there wasn't much Apollo kids up yet, only a couple others, who were in deep conversation, naturally you didn't want to bother them. You grabbed your breakfast, sacrificed a portion of it to the gods, and settled into the lonely corner seat. 

You all decided to meet up in the arena again, so you started walking over there. Unfortunately, you weren't alone. There was the same mean group of Ares kids. Why couldn't it  have been the reasonable ones?! Your conscience groans. You looked up to see them walk towards you. Oh snap, I'm doomed. You summed. "Greetings Josh." You say politely, not wanting to start up any problems. "Well, at least someone is polite, unlike some people." Josh indicated towards his grumbling siblings. "So y/n, are you here to train for your quest?" He asks curiously, with a hint of...politeness? That made you suspicious, but you answered a simple "yes." He nodded his head thoughtfully. Then the unexpected happened, "would you like to train with me?" He asks in a calm voice, with a tint of hopefulness. You were so shocked that it took you a while to respond. 

"Eh, sure...I guess. It would be nice to." You managed out. He then grinned. Maybe he wasn't to bad after all! Still, you were suspicious. You got into your fighting stance, facing Josh, you pulled out Moirai and he pulled out his sword. You two stared each other down until Josh made the first move. 

You just barely dodged it. He striked again, but this time you blocked it. His moves were pretty predictable, so you tried something, you stepped of to the side and striked, but he just last second blocked it. He grinned. "Think you can beat me that easily y/l/n?" You smirked as you reply, "In your dreams." Then you immediately striked again with the bottom of your knife, it hit it's mark, causing Josh to fall down. "I won!" You say triumphantly. You then helped Josh up, which surprised him. 

After a moment of awkward silence, Josh clears his throat. "I...uh...would like to say thank you for letting me train with you, you were really fun to work with, at least better than my siblings anyway, and was wondering if we could...you know...do this more often?" He asks while nervously scratching the back of his neck. 

Wow, was Josh actually being nice to you? Maybe he is tired of bullying everyone after all? Maybe he just wants a friend and not a goon. Or maybe it's a dirty rotten prank, and something bad might happen to you? Should you give him the chance?

Mwahahahahaha. I wanted to try to create a good cliffhanger, so maybe this is it? I hope of you people are enjoying this story! Don't get impatient though, your first quest is coming up sooner than you think! So stay tuned for next time, and hope you all stay safe! Until then, peace out!✌️
