Chapter 6: The School Social
Annabeth
I was excited for the school social. I decided to wear some light blue ripped jeans and a light pink shirt. I went to school with Piper, who was wearing dark blue jeans and a rainbow tye die shirt. Her hair was partly braided though most of it was out. I decided to have all of my hair out. When we arrived at school we were taken into a room by Hazel and Katie. Inside a bunch of people- Percy, Travis, Connor, Frank, Leo, Calypso, Jason, Silena, Charles, Luke, Thalia, Will, Nico and Rachel - were sitting down in a circle (yes it's a big group). Piper and I sat in between Rachel and Silena. "So," Travis said as soon as everyone was suited. "Who wants to play truth or dare?" Everyone cheered.
"Okay," Rachel said. "Who'll start?" No one said anything. "Fine," Rachel said, a smirk on her face. "I'll start." She grinned. "Okay..." Rachel looked around the room and her gaze landed on Katie. "Katie, truth or dare?" I was convinced Katie would say truth. "Dare!" she exclaimed. "Okay..I dare you to show us your soulmate tattoo." Katie glared daggers at Rachel in a playful way. She lifted her sleeve to show a pair of winged shoes. What could that mean?
Connor Stoll suddenly burst out laughing. Travis smirked, looking a bit stunned, and elbowed Connor in the ribs who stopped laughing. "My turn!" Katie said, dropping her sleeve. "Leo, truth or dare?" Leo frowned. "Uhhh...truth is boring so I'll go dare!" Katie frowned then laughed. "Kiss the person on your right." The person on his right was Hazel so he went over and kissed her on the cheek. Hazel looked stunned. Leo looked around mischievously. "Perce, truth or dare?" So far no one had said truth.
"Dare."
Leo stared at Percy and Percy stared back calmly. "Go in the closet with Annabeth." Percy raised an eyebrow. "Really?" he asked. Leo nodded, and gestured to the closet in the room. Percy stood up whilst rolling in his eyes. I joined him. We walked into the closet and went inside.
The doors shut.
Percy looked at me. "I'm sorry," he said. "About what?" I asked. "Getting you into this. I'm sorry." He met my eyes. "I...you know that soulmate tattoo?" I nodded shakily. "When I first met you...I thought...you would be the one." I blinked. "Oh my god," I whispered. Then, all instinct took over. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer. When he didn't object, I kissed him on the lips. He kissed me back and I sighed in relief.
We pulled away and stayed there in silence. "Don't speak of this to anyone," Percy said. "I won't I promised. After a few more minutes of waiting the door opened and we stumbled out.
Frank
"I am so gonna kill you for that," Annabeth said to Leo, her grey eyes flashing. I watched, amused. "You didn't even kiss?" Connor whined. Percy shook his head. "No. Cause-it's-weird." Connor shut his mouth and grinned. "My turn," Percy said. "Thalia truth or dare?"
Thalia answered, "Truth." Percy smiled like he already had a plan. "What is your deepest, darkest secret?" Thalia's cheeks turned red. She glared at Percy but opened her mouth. "Um...well..." she bit her lip. "This year I kinda went a bit nuts and I may or may not have dressed up as a Disney Princess-"
"Which one?" Percy asked. Thalia looked like she was about to rage. "Aurora." The group laughed. "Continue," Percy ordered. "Anyway," Thalia said. "I um...ran through the streets with the costume on and stayed with it on for a few hours. No one knew. Until now!" She glared at Percy even more. The group laughed even harder.
Thalia turned to me. "Truth or dare?" I hesitated, thinking of which one. "Truth," I said. "What's your biggest fear?" she asked. She was probably expecting something major and exciting. "Bees," I said. The group laughed. I smiled and laughed too. Thalia looked pleased. I turned to Travis. "Truth or dare?"
"Dare." Travis's answer was almost immediate. He grinned like a maniac and I frowned. "Take Katie and dance for the full entirety of a song." Katie and Travis both fumed. They walked out to the gym and everyone followed them. They started dancing and we all laughed. Travis purposely stood on Katie's feet and Katie 'accidentally' kicked him. That made us laugh even harder. After the song finished, we returned to our secret room.
Travis turned to Connor. "Truth or dare?" he asked his brother. "Dare!" Connor replied. Grinning like crazy. "I know we've done this before but kiss the person next to you." The person next to Connor was poor Leo. Leo scowled as Connor kissed him on the cheek. The group laughed. Leo smirked and and Connor punched Travis' arm gently.
"Will, truth or dare?" Connor asked Will.
"Truth," Will replied, his blue eyes fixed on Connor's. Connor blinked. "I did not expect you to choose that. Anyways..." he trailed off. I smiled at his confusion. It was fun to watch!
"Okay I have no ideas anyone else got one?" Travis whispered something to Connor and Connor smiled. Uh oh...this was going to be bad. "You have 24 hours to live. What do you do?" Will blinked. "I guess....do whatever I want? No-that's stupid. I'd have an amazing last meal, say bye to all my friends and family and just do some very stupid things." Connor grinned. "That is definitely what I'd do!" he exclaimed. Will smiled faintly. I spoke up. "I've got a question. Why would you say bye to your family and friends second? Wouldn't that be a top priority?" I asked. Will turned pink. "Amazing meal, first," Jason commented. "Just...hilarious." Everyone laughed.
"Okay," Will said. "Jason...truth or dare?" Jason seemed to ponder the thought. "Dare," he finally said. "Okay... go outside and ask a teacher if they would like to dance?" Jason looked at Will. "Any teacher, specifically?" Will nodded. "Coach Hedge." Jason nodded. "Great," he said, swallowing. We all went outside. Jason asked Coach Hedge and let's just say the coach didn't handle it very well.
Okay, he threw a fit. He yelled at Jason for being ignorant and stupid. When Jason came back he was holding back laughs. We returned back to our room...
After more hours of playing truth or dare and hanging out, we had to go. I said bye to everyone and went home, feeling happier than ever. What a great night!
