"Katie! Have you noticed the fliers for the dance around camp? Everyone is soooo excited!" My good friend Lexxi squealed.
Can you guess who she's a daughter of? You guessed it, Aphrodite. She had the looks too, beautiful brown hair, blue eyes that had hints of hazel. Me? Pin strait blond hair that had no volume (A/N: Personally I like Katie with brownish blond hair but blond will work better in this fic :D) and green eyes .
"Yea, I've noticed but I'm not that excited. I mean they haven't even gotten anyone to sing or any bands to play!" I told her
"I'm in charge of that part, and I have a deal for you! If someone asks you to the dance you have to sing at least one song at the dance!"
"Easy! Deal, I doubt I will be asked!"
"Okkkkkkkkkk Katie! See you later!" she said and ran off.
That girl and her crazy ideas…... The chances of me getting asked to the dance are 1 to 1000. Ok maybe more like 10 to 1000, but still! I shook my head and walked over to the strawberry fields.
STRAWBERRY FIELDS
"Katie-Kat, how are you?" I heard the one person I didn't want to see say
"I was fine, but then you came." I yelled back
"Katie! That hurt right here" Travis put his hand over his heart.
I rolled my eyes. Could he ever leave me alone? Apparently not.
"What do you want Travis?"
"Has Lexxi talked to you about the dance yet cause she's going crazy about it"
"Yea she made a deal with me if I get a date I have to sing at the dance. But I won't have to."
"Hmm I sure that once she finds that I'm taking you you're going to have to sing." he whispered to me.
I looked at him processing his words.
"Wha-?"
"Pick you up at 9 Katie-Kat!"
Did Travis Stoll just ask me to the Camp Dance?
NEXT DAY- REHERSALS
"OHMYGOSH! WHO ASKED YOU? WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? ARE THAY HOT?" Lexxi yelled
"Yes I'm singing a song that I wrote, thanks for caring!" I said
"Sorry, sorry, what songs?"
"One, we agreed on one.
"Fine, fine!"
She took the paper out of my hands and read over the lyrics.
"Good, good and you gave the band the music?" she asked
"Yes they've got it"
"Good we're having rehearsals everyday"
"Ok"
(A/N: I'm just going to skip all other rehearsals cuz I'm lazy sorry!)
DEMETER CABIN
I looked at what I was wearing nervous because the dance didn't have a theme. My dark green dress was strapless and tight at the top and loose and poofy at the bottom. I also wore black leggings with flats. My blond hair was worn down in its natural flat style with some green highlights.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
I opened the door to see Travis.
"Hey Ka-wow, Katie you look amazing"
"No I look weird"
"No, no you look great!"
"Fine lets go"
We walked to the pavilion talking about the things we like to do when we heard loud music and saw strobe lights. We walked in to see people dancing and lots of food.
"Sorry Travis but I have to go back stage to get ready but after I will come back."
"Ok Katie see you soon"
"KATIE" Lexxi shrieked "you have one minute till you're on!"
"Go on Lexxi" I said calmly and pushed her out.
She looked around nervously but started talking.
"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, having fun?"
"YEA!"
"Good now some may not have heard but I made a bet with a girl saying if she got asked to this dance she had to sing a song and she got asked so now she will be singing for you! Ladies and Gents, Katie Gardner!"
I walked out on stage and saw everyone waiting.
"Hey everyone. I recently wrote this song reflecting about camp half blood, the war, and being claimed and other stuff everyone should know the feeling of, so I hope this explains it."
Tripping out
Spinning around
I'm underground, I fell down
I fell down
I'm freaking out
So where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it?
I, I won't cry
I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I'm falling hit the ground
I'll just turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I won't cry
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry
I waited for their reaction. Then suddenly everyone burst into applause. I smiled and left the stage and walked over to Travis.
"Katie! It's like you stole an Apollo kid's voice"
"My dad's mom use to sing so he and when she died, he made me learn to sing"
Just then, Abigail, a girl from Aphrodite came up to me.
"Do you do parties?" she asked
