I'm sad :( I didn't get as many reviews as I would like. No matter, we'll get more this chapter! I hope.
Chapter Ten
Annabeth, Percy and the others got into a huge circle, Luke and Thalia at the very beginning. They had just finished writing their names down on a slip of paper and were putting them into the old, worn down baseball hat that Luke used to wear. When they finished, Luke handed the hat to Thalia, who was starting. They were going counterclockwise so it would go: Thalia, Luke, Nico, Jason, Piper, Leo, Annabeth, Percy, Katie, Silena, Beckendorf, Travis, Connor, Grover, Juniper, Chris, and finally Clarisse. Thalia already had a smug grin and deep down, Annabeth really hoped that she wouldn't have to be Thalia's latest Draw Victim. Usually, Thalia's or the Stolls are the worst…sometimes Silena's, too.
"Okay," She said, grinning so broadly, it looked like her lips were touching her ears. "You have to dance like an idiot for a whole song while Travis and Connor record you and put it on YouTube. If it's not crazy enough, you have to keep going."
"Are you allowed to do that?" Percy asked Annabeth. "The keep going thing?"
"Yup," Annabeth replied, staring intently at Thalia's hand. She was rummaging around the baseball hat. Annabeth really hoped that Nico would be picked.
Thalia drew a name out. Annabeth wasn't sure if it was possible, but Thalia's grin seemed to get bigger. "Jason." She burst out in laughter. "Travis, Connor, get your camera ready. This is so going to be in your wedding, Jason."
Jason scowled. "Crap."
"Go on, Jas. Dance," Piper soothed. Just by hearing her voice, Annabeth suddenly wanted to dance. Wow. Does Piper have that affect on everyone?"
"Whatever," Jason said. "Do I get to pick the song?"
"NO!" Thalia shouted and she ran over to the stereo.
Luke laughed, "You shouldn't have said that buddy."
Just then 'Turn Me On' by David Guetta started blasting on the stereo. Jason groaned. "Oh, couldn't you have picked something else?"
"Do you prefer Green Day?" Thalia challenged. Jason's eyes widened. Thalia is obsessed with Green Day. It's basically the only music that listens to. Luke isn't really a big fan of Green Day but he must have downloaded some of their music only for Thalia's sake.
Clearly Jason wasn't a huge fan either. "No. I think this is good."
"That's what I thought," Thalia said and restarted the song.
At first, Jason's dancing was simple: just a couple of steps and kicks here and there. Then, as the song progressed, Jason started getting more into. His dance steps quickened, his leg kicked around and began twirling. Piper and Leo started cheering for Jason while Travis and Connor were about to die of laughter. Their video camera was out. As soon as Jason started to mess with his shirt, Travis shouted, "THIS IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST YOUTUBE VIDEO EVER!" He shouted. By the time that Jason was over, Annabeth's throat already hurt from laughing, it was the still the first one. (A/N I know that it isn't a very good description. Just kind of picture really dorky, lame dance moves that'll make you laugh.)
"Nice going Jason!" Thalia said, clapping him on the back.
"Yeah, Jason!" Leo shouted. After watching Jason's dance on the video, they moved on to Luke.
"Oh no," Luke said, groaning. "How am I supposed to beat Thalia? Okay, I dare someone to chug three shots of vodka."
Beckendorf chuckled, "Luke we didn't bring vodka."
Luke grinned, "But I did." He stood up and walked over to a small cooler, smaller than the one that Beckendorf had brought, and it opened it. Inside were beer, rum, wine and vodka. He took out the blue vodka bottle."Let's see," Luke said, digging his hand into the baseball cap. Luke smirked. "NICO!"
Nico groaned. He ran his fingers through his messy bed-head hair. "Fine. Get me a cup." Luke grabbed a shot glass from underneath the table and poured vodka in it. He handed him it. Nico looked up at his friends, who were all starting intently at him. Nico took a deep breath, "Here I go." He pressed the shot glass to his lips and then jugged it. As soon as the contents hit his throat, his eyes bulged. He looked like he was about to go on a sugar high. "MORE! MORE! MORE!" He shouted. He held out his shot glass and Luke eagerly poured another glass. In a second, it was gone. Luke poured his final shot. Nico guzzled it down. "THANK GOD, that's over." Nico said, burping slightly.
"Nice, Nico," Percy groaned. "Now when I drive you home, your mom is going to wonder why you're drunk."
Nico shrugged. "With great drinks, comes a great nap. (A/N I know it switched it up a little…)." Nico leaned his head on Luke's lap. "Wake me up when someone starts drinking again."
"It's your turn moron!" Thalia shouted, swatting his leg.
Nico remained motionless. "You can…skip…me," Nico said before he passed out on Luke.
"MY TURN!" Jason shouted, enthusiastically. He hesitated, though. Clearly, he couldn't figure out what do. "Umm…um…oh, I know! You have to dress up as someone here, chosen randomly, and you have to make a video of them impersonating that particular person." Jason shoved his hand in the hat and picked a name. "Annabeth!"
Annabeth groaned. "Oh no."
"You get to the pick the name," Jason said, jiggling the Draw Hat in front of Annabeth.
She gently plucked a piece of paper. "THALIA!"
Thalia groaned. "Oh no."
"Wait!" Silena shouted, "Do I get to make Annabeth look like Thalia?" Now it was Annabeth's turn to groan. "Oh come on, Annie! Let's do it." Fifteen minutes later Annabeth looked just like Thalia. Although her hair was still blonde, Silena put it up in a way that matched Thalia's spiky hair. Thalia had some of her clothes at Luke's house, which stirred a lot of questions, and so Annabeth wore that. Silena also used Thalia's makeup, which was also here.
"My god," Annabeth said in the mirror. "I look like Thals."
"Which is creepy," Leo said, "Why is Thalia's clothes and makeup here?"
"I guess Silena is the only person that likes sleepovers," Beckendorf joked. He earned a hit from both Thalia and Silena. Of course, Silena kissed Beckendorf afterwards.
"Annabeth, we're waiting!" Travis said, the camera already rolling.
Annabeth groaned and she looked straight into the camera. "I'm Thalia Grace," she said in her most intimidating voice. "You mess with me and your friends I'll beat the life out of you and send to the wolves." Thalia face palmed. Luke just laughed. Speaking of Luke, Annabeth got the most ingenious idea. "Back in tenth grade, I was wimp and refused to ask the hottest guy in the tenth grade. Luke Castellan." That got a bunch more laughs from her friends. Behind Annabeth, she could literally hear Thalia fume. "I mean I've had a crush on forever but I was too soft to ask him but thanks to my amazing friend, Silena, we got to together. And now I'm happier than ever." Luke had to hold Thalia back. "But if any of you girls make one MOVE on my Lukie, you are dead."
"And cut!" Connor said, laughing.
"Lukie?!" Thalia shouted. "I don't call him Lukie and I haven't had a crush on him forever."
"Thanks Thalia!" Luke said.
Thalia turned to Luke. "Oh you know what I mean," she said.
"Whatever, whatever, whatever!" Clarisse interjected, a little impatiently. "Piper, it's your turn."
"Yay!" Piper screamed, over enthusiastically. Clarisse and Annabeth both rolled their eyes. "Okay you have to eat a bug."
"Ew!" Silena squealed.
Piper read off of the page. "Grover."
Grover sighed. "I knew it. Can't I do something else?"
"NO!" Nearly everyone except for Percy and Jason's friends said. It was a rule that you can't back out of a dare no matter what it is.
"Fine," Grover scowled. He went over to the sliding glass door and went outside. Grover leaned down on the ground and rummaged for a bug. Finally, he pulled out a huge and genuinely frightening beetle. Grover scowled again and then went inside. "Piper, I am so gonna get you for this." Grover took a deep breath and dangled the beetle up above his head. The insect squirmed, attempting to break free from Grover's tight grip. Annabeth covered her eyes, peaking through a crack in her fingers as she watched Grover drop the beetle in his mouth. Most of the girls groaned. Annabeth suppressed vomit while all the guys just broke out into laughter. Grover clutched his throat and punched his nose as he began to chew on the beetle. "Oh god," Grover said. Just by how green his voice was, you could tell right off the bat that Grover was about to throw up.
"Here!" Luke said, quickly. He slid out from underneath Nico, who was still out cold, and handed the Vodka bottle to Grover.
"Yeah, cuz alcohol is really going to help," Chris mumbled.
"Now he's definitely going to throw up," Clarisse added.
Grover ignored Chris and Clarisse. He grabbed the bottle of vodka and began to chug it. Annabeth's mouth dropped open as she watched Grover drink nearly a quarter of the bottle. Now, this was Grover's very first time having anything alcoholic and Annabeth knew that tomorrow was going to be one of the worst hangovers in Grover's lifetime. "Ahhhh," Grover croaked. He dropped the vodka bottle. The glass shattered and the contents spilled out all over Luke's carpet.
"Ah, man!" Luke cried out. He and Thalia grabbed towels and began to dab at the vodka. "If my dad smells this, he's going to KILL me."
"Your dad? You aren't even drinking. Think about Grover. His parents are going to murder him!" Juniper cried. She grabbed Grover, who was started to twirl and pulled him down to set next to her. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Just relax Juni," Beckendorf said, "I'm sure Grover will snap out of it."
"Snap out of it?!" Juniper shouted. "I'm gonna kill you Piper."
"What did I do?" Piper retaliated. "Luke gave Grover the vodka!"
Usually, Juniper isn't very scary but when she turned to glare at Luke, even Annabeth kind of wanted to cower down in fear. "Thanks Piper," Luke mumbled. He stared back at Juniper, who was still glaring at him. Then, Juniper stood up and began walking to Luke. "Shit!" Juniper grabbed Luke's collar and picked him up. "Um, Thalia!"
"You're on your own Lukie," Thalia replied, laughing.
Juniper pushed Luke up the stairs but before she followed she smiled at everyone. "We'll be quick." Then, Juniper and Luke disappeared.
"Does anybody else kind of want to see what Juniper is going to do to Luke?" Beckendorf asked.
"Nah. They'll be out pretty soon," Thalia replied. Didn't she care about her own boyfriend's safety…on their anniversary day? "Let's just keep going."
"We just lost four people: Grover, Nico, Luke and Juniper," Percy pointed out. "We should wait for them."
"Fine," Thalia groaned. So they waited for another five minutes or so until they heard a huge thump. Then, Luke tumbled down; Juniper following him, giving him 'nice' nudges down the staircase. Luke caught his footing and bounded toward Thalia, his eyes wide. His face was green. It kind of looked like Luke was going into shock. "Juniper, what did you do to him?"
"Oh nothing," Juniper said grinning. "Hey Luke, you should tell your dad that your garden has TONS of worms." That about gave it away. Judging by Luke's face, Annabeth knew that Juniper had given…no forced Luke to eat a worm.
Apparently, her friends were thinking the same thing. "EW!" Silena groaned, squeezing Beckendorf's hand.
"Nice going Tree Girl," Travis and Connor said together.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Grover and Nico are drunk. Luke had to eat a worm Whatever! Can we just get on with the game?" Leo complained.
"Fine," Thalia scoffed, pulling the beer bottle that Luke had gotten for himself away. "And no, you're not going to get drunk. Leo, it's your turn."
Leo hesitated, pondering his decision. "I got it! Someone has to eat my two day old burrito." Leo pulled out a smushed, bean covered, horrific looking thing from his pocket.
"You carry an old burrito in your pocket?" Thalia asked, disgustedly. "Do you know how unsanitary that is?"
"Yup. Just in case I get hungry," Leo said, grinning. "Usually, I replace it every day but I think I forgot. So let's see who's going to eat this." Leo dug his hand and pulled out a name. "Travis!"
All eyes went to the Travis, who in return, had turned bright red. "Oh no! No, no, no! I don't think someone as beautiful as I am shouldn't eat something so disgusting. Perhaps my brother, Connor, would be a good alternative. If looking for someone that'll make you laugh a lot I suggest Katie."
"Travis," she growled.
"Maybe not…," Travis mumbled. "Okay, how about Thalia? Nothing has happened to her so far."
"Oh, just give me that!" Katie shouted. Katie grabbed the burrito and charged after Travis. "You talk way too much!" She shouted as she shoved the burrito into Travis' mouth.
At first, Travis's facial expression was blank. Then, as he started to digest the food, everything went downhill from there. His face turned green. He began to shake and quiver. Luke offered up an open beer bottle. Before anybody to stop Travis, he grabbed the beer and took a big gulp. Then, Travis leaped outside and spit out the beer. He walked back inside. "Beer and two day old burrito don't exactly mix," Travis explained as he sat down beside his brother. Connor patted him on the back. "Thanks Katie," Travis said, "I'll get you back for that"
"Mmmhmm, sure you will," Katie responded, sarcastically. Travis sipped the beer that Luke had given him and glared at Katie, who just smirked at him. "Revenge is a bitch, Travis."
"Yeah, think about that Katie when we prank YOU."
"Wait, why do you have to drag me into this?" Connor groaned.
"Connor, shut up!" Travis and Katie said simultaneously, which just infuriated them even more. They glared at each other.
"Okay, let's move on," Thalia started. "Annabeth it's your turn."
"Finally!" Annabeth said. She thought for a second. There were a lot of different options for her. She could make someone prank call the principal. She could have two people make out, which is what Silena usually does. Of course, there was another idea that Annabeth has been dying to do. "You have to call up your worst enemy and gave them a little piece of your mind. If they pick up, you have to talk for at least a minute or until they hang up. And if it's a voicemail, make it thirty seconds."
"Ohh, Annabeth, good idea," Clarisse complimented.
"We should go around in a circle and say our worst enemies so that if the person that does get picked doesn't try and switch out," Annabeth said. "You guys all know who mine is: Rachel, of course."
"Travis," Katie mumbled.
"Katie," Travis shot back.
"Hera," Thalia said. Hera was Thalia's stepmother.
"The captain of our school's rival swim team," Percy added.
"This girl, Miranda, at my cosmetology class," Silena said.
"She's still giving you trouble?" Beckendorf asked. "If you need me to, I can always just…give her some extra persuasion."
"Nah," Silena said.
Annabeth's friends continued listing off their worst enemies until they all had finally finished. They turned anxiously to look at Annabeth. Even Annabeth's stomach twisted with anxiousness. She reached in, feeling the slips of paper. Annabeth dug around a little bit until she picked out a name. She opened it, hoping to see Travis or Katie's name, but when she read the name, her smile faded. Annabeth felt like she was about throw up.
"Annabeth? Who is it?" Katie asked.
"Wise Girl?" Percy said, concerned.
Annabeth looked up at her friends. "It's me."
OHHHHHHHHHHHH! Cliffhanger!
