-Annabeth-
The day started normally, well, it was normal until Piper ran up to me with a dress in hand. It was the kind of dress that looked like a man's button up shirt, but it was fitted, long, and dark red. Without a word, she hustled me into it. Hazel peeked in and gasped, "It's beautiful, Annabeth! And I know just the thing to go with it." She presented little gift bag to me. Inside were gorgeous little diamond studs and a silver necklace with a diamond charm swinging on it. I kept asking them why, but I could tell Piper was using her charmspeak to keep me quiet and obedient. I wanted to be dressed up for once. And I didn't have classes today, so this was fun. Hazel was in a black skirt that brushed just above her knees and a three-quarter sleeve blouse. She looked much older than seventeen, with curly hair and bright, happy gold eyes. While Piper didn't seem to nearly as old as her nineteen years. Her hair was in a pixie, a decision she had made late at night in a game of truth of dare, and her big eyes were the color of a sunset, rusty orange and pink; she was hyper active and seemed like a small child in a candy shop. When they were done, I was wearing the jewelry, had on just enough makeup to look good, but natural, and my hair was falling down my back, loose and curly.
Reyna strolled into the bathroom and did I double take, "Are you wearing... Makeup?"
Piper glared at her and Hazel sing songed, "We are going on a girl's date, remember?" The last word sounded more like, 'If you don't get dressed right now, I'll make you wear diamonds too.' Reyna's face dawned with realization and she hurried to the closet.
The four girls had been sharing this cabin for the past two years. After Percy and I graduated from Goode, they came to University here, and the following year when Jason and Piper arrived, the three boys (Jason, Frank, and Percy) moved in together while Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel included Reyna. She was so heartsick it wasn't fair. She'd been rejected by two boys she loved, then had it rubbed in her face when they showed up with girlfriends. And with what Aphrodite told her, she had given up. The only reason I knew, was because Reyna got loopy at night, and truth or dare was a big game with Nico, Reyna, Coach, Percy, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Will, Dakota, Connor, Travis, and I. Our version was a little different, because we gave the truth option and the dare option, letting them choose. Also, before each dare, we take a swig of Dionysus' favorite beverage. The night Piper cut her hair, she was going between cutting her hair and telling us who the most dangerous demigod was. I'm pretty sure she didn't want to say because Jason wouldn't be too happy about his girlfriend thinking Percy was more powerful.
We got in the car and shot off down the road, Reyna at the wheel, looking miserable in her maxi dress. She looked beautiful, but I figured that wasn't the quality she typically went for. I was determined to find someone for her, be it human, god, titan, or monster. Reyna wouldn't be left alone.
A/N: Hey guys, tell me what you think... I'll be posting new chapters soon. I'll try for one every few days, but there will be at least one a week. Also, they will be longer than this!
