Someday, a short story

'''This is a one-shot about Victoria, daughter of Nike and her crush. Please read The Girl with Wings first to understand more :)'''

This story is set on the fireworks show near the end of Camp, the same year the story takes place

It was nearing end of camp, and we had a fireworks show near the lake. I quickly got changed and went outside. The sky was really dark, and the moon was covered with clouds. I walked to the quiet side of the lake. I sat on the green grass, and stared into the sky.

I heard from James that the fireworks will look like animations, so I was pretty excited.

"Hey."

I turned around, and standing there was James. Luckily for me the darkness hid my blush.

"May I sit here?"

"Sure," I smiled.

From far away, I could see the Hephaestus Cabin getting everything ready.

Chiron blew his conch horn, and the show started.

The first rows of fireworks were fired, and it formed the picture of the twelve Olympian gods, sitting in their thrones and discussing about a matter. The picture seemed to move, and there were even sounds. Then it showed George Washington crossing the Delaware. It also showed a scene where Percy battled Kronos.

It was so realistic I almost believed that they were floating. Then the last scene started, which was when the gods battled Typhon and Poseidon came to the rescue. I heard that they were supposed to melt into the lake or something.

I looked aside to James. He was staring into the sky, the fireworks reflected in his eyes, smiling. I quietly smiled.

Someday, I thought, ''Maybe he'll love me. Someday, maybe he'll understand.''

I looked back into the sky. The image melted and the sparks fell into the lake.

We applauded.

I looked back at James. Maybe, someday.
