Sadie's POV
"Percy, you idiot! Do you not know how much I hate. Ugh!"
I feel bad for almost destroying the cabin but he deserves it. I'm not ready to meet my family again. Not even close.
I clenched and unclenched my teeth. I can't even think about seeing Walt or Jazz. It makes me want to go on a never ending rage.
"You've been doing this for more than an hour. You tired yet?" I know it isn't his fault that Chiron gave us this mission but still I wanted to smack that calm look off Percy's face. How could anyone be calm?!?
I tried to calm myself down. Guess what? It didn't work.
"I'm going to die! My live is over. I can't even-" Percy cut me off.
"Don't be ridiculous. It's only for a few weeks," he trailed off.
Liar.
We never know how long it'd take to gain the trust of the Egyptians.
But as all of you know this drama really isn't out of the ordinary.
"Our relationship with the Egyptians have been weakened. We have to go, this task was specifically assigned to us," Percy ran his hand through his hair.
Wow, this might be really stressing him out or I've scarred him for life. I'll go with the former.
I can cheer anyone up if I wanted to. After Annabeth's death me and Percy only had each other. We've finally accepted that she made her own choices and there's no way to turn back the clock.
Being that nice to anyone, scares me. Plus, my favourite hobby of all time is annoying Percy. Come on, he never yells at me! Anyone else would so why not take advantage of that?
I'm sorry Percy. Not.
"You're talented. No one at this camp could be suitable for any task," his voice softened. "I mean look at you! You're amazing at archer and healing techniques, better than I'll ever be. I could believe you were a child of Apollo. To be honest, at first I'd mistaken you for a child of Aphrodite."
I never realized that his eyes were the perfect shade of emerald green. They shone so brightly and-
He jerked back. We were leaning towards each other. Whoops!
He cleared his throat awkwardly.
My biggest problem was how to stop my heart from beating so loud. I wonder if he could hear it? Because I certainly can.
He shook his head and continued, "I mean you're the girl who got 48% in 8th grade PE! Is that even possible?"
Way to ruin the moment. I should have never told him that!
But I dropped the bomb. (Not literally because I don't want to die. If it was just Percy in the room then I might have)
"Fine, I'll come." There was no point in arguing.
But apparently Percy wasn't expecting that. He stumbled and fell straight on the floor. Did I mention he hit his head? That had to hurt.
"What?!?" He looked completely and utterly flabbergasted.
His lack of trust in me was shocking so I did what any other person would do. I grabbed a pillow off the couch and threw it straight at Percy's face.
"Oomph."
Bulls eye!
Percy sat up and threw the pillow at me! It missed, of course.
"You missed me! You missed me!" I chanted while jumping in victory and laughing like an intoxicated hyena.
"Kane?"
"What?"
"You're completely crazy" Percy shook his head laughing.
My fingers itched to brush back the strands of hair that fell forward.
Maybe this quest won't be so bad after all.

Sadie doesn't know that Percy set it up... I wonder if she'll ever find out.
I know it's short but I wanted to give you the fastest update possible! Trust me when I say I'll try my best to post longer updates! I'll try and finish this before working on any other book. To be honest I have no idea where I'm going with it. But I need to see Sadie and Percy get closer. Or will they with Walt joining the mix.
Please comment. I miss hearing from you all after being away for so long!
Vote, Comment and I dare say Fan!
I LOVE YOU ALL!
