"Look, babe, I like you. I really do, but, you and me? We aren't fit for each other. Our paths in life are just too different," said the infamous Goode basketball player Jason Grace as he broke up with his 30th girlfriend since the beginning of the junior year.

When junior year began, he and Percy Jackson, another top basketball player, started a game to see who could break more girls' hearts. The rules were simple: no dating the other competitor's dumpee, no cheating, if the girl dumps you it doesn't count, and no falling in love. With both of their track records, they both knew it would be hard to fall in love.

Jason was breaking up with Drew Tanaka, the queen of the junior year girls. Percy was still dating his 27th girl, Annabeth Chase. Jason was pretty sure Percy I'll-never-fall-in-love Jackson was falling for her. Jason was in the lead with only one more girl left, Reyna Ramirez. He had winning in the bag.

"But, Jase! I thought we REALLY had something?!" She said as she let her hand rest on his chest, batting her eyelashes, hoping to get him to change his mind. He bit his lip while thinking how good in bed Drew was and that one more night with her wouldn't be so bad, but he shook his head. He knew that if he were going to win the game, he would need to win Reyna's heart.

"I'm sorry, Drew," he began, "But at least we'll still have last night."

She looked down as she blushed and then asked slyly, "At least let me have a goodbye kiss?"

He nodded thinking, what could go wrong with a goodbye kiss?

She raised herself up on her tip toes and started to kiss him hungrily, her tongue exploring the roof of his mouth. Jason pushed her back to the lockers, and gripped her sides, as they started to make out.

They finished and Jason said, "Bye Drew." A smirk was plastered on his face.

She gave him a sly smile and waved her hand lightly. She answered, "If you need anything, sweetie, don't hesitate to give me a call," she winked at him and walked away, hips swaying.

From behind, Jason could hear someone whistled and clapped slowly. He turned around and saw the Leo Valdez, his best friend and star point guard of the Goode Warriors.

Jason rolled his eyes as Leo said, "That was some goodbye kiss, Grace. You think I could get one from you too?"

Jason smiled widely and answered back, "Sure, boo! Pucker up!"

Just as they were about to pretend kiss, Percy jumped in and pushed Leo to the ground. "Don't you DARE mess with my boyfriend, Valdez!" he said violently. Percy got up, smiling triumphantly and left Leo laying there.

Jason rolled his eyes and helped him up while saying playfully, "Don't worry guys! We can do a threesome!"

The boys laughed and saw Annabeth running out of the chemistry lab smiling and running straight towards Percy. She jumped into his arms for a hug and he caught her, arms wide open. "Percy! You will not BELIEVE what just happened!"

They separated and he asked her, "What?"

She talked so fast Jason only heard the words: student, exchange, partner, and the phrase 'get away from that loser.' Apparently, Percy understood every single word, as he nodded enthusiastically at everything Annabeth was saying.

Once she finished, she looked at him with wide eyes and he said, "That's great, Annie!" He gave her a charming smile.

She glared at him as he said the nickname and elbowed him in the gut.

He gave her puppy dog eyes and moved forward for a kiss. She obliged and they were sucking each other's tongues for a good five minutes as Jason and Leo stood there. As they separated, she waved goodbye to the boys and the two boys looked at the sea-green eyed boy weirdly.

Leo asked, "DUDE! How'd you understand what she said?"

He looked at them with a glint in his eyes and answered, "I didn't, but as long as you go along with whatever a lady says, you're golden." Jason and Leo both laugh at Percy and head to their homeroom class with Mr. Brunner.

-DONTMINDMEJUSTALITTLELINEBREAKYO-

As Jason walked towards the opened door of his classroom, Jason spotted Reyna Ramirez. Flashbacks of the two of them playing on the playground together entered his mind. He shook his head as he walked up to her while she was talking to the student body vice president against the locker.

"Hey. Rachel, right?" Jason started. Rachel had been dumped by Percy, so he never got to know her on an intimate level. Though he wanted to get to her, everyone knew about her secret crush on Percy, so he let his friend have her.

She nodded, making her red curls bounce and answered back, "Yep. What do ya need?"

He gave her a smile and stated while looking at Reyna, "I was wondering if I could steal Reyna from you."

Rachel looked back and forth from Jason. She finally understood and made an O shape with her mouth. The red-headed girl replied, "Oh! Of course, Jason! She's all yours." She pushed Reyna forward towards Jason and winked at her quickly before leaving the two.

Jason looked at Reyna and gave her a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of his neck.

Reyna looked at him weirdly, still not understanding. She asked with a guarded look, "So, what do you need Jason? I haven't heard from you in a long time."

He winced and replied, "Yeah. Look, I know we haven't really talked in a long time, but these past few days, I couldn't get you out of my mind."

She tilted her head, with a scrutinizing face that made him know that she doesn't believe him. He sighed, looked to the ceiling and laughed a fake, sad laugh, trying to get her off guard.

It worked and she softened her gaze as he started to say, "I broke up with Drew today. I've thought of you every single day. Every time you pass by me, you're the only girl in the room. Please, at least try to believe me." He waited a couple of seconds, waiting for her to soak the words up and react.

This was one of his best lines to get girls. Usually, they would eat it up, throw themselves at him. Over the years, he learned that if you make a girl feel special, they won't ask for anything more. Consider it one of his three rules for playing the game.

Reyna stared at him, looking at his face: his scar on his lip, his bright blue eyes. If you asked Reyna 2 years ago what she thought of Jason Grace she wouldn't have denied that she wanted to date him, but, looking at him now, with his cropped blond hair and a smirk playing on his lips, she knew that all he wanted to do was play her. Today wasn't the day she would fall prey to his games. Her stare grew cold and intimidating.

"Listen, Grace, if you had half a brain of what you used to have, you'd know that there is no way in HELL that I would muster up an intellectual conversation with you. Let alone go on a date with you. So, I do not believe you. Please go away and ask another girl who does have half a brain and will go out with you." She strutted off into homeroom, the same homeroom Jason would be walking through in a few seconds.

Jason smiled to himself, not because he was just rejected, but because he had something to fight for. He finally met a girl that wasn't just going to fall in love with him with just one line, but someone that was going to be a challenge. Jason loved a good challenge.

Somewhere else in the school...

Piper picked up the packet the office staff put on the desk for her. At the top of the page, it had the words in bold: New Student Transfer Packet. She sighed. Another year, another school. This was her ninth school in eleven years. She was tired. Tired of being forgotten. Forgotten by her dad, her dad's ruthless assistant Jane, and used to be 'friends' that were left in her old schools.

Piper was done trying to please her dad. This year, junior year, was going to be her way. She was going to choose where she went in the future, no one else. Her eyes skimmed through the packet, reading her class schedule, locker number, and all of the clubs and sports teams she could join.

She was going to take high school day by day and make the most out of everything, and if anyone got in her way, they were going to regret it.

Piper walked out of the office and straight to her homeroom. The problem was, she didn't know where her homeroom room was. She groaned at herself and looked around the hallway, trying to find someone that looked normal to ask directions to the room.

She settled on a Latino boy that uncannily resembled a Santa's elf wearing an orange t-shirt and old jeans. She approached him when he finally broke away from two other boys and a blonde girl with princess curls.

She walked up and said, "Hey, I was wondering if you could point me to the way of," she paused to look in the packet for her homeroom teacher's name, "Mr. Brunner's class."

He grinned wider and started, "Ah, Señorita. I see you lost your ways, let me show you the yellow brick road."

Piper rolled her eyes and smiled a little wider and said, "Tin-man, show me the way or I'll find a boy who needs a heart and seduce him to show me another way," she winked at him playfully and he started to laugh.

"Man, beauty queen," she rolled her eyes at the nickname and tried to interrupt but he continued to talk. "You get right to the point. I sense a beautiful friendship starting." He slung his arm across her shoulders and winked back.

She rolled her eyes for the third time and said, "Will you just tell me where he is already?"

He laughed and said, "I've got him as well, so do my other friends. We can walk together. But not as a couple, you're not my type." He playfully pretended to look at her, up and down.

She was about to say something else but he started to walk away and as he walked farther down the hall said, "Hurry up, Red Riding Hood! You need to find your way back home!"

Piper chuckled and raced to catch up with him to give him a long chat about how mixing up two classics is against the rules of life. If he was going to reference them, he needed to show respect.

A/N: Okay, before you start to tell me that this is going to be a jeyna story. GUESS WHAT? IT AINT. Because although I love Reyna, Jeyna just feels weird to me because I love Jasper so much. That's why my username has jasper in it BECAUSE I LURV IT.

Alright, I hope you enjoyed, write a review, give this a follow, a favorite, or hit me up in the PM!
