The video rattles from the vibration I made when raising the bones and jewels for my promposal. I see my face get bright red, which was something I didn't feel so much when it was happening. This time around, Will looks happier than I'd interpreted at the time. In that moment, I was so afraid, I suppose, I made everything worse than it actually was.
"We won." Will whispers excitedly in my ear. "Let's go up there."
"Okay." I whisper.
We grab hands and walk up to the make-shift stage. The Aphrodite girl is beaming. I think this camp has an obsession with us being together. Oh well.
"How do you feel?" The girl asks us
"Uh, surprised." I tell her, trying to ignore the fear I feel again with the bright lights glaring down on us.
"Why? You guys are adorable!" She shouts into the microphone, causing nearly the entire camp to cheer.
I look at Will, trying to mentally tell him to say something. Why was that not a power of Hades? Will nods, I guess he understood what I wanted.
"Well, okay then." He says, half blushing, half profusely blushing
The Aphrodite girl starts to speak again, but is cut off by an angry Jason storming onto the stage.
"Out of all the promposals, THEY won? Death Breath and Sunshine boy? Are you kidding me? They're never going to last."
Suddenly, a rush of rage washes over me. "Seriously?" I say "Go back to your girlfriend."
"We broke up." He tells me sternly.
"Really? So that brick I saw you making out with this morning isn't your girlfriend?" I ask, suddenly feeling an evil spark "Or is it your boyfriend?"
"I am not dating a brick," Jason says, "Although a brick and I would still make a better couple than you two."
"The only reason you're not dating that brick is because not even a brick would go out with you," Will says, joining in against his friend.
"I will make you two regret ever dating. Oh, and Death Breath? I will make you regret ever getting anywhere near my friends," Jason, replies, eyes wild, and pointing at the rest of the seven and Will one by one. With that, he walks off-stage and runs out the doors.
"Well," The Aphrodite girl says again, "That was eventful. Now for your prize, you get to spend a week together in a secluded cabin in the woods. The only restriction: No doing the frickle frackle. Got it?
"Yes." Will says beaming, and chuckling at the same time.
"Your trip begins now." She says and streamers and confetti fall through the air.
"This doesn't seem like a camp for a prom and prize like this." I whisper to Will, "How did anyone convince Chiron to let this slide?"
"Well, the prom has been instated for years, since before any of us came to camp, I believe. The trip is new this year. I knew you were gonna win, so I begged Chiron. He was concerned at first. If he did it this year, he has to do it every year from now. His biggest fear being someone getting pregnant. I promised him we wouldn't do any of that stuff and that even if we did, no one could possibly get pregnant, being that we are both male, and that he'd have at least a year to devise a plan to stop and pregnancies from happening in the future, and he agreed." He whispered back.
"Wow, you sneaky boy. I thought it was the Stolls' job to be mischevious," I tell him, "Good job."
"Anything to get to spend more time with you," he says.
