Hello yes I have updated the cast list on chapter three so please if you were actually using that for reference go look at it again bc it changed. Anyway, this is kind of just a filler chapter because I just wanted to get to the next couple chapters bc I kinda already had them written in my head and I just wanted to get them down before I forgot them, so I spewed this out and I hope it's okay bc like I might've suggested it's not my best work in this chapter. But we get to see Liz and Will actually talk to each other in the next chapter so yay.

Will POV

"WHY ARE THESE MEETINGS ALWAYS SO BORING GODS I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN TO MORE EXCITING FUNERALS CONNOR DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN GREAT GRANDMOTHER FELL OUT OF HER COFFIN OR THE TIME OUR CONFETTI LAUNCHER WENT OFF AND HIT CLARISSE SO WE PLANNED OUT OUR OWN FUNERAL? THAT WAS A KICK ASS FUNERAL." Travis had climbed onto the Ping-Pong table and looked like he was about to start kicking people. I was sympathetic because the meeting was really boring but I thought standing on the table was a little over dramatic.

"Mr. Stoll, get off the table this instant. We have important matters to discuss." Chiron shooed Travis down. Travis grumbled and hopped down, then propped his feet onto the table in defiance.

"Fuck the system."

"Mr. Stoll, another word out of you and I will send you and your brother to your cabin."

"What did I do?" Connor had been asleep with his face against the table, and when he sat up he had little dents in his face where the net had been touching him for so long.

"Now, we will be choosing what you all have fondly started referring to as 'lieutenants' which is fitting I suppose. If you will, please choose the sibling you think would be best suited to replace you in the case that you die a horrible death." Chiron had his pen poised over a piece of paper and went around the table to each cabin leader, writing down who we declared to be our lieutenants.

When he got to me, I heard someone whisper something that had really been nagging me in the back of my mind.

"The Apollo cabin needs lieutenants the most, because their counselors always die." I had been thinking about that on and off for the past month, but hearing it come out of someone else's mouth kind of chilled my blood.

"K-Kayla. Kayla Bennet." Chiron wrote Kayla's name down and went on around the table, stopping at Travis and Connor.

"Should both of you die, which of your siblings should take your places?"

At the same time the Stoll brothers opened their mouths and said different things.

"No. Liz." Travis shouted, failing to convince Connor.

Connor: SHE STEALS MY SOCKS I KNOW ITS HER. I CHOOSE CHRIS. WRITE DOWN CHRIS.

Travis: CHRIS WENT TO THE DARK SIDE.

Connor: SO DID LIZ WHAT'S YOU'RE POINT.

Travis: LIZ WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PUT A LOCK ON THE DOOR.

"Woah really okay. Write down Liz." Connor conceded. "Is that why I couldn't open the door?"

"Jake installed it for her." Travis said, glaring at Jake Mason, who just shrugged.

"Dating one of my sisters and helping the other prevent theft. I really don't like you." Connor told him, trying to be menacing, but it really didn't work.

"Now that that is done, you may all return to your cabins." We all stood up and went to leave, but Chiron called me back. "Will, don't let your party get out of hand tonight. The harpies will not be patrolling, but any sign of alcohol and I will shut it down."

"It's like twenty to thirty kids, Chiron." I lied, knowing it would actually be about half of camp. "There won't be any drinking. Thanks for being cool about it though." I stood there awkwardly, wanting to leave.

"I never minded because I know how much everyone at camp enjoys this party, so it would be no use to try to stop it. But absolutely no alcohol," he gave me a stern look, and then rolled off in his wheelchair.

"So wait, Chiron doesn't care that we throw a party every year?" Daniel asked, fixing his hair in the mirror.

"Evidently not," I shrugged and slouched down on the couch.

"Will Solace." I looked over and saw Kami standing there with her hands on her hips, looking angry.

"What?"

"You can't wear that!" I looked down at what I had on, which was just shorts and my camp shirt.

"Can you elaborate on why I can't wear this?" Kameron looked like she'd had enough of my slouchy behavior and marched into the boys' changing room, ignoring the fact that Austin and Nathan were still changing, and came out holding a new set of clothes, which she threw at me.

"Put that on this instant. I cannot have you looking bad at my party. And Liz is going to be there and we all know how much you want to impress her." Kameron flipped her hair and stalked over to the stairs.

"Americans are so strange." Daniel told me, looking at me like he pitied my existence.

"'Hou hou Americans are so strange oui oui baguettes revolution.'" I did a really bad imitation of his French accent, but it was good enough to piss him off, which was funny. He flipped me off (I guess that's an international thing) and followed Kameron down the stairs.

"I feel the love." I muttered, heaving myself up to go change.

"Will Solace!" I turned and found Steve Pence and Kayla beside me, both bobbing their heads to the beat, but completely focused on me.

"Oh hey Steve," I tried to smile, but the way he was looking at me didn't make me feel like smiling. It was an intense look, like he was deciding my fate or something.

"Will Solace, I've come to tell you that there is a young lady here who feels very bad for leaving you last summer." Steve nodded to the side and I saw Liz standing by herself, hand on her boob like she does when she thinks.

"If Liz wanted to date me or whatever, she wouldn't have left."

"Will Solace, have you actually talked to her?"

"No but she barely even looked at me."

"Will Solace, do not be an asshole."

"Steve I know you think you're doing good here but Liz doesn't have the same feelings for me as I have for her and that's okay. I'm not gonna try and force her to do stuff she doesn't want to, because I'm her friend. And friends aren't assholes to their friends." Steve looked at me with narrowed eyes, as if deeply evaluating my answer.

"Will Solace, Liz does care about you. Very much so. Go talk to her." Steve reached out and grabbed me, then shoved me towards Liz.

Urp yes. I adore Steve. Steve Steve Steve. I love Steve. He's a minor character and I love him. Urp.

Also: I am on twitter and you can totally go follow me. My twitter handle is MissMontanaD so yay I post stuff about the story sometimes so you might know what happens or when the cast list changes (bc people age faster than I write) or when I get a really good idea for the story, or you can tweet me ideas for the story, I'm down. I might make it work. Maybe I'll make someone's sibling named after you or something. I don't know. I'll get creative.
