Annabeth's Flashback


                          
THURSDAY
                          
Annabeth was leaving school with Barbara, when Jodi approached them.
                          
"Hi, Anniebell, good to see you"
                          
Annabeth answered, ignoring Barbara's look of surprise about the other girl's presence.
                          
"Hi. Jodi, this is Barbara, my friend. Barbara, this is Jodi"
                          
"I'm Peter's friend, nice to meet you"
                          
Barbaba's eyes went round, but she played cool.
                          
"Nice to meet you too"
                          
Jodi started walking with them, Annabeth in the middle.
                          
"So, what are your plans to Monday?"


                          
Monday? Do we have something scheduled?
                          
We finished all of our essays.
                          
We'll teach your brother on Tuesday.
                          
I don't know if we have something for Monday.


                          
"What about Monday?"
                          
"It's Halloween!"


                          
Do we have any plans?
                          
Not that I think of. Ask Barbara, maybe the other guys set up something while you were daydreaming about your boyfriend. And don't try to deny it.


                          
Annabeth looked to Barbara.
                          
"Do we have any plans?"
                          
"No that I know of"
                          
Jodi interjected.
                          
"So, what do you think about going to a party?"
                          
Barbara was surprised when Jodi looked at her with a questioning face.
                          
"Wait, me too?"
                          
"Sure, why not"
                          
"Whose party?"
                          
"I don't know"
                          
Barbara was suspicious at this.
                          
"How can you invite us to a party that you don't know who is hosting it?"
                          
"Simple, I know Jordan and Jay. Don't ask me why, they always find the most awesome parties, but will only reveal which one when we get there"
                          
Barbara was still hesitating.
                          
"This doesn't explain why you're inviting US"
                          
"Oh, sorry. It's because Peter and Annie are dating"
                          
"YOU'RE WHAT??"


                          
We should have told her...
                          
NOW you think of it!?


                          
"It's not really dating..."
                          
"Not REALLY dating? What are you, fake dating?"
                          
Jodi snapped her fingers in front of Barbara's eyes to attract her attention.
                          
"Actually, yes, and it was my plan. Let me explain it to you"


                          
***


                          
"This makes sense"
                          
"Now you can see why they need to be dating?"
                          
"Yes... I just need to ask you one thing, Annie. Are you SURE you want to face Sirena? That girl is not... nice in any way"
