Soooo... New fanfic! I had this idea and I really wanted to do it so we'll see how it ends up and if I even finish it, haha. I'm thinking weekly updates?

obviously this is an AU, so the characters may be a little OOC.


"So, did you think that history test was hard?" Annabeth asked nonchalantly, brushing a stray blond curl out of her eyes. Piper shrugged.

"It definitely was not easy," she answered carefully. "But you know, history really isn't my thing."

"Didn't you say that about biology and math?" The first girl asked somewhat teasingly.

"I honestly don't really see the point in those subjects." Piper scoffed truthfully. "Or school in general."

"Seriously?" Annabeth said incredulously. "Don't you want to try for a good college and stuff?"

"We all know that you're gonna be valedictorian when the time comes," Piper told her friend. "Me, on the other hand, I'm perfectly fine with my grades as they are."

"You make a C minus average." The blonde goggled at her. "And don't you do any extra curricular activities or anything?"

"Ain't nobody got time for that!" Piper joked, but Annabeth didn't even smile. "Oh, come on, that one was great."

"Piper, you've really got to do something with your life. You can't just go ignoring your academic career forever."

"Says you," Piper scoffed. "I don't need to get my grades up or anything, I am completely fine."


"Piper, can I talk to you for a sec?" Her dad asked after dinner that night.

"Uh, sure?" She answered, fingering the mahogany braid draped onto her left shoulder. Piper turned around and took a seat back at the table, facing her dad. "What was it that you wanted to talk about?" She made her tone sweet, because her dad looked... Not angry, just... Sort of disappointed with her.

"I wanted to talk to you about your grades," Mr. McLean said seriously. "Specifically your math and history grades."

"I'll improve," Piper promised, wringing her hands nervously.

"No, that's what you say every time, and your grades haven't improved." Her dad said. "So, I found you a tutor."

"A tutor!" She almost yelled. "Dad, no!"

"I think it'll be good for you." He decided, completely ignoring her objections. "You're going to meet him in the library for an hour on Thursday after school."

"Thursday?" Piper asked, dismayed. "But I made plans with Hazel, we were going to-"

"Not my problem." Mr. McLean cut in, spreading his hands. "Make sure you're ready by then."

"This is so unfair," she huffed, fingering her dark braid once again. "How long will I have to meet with this tutor?"

"Until your grades are up to a at least a B plus." Her dad answered.

"And why couldn't we just have Annabeth tutor me?" Piper complained.

"Because I decided that it would be better to have this other tutor for you." Mr. McLean said, sounding slightly irritated. "And that is final."


"I have to get a tutor!" Piper complained. "A stupid tutor!"

"I told you that you should improve your grades," Annabeth replied nonchalantly. "Any idea who it is?"

"Well, dad made sure that it wasn't you." Piper sighed. "Chances are that it'll be some unattractive nerd kid from your nerd kid group."

"My nerd kid group?" Annabeth laughed. "You mean my AP study group? That group has some really nice kids."

"Yeah, whatever." Piper tugged on one of the two braids that she had decided to put in her hair this morning. "Thanks for putting up with my super long rant about tutors."

"My pleasure," Annabeth said sarcastically. "Now, I should go. I promised Percy I'd come and watch his swim practice." Percy was, of course, Annabeth's boyfriend, who happened to be on the swim team. Piper didn't know him very well, but Annabeth really liked him, so she guessed that he was a nice kid and all. She watched as her friend made her way off, her blonde ponytail swishing back and forth as she jogged towards the building.


Thursday afternoon rolled around faster than Piper would've liked. She'd been dreading the meeting with her tutor ever since she had been told about it on Monday evening. Piper entered the library slowly, attempting to stall. That is, until a blonde boy waved her over from one of the tables. Sighing inwardly, she walked over to the boy.

"Hi, I'm Jason." He greeted cheerfully. Piper still stood awkwardly next to the table he had already taken a seat at. "You must be Piper, right?"

"Uh, yeah, that's me." She shifted her weights rom one foot to another. The boy- Jason grabbed his backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out a really thick binder. Seriously, it looked like it weighed at least fifty pounds, but he lifted it easily. Jason had shortish, kind of shaggy blonde hair, startling blue eyes, and a tall, athletic build. Aside from glasses with thin, kind of gold frames, he did not meet Piper's expectations of the "nerd boy tutor". In fact, she was starting to wonder if this boy actually was her tutor.

"Well, take a seat." Jason gestured to an empty chair right across from his, and Piper grudgingly sat down. "So, um, your dad said you needed help in history and math, right?"

"Mmhm," she twirled a strand of dark hair around in her fingers idly.

"Alright, so we've got a history test in two weeks." He smiled. "And I think-" the two made eye contact for a second. "-you can ace it." Piper scoffed.

"The best I can hope for is like, a C."

"That's why I'm here, isn't it?" Jason once again grabbed his backpack and unzipped it, this time producing a history textbook. "I know that some of the best information in here for the test is from pages 244 to 263. I was thinking we'll just read that, we'll answer a few questions, and then maybe we can go from there?"

"Sure," She sighed, taking out a pencil and a sheet of paper.


Feedback? Constructive criticism?

Question of the chapter (inspired by my favorite person ever BeatriceMekarkHolmesEaton): which PJO/HOO character are you most like?

For me, I'd have to say Jason, maybe Annabeth. My friends all say Annabeth and Reyna, but I really see a lot of myself in Jason. Idk.
