Behind the Scenes at CHB: Chapter 9, Penny

Instructions

Penny was glad it was lunch, she was starving. She sat down next to a camper she had never seen before, who was sitting next to Mason. She then heard Mason say he had no activities that afternoon, which was a lie. So, she did the proper sisterly thing and told him “We have archery with the Apollo cabin at 1:30.” The look on his face was priceless. She then turned her attention to the strange camper, who she assumed was new and introduced herself. “Hi, you must be new here, because I’ve never seen you before, my name is Penelope, but you can call me Penny.” The girl paused for a moment before saying “My name is Amelia, its nice to meet you.” Penny then replied with, “I saw what happened with the shoe, don’t worry, you’re not the only one it’s happened to.” Kali shot her a glare, but she just ignored it and besides, she already decided to and did superglue Kali’s shoes to the roof. Her thought was interrupted by Amelia saying, “So what’s archery like? It sounds fun.” “Oh, it’s fun” Penny replied. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. Penny, Mason, and Amelia were sat under some trees, planning the best way to prank the Athena kids with some fake spiders. Though first, they had to explain to Amelia that the Athena kids hate spiders because of the Athena Arachne thing, and then they had to explain the Arachne myth. Amelia then asked, “What if the Athena kids catch us?” “Nah, they won’t, they’re too busy planning for capture the flag,” Mason replied. Penny’s friend and partner in crime, Milly, then joined them, then after another set of introductions, Milly suggested that they plant the spiders in the Athena cabin when the Athena kids went around to see who would join their team for capture the flag, and that usually included bargaining. Amelia asked what capture the flag was like, and before Mason could explain, Penny said “It’s camp-wide mock warfare” “Oh” Amelia replied. They then went to finalize the plan and put it in motion. Penny watched as Amelia put back on her shoes, stood up and began to walk, but she ended up tripping, as penny tied her shoelaces together. Penny started rolling on the floor with laughter, Millie joining her, while Amelia sat trying to untie her shoelaces and Mason sat there dumbfounded. Amelia was less then pleased and Penny got up and ran as fast as she could, while Amelia furiously chased her.
