UnDefined [Book 1.5]

We Party All Night Long

The final chapter for this novella!  I can’t believe it!  I don’t think I’ve ever written such a quick story haha since I received four reviews total between fanfiction and wattpad, I’ll let it slide for updating this chapter quickly.

Chapter Quote:

*going through the ride in a dark tunnel-y thing*

Percy: It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all.

Annabeth *now joining percy in soft creepy singing* : it's a small world after all-

Clarisse: Will you two shut up?!

~Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Clarisse La Rue in Sea of Monsters movie

Chapter 10: We Party All Night Long

Silena 

Bryn and Silena carried two coolers from the Jackson’s car to the sandy beach awaiting them.  Luke and Derek were out getting packs and packs of soda, tons of packages of hot dog buns and hot dogs, hamburger meat and buns.  The boys said they were going to buy other junk food items as well.  What was all the food and drink for you might ask?

Luke, Derek, and Bryn’s graduation party.  They’d just graduated about a week ago.

As the two girls set down the coolers on the group’s designated spot on the beach, Silena queried hesitantly, “Bryn?  May I ask you something?”

The daughter of Zeus looked up with concern, hearing the uncharacteristically worried tone of the granddaughter of Poseidon and Athena. “Always.  What’s wrong?”

“Has Derek said anything to you lately?”

“About what?”

“He’s just been… acting different lately.  I asked him about it, but he told me everything was fine.  I’m related to the freaking goddess of wisdom, I know when something’s bothering him, and I’m worried it’s something to do with me or that I’ve done something wrong and he’s going to break up with me and-” Silena suddenly ranted.  She’d been holding that last thought in for too long, but she’d been too afraid to bring it up to anyone, including her two closest friends and her boyfriend.

“Silena!” Bryn shouted, interrupting Silena’s rant.  Silena looked up sheepishly, apologizing with her eyes. “If Derek had any intentions about breaking up with you, I would most certainly know about that.  I’m related to Aphrodite.  I can see that type of stuff.  Believe me, that is not the case.” Bryn sighed and hung her head. “But I know what you’re talking about.  I’ve noticed him changing too.  He’s quieter, more pensive.  I would’ve asked him about it, but I figured you would’ve asked him or he would’ve told you already.”

“I tried and failed miserably.  Sometimes I think there are things he feels more comfortable talking to you about than me since he’s known you longer.”

“And sometimes he feels more comfortable talking to you about others.  It’s like you coming to me about him instead of going to Luke.  We feel better telling different things to different people.  I’ll talk to him tonight, see what’s going on,” Bryn promised.

“You’re the best, Bryn,” Silena said sincerely, giving her friend a smile.

She snorted. “I wish I was the best.  Anyways, let’s get the remaining stuff set up.  Your dad and Derek’s dad will be here soon with the grills for the food.”
