PJO/HoO Around the Campfire

Paranoid? Nope

      As soon as Connor was out of earshot they sat down to think of what they should do next. "Hey Percy?" Annabeth asked hopefully, "I'm a little cold, do you think I could borrow your hoodie?"

    "Sure wise girl, just don't tell Connor, he would be a bit upset." He took the hoodie he said he would not give to Connor and gave it to Annabeth. While he was taking it off his shirt was caught so most of his stomach was exposed. Annabeth was having trouble not looking at his abs and Jason noticed.

    "Um, Annabeth? Care to join the conversation? It might not be as interesting as your boyfriend's abs, but you might like to have some input."

    Annabeth could feel the heat on her cheeks, she hoped it was masked by the heat of the fire but everyone knew that it was not. Annabeth was about to protest, but she knew she couldn't get out of this one. When Percy was handing her his hoodie he whispered something in her ear. That just made her blush even more, and Jason started laughing.

   "Okay," Annabeth started, hoping to get everyone's attention off that embarrassing moment. "What should we do now?"

    Jason smiled wide and looked directly at his girlfriend, "We could play truth or dare."

   "Or, have you guys ever heard of Paranoia?" Percy asked hopefully the group would think that was more intriguing than truth or dare. Although he might not admit it, he was a little bit scared of what would happen if they played truth or dare, especially if the stolls and annabeth were involved.

    "How do you play that?" Piper was also hoping they wouldn't play truth or dare, at least not yet.

    "Well, one person whispers something in another player's ear. It has to be a 'who do you think' question. Some examples would be, who do you think is the prettiest? Or, who do you think is most likely to have a kid first? Then the person who was asked the question says the answer out loud, it has to be someone playing. Then we flip a coin to see if you say what the question was or keep it a secret."

    "Well that sounds like fun, but it is eleven now, so I think we should play truth or dare first, and then we should play that." Percy knew Annabeth would see right through his plan.

    "Guys, did you already decide what the next game is, without me?"

    "Don't worry bro, we're playing truth or dare." Travis knew his brother was going to suggest that anyway.

    "Oh, good. I was going to suggest that. I even brought a bottle."

    "I'm not sure why you need a bottle but can we discuss this inside a cabin, some people are trying to sleep." Katie was really the only one that remembered there were campers sleeping.

    "Good idea, let's go to my cabin." When everyone agreed, Jason led the way to cabin number 1, Zeus' cabin.

    When the group was sitting in a somewhat round shape on the floor Travis explained what the botte was for, to Katie and anyone else who might not have known, but he was mostly looking at Katie.

    "There are different versions of truth or dare, I'm guessing since no one protested against the bottle we'll just play it this way?" When everyone agreed he continued to explain. "The person who starts spins the bottle, they ask whoever it lands on 'truth or dare'. After they answer and complete their turn we can either play where the person who was asked goes next or it goes in a circle."

    "I think we should play where it continues in the circle, so that everyone gets to go." Everybody agreed with Annabeth. "What transpires if you don't want to do the dare or answer the truth? But remember, this rule won't apply to Piper and Percy."

    "How about if you don't want to answer the truth you have to answer two the next time and you can't say no. If you don't want to do the dare, maybe you have to remove an article of clothing?" Jason phrased the last part as more of a question, everyone agreed to the rules so the game began.

    They were sitting in the same positions from before but this time it was Travis who started. He spun the bottle and it landed on Malcolm.

    "Truth or dare Malcolm?" The two boys weren't that close so he didn't really know what he was going to say.

    "I'll go with truth, I think." Malcolm was a bit nervous, he knew the stolls loved this game.

    "I remember you saying you kept a diary? What do you write about?"

    Malcolm visibly relaxed a bit, "I mostly write down ideas I have, I want to be a writer, so if I ever have good Ideas I'll write them down in my notebook. It's not really a diary, I wasn't sure if it counts though, some of my ideas are a bit personal but, um... yeah."

    "Okay, I guess I'll go then." Connor was hoping that he wrote secrets in his diary but he didn't let his slight disappointment show. "Travis, truth or dare?"

    "Dare, bring it on."

    "I dare you to steal something out of the camp store and give it to the first person you see." Travis left the cabin and Connor followed to see that he actually does it. The rest of the group just continued on with the game.

  "It's Malcolm again, should I respin?" Kayla didn't know what she would have said so she was glad when the group agreed that she should spin it again. "Will, truth or dare?" This was perfect, she knew her brother pretty well.

    "Dare." He wasn't that sure if he picked the right one, because Kayla knew who his crush was.

    "When the stolls get back, you have to tell them who your crush is."

    "Fine, but if they use this information, it's your fault." Piper and annabeth shared knowing glances but the rest of the group were just confused.

    "Well now it's my turn, hopefully it lands on you." Will smirked at his sister as he spun the bottle. Unfortunately it did not land on Kayla.

    "Annabeth, truth or dare?"

    "I'll go with dare."

    "I dare you to sit in Percy's lap until it's your turn." Percy wasn't complaining about the dare, just as Annabeth was sitting down Travis and Connor burst in, they were laughing about something.

    "Travis stole a camp t-shirt and then he saw Miranda gardner so he gave her the shirt and-"

    "I said, 'I found this outside' but she didn't believe me so she yelled at me but-"

     "She couldn't prove it was him so she just told him to leave."

    Will got up from where he was sitting, "That's a great story guys, but I need to talk to you, when you left we continued the game. I was dared to tell you something so can we just go outside for a moment?" They were barely given enough time to agree before Will was pulling them outside.
Once they were outside and the door was shut Will explained in a hushed tone. "Kayla dared me to tell you who my crush is, but you can't tell anyone okay?"

    "Yeah, okay." They spoke at the same time, they were both very interested in this information.

    "Alright, I have a crush on Nico, but don't make it obvious when we go back inside."
