I slept in on Wednesday morning.
Today's the big day.
The party.
The set-up.
But what I couldn't understand was what Anna had meant when she said that things weren't going to end up how I had planned.
My plan seemed pretty good, fairly well thought out.
Everyone would come over to my cabin, and after everyone arrived I would suggest we went down to the lake for a swim. Everyone would agree and we'd walk down in one big pack, carrying swords to avoid the harpies.
Then, down at the beach, I would start a game of truth or dare. Everyone would sit down in a big circle, and I would dare Annabeth to kiss Percy.
Then, as they argued about whether they really had to do the dare, I would sneak off and get Athena and Poseidon from the water's edge, where my mom said they would be.
I would lure them to the group, and they would see Percy and Annabeth kiss.
Athena would storm onto the setting and yell, taking Annabeth to Mount Olympus to yell some more.
Meanwhile, Poseidon would high five Percy and give him plenty of "nice"'s and "way to go"s. Then the god of the sea would leave, and Percy and the rest of the party-goers would be left dumbstruck at what happened.
Finally, Athena would ban Annabeth from going to the dance with Percy, leaving him free to go with me!
Great plan, huh?
Yes, I thought it was.
I had soon come to the conclusion that Anna was just making up her little lie to scare me. Yeah, maybe she had seen me talking to Aphrodite, but she had no proof that she talked to Apollo.
I would have to just let it go.
I slid out of bed at eleven o' clock that morning and pulled on some cute sweatpants that said 'pink' on the butt. I put on a pink camisole and my baggy orange Camp Half-Blood shirt, which I tied with a hair tie in the back. Then I slipped on a pair of Etnies and walked out the door.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and I was looking forward to that night.
Around seven that night everyone started arriving at our cabin, which we had cleaned so it looked immaculate.
The Demeter cabin arrived first, followed by the Hermes cabin and Percy. Then Beckendorf came, who I had invited on a whim when he heard about my party. Annabeth arrived last, looked extremely harassed.
We had chips and dip out, and when everyone was eating, I walked around from group of people to group of people telling them that we were gonna go down to the beach.
Annabeth, who was talking to Percy, looked hesitant at the idea. But she agreed to come down.
So we all walked down to the beach in a huge group, and thankfully, no harpies came to eat us. Good thing, too, I would have died if my one-of-a-kind couture top got destroyed.
When we got down to the beach, I was about to suggest a game of truth or dare when I heard a crash behind me, followed by a booming voice.
"Charles Beckendorf!"
