I was getting slightly sick of my room.

I mean, it was wonderful and everything, but having Aphrodite as a mother, i'd pretty much say she lived up to her reputation.

Just like the others, one of my walls was a complete wall of glass. The others were a light shade of pink. My bed was large and circular, with a white heart-shaped headboard, and a golden coloured bed cover. I had my own dressing table, with the lights around the mirror like celebs have, complete with makeup, perfume, and hair stuff.

And that was just the tip of the iceberg.

I had an on-suite bathroom which was pristine clean and a walk-in wardrobe bigger than the bathroom. The clothes were ranging from winter parkas to bikini tops.

I was gob smacked, shocked and happy rolled into one.

Using an empty cupboard, I shoved the majority of makeup and beauty products into a bin bag, then into the cupboard. Then I put photos of my dad, me, Jason and Leo, and me and Annabeth last summer. Annabeth and I had become best friends as time went on. We'd grown on each other - the Athena child and the Aphrodite kid.

I'd been told it was like another friendship, between an Ares camper and another Aphrodite kid. Silena and Clarisse. But everyone knew that it was a touchy subject for Clarisse.

Lying in my grand bed last night was difficult.

It made me think of my dad in his rich house (he's the one and only Tristan McLean, movie star), and what he may be doing now. How he might be feeling.

⠀"Piper!" Leo called from outside my door.

⠀"Yes?"

⠀"Get ready for the party now, just warning you now cause I know how you Aphrodite girls are at parties." He joked.

⠀"Ha ha, Leo." I said sarcastically, he knew I wasn't like that.

I opened my walk-in wardrobe and scanned the rails of clothes for something my taste. I came across a pair of skinny denim jeans, with faded knees and a few tears. Perfect.

Just above the jeans was a slim-fitting strap top, and a baggy, woolly grey jumper to put over the top. to no surprise, they fitted perfectly. The jumper hung off my shoulder loosely, and the jeans weren't too tight.

I found a black pair of converse, and i plaited a white feather into a braid in my hair.

Nothing too fancy, or too casual. The makeup i'd stuffed in a closet was slighlty tempting. But why would i need it? I have a boyfriend, no one will care. Just Aphrodite messing with my head.

⠀"And you're sure it's not a proper, posh party?" I asked Annabeth. We were in my bedroom, sorting through my wardrobe.

⠀"I'm sure, Perce. It's just a house party."

I sighed with relief. "I thought i was going to have to wear a suit!" Annabeth laughed and picked up a top.

⠀"This dark green one would look great. I mean, i'm not a child of Aphrodite, but i have some fashion sense." She suggested.

⠀"Looks great." I said, letting Annabeth sort it out.

⠀"And these jeans, those sneakers, and... that jacket. There! Done. That wasn't so hard now was it?"

I stared at the pile of clothes.

⠀"Go on then, get dressed! I'll go out." Annabeth prompted.

⠀"What are you wearing?" I asked.

⠀"Oh, you'll see." She winked and left the room.

This was going to be practically my first house party. We'd had a few at Camp Half Blood, but this was with mortals! I slipped on the clothes (Which thanks to the Gods, fitted perfectly) and washed my face again.

I wondered what everyone else was wearing. Probably not good to look too posh at your first party, or too casual. Piper always finds the right clothes for the right occasions, she probably inherited it from her mom. What would Clarisse wear? I shuddered at the thought.

Nico would probably just wear something black, and everyone would label him 'the Goth kid' or 'the Emo kid', or something stereo typical and dumb like that. 

I put my shoes on and opened the door. 

⠀"Annabeth?" 

Leo came out of his room, wearing a plain white shirt under a pair of brown braces, and his usual tool belt. "Dude, she has already left. Just a few minutes ago." 

⠀"What?" 

⠀"Yeah, all the girls left first. Argus will be back in a few minutes to drop us off. They wanted to go alone and meet us there." He explained. 

⠀"Right. So where's Jason and Nico?" I asked.

⠀"Here!" Said Jason, emerging from his room.

⠀"Okay, so now we wait for Argus. He should be back soon. According to the party flyers given out, the party isn't too far from here." Leo said.

afterword: 

So tell me what you thought! 

i am so sorry i didn't do the party this scene but i had writers block,

so this chapter WAS NOT GREAT and what helps me is to start afresh, e.g. new chapter :)
