Aw…are we near the end?
Pretty much. Mom says I need to focus on chopping dummies heads off more than annoying the CR*P out of Jackson.
…ignoring that…
#6 and Capture the Flag
Working hard on making books appear, I whistle 'Promises' by ADEMA to pass the time, but all I'm getting are scraps with the lyrics. Jeez. I huff and look out the door. This is the last boring way before my best way yet: #10. Clarisse is due any minute, Ashlyn is writing a poem, and Jade is…well…chopping dummies heads off, what I'm supposed to be doing. Why is she the lucky one! I huff and a hardcover book drops on top of my head, making me fall out of the chair and chin flat onto the floor. I grumble and pry the book off my head, seeing it's only the first two out of…five I believe. Someone knocks on the door of the Ares cabin and I rush over to place my ear on the wood.
"Name?" I demand.
"Let me in dork," Clarisse snorts.
Time for some fun, don't 'cha think? "Sorry, I only know 'Clarisse is a dork' and Clarisse digs dorks'."
She punches her fist through the wood a centimeter from the tip of my nose. "LET ME IN!"
"Alright, jeez!" I snap, ripping the tape off and yanking the chains out, sliding the cage with the rabid puppy terrier to the left, detaching the buzzer, plucking the bucket of acid off the top of the door, and finally unlocking the door, allowing Clarisse access. "What?"
"Where the books you promised?" she asks.
I point to the table, now a third hardcover landing on it. "It takes time, dumb as*," I sigh. "You can have the first three, but the last two have to w-"Two hardcover books slam down on her head, so I chuckle. "Never mind, now where's my money?" She hands me a pile of lollipop wrappers and runs off. I blink and look down and see this is enough for… "COOL! I can get a little plush Dum-Dum!"
ARES, B*TCH!
It's the next day, lunch time. Clarisse is annoying Percy and Logan comes over, setting his tray next to mine, since today's one of the only days we're allowed to sit at other tables. Also with me are Ashlyn and Jade, fighting about Tom. I huff and balance my chin on the backs of my hands. "You know he has a girlfriend, right?" I mumble.
They nod and go at figuring out ways to dispose of the competition, then Percy comes over, and then he slams his tray down on my head. I stand and Ashlyn runs in between us. "WHOA!" she says. She turns to Percy. "Hey, what's going on?"
He jabs a finger at me. "This is the last straw, Imbiber!" he snaps. "During Capture the Flag today, you're DEAD!"
I blink and gap slightly. "Wait…that's today?"
"Yeah, didn't you know?" Logan wonders, staring at Jade with some form of adoring gaze.
I squeal, making people turn to stare. "I NEED TO GET THE SHOVEL!" I run out.
WHAT IS WITH YOU AND SHORT CHAPTERS!
Cool it, the last chapter has it all!
It better, I'm not publishing you to waste hard drive space!
