Hi. I'm back. I wanted to say thanks to duantlessgirl 23 for reminding me how much I wanted to do a chapter like this. I'm also thinking about writing a Fanfiction about how Piper and Jason started dating because even though they mention it in The Demigod Dairies but they never explain HOW it started. Please tell whether you want me to or not in the poll on my profile page. Enjoy!

"Hey guys. Cordie, where's your brother? I need to get my Math notes from him." Percy Jackson asked me as he sat down at lunch. He said it so casually like he had no idea how big of a crush I had on him.
"He's in the principal's office again. He should be back any minute." I replied.
"Okay, great. Thanks."
"Sure." I smiled at him as flirty as possible without it being too obvious. He smiled back. His eyes always got a little brighter when he smiled. I wish he would just man up and ask me out already.
"Yo, Perce, here are your Math notes. Thanks for letting me borrow them. Did you write 'em?" My idiot twin brother Carson sat down next to him and returned his notes.
"Sort of. My tutor helped me."
"Who's your tutor 'cause these are amazing." Carson asked.
"Uh, she doesn't go here. I met her at a summer camp."
"You mean the one that you have to be specially selected to attend and some kids stay all year 'round because it isn't safe?"
"Yep. That's the one." At that point I was drawn into the conversation.
"What did she do?" I asked. "'Cause you said you have to go because of all the schools you've been kicked out of."
"She's a run away." He said it so casually I thought he was kidding. Then we locked eyes. He wasn't joking. Then the bell rang. It was time to go to gym.
"Hey guys. I'm having a party on Friday with some of my friends from camp and I want you guys to come. It starts at 7:00." Carson was about to answer when I beat him to it.
"Of course. We'd love to come. It sounds like a blast."
"Great. See you there. I'm of to Math. Lets see if these notes really are as great as you say they are." He walked off. I sighed longingly; I hoped Carson hadn't heard me. He had.
"Relax. Everyone knows he likes you. He turned down Alicia Barnes for you last month! He's just trying to find the most romantic time."
"I guess you're right." I said wistfully.
"Of 'course I'm right. I just got a B on my Math test!"
I laughed.
"Hey. Why did you have to go to the Principal's office, anyway?"
"They thought I was cheating because my grade was so much higher than normal."
I started cracking up. That's why I love my brother.

The rest of the week seemed to be going in slow motion while waiting for the party. (A/N: The first section of the story was on a Monday.) By the time school got out on Friday I could barley contain my excitement. As soon as the bus got to our stop I was out the door. When I got to my room I spent two hours trying to pick the right outfit. Percy had said that it was a "Dress Down" party, so jeans and a T-shirt would be completely acceptable. I, however, didn't want to look acceptable. I wanted to impress him. Finally, I decide on a sparkly pink A-line dress with brown leather sandals. My older sister Nachelle curled my dark brown hair and pinned it up with little sparkly bobby pins. I slid on a brown leather jacket because it was mid November and it was getting cold. Carson was waiting by the car. When he saw me he whistled.
"Dang, Cordie. If Percy doesn't ask you out tonight he's got to have brain damage!"
"Shut up." Even though I was happy he said that I couldn't let him know that. When we got to Percy's apartment I started getting really nervous. What if I'm over dressed? What if he doesn't think I look pretty? What if I have a soda burp? My brain started going into overdrive. Carson knocks on the door. There's no answer. He knocks again. Still no answer.
"There's a spare key under the doormat." Said a female voice behind us. I turned to see a girl around 15 with spikey black hair, blue eyes, freckles, and a T-shirt that said "Death to Barbie".
"I'm sorry, who are you?" I asked. I was a little freaked out that she knew that.
"I'm Thalia. I'm Percy's cousin."
"Oh. That's cool." I said, relieved she wasn't his girlfriend.
"Yeah, sort of. We don't exactly get along most of the time." She said it in a tone that meant the conversation was over. "Annabeth's probably distracting him." She reached under the doormat and pulled out a key.
"Who?" asked Carson. Thalia just smiled.
"You'll see." She opened the door and I saw the last thing on earth I ever thought I would see Percy Jackson doing. He was on the couch with some skinny Blonde on top of him. They were kissing! Thalia cleared her throat. The girl yelped and sat straight up.
"What happened to that little girl me and Luke found hiding in an ally after she ran away from home?" Thalia asked, not being able to contain her laughter. At first I was disgusted at Percy for kissing a girl like that. She looked like your average ditzy, slut exept for her grey eyes. They seemed...I don't know... off. They actually looked intelligent. Then I realized Thalia had just said she was a runaway. Didn't Percy say his tutor was a runaway?! I thought.
"Hi Thalia." Said the girl. I remembered Thalia said her name was Annabeth.
"Cordie. Carson. I'm glad you guys came the others will be here soon. This is Annabeth. She's my tutor." Percy finally spoke up.
"Is that all?" Annabeth asked half joking, half flirting. I already hated her.
"Okay fine. She's also my girlfriend." He smiled a little when he said "girlfriend". I couldn't believe it! I thought he liked ME!
"Oh. Cool." Carson said. I could tell he was looking at me sympathetically. I had to fight back tears. Why would he ever go for a girl like THAT!? (A/N: Probably because she's amazing, and funny, and smart, and kind, and nothing like what you think she is.) She had gotten off of Percy's lap and walked into the kitchen to talk with Thalia who had already started rummaging through Percy's fridge like she owned the place.
"Yo, Pinecone Face, pizza should be coming any minute. Lay off the food." Percy called into the kitchen. Thalia turned around and gave him a thumbs up. She had an apple in her mouth.
"Sooooooo," Carson started. "When were you going to tell us that you had a girlfriend?"
"Um, I guess it never seemed like that big of a deal. We started dating back in August."
"What school does she go to?"
"Kingston Prep." He said. Ugh. Of course she does. Kingston Prepatory for Gifted Girls was a snobby boarding school Downtown. You could only get in if you had, like, a bajillion dollars or a scholarship, but they NEVER gave those. I know because I tried to get one.
"Ugh. Seriously Perce, a rich girl? You could do better." I said in disgust.
"She actually has a scholarship. She never shuts up about it. Annabeth Chase couldn't get less than an A- if she TRIED!"
"I can still hear you Percy!" She called from the door. More people had finally started to show up.
The End (For Now)
I'll be putting the rest off the party up in about a week. I'm going on vacation.
Love,
Livie
