Chapter 10
I got a nice girl called Emma to help me with my outfit for the ball. She was a child of Aphrodite so she had really good taste. Kirsten and Rhianna helped me with my hair so I helped them with their dresses. Ruby wasn't really one for wearing dresses but even she made an effort. I even managed to persuade her to wear lip gloss! Of course, Tamsin went the whole hog. Goth style. She chose a long black dress with a black lace shawl and black fish net tights and gloves with skull rings and a bleeding heart necklace.
"Do you have to wear that? It's kind of gross." I said.
"It's cool!" Tamsin replied indignantly. Carmen wore a medium length multicoloured dress. On anyone else it might have looked hippy-ish but Kirsten pulled it off just right. Anya was wearing a long sea green dress decorated with white swirls so when she walked it looked like waves.
We all got a limo to New York which was awesome. Olympus is hidden at the top of the Empire State Building so we hopped out on 5th Avenue and walked across the street.
"So far, so good." said Anya, looking around.
"Huh?" Carmen said.
"No monsters." Tamsin smiled.
"Yet." said Ruby with a grim expression.
"Lighten up Ruby!" I said. "It's party time!" Then we got out of the lift at the secret top floor.
Olympus was amazing, white columns lined the walls and the whole place seemed to be bathed in a golden glow. It was decked out with fancy curtains and party gear.
"Finally!" Anya yelled. "Food!" she ran over to the stone tables covered with food and drink. I noticed a boy with auburn hair walk up to Tamsin and ask her to dance. She swished away with him, dancing in time to the boring-sounding classical music playing from somewhere. To my right there was a white stage set up with amplifiers and microphones.
"I wonder whose performing." Ruby said looking at the stage.
"No idea." I replied as Theo walked over looking dashing in a black shirt and dark denim jeans.
"May I have this dance?" he grinned.
"Sure." I smiled, glancing at Ruby who was dancing with a son of Ares and Anya who was dancing with a son of Demeter.
Theo bowed, I curtsied, and then we were off.
Theo's POV
Kalina looked stunning. She was wearing a white dress clinched with a golden belt at the waist, the dress seemed to emphasise every curve instead of hiding them. Apollo and Aphrodite came dancing towards us.
"Hey dad." Kalina said, smiling at him. She looked quite a lot like him, same hair, same nose, and the same slightly amused expression. But his eyes were yellow and Kali's are green.
"Hi there!" he said, smiling at us.
"Hello son." My mum winked at me then glanced at Kalina. "Have fun!" They danced away.
Kalina looked bemused, "What was that about?"
"You don't want to know." I smiled, "it's awkward."
"Ok." I said, smiling as he spun me around. "Oh look!"
Apollo had stood up, he clinked his sunglasses against a glass and the music stopped. Everyone stopped dancing and turned round.
"I would like to welcome to the stage, All Time Low! These boys are sons of mine and have kindly agreed to perform for us tonight!"
We all cheered and clapped, especially Kalina. The band started to play a rocky song and lights started flashing and it got darker. In about ten seconds the place seemed to turn into a nightclub. Everybody was jumping up and down and dancing.
Kalina nudged a daughter of Aphrodite and said, "Harry Potter moment!"
"What's Harry Potter?" she replied looking confused.
"Uh, never mind."
The band played a couple more fast songs and then the lead singer, Alex Gaskarth, came up to the microphone and said, "Ok guys, now we're gonna play a nice slow song to get all you guys and girls in the mood."
About 50 people went, "Oooooh!" at once. Kalina smiled at me and put her arms around my neck. I put my arms around her waist and we danced slowly. We looked into each others' eyes as we danced.
Kalina's POV
"Kali," Theo said, "I've been thinking.
I looked up at him, blinking her bright green eyes.
"What with all the rumours flying around about us… you know."
"Yeah." I sighed.
"Your friends probably still think I'm a total pervert."
I laughed, "Yeah, they kind of do."
"So I think we should take a break for a while. Until things calm down."
"Ok."
"And when all this is over…" Theo leaned forward and kissed my neck softly. When the song finished I wandered off in a daze to try and find my room.
"Six Feet under the Stars"
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Finger prints sold me out
But our footprints wash away
From the docks downtown
And it's been getting late for days
And I think myself deserving of
A little time off,
We can kick it here for hours and
Just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell
Pass me another bottle honey, the Jaeger's so sweet
But if it keeps you around, then I'm down
Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit
South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
I should have known better than to call you out
[on a night like this, a night like this]
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground
[but I'm alright like this, alright like this]
I'm gonna roll the dice before you sober up and get gone
[I'm always in over my head]
Thames Street
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit
South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
Time to lay claim to the evidence
Finger prints sold me out
But our foot prints washed away
I'm guilty but I'm safe for one more day
Overdressed and underage
[what a let down]
Do you really need to see an ID?
This is embarrassing as hell
[What a let down]
But I can cover for it so well
When we're six feet under the stars
Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out, though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce but I'm warm enough
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit
South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself,
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
[Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh]
Six feet under the stars
[Whoa oh, whoa oh oh oh]
Six feet under the stars
Individual rooms had been made for everyone. Each room had a TV, a fountain for Iris messages, an en-suite bathroom and a laptop. I got changed into my pyjamas and got into bed. As I leaned over to turn off the light, Theo's drawing caught my eye. I picked it up and turned it over.
"Love from Theo Rampard xxx. Yeah right. He doesn't love me at all."
Hey guys. Some people are angry that I killed the character Lucas off. How can you like him so much? He was only in like 2 chapters and Theo has been in loads. Also, some people have been saying that Theo is a pedophile, a pervert, a rapist and other things. It's my story and I will write it the way I want and if you don't like it then tough.
Thanks for your reviews but please be more mature.
