Reyna

"Should I wear my baseball hat?" Annabeth asked me while looking at herself in the mirror.

"Annabeth, this is just a casual party. Not a formal gathering." I reason. Annabeth went over my house to try and see what my opinion was on her outfit and accessory choices. This isn't like Annabeth, although she told me she wanted to dress nice for Percy. It's so weird how the girl tries so hard just to impress a boy, though sometimes they barely notice or appreciate it. Love is weird.

As Annabeth went through all my clothes that fit her, from my closet to my bed, she started rummaging trying to find something non-tomboy to wear. I of course thought it was pointless judging by the fact that Percy loves Annabeth for who she is, and not for what she wears.

"Annabeth, you are trying too hard. I'm sure a regular shirt and jeans would be perfectly fine." She ignored me while looking through the pile of my clothes on my bed.

I was already set for the party. I just threw on my purple t-shirt with Reyna on it in gold, some skinny jeans, and a denim jacket. Thinking too hard on your choice of clothing to me is just plain weak. Of course you'll have to dress appropriately, although thinking about the opinions from others on what you wear, is just not my cup of tea.

The doorbell unexpectedly rang, and I was visualizing either Piper McLean visiting me to give another lecture, or Jason Grace asking about a letter.

After wondering for a bit, I realized my question would soon be answered if I opened the door. I then rushed down the stairs, and opened the door to see a Bobby who looked casual yet quite handsome.

"Oh, hello there Bobby." I said. He looked a bit shy and nervous judging by the hand behind the neck.

"Hello Reyna." He simply replied.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

Bobby didn't answer me for a moment, but soon did. "Actually, I was wondering if you'd want to go to Percy's party with me."

I tilted my head with a raised eyebrow. Bobby's request was like how someone usually asks someone to a school dance...not a casual party. I really didn't have a partner, and Annabeth would most likely abandon me for Percy Jackson, so I guess I could go with Bobby.

"Alright. Although don't get any ideas. This is a casual gathering...remember that." I say. Bobby's face softened and seemed that some pressure on him just lifted.

"I just need to grab one thing before I can go." I tell Bobby. He nodded, and I ran upstairs.

"Annabeth there has been a change of plans. Apparently Bobby wanted me to go to Percy's party with him, and I agreed, so shall I see you there?" I informed Annabeth. She was too busy looking for an outfit that she just flailed her hand in reply

I took it as a yes, grabbed my house keys, went downstairs, and followed Bobby to walk to Percy's party. I lived only at the other side of his street, so walking was an option.

"Why did you want me to go with you Bobby?" I asked out of the blue. Bobby looked like he was ambushed with my question.

He cleared his throat, and said, "Well, I thought you were pretty cool, and well..." He trailed off, but I didn't mind.

The whole walk was a bit awkward, but then after a few minutes, we arrived at Percy's house. The music was loud, and the place was packed!

Hopefully, Bobby will save me from the wild immature creatures we call 'humanity'.

Jason

When I was first notified of Percy Jackson's party, I was not expecting it to be a party in which the entire school attended. Piper told me it was just going to be a small crowd...although judging by the barrels of expensive wine, Percy was not expecting the party to be a Sweet 16.

Dakota handed me a gold chalice with a red-colored drink. "Dakota, I am not gonna drink wine." I say. He lifted his eyebrow before chugging down his own chalice. "What are you talking about? I hate wine! It's cherry kool-aid!" He exclaimed.

I should've known better that the drink I was holding would be kool-aid. I hitched a laugh and drank the kool-aid. Though, I almost choked after being pulled to the stairs by some person with dark hair. With the slightest bit of hope, I thought it was Reyna, but the hair was not raven black so it was not Reyna. It was Drew.

"Jason! What a surprise to see you here! Y'know, you being a bit of a rival with Percy." She said trying to act all surprised.

"Umm, well this party was really an open invite so..." I replied awkwardly, although Drew was still smiling brightly at me. People used to call me a 'blonde superman' for some reason, and right now Drew looks like a black-haired barbie.

She leaned in closer to me, but I took a step up the staircase. She kept moving forward as I moved back, until Piper came out of the upstairs bathroom looking angrily shocked. "Drew!" She shouted. Though since this party was so loud...shouting was basically normally speaking in this case.

"Ugh...why did you have to bring the indian Grace? You could just be with a cool asian." Drew innocently said while batting her eyelashes. Piper got more mad, and narrowed her eyes at Drew while I backed away.

"First of all, it's Cherokee, NOT Indian. I've said this before and I'm saying it again...Jason is mine!" Piper retorted.

Piper said 'mine' as if I was just an item that she wouldn't share with the other kids in a playground. Is that what Piper thinks of me? A toy not share-able?

I was trying to decipher Piper's words as she verbally fought Drew. Though, as I thought while looking into the distance at the door, Reyna walked inside. With...with Bobby?!

He took Reyna's hand and led her to dining table filled with junk food. Since when was Reyna with Bobby? Since when did Bobby like Reyna? Why are those two together? How come Reyna is not noticing that he is trying to flirt with her? Why are they...wait...why do I care? It's not like Reyna's my girlfriend, much less even a friend. She's basically an aquaintance.

After wondering why I care that Reyna came with Bobby, I saw that Bobby put his arm around Reyna, and it unintentionally got me mad. "Right Jason, you're mine?" Piper asked I think, although I ignored her and rushed past her to get to Reyna.

I ran up to the 2, and when I got to them I was already out of breath.

Reyna first saw me, and I'm glad she did. "Oh, hey Jason!" She said loudly over the music. She took Bobby's arm around her shoulder, and he soon noticed I was in his presence.

"Hey Jason!" He said as if he did nothing wrong. He may be my best friend, and I'm not dating Reyna, though this is not approved by me.

"Hey Bobby, can I talk to Reyna? It's project purposes and very mandatory."

Bobby first looked confused, though when he nodded I quickly grabbed Reyna's wrist, and led her to the nearest room where we can have a private talk. The bathroom wasn't my best wish in which the room I hoped to go into, but that wasn't the point.

"What the heck are you doing?!" I exclaimed while frantically flailing my arms to emphasize my question.

Reyna seemed really confused. "I'm living, and unintentionally gone to this reckless humane party." She replied.

I glared at Reyna. "No, I mean what are you doing with BOBBY!?"

Judging by her expression, it looked like Reyna put two and two together and figured out the reason for this. "Jason, Bobby asked me if I wanted to go this party with him. It's just a party, not prom. Besides, why would you care? You're dating Piper!"

"So? This still does not make me okay!" I retort.

"What?! I don't need your permission for what I do! Just because we kissed once, does not mean you suddenly own me. It's been a week since then and we only had a short conversation at the park! You left me hanging, why would you do that?!" She reasoned.

I thought about her debate, and I realized she was right. I basically ignored her after the kiss, and then I shouldn't care about her and Bobby. We were never dating, and plus I'm dating Piper.

I sighed. "Look, Reyna...I'm sorry." I was going to continue with an explanation, though she interrupted.

"No Jason, just stop there. I think i'll just go. I shouldn't have gone to this party anyways.

Reyna

I opened the door, and stepped out the bathroom. I should probably tell Bobby that I'm leaving, but I didn't want to.

As I pushed past the crowd of high teenagers around me, I can hear Jason saying sorry countless times while trying to convince me to stay, but I just ignored him. He can't just do that. He can't play with my emotions, and ignore me the next recurring week. Then, he can't just think I need his approval and which boys I can be with or hang out with. Jason Grace cannot just use me like that.

I thought about this the whole time I walked out of Percy's house and across the street. Though, an alarming sentence made me stop mid-way on the road.

"Reyna WATCH OUT!" Jason shouted. I looked in front of me to see a gigantic truck heading toward me. My body just turned off. I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, I couldn't think. I was simply still and shocked.

When the truck was dangerously close, I felt a hard shove and I was pushed to the other side of the street.

The last thing I saw was blonde hair going on top of a truck while a loud crash sounded.

Hehe...You all hate me for cliff-hangers especially my ARA readers...so SURPRISE!
