A Dip in the Creek (Open)

Kenz Cummings- "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but if you insult me, I'll smack you with my lyre.

I ran towards Euros Creek, throwing off my shirt to display my bikini underneath. I dove in, feeling the cool water grace my skin. It was a rare hot day in October, and I was determined to enjoy it. Several fish swam around me, but I ignored them and rose to the surface. I saw another person come towards Euros Creek. I waved to them, my hair plastered to the back of my neck.

I didn't even know why I was here, at the Lake. Well, that was a lie, actually. I did - I was exploring my new home. Camp Halfblood. For Demigods. Right. But I didn't really understand why my feet had decided to take me to the Lake, of all places. I couldn't even swim. It wasn't that I didn't have the morale to do it; I just hated water.

I kept walking, and came across a creek, which was surprisingly empty, save for one girl who had decided to go for a dip in the water. The water looked cool and incredibly inviting but - no. No. No going into the water. Not for me, no.

As I got closer, she waved. She looked around my age, maybe a little younger. "Hello," I said, giving a friendly smile. "I'm Evadne."

I surfaced, pulling my wet body over to land. I smiled at Evadne as I grabbed a towel and began wiping off. The burning sunlight was already drying me off a bit, but the towel around me gave me warmth from the chill of the creek.

"Hi, Evadne. I'm Kenz," I replied, sticking out my hand for her to shake.

I shook her hand softly, then let it go. "It's pretty hot today," I murmured, looking up at the sun with my hands shielding my face. "So, whose your Godly parent, then?" I asked the girl, curiously. She was quite pretty.

"Really nice day for a swim," I commented, cramming my head through the neckhole of my new t-shirt. When she asked who my god parent was, I raised my eyebrow.

"Right to the point, huh?" I asked, then smiled. "Its cool. My god parent is Erato, the Muse of love songs and poetry."

"I don't like to dawdle," I allowed, watching as she put her shirt on. "You're lucky! After Aphrodite, Erato would have been my second choice. Love songs and poetry...they're wonderful things." I grinned. "Anyway, I was just walking through here, getting a feel of the camp and all. If you need to be somewhere, I won't stop you."

"Hey, don't go just yet!" I suddenly exclaimed, throwing up my hand to grab Evadne's arm. "I mean, I've got nowhere to go either. We should just hang out."

I looked up at the sky, watching the clouds patter along. It was a particularly windy day; at least, that's how it felt on my wet skin. I clutched my lyre close to me as I stared at the passing birds traveling south. My mouth suddenly felt dry, but I couldn't figure out why.

"You feel cold?" I muttered, pulling my towel around me tight.

"Cool," I smiled. I sat down on a dry, pretty clean place along the creek bed, taking off my shoes. Thankfully, I was wearing a black dress, so if I accidentally stained it, it wouldn't be too noticeable. "And no, I don't particularly feel cold."

I looked up at the clouds, a peaceful smile on my face. "Oh, look! There's a cloud that looks like your lyre!"

I noticed 2 girls at the creek. I didn't want to bother them so I went near them. I took out my phone and covered it. I texted my friend Alaska that maybe she should come. BUZZZZ!!! I looked at my phone and turns out she couldn't come.

I took off my shirt and went out to the calm ocean. As I swam I was thinking about dad and mom. I couldn't see them anymore cause I was here at this boring place. I looked at my watch and it said 1:00. I decided to go back to the dry land and dry myself off. I took out my lunch and ate it in less than 2 seconds. I put my sunglasses on. I took out my corn muffin and ate it while watching the girls talk.
