Hey guys! Here's your much deserved chapter!

Twelve (Luke):

"Don't you think it's a little too feminine? I mean, your suggesting that we play 'Would You Rather'." I tell my friend, Leo as Percy drives us to a club that Zach is directing him to.

"Fine," he sighs. "We'll play 'Truth or Dare' instead."

"Still kind of feminine," Nico replies.

"Well, you think of something then," Leo orders.

"No!" Nico exclaims. "I've got enough on my mind already!"

"Excuses," Leo says in a sing song voice.

"Leo," Jason says in a stern voice. "Don't test him. He's going through a lot right now."

"Whatever," Leo rolls his eyes. I don't know what, but something is definitely wrong with Nico. Someone mentioned something about him having a sister. I wonder if she's hot. I should ask him later. I guess now is not a good time.

"Let's just play 'Truth or Dare'," Percy suggests. "I mean, it's not like anyone will know. We're enclosed in a car."

"Finally!" Leo throws his hands up in the air. "Someone finally appreciates me!"

I give him a weird look before turning to Nico. "You go first."

"Uh… Jason, truth or dare?" he picks.

"Dare," Jason confirms.

Nico smirks wickedly. "I dare you to put your whole hand in the public toilet when we get to the club."

"But that's disgusting! People could've pooped in there!" Jason gags.

"Exactly," Nico laughs. "Now it's your turn."

"Uh… Leo," Jason decides. "Truth or dare?"

"Dare, duh."

"I dare you to go to the bathroom and change your clothes so that you're wearing them inside out." Jason says. "Oh, and you have to stay like that your whole club experience."

"Fine," he sighs. "But I'm not going to get anywhere dressed like a crazy person. Uh… Luke, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" I conclude.

"Hey guys," Zach starts. "No one has picked truth yet."

"That's because no one wants to look like a sissy," I tell him. "Now Leo, what's my dare?"

"Uh… I dare you to only eat salad for the next three days!"

"That's got to be the worst dare I've ever heard," I admit.

"Well, you're doing it," Leo crosses his arms.

"What about breakfast?" I question him.

"Only salad," he confirms.

"This sucks!" I exclaim. "I'll show you a real dare, Leo. Uh… Zach… Truth or dare?"

Zach gulps nervously. "…Dare, I guess…"

I smile evilly after thinking of a good dare. "I dare you to date Cassia and then dump her when she starts to like you."

"That's horrible!" Zach gasps. "That's just playing someone!"

"Exactly," I reply. "And you say all the time how you hate her…"

"But I don't want to hurt her like that! She'll kill me!"

"You have to do it," I tell him.

"I don't want to," Zach responds.

"Well, you have to."

"How about we do something else?" Jason suggests. I think he's trying to keep the peace.

"There's no need for that," Percy says as he pulls into a parking spot. "We're here."

Percy:

"Thalia is texting me like crazy," I tell my younger cousin.

"WHAT?" he screams over the loud blazing of the club music.

I repeat the same thing only louder.

"SPEAK UP, MAN! I CAN'T HERE YOU!"

"THALIA WON'T STOP TEXTING ME!" I shout at him.

He takes out his black IPhone and checks his notifications. "YEAH, ME TOO."

"Should we call to see what's up?" I say into his ear to avoid yelling. We just got here and I'm already straining my voice. And that's never good as a singer.

"Nah, she's probably fine." Nico responds. Yeah, probably. But you never know.

"Alright," I say. "Come with me," I start to walk to the door of the club before checking to see if Nico is following me. No doubt, he isn't. I run back, yank his arm up, and drag him outside.

"What was that for?" Nico asks me once we make it outside.

"This place, the constant partying… it isn't us." I reply as I sit down on a bench. "You know what I mean? We haven't been famous for that long and I don't want fame or this school to change us."

"But what about fitting in?" he questions me as he sits down next to me. "Don't you want these people to like you?"

"I want them to, but if they don't, there's nothing I can do about it. I just don't want to because one of those celebrities." I refer to our constant joke on how a lot of famous people completely change after becoming famous and would do anything to fit in, when in reality, their out casting themselves.

"Good point," Nico replies as he looks up to the dark night sky. "I don't care what these people think of me either. In a few months, we'll be out of here and we won't have to see any of these people again."

"There might be some people who I'd like to see again…" I inform him.

"You've got a crush." Nico smirks at me. "Who is it?"

"What?" I lie. "What makes you think that I have a crush on someone? I just met everyone today!"

"Come on, Percy. I know you better then you know yourself. You like someone. Who is it though?"

"No one."

"Is it… that Piper girl?"

"No," I shake my head.

"So you admit to liking someone," Nico says.

"What? I never said that!" I defend.

"But when I asked you if it was Piper, you said no, which implies that you like someone else." Nico concludes.

"I don't like anyone right now, and that includes you." I snap.

"Feisty," he replies. "Well, I was just trying to help…"

"Annabeth," I admit in defeat. "I like Annabeth."

"Hah!" he laughs. "I can read you so easily! Oh, and remember, don't move to fast."

"What?" I cock my head at him.

"Whenever you're in a relationship, you always move way to fast and end up getting heart broken."

"I promise I won't." I assure him. "I don't even know her. And doesn't that happen to you more than it happens to me?"

"Maybe," he blushes.

"GUYS!" a voice I easily reccogize shouts from the door of the club.

"Hey Jason," I smile.

"This is no time for smiling," he tells me. "Percy, have you had anything to drink?"

"No…" I answer.

"We've got to get back to the school. Now." He demands.

"What happened?" Nico questions him.

"HEY LOOK! IT'S 2/3 OF THE SIRENS!" someone from a distance shouts. In about three seconds, a crowd of at least a hundred people with large cameras surrounds us and instantly starts taking pictures.

"What happened?" Nico repeats himself, more sternly this time.

"It's Thalia…" Jason says. "Something bad happened."

"What happened?" Nico says once again, his hand flying towards his head.

"I don't know. Ariella called Zach to tell him and Zach told me. We've got to go now."

I lead the way through the thick mass of people and finally find the car. Nico, Jason, and I hop in it, without even thinking of the others. We need to get home fast, or this is going to be another Bianca situation.

Sorry about the cliff hanger! You'll probably find out what happened to Thalia tomorrow or the next day! Tell me what you think happened in a review!
