Chapter 11: Dress's and dates

Selena's POV

It's been awfully quite at camp these past few days since Charlie and Nico had that fight, nobody has treated them like before. It is almost like they're being persecuted for committing a major felony.

Charlie tried to convince me that Nico flipped him off, or something stupid like that, but I don't know what to believe from him nowadays.

The stupidest part, though, was that I had this dream of him being my Prince Charming where he would always save me from a dragon. I really need to see a shrink.

Instead I got a workaholic who is more interested in the dragon than me.

I also found out that Nico had been shadow traveling to camp to get an extra sword of his after he broke his last one (again). Now Mr.D, the great caregiver that he is, won't let Nico leave so he's stuck at Camp Half Blood until the end of the summer.

So, to distract myself from this nonsense, I looked in the full length mirror in the Aphrodite cabin. I was decked out in a floor length strapless purple gown, complete with a fitted corset that hugged my curves, and a accent ribbon in lavender around the waist. Below the ribbon at the waist were ruffles that further accentuated my curves and made me look gorgeous. But what good was it being gorgeous, when no one was around to see it. As it was, I was alone in the cabin, well besides Sarah, who was also trying on her dress.

"Well aren't you hot as can be, I feel bad for the guys who aren't taking you to the dance. "Wait…who is taking you to the dance?" Sarah asked peaking out of the bathroom while she was changing into her dress.

"I don't have a date" I said as I took off the black gladiator sandals that twined up my ankles.

"Pity, do you want me to get you one?" She asked from the bathroom.

"No thanks, who are you taking to the dance?" I asked.

"Anthony from the Dionysus Cabin" She answered back.

"I don't think I've ever met him before…" I answered back as I looked in the mirror again and pulled my dress up more "Do you think my chest fills into this dress all the way?".

"Yes, you boobs are screaming for air and your dress seams are about to break any minute" Sarah answered jokingly.

"Ha ha" I answered back sarcastically "now come on out".

"Ok" she said as she walked out of the bathroom.

Her dress was a inch above her knee, bright yellow and a deep v-neck.

"I have no idea what to say,. You look gorgeous, but I know I could never pull it off. Just, too low cut." I said truthfully.

"Thanks" she said as she walked around the room in her matching yellow round toe, 3 inch heels.

"Well, aren't you two hot"

Sarah and I turned around as fast as possible to be looking at Conner Stoll."What's it to ya' Stoll" I asked harshly, I am more than just a hot body right?

"I never said anything bad, I actually wanted to ask you something" He replied, somewhat nervously.

"What is it" I asked, my voice hard and lacking all emotion.

"Well I was wondering if…youwantedtogotothedancewithme?" He said quickly, stumbling over his words.

"Ummmm, well….sure" I replied, softening at the offer, I never truly wanted to go alone anyway, too bad its not my prince in shining armor.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yup" I answered back, still wishing that everything would be okay again.

"O-ok I will pick you up at 7:00 sharp tomorrow night" He said as he ran out the door, whooping an yelling.

"Well, well, well, who knew, you and Conner going to the dance together, I would have never seen it coming" Sarah said as she walked out of the bathroom in her regular clothes.

"Yea, well I guess a date is better than no date" I said back.

"I cannot wait until tomorrow night to see what Beckendorf says" Sarah said with a smile "Now come on we've got to go to Dinner"

"Ok let me get dressed" I said as I ran into the bathroom.

I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror of the bathroom once I closed the door."Me and Travis, Going to the dance together" I said out loud, wishing that if I just said it right, than magically, my prince would show up and make everything okay again.

I must give readingks credit for most of this because it was a disaster before and she fixed it! More to come if you review….
