AN: Heyy. BW here (again). Oh god, it's been a REALLY long time since we last updated. For one thing, this was ALL my fault. I was actually supposed to type this a LONG time ago. All I can really say is that I'm REALLY REALLY sorry. There's just been a lot of drama going on. No, seriously. One of our friend's actually disappeared for a few weeks. haha. Anyways, this is a long chapter to say sorry for not updating often. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: Nope, don't own PJO.

REVIEW!


Rola's POV

"You don't know oh oh. You don't know you're beautiful." I sang, checking my reflection in the mirror.

Hair? Check.

Lip gloss? Check.

I heard someone knocking on the door of the cabin and went to see who it was. It wasn't Connor as I was hoping for but someone I wanted to see just as much. I held open the door and motioned for Calypso to come in. The Aphrodite cabin was empty for some weird reason. I guess I was missing archery practice again. Calypso came in and started looking at the walls which were covered in posters of celebrities.

"What do you think?" I asked Calypso. She re-stuck the corner of a poster which had been coming off. "It's interesting. But who are these people?"
"Oh, celebrities" I replied. She still looked confused. Right. I kept forgetting that she hadn't been around for a few thousand years. I tried explaining.

"They're famous people, who, you know…" I gave up. She obviously didn't know.

"So how do you like camp so far?" I asked her, changing the subject.

"It's great. Everyone's so nice here. By the way, how way your archery class?" she inquired.

"Bad." I said, shuddering. I hated doing anything that made you tired. I also hated getting sweating. Suddenly, I remembered something I'd wanted to ask her.

"How did you find my cabin?" I said.

"Will told me." she replied.

Will? Who the Hades was Will? I'd never even heard of him before. I must've looked clueless because then she said, "Will Solace? He was the person who showed me around?"

"Oh him. The blonde jerk. Gods," I said, "He's so stupid."

"Will's pretty nice. I don't see why you don't like him." She said confused." Pretty nice? This sounded interesting. Maybe she liked him? He might be kind of retarded but…

"I wanted to tell you something." She said, looking at a poster of One Direction. "Go ahead." I said, eying her long fingernails. I made a mental not reminding myself to paint her finger nails pink. They'd look so cute. I was suddenly struck with a horrifying thought.

"You're not going to die, are you?" I asked her, terrified. She was too nice to die. "I swear, if you die I will personally go and punch Hades." Then another equally bad suggestion came into my mind.

"Have the gods put that stupid curse on you again? If they have, I'll…"

"Rola, calm down. It's got nothing to do with Hades, or any other god for that matter…well, maybe one…It's just something I need advise for."

"I immediately brightened up." Well, in that case, you've come to the right place! What can I do for you?" Calypso kept her eyes on the Justin Bieber poster. "You know sometimes…you…" I cut her off knowing exactly what she was about to say. "You like Percy, don't you?" I looked at the mirror trying to look unconcerned. And, ok, to check my makeup. Calypso started at me, her eyes wide open. "Am I that obvious?" She asked me, worried.

I started fixing my eyeliner. "No! I'm just, you know, good at this kind of stuff. And being a daughter of Aphrodite. That really helps." Calypso still looked shocked. "Another thing," I continued, still looking at the mirror. "I would be really pissed if Percy broke up with Annabeth considering the trouble my mom went through to get them together…" I shook my head. "Gods know how mad she'll be."

Calypso nodded. "I wouldn't want that to happen." Talk about selfless! This girl was the definition of the word. I couldn't say that about myself though.

"You know, Nico, Connor and a bunch of other people are going to hang out at the beach this evening. Would you like to come?" I asked. Calypso looked doubtful. But then, I had a great idea. "Will's coming too…"

"I'll come." Calypso said a bit too fast while getting ready to leave. "Thanks for everything, Rola."

"Anytime." I said, cheerfully.

"Oh, and Calypso?" I said, as she was half way through the door.

"Yes?"

"If you get together with Will, I swear I'll TRY to be nice to him." I said to her, laughing at the expression on her face. As soon as she left, I started getting ready to go and invite Will. I was NOT looking forward to this. The Things I do for love!

Will's POV

That girl was everywhere. She mostly appeared in nightmares, though. Now, I caught sight of her. She was picking her way towards me carefully, trying not to get herself dirty. Or maybe she was pretending to walk like a robot?

"Hey, Will." Rola said in her stupid high pitched voice of hers. I guess she thought it was attractive. To me, it sounded just plain freaky. I sighed. I guess I would have to answer her. "Yeah?" I asked. "What do you want?"

She looked at me, her eyes innocent. I trusted her they way I trusted Hades' underpants.

"Would you like to like to come and hang out on the beach today?"

She has got to be kidding. With her? That would happen when the underworld freezes over. I tried to think of a valid excuse. "Uh, I don't…"

"Calypso's coming." She said, interrupting me. I quickly changed my mind. "Well..." I replied.

"Great, I'll see you tonight." She said, walking away smiling and seeming satisfied. Which with Rola, is not a good thing. Something was definitely going to happen, and knowing Rola, it would be bad.


Calypso's POV

I got to the beach early so I could watch the sunset. This was something I'd been doing for thousands of years, back at Ogygia. I could never get tired of seeing the colors of the sky change and the way the many colors blended with each other.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned around. It was Nico, his hand shading his eyes from light as he looked at sunset. "Makes you wish you could paint, huh?" he said, sitting down beside me. "So, What do you think about camp so far?"

"I like it." I replied. Nico laughed. "Wait until you meet Clarisse. You might change your mind after that." He was silent for a few moments and then asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course." I said. Inwardly, I was hoping he wouldn't ask me a question that concerned my release from the island. But the gods must've been ignoring me because he then asked me, "Do you want to go back to Ogygia? Obviously, not as a prisoner, but just to see it?" I hesitated, not knowing what to answer. Thankfully, for me, Connor, Travis and Katie appeared. Nico looked at me. "Never mind."

"Never mind, what?" Katie asked me. "Uh…nothing." I replied. I saw her looking at me skeptically. "No, really." I added.

She still looked doubtful, but let it pass. Annabeth came just then and sat next to me. "So how's it going, Calypso?" she asked my cheerfully. "Great." I answered. I really hated that question by now. I mean, I really appreciated everyone's concern, but still, there were just so many times a person could answer that question.

"Where's Percy?" Katie asked Annabeth. Strangely, hearing Percy's name didn't give me that weird feeling I usually felt. I wondered why. Was it because I was now positive that Percy wouldn't like me back the way I liked him?

I looked up to see Rola standing a few feet away, staring at her watch repeatedly under her breath. Connor was sneaking glances at her. I suddenly realized that he liked her and smiled.

I saw Will coming up behind Rola and waved. Seeing me wave back, she spun around. "You're late." She informed him, icily. Will lifted an eyebrow, "So? Why do you care so much, anyways?"

Unable to think of a suitable reply Rola glared at him and stalked off, choosing to sit next to Connor.

"What are we going to do?" I heard Percy, whom I hadn't seen arrive, asked Rola.

"I was thinking some Truth and Dare?"

"What's that?" I asked, Travis. He stared at me. "You've seriously never played truth or dare?"

"She's not been around for a thousand years idiot!" Katie hissed. She explained the confusing and weird game to me as I listened. When she finished she asked, "Do you get it?" I didn't actually, but still nodded. She sat back, looking relieved. Then Rola sat up and said "You first, Percy." And that's how my first 'truth or dare' game started.


Rola's P.O.V.

Please, please, pick me, I prayed as Katie tried to decide who to choose. Typically, she chose Percy. To tell you the truth, I hated this game like Hades. It was just so...pointless. I know I'm the one who started it, but this was the only way to get Will and Calypso to kiss...

Whoever said that getting two people together was easy? They have no idea what they're talking about!

The game went on, and on, and on. No one picked me. Were they avoiding me on purpose? Why would they do that? I mean, I was a nice person. I caught Will shooting glares at me. Well, most of the time, anyway. It was Conner's turn to pick. I smiled at him, pleading with my eyes.

Apparently, it worked because then he said, " or Dare?"

Not truth, definitely. I had way too many secrets that I didn't want Will to know about.

"Uh...dare." I said. Maybe spin the bottle would have been a better option, I thought, freaking out, as Will suggested something to Conner in a low voice. I might have to attend my funeral soon, knowing Will...

"Starting now, no wearing any kind of make up until...", Conner thought for a second and said,"...tomorrow night."

Thank Aphrodite this wasn't life threatening, I thought, and then I finally registered what he said. "Wait a second, say that again?" I said, hoping that by some miracle, I'd heard wrong.

"He said, No wearing make up until tomorrow night," Will told me, enjoying every minute of this. I swear I was going to kill him.

"And that includes slutty red lipstick."

I was about to yell at him, and then realized he was not worth it. So instead, I smiled at him and said, "Will, truth or dare?"

Everyone went silent, knowing this would be good. And I could see Will was totally freaking out.

This felt good. Even though I was worried about my make up, I knew I could really use another coat of lip gloss...
I reached for my bag, but Katie smacked my hand away.

"Rola, the dare?" Oh right. The no makeup dare.

"So, Will?" I asked sweetly.

"Dare." he said. And NOT politely, either. Why was I doing this for him? He didn't deserve it.

"I dare you to go and kiss Calypso." I told him, loud and clear.
He just sat there, staring at me. Calypso looked equally shocked. I kicked him. "Can't you hear me?"

"Uh...yeah, don't scream." He said, awkwardly. He glared at me in a way, I admit, could only be called murderous, and then he got up...

...and WOULD HAVE actually done it, if the harpies didn't arrive right then, reminding us that we should've been in our cabins an hour ago. We all ran our separate ways and I stormed off. This whole evening had been a stupid waste of time.
Then I remembered something:
Did I really look like a slut in red lip stick?

Now, that was on the top of my "Find out ASAP" list.


AN: I just HAD to add the One Direction hints in there. I mean seriously, they're amazing! Which is weird since just last month I was obsessing over Asking Alexandria which are also a totally awesome band (For those who like metal :P) Anyways, hope you enjoyed this pretty long chapter.

DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!
