beach picnic [zoey]

Connor had asked her out! She'd told practically everyone she knew at Camp about a dozen times. Kevin had been happy for her, the quiet happy where he smiled brightly at her and insisted on listening to everything she had to say. He'd heard her giggle and shriek in joy multiple times. Percy had probably heard about it the most, considering they shared their cabin together. He'd had to deal with her going through her clothing and putting together several outfits. She'd covered her bed in possible outfits and promptly moved to laying out more outfits on his bed since he couldn't have expected her to lay her clothes on the ground. She'd asked if he minded but hadn't entirely paid attention to his response.

Nicholas had offered to help her and she'd gladly accepted. He'd actually been impressed with the outfits she'd managed to put together and had picked one out that he said looked adorable on her and he said he was certain any boy that wasn't gay would find her hot. She sat on her bed and let Nicholas do her makeup. She had naturally straight hair that she loved to make wavy and this time she let Nicholas wave it. She felt like she was being pampered and she loved it. While the Stolls weren't Nicholas' favorite people at camp, he didn't seem to mind talking to her about Connor, gossiping and wondering what the son of Hermes had planned for their date.

With butterflies fluttering around in her stomach, she was sent out to Fireworks Beach by Nicholas, who she heard mumble something about doing makeovers for money. She skipped and twirled, happiness lighting up her face. She'd been considering asking Connor out, or using Kevin, who was dating Travis, to find out if Connor liked her the way she liked him. After all, the girl didn't have to wait for the boy to ask her out. It was just a much better feeling being chased rather than being the one doing the chasing. When he'd asked her out, she doubted she could have said yes faster. After he left, she had rolled around in her bed, clutching onto her favorite dolphin plushy and squealing. She was fairly certain that Percy hadn't gotten any good sleep that night because of her.

She froze when she came to the edge of the beach. She could see Connor sitting on the sand. Her stomach twisted and she felt her heart clench in her chest. But it wasn't a nauseating feeling that it brought. She strangely enjoyed it. Clasping her hands behind her back, she walked over to him. She looked down at him and smiled.

"That seat taken?" she asked, pointing to the spot next to him, though she knew it wasn't taken. She shyly brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear. No matter how this date went, she was sure she'd drag Nicholas into Kevin's cabin and tell the two boys everything that happened. Every girl needed a gay boyfriend, she thought, and she had two. But she didn't think the date was going to go horribly. She had a feeling that it was going to be great and the first of many to come.

Connor squirmed as he felt his stomach twist and turn into several different sized knots. To say that the son of Hermes was nervous was an understatement, a major one at that. A few times his brain had suggested the idea of merely getting up and running away to avoid of being extremely nervous. It was his first date after all, something he wasn't going to let Zoey or the world know.

'Alright, I'll give her about ten more minutes. After that, I can safely assume that I am being stood up' Connor thought to himself. With how long both of them had been at Camp Half Blood, ten minutes was a good amount of time for him to sit around and wait. If it had been her first few years he would have picked somewhere a little more public. Mentally counting down the time, forcing himself to keep focus, it hadn't even been about five minutes before she showed up.

Lifting his head up to see her, Connor froze for a minute, barely hearing what she had even said to him. "Uh no, it's free. totally free" he stammered out, quickly patting the area next to him, indicating for her to sit down. 'Smooth Connor' he thought to himself.

Quickly grabbing the basket, he opened it up and looked over at the daughter of Poseidon. She looked so perfect standing there. And if though she was all dressed up, she looked even more perfect if it was even possible for her to do so. Compared to her, he felt totally under dressed. Maybe he shouldn't have worn his camp t-shirt this one time.

"So I wasn't really sure what to pack." Connor began as he grabbed a blanket and quickly laid it out onto the grass. Setting out two plates, he grabbed some fruit and set it on the blanket. "So I just grabbed whatever looked good and whatever I could find really." he added quickly and grabbed a few sodas and set them down. He wanted everything to be perfect, he grabbed nothing that he was at least allergic to. He just hoped he didn't grab anything that she was allergic to.

Zoey fiddled with her ring, shifting on her feet under Connor's gaze. Did he think she looked nice? Or was she too over dressed? She sat down next to him, putting her legs underneath her and smoothing out her skirt. She picked her soda up and popped it open. She wasn't picky, but there was some food she just wouldn't eat. "I'm sure it's lovely," she assured him with a smile, "So long as it's not fish or meat." She said it with a smile, but she was also serious. She could talk to fish and ever since she could, she'd stopped eating fish. Sushi even made her gag. And she happened to be a vegetarian.

She took a sip of her soda and set it down next to her. She'd never been on a date before. No one had ever asked her out before she'd gone to camp and after she arrived. She wondered if her half-brother had anything to do with it. Perhaps people were intimidated by her being Percy's sister? She didn't think there was anything to worry about. She wasn't particularly close with Percy. They weren't distant, but she was certain that Connor knew her half-brother better than she did.

She plucked a grape and tossed it into her mouth, chewing it before speaking again. "You remembered I'm a vegetarian?" she asked, smiling brightly. She didn't talk about it much, but she was never seen with anything made of meat. She'd once lectured Toby so much that he gave up meat for a week straight. His favorite food was a burger, however, so he quickly returned to being a natural omnivore. "That's really sweet." Not many people, even her friends, took into consideration her food choices. They seemed to assume she'd just pick away what she didn't like.

"Oh! I have something for her!" She turned and rummaged through the small clip purse she'd brought with her. "Since you put this together, I wanted to get you something." She pulled out and handed to him a brown leather bracelet with a wing engraved on it. "The uh wing reminded me of Hermes' shoes and I just thought you might like it." Was she blushing? Absolutely. Her face felt hot, but she kept her smile bright. She was happy, ecstatic actually. It was a beautiful day and she was spending it with a beautiful guy. Could it get any better?
