Wish You Knew
Chapter 4
A/N: Okay so before you guys start trying to kill me, please hear me out. *Dodges a flying axe* Here goes my excuses. Okay so I am so sorry for not updating for a while! I had a huge case of writer's block :'( THAT'S RIGHT, WRITER'S BLOCK. So I couldn't think of anything for a while and I was really busy with homework, projects and tests and to top all of that, I was sick for like a week. I know pretty lame excuses. So chapter 4 is finally here! YAY! I'm really excited on what you guys think.
By the way, this chapter has err a lot of swears in it so if you get offended I apologize. This is rated T for a reason so there would some swears all over the place.
Anyways, this chapter is dedicated to Slightlysane443, for giving me a whole bunch of ideas. If it weren't for Slightlysane, I wouldn't have written this chapter in a while. Oh noez! :( Anyways on to the disclaimer and then the story.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own PJO in anyway or form.
I sighed in frustration. How am I supposed to know what happened in 400-500 A.D? That's like dinosaur and cave men age and how they discovered fire or whatever. I don't even have a stupid partner. I was going to ask Leo but he went with this random girl and then I asked Annabeth but she said she was working with Percy on this project and then there's Jason... No, that would be embarrassing to ask him. The more I try and read over what I'm supposed to do for this stupid timeline project the more I get mad and the more the letters swim out of the paper. Did I mention that I'm dyslexic?
"Project getting you mad huh?" I almost jumped out of my seat and yelled if it weren't for the librarian glaring at me to stay quiet. Stupid library and its stupid rules.
"Geez Jason stop trying to give me heart attacks." I glared at him and then smiled. He's so cute. How can I even get mad at him for that?
"Sorry you looked cute when you look mad right after I gave you a heart attack. Anyways I've got dyslexia too so I can barely read this." I stared at him, trying so hard to not blush. He called me cute! Well this is probably the best week of my entire life. My mind drifted back on the interesting events that happened this week. I comforted him and hugged him and he hugged me back, we won the game and then the next day we hung out—Jason, Leo and I just like the old times.
"Piper? Hello Piper you there?" Jason asked. I realized that I was daydreaming and I felt my face turning red.
"You okay? You look a bit red. Don't tell me you're sick?" Oh gods he noticed! Crap, crap, crap!
"What no, I'm fine just, I guess it's a little too warm in here. Well I gotta go back to my dorm to figure out how to do this project." I replied turning away from him so he wouldn't see me blushing really hard. I collect my books and my backpack heading towards the exit and to my dorm.
"Wait, Piper!" I turned around confused.
"I forgot to ask you—wanna be my partner for this timeline project?" Jason asked averting my gaze. I felt my heart beat way faster than before and the blush crept up to my face again.
"Uh sure, but what about err you know, Reyna?" I asked.
"Well she's going with Octavian," Jason's face darkened, "But anyways, that's great so we can meet up around 4 and start working on the project?"
"Yeah, that would be great." I responded. I hope I didn't sound all flustered and nervous.

"How do I look?" I asked frantically. Thalia and Annabeth laughed.
"Gods you look fine, geez it's just Jason." Thalia smirked which made Annabeth laugh even more.
"Shut up." I glared at them and slammed the door shut and headed to the library. I hummed all the way to the library thinking that this is a really good day. I guess I was wrong. There in the library I saw Reyna sitting with Jason and trying to kiss and hug him I don't know, I really don't care either. I instantly glared at her, well there goes my happiness. I sighed, stood straight, held my head up high and started walking toward them.
Jason looked up, "Hey Piper!" I smiled at him and glared at Reyna.
"Hey Sparky, oh hey Reyna, I didn't know you were here with Jason." I said emphasizing the 'with Jason' part. Reyna just smirked which is starting to piss me off.
'Keep calm Pipes, do not under any circumstances fall for her trap, do not attack Reyna in front of Jason, think of happy stuff like rainbows, unicorns, dresses and heels—okay never mind those things do not make me happy.' I shook my head and smiled sweetly.
"Well I am here with my boyfriend to give him moral support. You know, like in case if you embarrass yourself in front of him and run away crying." I just raised my eyebrow at her comment. If she's trying to start a fight, I'll gladly beat her up.
"Reyna, don't be rude to Piper." Jason said oblivious to the tension rising between us.
I looked at Jason then at Reyna, "Yes Reyna, don't be rude to me, what did I ever do to you." I said the words slowly as if trying to teach a toddler how to talk. Her face became all demented and she glared at me.
'Oh gods, if only I had a camera...' I thought, laughing mentally.
"I do apologize, Piper. I just had a very tough day today and cheerleading gets me frustrated sometimes. Of course you wouldn't know because you're not a cheerleader." Her tone was so sweet that I couldn't help but cringe at the sound of it.
"Well I've gotta go meet up with some of my friends. Bye Jason." She kissed Jason on the lips. I looked away disgusted. Reyna passed by me and smirked.
"You guys are actually kind of agreeing now, I'm glad to see that." Jason smiled. I just shrugged.
'Yeah right, let's just hope she doesn't pick a fight with me.' I thought.
"We need to work on the project now, isn't that what we're here for Sparky?" I asked. He looked up at me, his blue eyes trying to drown me. Gods he is so cute when he looks confused.
"Why Sparky?" He asked. I just laughed.
"I don't know Sparky, why Sparky? I guess because your eyes remind me of lightning," I replied. I saw red tinting his cheeks, aww he's embarrassed... So cute!
"Well that sounded less creepy in my head." I said looking away.
"I don't think it was creepy, I'm sure it was a compliment so thanks." Jason smiled.
"So I can call you Sparky?"
"No!"

"Piper wake up! You know, you came back and you totally ignored us. I swear I saw you floating. Did you see her floating Annabeth?" Thalia asked. I was still half asleep but I heard what she said and I glared at her.
"Yep I saw her floating, was your date that good?" Annabeth laughed. I blushed, gods these people know how to wake me up.
"It wasn't a date. Reyna was there for like twenty minutes trying to pick a fight with me and totally wasting our time—"
"Together time." Annabeth coughed and Thalia snickered. I ignored that comment.
"On doing the timeline cavemen project," I glared at the two of them, "But then I called him Sparky and he asked me why and I said that his eyes remind me of lightning—"
"Cheesy..." Thalia muttered.
"Can you two stop interrupting me? I thought you wanted to know what happened yesterday," I snapped getting really annoyed at the constant interruption. They both shut up after my threat, "Anyways so I teased him about it and we laughed and talked for hours and we decided to go to the smoothie place near us." I said my eyes lighting up as I remembered what happened yesterday.
"I swear he needs to dump Reyna and go out with you instead. First of all, I approve of this so called Jasper," Thalia glanced at Annabeth, "Second of all, you guys spent time working on the project and according to you, you guys were 'laughing and talking for hours' and you went to that smoothie place. Just the two of you alone..."
"So technically it was a date." Annabeth finished. I rolled my eyes and blushed at that comment.
"Whatever you guys, I'm hungry let's go to the cafeteria." I said looking at the time and it's exactly noon.

We walked to the cafeteria. It was packed. Luckily Percy saved us a table and he waved frantically at us so we can spot him.
"Oh gods what is he doing? He's embarrassing me." Annabeth said while she face palmed. Thalia and I exchanged glances.
"Don't be rude, he actually saved us a table." I said trying not to roll my eyes.
"Okay since Percy, Leo and Jason are already there why don't you tell them that we're going to get our food first and they can get it after we come back?" Thalia suggested.
"I'll do that." I said walking toward the table.
"Where'd they go?" Percy asked confused.
"They went to go get their food first; we're going right after they come back." I replied.
After everyone got their food, we all started stealing each other's food. This caused a mini fight between the girls and the boys. I threw an olive at Leo and it hit him right on his forehead. We all laughed and Leo glared at me and then grinned.
"Yeah baby, headshot!" I shouted. I was too busy reveling on my victory to notice incoming bits of spaghetti and olive that hit me square on my face. I turned and glared at the dudes trying to kill them with my glare. Percy and Leo put their hands up in surrender while pointing at Jason. I glared at him.
"This means war!" Thalia declared. As soon as she said that I took a piece of bacon from Percy's plate and threw it at Jason and the bacon hit him on the nose and I laughed hysterically.
"Hey watch it! I was saving that bacon!" Percy wailed.
"Oh shut up Seaweed Brain, you have more food on your plate than everyone else!" Annabeth exclaimed and threw two olives at him and Leo. Thalia was pelting food at Leo, Percy and Jason. She was on a rampage. It seems we're winning. Everyone was laughing until a familiar annoying voice interrupted our food fight. Everyone looked at her and Drew.
"Hey Jason!" Reyna screeched. Everyone around the table cringed at the sound.
"Uhh hey Reyna." She looked around as if expecting everyone to greet her or something.
"So why are you hanging out with these retards?"
"Reyna if anyone's a retard here it would be you." I said glaring at her. Thalia snickered and gave me a high-five.
"Whatever Piper, at least I've actually got a family unlike you." Reyna said haughtily. I sat there stunned at what she just said. I glared at her and in the corner of my eye I can see everyone else glaring at her too. The whole cafeteria has suddenly gone silent.
"Reyna..." Jason warned.
"Don't talk shit about my family, it's not like you've ever met them." I said trying to calm myself down. If she only knew who my dad is, she would be bowing down to me and so would Drew. I bet they even have posters of him back at their dorm. I shuddered at that very gross thought.
"Yeah okay, I don't have to meet them to know what they actually do for a living. Let's see," Reyna said her perfect manicured nails tapping her lips, "I bet your dad stays on the reserve and sell Cherokee arts and your mom... oh right you've never met her." Reyna smirked and Drew snickered.
All I saw was red. I couldn't think. Reyna was lucky that Leo and Thalia were holding me back. If they didn't do it on time, I would've beaten her up.
"Shut the fuck up Reyna!" Thalia shouted. Annabeth glared at Reyna. Suddenly Jason stood up and slammed his hands down the table. That made everyone astonished and feeling a little bit scared. I jumped a little too.
