I do not own HoH or anything else I did not makeup.

Jason's POV

Two weeks later...

Lately I've been so tired. Zeus airlines has been making me work overtime for the last three days. Apparently, there's some important guest arriving and we needed to get ready.

Thalia still hasn't come to school either. She's been sick with the flu and it's getting worse. She's been getting her assignments through Annabeth.

They were like best friends so it wasn't a problem for Annabeth to go over and help her catch up. It also helped her spill her feelings over Percy being away.

Now, I was in first period and about to fall asleep. I had to carry these heavy boxes and file papers all day yesterday. My arms were sore and I think looking at the papers gave my eyes papercuts. My head was down and I made it look like I was reading. Brilliant strategy.

i was about to start sleeping when Leo shook my shoulder. "Dude, come on we have to get going."

I groaned and looked over to my left. "Did the bell ring?"

"Nope, but we're leaving."

I looked over at the clock. "We have like half an hour left, just let me sleep. The sub doesn't mind." I put my head down again but he slaped my arm down.

"We have to go to Piper's presentation."

That woke me up. I forgot that Piper's history class had a presentation today. We promised her that we would be there for morale support. But now I think that promise wasn't a good idea. "We can't go, the substitute won't let anyone leave."

He punched me in the gut and I screeched in pain. It was like the sound of a bat and a bear mixed together. "Mr... whatever my friend has a serious stomach cramp can I help him go to the bathroom?"

I was no longer screeching but I kept up the too much in pain to walk act. He let us go and once we were outside I punched his gut.

"AAYYEE should have seen that coming," he said grabbing his stomach. We walked around the campus until we found Piper's history class. The door was open and we snuck in behind some students practicing their speeches.

Some things about the economy collapsing if you choose him and not the other guy. I saw Piper's poster and it was simple with charts, statistics, and some patches of words. It was pretty good for Dylan. I hated that guy.

He was so inconsiderate to people in general. He always hit on girls, namely Piper, and was so full of himself. Thinking he was so cool.

We crawled behind the desks to the back and saw Piper standing near the podium. Drew was talking and to be honest her speech was totally convincing. I almost wanted to choose her instead of Piper. Almost.

Then I made eye contact with Piper.

Piper's POV

Oh my God, I am so nervous. And that's saying a lot because I'm never nervous to show my true colors in front of people.

Drew was actually a good public speaker. She made some convincing arguments. I would have serious trouble beating her. Mrs. Sanchez said you have to at least match up to your opponent to get a good grade.

I looked at the class and they were intoxicated by Drew's voice. I kind of wanted to step down. Then I saw two figures in the back.

Leo and Jason actually made it. I wasn't surprised from Leo's presence, but Jason was a total teacher's pet. He would never cut class. Then Leo made a gesture that signaled they made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Jason looked me in the eye and that instantly calmed me down. He always made me feel like the only girl in he room. I hated that he made me feel like that. I'll punch him once this stupid class is over.

Drew finally finished and blew a few kisses into the crowd. I saw one specifically head to Jason. This bitch. It was my turn and Dylan held up the poster. The girls were focused on him so that helped relieve my stage fright. I'm used to the back and being unnoticeable.

I went up to the podium and my throat went dry. I looked around and all eyes were now on me. I tried to speak words but they wouldn't come out of my mouth.

Then someone cleared their throat. I looked in that direction about to cuss them out when I saw it was Jason. He did the eye contact thing with his hand and I felt like I was just talking to him. I spoke with confidence and security.

The whole time I was talking it felt like we were having a normal conversation. His gaze was so comforting and he took in every word I said. I could stare into them forever. I was finally done and his eyes were still on me.

They all nodded their heads and applauded.

It was finally over.

The rest of the day went quick because it was a minimum day so after school we went off to the Big House.

I know this chapter sucks and is short. I will update in a few days, and recap the day through the plaza. Jason, Leo, Piper, and the rest of the gang will talk about the interesting things that happened when I had no writer's block.

You don't have to review this one, I planned on some elaborate fluffy moment between Jason and Piper, but no ideas.

The fluff will be in the next chapter. Trust me, I'm Chosen Hero.
