♫ That Power- Childish Gambino

before going to camp half blood, percy thought he’d be with a few guys, maybe running around and causing trouble.

little did he know it would just be him and one girl. that’s you.

when percy first arrived at camp, you were the one to give him a tour around the place. it was just a simple task, really. but it sparked a really good friendship between you guys.

you began hanging out a lot together. he would say something dumb to make you laugh, and you would respond by saying something twice as stupid just to make him laugh in return.

you liked him and he liked you, but he liked you more than like. he didn’t know if you felt like that, you’d never said anything. so he never said anything, he chose to enjoy the small miracle of a girl choosing to talk to him. and to talk to him the day after.

whenever you guys would talk, he would just daydream about how smart and funny you were and about how smart and wise you were and how you read books that weren’t even assigned to you.

you would talk about random things, and the summer was pretty much perfect. in his eyes, at least. he was never sure if you felt the same. but he felt this was pretty much destiny.

this continued until camp was over, when you two were sitting in the bus on the way home. but you were still in camp as long as you weren’t at the pickup point. so you guys still had time.

he kept rambling around random things, trying not to think about the fact this was probably it for you guys since you don’t go to the same school. but he worried even more that it would really be the end if he said how he felt.

so he just kept talking. as you sat in the dark bus, he looked at you and said “what do you think is gonna happen now?” he fidgeted with his hands, not looking up. he was too scared
