Pranks?

Kelsey's POV:

"Will you STOP IT?!" I yelled at Philip, he suddenly discovered that his new past time was to drop by the Demeter cabin, killing all the flowers… that we've got left, anyways. Even though it's winter, and my least favorite time of the year, my siblings and me were determined to keep at least some of our flowers and poison ivies alive. You never know when there's going to be an attack.

Of course, keeping all these plants alive has been quite the trouble since certain son of Hades keeps on killing them… in case it's not obvious enough, I'm not talking about Nico, he already learned his lesson.

Philip chuckled, running a hand through his black hair, "Kelsey," he reminded me of one of those cliché bad boy characters from a cheesy movie, "You must learn that these plants are not made to survive winter. You're only hurting them by doing this. This cold weather wasn't made for them." He said.

I was so angry, that the idea of throwing spikes at him seemed fair. I was preparing myself when he started talking again, "However," he said, "I will stop if you help me on something."

I blinked, my eyes opened wide. A son of Hades, the person I most hated on camp, my worst enemy… asking me a favor? This is a chance I cannot miss.

"Wha-what do you want?" I stuttered, I had no idea what he wanted me to do and I was slightly scared because he has a… a criminal reputation outside of camp.

"Relax," he said, reading my face while I slapped myself mentally, "It's not something dangerous. I need you to help me get revenge on the Aphrodite cabin."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. Just revenge on a cabin, this is typical camp stuff… nothing to worry about… right?

He laughed at me, for being afraid, I think. "Well, I can always not help you, you know?" I glared at him, "Or I can tell Chiron, that way you'll have cleaning duties for the next week… again"

His expression softened, "N-no! Sorry, and… don't tell Chiron, ok? I have enough problems already." He said, his expression getting darker with every word.

"What were you planning on?" I said quietly, messing with my braided hair.

"You know, the usual, throw away their make-up and replace it with… un-Aphrodite-like things." He smirked; I smirked back and said "Things like what? Worms?"

He gave a stifled laugh, and I actually smiled.

He took out his hand and I absent-mindedly took it while he led me behind the Aphrodite cabin, "Wait here while I get the worms," he said.

"Why? You think that I'm too girly to handle worms?" I slightly laughed, "I've been dealing with plants since before I could walk, of course I know how to deal with worms… even better than you, I bet." I challenged him.

Philip chuckled, and gave me a true amused smile when he realized he was suddenly acting sort of… out of character, as some of my mortal friends would say. He cleared his throat and returned to his moody, dark expression. "Anyways, let's get going, the have Archery now and then Sword-fighting." He said, avoiding my eyes.

I rolled my eyes, and… wait.

Could it be that I'm… no, it's not possible.

The thought's even ridiculous, now that I think about it.

How could someone like me be having a good time with someone like him? It's not possible, right?

"…Is that okay with you?" I heard him say,

"Huh? What? You said something? Oh, um, sorry, I didn't pay attention. Lost in thought, I guess." I said, giving him a shy smile.

"Never mind," He frowned, leaving me on the spot. I noticed he had no intention of coming back or telling me whatever he was saying earlier, so I followed him silently.

We walked silently for about three minutes and suddenly he took something out of his pocket and ate it, and I began getting nervous, does he do drogues? Oh God, he's probably luring me in to a trap, or maybe he wa- "Relax, they're only sugar cubes."

I relaxed and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding, "We probably won't find any worms here. Mr. D let it snow this year and they've probably gone… I don't know, into hiding maybe."

"You're… right" He said as his head shot up, turned around, with the face of a hyped-up kid, "The-only-place-we'll-find-the-worms-is-in-your-cabin-on-the-plant's-dirt-since-you-guys-have-been-so-apathetic-to-let-your-plants-so-the-worms-will-probably-still-be-there-alive-and-healthy-YES-this-prank-is-gonna-turn-out-perfect-that's-why-I-requested-your-help-now-that-I-remember-" He started but I interrupted him,

"Whoa, dude, wait a minute. Exactly how many sugar cubes did you eat because suddenly, you're all hyped up and I can't understand a thing you're saying," I said, trying to calm him down, but there was so much energy in him it seemed almost impossible.

I sighed, "What were you saying again?"

"Well," He took a deep breath and I feared he might start to speak fast again, "I remember why I requested for yourself, your cabin's plant's dirt must be rejoicing with worms that we can use for the prank,"

"Wait, all you said earlier could be resumed into that one sentence?" I said, but gaining no answer as he returned back to cabin.

I got self-conscious all of a sudden, what would the other campers think if I came out of the woods with Philip. "W-wait!" I called him, causing him to turn his back, "What will others think if they see me coming out of the forest with you?"

He turned around and shrugged, with an I-don't-care face. I silently followed him and looked down so that no one would notice it was I coming out of the forest with Philip. I'd never feel more embarrassed in my life, people would make rumors up and… and…

Nope, nein, no, this is not going to happen. I walked slowly walked away from Philip and tried to find another exit out of the forest, so that people wouldn't start thinking… things with their dirty minds.

After about five minutes, I got out of the forest and I walked toward my cabin, where I saw Philip sitting nearby. I immediately felt guilty. "Where have you been?" he said, I knew he would get mad at me if I told him that I was embarrassed of him, but then again, we're enemies, right? I shouldn't care.

"Never mind about that, we should get going before we lose any more time." I shrugged it off.

We silently collected the worms and put them in a can (which I took from my cabin), until we felt we had enough.

"I think we have enough, what do you think?" he said, quietly. I only nodded and followed him to the Aphrodite cabin. We sneaked in quietly making sure nobody saw us and started searching for the make up bags.

I was adding the final touches to Drew's (I think) bag when "Kelsey!" Philip whispered to me, pointing to the window. The Aphrodite kids where nearing the cabin, but luckily they weren't looking at it so they didn't know we where here.

"Come on, let's hide in the closets," he said to me. He grabbed my hand and led me to a closet full of thick coats, covering us so that they didn't see us if they opened it.

"Guys, I'm gonna hang out here for a while, I think my leg is numb so… um, Riley could you the cabin to the climbing wall? I'll catch up later," Said Piper, "And Drew, make sure the little kids don't get hurt with the lava."

I didn't hear them say anything so I guess they just nodded. I heard footsteps, so I guessed they were finally leaving.

"Oh, wait, let me get my other coat." Said a girl, walking towards the closet we where hiding. I heard her steps getting closer and I took a coat and covered myself with it.

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit." I heard Philip mutter, but I uncovered my head and glared at him so that he shut up.

The closet doors opened and I could feel the girl searching through the coats. Oh gods, please, please don't let the one covering me be hers. I was too busy praying to the gods that we wouldn't get caught that I didn't notice the girl taking her coat and leaving.

"You can come out now," I heard someone saying. It was Piper, I decided, since she chose to stay in the cabin for a while.

I looked at Philip, and he looked back at me, his eyes saying the same thing What do we do now? We stared at each other for at least five seconds when Piper opened the closet doors.

"So, what exactly where you doing?" She said after opening the closet doors and taking the coat off of me.

"Um," I started, "We… were, um, hanging around on your cabin…?" I lied, smiling nervously.

She shrugged it off, "I already noticed that, what exactly were you doing here? I'm not letting you leave until you tell me." She was still pretty calm and was still acting nicely, which was good because if it were Drew, we'd be in Chiron's office already.

"Well…" Philip said, but he's not one with words so he looked at me telling me to continue.

"Philip and I were… um, my… my lucky coin slipped into the cabin," I started, "and I was already hanging out with Philip here, so we decided to go into your cabin… when… I…" I looked around and saw a few shirts and socks lying on the ground, "slipped with a sock, you know that sometimes those things can be very slippery," she nodded "and then I found my lucky coin and suddenly you were all back and we hid in the closet until you found us." I lied.

"O-kay, and this 'special coin', where is it?" Piper said,

I put my hand on my pocket and it was my lucky day, my actual lucky golden coin was there. I took it out and showed it to her.

She looked at us suspiciously and then sighed, "Okay, I don't totally believe your story but I'm going to let you go for today just don't let anything like this happen again, yeah?" She said, opening the door of the cabin for us.

We left the cabin pretty shocked on what happened, and how we almost got caught. I was thanking the gods that my lucky coin was there in my pocket.

I was about to say goodbye to Philip when I slipped with a piece of ice (has it really been that cold?) and… I fell on my face. Truth to be told, I was half-expecting Philip to catch me, but when I looked up he was smirking looking gloomy as always.

I glared at him and picked myself, and then I decided to sit by a tree nearby. Philip silently imitated me and kept looking to the ground.

"Hey," he said, "You're not a total goody-two-shoes," I blushed and frowned while he silently chuckled, "You could get better at lying, you're no expert that's for sure."

I was standing up, about to say goodbye to Philip when he pulled me by hand so that I was back in the ground. He smirked and I looked up and saw what I half-expected to see: mistletoe. I mean, why not? Why not make Kelsey have to kiss the guy she hates the most. Ugh!

"Don't. You. Dare." I gritted through my teeth. Even though I had a good day with this guy, it doesn't give him any authorization to try to kiss me!

He gave a shy smirk and then he did it. He kissed me on the lips. That… that bastard!

I didn't think twice before I punched him in the face and said "Don't you dare do that again!"

He was sort of shocked that I could punch so hard, but I simply walked away, straight to my cabin and I think I saw him stand up about a minute later and going to the infirmary.

I sighed and decided that maybe sons of Hades can't be that bad… can they?

So, chapter... I-forgot-which-chapter-this-one-is-I-just-keep-on-writing-and-upload-them-according-to-the-table-of-contents? is done. And uploaded. And it's the day after I uploaded Love Is Our Weapon. I'M BACK ON TRACK, HECK YEAH! Okay, no. I'm not, I know I'm not updating tomorrow, I don't even know what I'm supposed to write next until I check the table of contents, yup. So, as stated in the previous chapter, this was a Kelsey/Philip chapter, from Kelsey's point of view. I liked writing from her POV a lot, in fact, I loved it. I'm no quite convinced with the ending, though, but I have no idea what else to write. Well, I had another idea but it would be weird because Philip would've been all bad-boy-with-reckless-personality-not-shy-at-all and he's more of a mess-with-me-and-i'll-hurt-you-I'm-a-shy-person bad boy attitude. Yeah, so, did you like it? It is longer, as I promised.

Oh, and did any of you go to Warped Tour? I wanted to go so badly because PIERCE THE VEIL ALL TIME LOW WE ARE THE IN CROWD THE USED OF MICE AND MAN WE THE KINGS MAYDAY PARADE YOU ME AT SIX SLEEPING WITH SIRENS, but I couldn't. And it sucks because I was in the States (Rochester) for until July 17th and there was date on Buffalo. Yup. Oh well.

So, goodbye until the next entry,

Piper-Weaslry
