AN: Hey guys! This is a new project I have started. Enjoy, no flames please. About RD, it's pretty much on hiatus. I'll think of it later.
Disclaimer: All belongs to Uncle Rick and To the Beautiful You (some of the plot).
Oh yeah, I modified some of the quotes inside the books.
"Hope is an Understatement"
PROLOGUE
Everything has changed since Piper McLean watched the Teen Olympics two hours and approximately thirty minutes ago. She was watching a boring game of high jumps, athletics, and some kind of a nice version of the Hunger Games, what do you call that? Ah, yes—paintball. Her eyebrows were scrunched up as she watched this game that has never been in the Olympics before.
Then she watched the football game.
"OLYMPUS! OLYMPUS!" people chanted the name of her country as 1, 2, no, 3… 11 players marched (or sashayed?) to the field. She read each names at the back of their jerseys. "Dakota, Stoll, another Stoll, di Angelo, Rodriguez, Zhang, Valdez, Beckendorf, Castellan, Grace, Jackson."
Without doubt, she was completely sure that this Grace guy is the quarterback or somewhat other cool positions (she only knew that position). To add the awesomeness, he is pretty hot. Even a girl that played down her ultimate beauty (thanks to her mother—the beauty part) like her admits that. How will it be to a whole bunch of lunatic fan girls out there in the world? She knew she had a crush at first sight on him.
Why not Jackson? He's way much hotter that Grace, she thought.
That's because she had this feeling that Jackson loves someone. She can see it from his beautiful and mesmerizing sea green orbs.
Time went by as Grace and Jackson worked together scored numerous touchdowns on probably every minute. Typical bromance. Yep, a brotherly romance so strong that they even won 48-0. And she didn't notice the scoreboard.
At the medal giving ceremony (she's not too sure what to call that ritual), the anthem of Olympus is played. After it is done…
That is when the "everything-has-changed-moment" happened.
The whole stadium exploded just as after Grace said his quote, after Jackson's famous "I'd rather protect my loved ones than the world" that she just remembered just now.
"This is my game. They are my responsibility."
