Chapter 3:In this awkward stage

Piper's POV

Jason and I decided to make a run for it to the mess hall/pavilion. I was starting to get ahead but Jason and I were still um…holding hands. I tried to jerk my hand free to run ahead but Jason gripped my hand tighter as if he didn't want me to let go. Jason being stronger pulled me back beside him a little too much and I fell on top of him. Good thing it was snowing so our landing was quite soft. I immediately blushed once I realized what position I was which was of course on top of Jason, with our faces only two inches apart. My eyes widened.

I immediately knew that I was blushing red as a tomato. And Jason was too. "Um, sorry…" I whispered. "Piper! Jason! Where are you?" Azure, a daughter of Poseidon, immediately came into view. "Oh!" Her emerald green eyes widened when she saw us. A small smile formed on her face. "Sorryy, did I invade something private?"

"Um… no! Whyisbreakfastover?" I asked quickly as me and Jason stood up, brushing the snow off our jackets. "No. Chiron sent me to look for you guys. Breakfast just started ten minutes ago. But if you want I'll tell him you're busy." Azure explained before turning around and running back to the pavilion.

"No!" Jason and I shouted before running after Azure. When we reached the pavilion, practically everyone stared at us. And that's when I realized Jason and I were still holding hands.

"Glad you could join us, Jason and Piper."Chiron nods at us to take our seats. We just blush in reply, let go of each other's hands, and go over to our tables. I could see most everyone was smirking, wolf whistling or whispering. I heard someone say, "Jason and Piper are probably a couple already so…" I blushed. We are not a couple, yet. I don't know… I kinda like him and the whole Aphrodite cabin pinky-sweared that Jason liked me back too.

Speaking of the Aphrodite cabin, I sat down and was immediately welcomed by curious glances from my cabin mates. "Uh, good morning," I lamely said as I took a seat between Hannah and Lacy. I barely took a few bites of breakfast before Drew who sat in front of me asked.

"So, Piper," Drew was smirking at me but not in a mean way. "What were you and Jason doing in the forest at oh I don't know six in the morning?" "Nothing, Drew," I replied trying to be nonchalant and really failing at it. "Jason and I were just talking, that's all." "So, does that mean you both are you know?" Drew asked. "I know what?" I asked trying to stall for time. I know I was blushing. "Don't play dumb, Piper. You know what Drew means. So, really, are you two a couple now?" Hannah asks, her turquoise eyes shining with curiosity. "Um, no, we aren't a couple." I reply with a hint of sadness. Drew raises her eyebrow in suspicion. "Honest," I raise my hand as if I'm pledging. "So, then what are you two?" Lacy asks, wide-eyed. "And don't you dare say best friends, hon…" Drew threatens half-heartedly. "I don't know, okay?" I reply exasperated as my half-sisters asked me the questions I've been asking myself all this time. Drew, Hannah and Lacy are silent until Lacy asks, "But you have feelings for him right?"

"Yeah, you know that but I don't know with Jason," I turn to look at the son of Zeus at the Big Three table. He was blushing as Percy was asking him a question and Nico was saying something. Hmm, wonder what they were talking about. Me? (Nah, I'm being stupid.

"Are you kidding me, Piper McLean? Of course he likes you!" Hannah practically yells at me. 'Yeah, okay, whatever." I say as I continue eating breakfast. "This bacon tastes good." I remark, trying to change the subject. "Lame, Piper, lame. Hey, Piper, I heard there's this Apollo girl flirting with Jason at archery class." Drew says. "What?" I say, eyes widening. "Aww, see you do care for him, no wait, you looove him." Hannah coos teasingly.

I just blush, realizing I got tricked. "No I don't." Of course, my blushing says otherwise. "Fine, you like-like him." Lacy says, as if it was a well-known fact. "And he likes you back too, hon." Drew says. "So, it must be love." Hannah shouts. And all three of them start giggling. The conch horn blows for us to get to class. Phew, saved by the bell.

Okay. Thanks for reading. I will update more often. Plus! Perhaps I'll write one or two stories more. Maybe. Anyways, next chapter will be in Jason's POV.
