As expected, Noahโs best bud took the bait on going to see Violet. What Noah hadnโt calculated was that heโd leave right that second. Having worried about him and Marissa, heโd barely taken a bite of his own food before his best friend was leaving, talking of the next beer pong match. Marissa called after him, saying sheโd be there, and at the thought, his heart raced faster. Maybe heโd get to be on her teamโฆ? Get it together, man!
He smiled at Marissaโs grin. โThatโs good. I can usually only guess what people like to drink more than eat, but I tried my best. Figured what I grabbed would at least give you some more energy.โ With a nod, he added, โWhatโs Camp Half-Blood without a couple of insomniacs? I hope you got some good work done, at least.โ Noah was half-tempted to ask if he could see what sheโd been working on, but he was way too out of practice for that type of question. He could practically see Fee raising her eyebrow at him. How had he managed to date the second most beautiful girl at camp, again?
Er, well, she had been the most beautiful to himโฆ until heโd started hanging out with Marissa, that is.
Even though he didnโt have a watch, Noah checked his wrist as if it would give him all the answers to Marissaโs question. Why he was like this, the world would probably never know. โI should be okay. I think Iโm not supposed to meet up with everyone until noon or so. Besides, you probably wouldnโt make me late anyhow.โ He shook his head. โThe leprechaun, however, is a different story.โ
โBut, umโฆโ Gods, he better not be blushing. Kyle would never let him live it down if he found out. โIf you want, you could keep me company until then. I donโt really have any plans for today except that meeting. We could, umโฆ talk beer pong strategy, or something? Unless youโd rather do something else.โ
It was official. He was hopeless.
---4 HOURS LATER---
Why the hell had she said yes?
Not that he wasnโt excited, of courseโsheโd said yes! More time with her! But oh gods, was he being such a clumsy dolt. Anyone else wouldโve probably thought he was just a drunken son of Dionysus again. Everything in Noah was panicking that Marissa would think he was some idiot who had no clue what he was doing. How did I ever have a girlfriend? he wondered painfully as he missed yet another shot on the practice ping pong table he had set up in his cabin. It paid to be one of few Dionysus campers at this place.
If this had been an actual date or something (not that it would be, what were the chances of that?), Noah would have taken her to the strawberry fields, shown off a little. But no, of course heโd taken her to his messy cabin for beer pong. He could see the Love Twinsโ facepalms as he thought about how awful this was. He could only hope Marissa was at least having some fun. Please please please.
Well, at least heโd thought ahead insomuch as they were using water instead of beer. Couldnโt be inebriated when they inevitably took down Kyle later, right?
Noah glanced at the clock and realized quite a few hours had passed since theyโd started. It was almost time for that meeting of head counselors or whatever. Heโd promised Fee heโd be there, butโฆ even if he was embarrassing himself, he really wanted to just stay here with Marissa for a while. That wasnโt weird, right?
โHuh, I guess itโs time for me to skedaddle. But uh, we could walk together, maybe? I mean, you donโt have to come if you donโt want to, but I donโt think non-head counselors are forbidden from it or whatever.โ He really needed to learn when to shut up. โBut um, yeah, itโs up to you.โ Gods, kill me now.
