Minor

Chapter 5

I forced myself up an hour after the doctor said not to get up until tomorrow morning, I walked it off, I'm fine. My group and I met in my room at about 3:00, four hours before the dance would start. We all sat around my room, on the empty beds, on the floor, and on my bed. "Your fight was by far the best one to watch, even though you didn't win," Sabrina said. Kimon laughed, "You can say that again, no one else could ever hold divine magic as long as you did, even though you passed out after," I shook my head and smirked, but didn't say anything. Alice looked up from the book she was reading, "Yeah, I've been studying Pure Hecate Magic my whole life, and I've never been able to hold for more than a minute," I raised my eyebrows and smirked again, "I guess I'm just that awesome," Draco snorted and rolled his eyes at my reply. "It's to bad we can't stick it to the Lympies at the dance," Raven said grumpily. We all grumbled when she said that, but it got me thinking. What if we did go to the dance? We technically were allowed to. "I know that look," Cedric interrupted my scheming, "You're planning something," I smiled, "Maybe," Semestra, Alice, Raven, and Sabrina smirked in unison. "Does this plan have something to do with the dance?" Kimon asked, his voice was full of interest. "I was thinking we take over the last dance," I admitted with my signature smirk. The dorky smiles on my friends' faces were priceless. "I'm guessing you have a plan?" Sabrina said, "We also need to know how you plan to know when the last dance is?" I laughed, "Man Sabrina, do you have any faith?" I asked, of course, I knew how I was going to do it. "I think we have an Olympian who might help us," Semestra cocked her head, "Do you mean Bella?" She asked. Kimon raised his eyebrows, "As in the Daughter of Aphrodite?" I nodded in response. Semestra stood up and shook off a couple of leaves that had grown in her hair since she got here, "Want me to go get her?" She proposed. I shrugged, "If you can find her," Semestra left, and the questions resumed. "How will we get in? The Lympies won't let us in willingly," Raven smiled, "I'm guessing that's where my Shadow Transport abilities come in?" I nodded, "Raven can get us in, Bella tells us when, and I can change the music to more our style," I explained to the group. "I'll spread the word to the Tier," Kimon offered, as he stood up and left the room with Cedric in tow. "Don't get too rowdy out there you two!" Draco yelled after them, earning some red faces from them, and laughs from the rest of us. "Oh this is going to be good," Bella laughed as she stepped into the room with Semestra. "So has Semestra filled you in?" Sabrina asked as she sized Bella up. "She has, and I'm in," Bella said excitedly and sat down. "So I'm telling you when the last dance is?" She asked, and we all nodded. "Ok, do you need someone to keep the teachers at bay?" Bella asked, catching us off guard, I didn't think of that. "I'll take that silence as a yes," Bella smirked gorgeously. "I have someone, she always is a fan of breaking down expectations," Bella suggested. "Who," Alice asked. "Kyna Sage," She answered. "As in Athena, Kyna Sage," Sabrina asked, "I did not take her for the rebellious type," Bella laughed at Sabrina's confusion, "Kyna is an interesting character, she has never technically broken a rule, but has made her way around the system multiple times," Bella flipped her hair behind her head when she finished. Semestra was practically drooling over the Daughter of Aphrodite. "Isn't Kyna the only Athena kid, who isn't blonde?" Draco asked. Bellas flicked a finger gun at him and said, "That's the one," Draco flushed at her impossibly not dorky finger gun. I snorted slightly at my brother, which earned me a glare from him. Kimon came after that, and announced, "The Tier knows and we have most of the Tier on board," Draco pointed at Kimon and Cedric's interlaced fingers, "Uh, boys?" They dropped each other's hands immediately. "Why hello, Lympy," Cedric growled at Bella. "Chill, bro, she's on our side," Alice put a hand on his shoulder. He simply narrowed his eyes unconvinced. Bella was unfazed, she was the daughter of a goddess of presentation. "Would you like me to text Kyna?" Bella asked as if Kimon and Cedric never walked in. I nodded, "Sure," Kimon sat down, "What does an Athena kid have to do with this plan?" Semestra answered, "She's keeping the teachers at bay," Kimon nodded in agreement, "Smart," Cedric spoke next, "We told the Teir to meet in the amphitheater for the dance and to meet at around 7:00," I gave him a thumbs-up. I flopped down on the bed, giving myself a spiking pain in my head. Wincing I threw my fist in the air, "Let's do this," We all cheered and split up into two groups. The boys headed probably to Kimon's room, and the girls stayed here. Bella jumped up excitedly, "What are we all going to wear!" Her voice was shrill with excitement. "Dude," I interrupted, "We have some time." Bella scoffed, "Have you seen my closet?" Her dorky smile returned as she continued, "And I have to be there before you do," She pointed at Raven, "You can make Shadow Portals right?" Bella asked. Raven nodded, "Do you need one?" Bella's nod was super enthusiastic, "Can you make one to my closet?" Sabrina, Alice, and I shared a confused glance with each other, as Semestra followed Bella's every movement. Raven stepped over and created a shadowy black mass that Bella stuck her head through. Alice and Sabrina moved over to sit on either side of me. Bella pried out a large pile of clothes. "Oh Gods," The comment escaped my lips before I could stop it. "Oh shush," Bella hushed us, "Look at all of this!" It looked like a rainbow had been turned into fabric and had the unlucky fate of landing in my bedroom. "You know the primary color of our Hecate fashion is black correct?" Alice asked. Bella scoffed sarcastically, "Not by the time I'm done," I flopped down on my bed, "Noooooo, please spare me!" I groaned. Semestra laughed loudly. "Now Semestra I want to do you first," Bella squealed as she selected every green dress in the pile. There was a dress with every. Single. Possible. Shade. Of green. Sabrina's expression was a mix of fear and surprise, "How?" Bella didn't reply, as she handed Semestra the pile of dresses. Semestra made her way to the bathroom as Bella began separating a new more diverse pile of dresses, who she was going to give it too she didn't tell. "Ok, um," Bella tapped her chin added one more dress to the pile, "Alice, here," She handed Alice the pile. "I'll just wait til Semestra's done," She said and sat back down with the pile on her lap. Semestra opened the door to the bathroom and stepped out, "I think I like this one," She did look amazing in it. It was a sleeveless dress with sparkling embroidery in the shapes of flowers and plants for the top and a simple dark green silk skirt that just brushed past her knees. The entire ensemble complimented her pale green skin and sap green colored hair. "Alright, Alice your turn," Semestra said as she exited the bathroom a second time in her normal school clothes. The process repeated again when Alice chose a short deep purple quarter sleeved dress with a gold sparkly ribbon around her waist. It hugged her petite frame nicely, she seemed uncomfortable about her legs arms and parts of her chest showing but she did look beautiful. Sabrina went in next as Bella compiled a new set of dresses, for me. "Do not," I said strongly. "Oh come on!" She made adorable puppy dog eyes, "Everyone else is doing it!" I grimaced. "Oh you're doing it Alyx," Sabrina smirked as she stepped out of the bathroom. Sabrina's dress looked like the night sky was wrapped around Sabrina's curvy frame. There were different folds and layers of fabric giving the sparkling dress an added elaborate effect to it. The blonde highlights in my sister's black hair stood out brightly. I glared at her, "Fine just give me the damn outfits!" I snatched the pile out Bella's hands and stuck my tongue out at Semestra, Alice, Sabrina, Raven and Bella all of which were smirking. I made the I'm Watching You motion with my fingers at Raven, "You're next," I growled. Raven's smirk grew larger. I stepped into my simple and boring bathroom. I pulled on dress after dress, each one was more flamboyant than the last. I groaned, "This is ridiculous!" I growled under my breath. Then I came across a simple short black dress with no sleeves and a high neck. Fishnet tights were wrapped around it and it all would have been put together nicely with my knee-high black boots and leather sigil covered jacket. I pulled it all on. The dress was fitted and made my rectangular frame look curvier, it brushed barely pass my knees. The tights would have fed into the boots if I had them on, and it was all tied together with my jacket. I cracked the door open slightly and growled, "You all are going to pay for this," My Irish accent decided to shine through then. Bella's smile when I stepped fully out was exceptionally dorky. "Badass," Raven smirked. I wrapped my arms around myself. "You look so good!" Bella squealed, her eyes were literally sparkling. I crinkled my nose, "I'm changing back," I growled as I shut the door behind me again. I looked into the mirror and drank the outfit in before I took it off. We were doing this, we were going to stick it to them.
