Kaden and Lucy [PRIVATE]

Lucy walked in slowly, turning to look for Kaden. She was hugging herself, something she only did when she was feeling insecure.

Kaden followed closely behind. He sat at a random table, piling up on chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy. He started digging in. "This is good," he saw, swallowing. "And don't worry about Jason leaving, he's just a jerk."

Lucy just sat down across from him, not grabbing any food. "I didn't mean to kiss him." she said quietly.

"Well, obviously. That priss shoved you." He rolled his eyes at the thought, biting into another piece of chicken.

"He must think I'm a complete loser." Lucy said, leaning her head on the table.

"No. He thinks I'm a complete loser. He seems to like you. You seriously need to ask him out."

"Ask who out?" Jason asked, walking in, sitting by Lucy, still shirtless. "Is there some guy in camp you like, Lucy?" His muscles touched her arms.

The Aphrodite girl followed them in. Time for the total prank, the one that would permanently ruin Lucy's reputation with Jason. She saw three drinks arranged, about to be brought to the three. She took the one that would be passed to Lucy most likely, and put her special juice in it; crushed up celery, chocolate milk, vinegar, smashed bug, vanilla extract, a lot of onions (to make her breath horrible), and a dip of the smellest kid in camp's dirty sock. It would be the ultimate stomach ache.

The nymph brought the drinks over, handing the bad one to Lucy, as planned.

"That's no- Oh my gosh!" Lucy said as Jason spoke. "I...um...yeah there is." she replied, shooting a look at Kaden. Lucy looked at the drink but pushed it away, she was too nervous to drink anything at this point in the day.

"May I ask who it is?"

The Aphrodite girl scoffed. She'd have to do Plan B.

She went over to them. "Hello, Jason, nerds. Hey, Lewey. I want to impress Jason." She giggled at him, and put a hand on his muscle. "And I bet Your Uglyness can't even beat me at something simple, like- like a drinking contest!" She got a cup of water. Kaden took a sip before watching, a bit wary. "Unless, you know, you're too scared you'll be humilaited in front of Jason."

Jason went to speak several times, but was interrupted by the Aphrodite girl giggling and asking about his abs.

Lucy flinched as the girl came over. She listened to her words and grabbed her glass. "Sure. A simple drinking contest. Let me just get u-" she began but was cut off by her drink flying into the girl's face. "Whoops."

The girl stared at her, goo on her face, angrily. "YOU KNOW WHAT....Jason! She likes you! I suspect it very much. Can't you see? She blushes when you look at her! LUCY CARMICHAEL WANTS TO ASK JASON SUNGO OUT!" she screamed. Everyone stared.

Lucy froze slightly but then smiled. "Yeah, I like him. I have a little crush. So? Everybody has crushes." she said.

"But, but...but."

"Wait, so you really were going to ask me out?"

Lucy looked at Jason. "Kaden was trying to get me to, but I don't think I will." she said.

"Well, I kind of have this...er..like, crush right now...so...sorry."

"Don't worry about it." Lucy said, even though she felt her heartbreaking on the inside. She put a believable smile on her face and turned her attention back to Kaden.

Kaden was stuffing his mouth with the mashed potatoes and gravy. "Yes?" he asked, mouthful.

Jason just chuckled.

Lucy smiled. "How attractive." she said with a roll of her eyes.

"Pshhh, I'm the lady magnet."

"Yeah, right." Jason flexed, right in front of Lucy's face.

Lucy pushed Jason's arm away with a laugh. "Okay there, Casanova." she joked.

They both chuckled.

"So, do any of you guys have practice or anything today?" Kaden asked.

Lucy shook her head no and looked at Jason.

"Nahhh."

Kaden nodded. "Do you guys want to go to the armory? I kinda want to learn how to create my own weapons and armor and such."

"Haven't been there yet, so why not?" she said with a shrug.

"Alright! Are you guys ready?"

Jason nodded.

"Sure!" Lucy said with a smile. She got up and headed for the door.
