I am AMAZED no one mentioned the chick flick quote! I've NEVER seen that! I just googled "memorable chick flick quotes" and that came up.
Hey, guys! If you ever find yourself in any of these situations with girls, use the things these awesome guys say. Either that or just stare openmouthed at a girl. (Backing away from my stalker who is doing exactly the same thing)
I don't know why Reyna wasn't there to welcome Jason back to camp. Maybe she was fixing her make up? (JK…maybe.)
I reread The Book Thief again. Dry sobs. SUCH a sad book. It's always Rudy and Rosa and Frau Holtzapfel that get me. NOOOOOO! WHY DID THEY DIE? WHYYYY!
But anyways…on with the book (Oh, and Silena Arya Saphira River—IN LOVE WITH YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME!)
Chapter 4: Piper
That cheating jerk!
I saw the whole thing. Octavian, after telling everyone they could join the camp, took me on an exclusive tour of Camp Jupiter. We stopped by the Temple of Bellona, and looked in the window. Jason and Reyna were dancing. And then he leaned in close. Really close. Really, really, really close. Like he'd never done with me.
I stormed off. I tried to stem the flow of hot tears ruining my mascara (that I FINALLY allowed Drew to put on me—you'd be amazed how much that girl can change), and failed horribly.
Octavian stopped me.
"Piper," he said. "I won't pretend to know your hurt. But maybe I can help you get him back."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You stick with me, maybe we can…you know," he said vaguely.
"Make him jealous?" I asked. I told myself I wasn't going to sink to Leo's level—he did the same thing to get Drew's attention this summer, hanging out with Lacey, which I found disgusting—but Octavian's voice was…pulling me in? Trapping me?
Much like charmspeak.
EEWW! Did I just suggest that he could be my sibling? EEWW!
There was no way I was going to go through with this.
"Okay."
No! What was I saying! I'm sorry, Octavian, but I can't do this!
"All right."
What was wrong with me? Couldn't I follow through with anything? Just say no, Piper, just say no!
"Okay."
What have I gotten myself into? You can back out at any time, Piper.
But even as I thought it, I knew it was impossible.
