"Thanks for the wonderful date Fabian." Thanked Nina outside her room. She'd been smiling all night.
Fabian smiled back at her. "So..." He shifted on his feet, unsure of his question. "Does this make us, er, boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Nina smiled at the shy British boy. He was so unlike most of the boys her age at camp. He was her dream boy. Nice, smart, funny, romantic. Now she knew what Annabeth felt with Percy.
"Does this answer your question," smirk Nina. She leaned into him and kissed him.
Fabian hesitated before kissing back. It was his first kiss.
The bedroom door opened and someone squealed, making them jump apart. "Eep!" Amber clapped her hands together. "Finally, Fabina is together."
"Amber!" Nina hissed.
Just then Victor began his pin drop speech and Fabian rushed to his room. Amber pulled Nina into their room. Amber smiled widely.
"How was it? It must have been super fab for you to kiss him."
Nina blushed. "It was good," she replied, grabbing some pajamas to wear and beginning to change.
"Just good?" Asked Amber. "Or brilliant?"
Nina bit her lip and pulled on a T-shirt. "Brilliant." She decided.
Someone knocked on their door and yelled; "go to sleep, ms. Martin and ms. Millington."
Amber and Nina rolled their eyes and climbed into their separate beds. Amber put on her sleep mask. "You better tell me tomorrow." She yawned and turned off her lamp.
Nina turned off he own lamp and laid on her back.
What was she doing? She was sent to England to save some demigods and now has a best friend, a boyfriend and another family. She sighed and thought about Camp. She remembered getting there a few weeks after her father's death, being claimed and slowing finding her place in the camp.
Nina touched her lips lightly. Only two boys have kissed her on the lips before. Fabian Rutter and Connor Stoll; a son of Hermes.
She remembers those sweet days at Camp HB. The day of her first kiss. She was sitting on Half-blood hill, reading a book and tugging up daisies and grass.
"Willow would kill you if she saw you doing that," said a familiar voice.
Nina looked up and saw the mischievous face of Connor. Nina smiled. "Good thing she's not here." She smiled as he sat next to her.
Willow is a daughter of Demeter who takes plants extremely seriously. She yells at people for picking flowers roughly, so if she saw the way Nina was mindlessly ripping up daisies and grass she'd be fuming. Willow is also very... Dramatic?
"Nina," began Connor nervously. "Do you, do you want to go to the fireworks show with me?"
"Uh, sure." Nina said, the fireworks show was an event for couples to often have their first date at camp.
Connor grinned. "See you tomorrow then?"
"Yeah," she said then remembered something. "Actually I'll have to get back to you on my answer."
Connor frowned. "Did someone else already ask you?" His blue eyes looked sad, giving him sad puppy look.
Nina shook her head quickly and deafened herself. "No, no! I mean, Prim and I usually go to the fireworks together. I just have to check with her first."
Connor's smile returned, though a bit less bright. "Oh, okay," the dinner horn rung through the air. "Want to walk together?"
Nina nodded and they went to the dining pavilion together. Connor went to sit next to Travis, his biological brother, and Nina sat next to Annabeth. Later that night at the bonfire, Nina asked Prim about the fireworks.
"Eep!" She squealed, something she rarely does. "You have your first date!"
"So you're okay with me going without you?" Nina asked.
Prim waves her hand dismissively. "Who cares. I'll just go with one of the guys who asked me." Just then Will Solace passed us. "Hey Will," the handsome son of Apollo looked over at them. "Want to go to the fireworks with me?"
Will grinned. "Sure Prim."
"See you tomorrow then." She waved flirtatiously at him and Will walked away with a slight blush on his face. She turned back to Nina. "See, I won't be lonely."
Nina smiled and hugged Prim. She was the best. "Thanks Primy." She got up and slipped over to where the Hermes campers where sitting. Nina sat next to Connor. "I can go with you." She whispered to him.
His blue eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! I'll pick you up at the Athena cabin then?"
"Prim will probably make me get ready at her own cabin. Aphrodite cabin then."
"Okay. See you then."
The next day, Nina was getting dressed at the Aphrodite cabin. All the daughters on Aphrodite where rushing around.
"Hold still, Nina!" Demanded Prim, trying to put my hair in some complicated style.
"Only if you stop pulling out my hair." The daughter of Athena snapped.
Prim sighed and put down her friend's dirty blond locks. "Fine," She undid whatever she was making. "I'll just put it in a Dutch braid." A few minutes later, the best friends where ready.
Prim was in a light purple dress with a silver rhinstone belt and sparkly flats. Her hair was in perfect curls down her back.
Nina had on a simple turquoise sun dress with three buttons on the chest. Her shoes where just black flats with a bow on the side and hair was in a Dutch braid.
Prim looked out the window of the busy cabin. "Will and Connor are here."
Nina began to play with the fabric of her dress. What if he hates her outfit? Or what if asking her out was a prank him and his siblings thought up? No, not even Hermes children would be so cruel.
"Come on," Prim said, rolling her eyes and pulling Nina outside with her.
Will and Connor where in dress pants, slacks and button downs. Prim easily took Will's hand. "You look gorgeous." Smiled Will.
"Thanks." Prim blushed.
Nina tilted her head at her friend's reaction. So many guys complimented her in a day. Why was she blushing at one Will said?
"You looked awesome, Nina!" Connor said to her.
"Thanks Connor." Nina blushed.
The four thriteen year olds head to the beach. They said on blankets next to each other. The fireworks where wonderful, but not as much as Connor's kiss to her. Her cheeks where never so hot in her life. Prim kissed Will to, only theirs wasn't as awkward as Nina and Connor's. More experenced and calm.
"Nina! Wake up!"
Nina shot up in her bed. Amber was standing over her friend. "Huh?"
"The alarm went off and you didn't wake up," Amber explained, then she smiled. "You where smiling in your sleep. Where you dreaming about Fabian."
"Not exactly." Nina admitted, getting out of bed. "I was dreaming about my first kiss."
Amber's eyes widened. "Who was your first kiss? Where? When? Do you still like him?"
"Connor Stoll, Camp, when I was thirteen, kind of." Nina replied, grabbing some clothes from my wardrobe.
"You have to tell me all about it and about your date after I get ready." Amber said.
Nina hurried into the bathroom, showered, brushed my teeth and got dressed in record time. Joy glared at me as I let her in. What's her problem? As she left he girl's coridore, she could hear Victor talking on the phone to someone.
"...yes... in a week those vermon half-bloods will be dead and will make a nice supper for us... alright... bye."
Nina's eyes widen. In a week Victor would attack along with some other monsters. She needed to call in the others.
