Okay so I know I say this like every chapter but thank you guys so much! I didn't think I would get so many followers ad favorites!
(Percy's pov)
Eating pizza with everyone was actually really fun. I got to catch up with everyone since school ended. I was a little shocked to see Annabeth AND Rachel there, considering our pasts but it turned out all right.
Now it's Sunday and me and Reyna have tried to spend every last second together until she leaves. When she left the first time she said there was a slight chance she would come back, so I had hope. However, when she leaves this time I know we wont see each other again.
Reyna and I walked next door to Piper's house to help her get ready for the party.
"Good you're here," she said right as we walked through the door. She stuffed a piece of paper at us as disappeared to the back yard without another word.
Get the drinks from the fridge
Buy ice for the cooler
Find the cooler in the garage
Thanks! -Piper
I sighed, "I guess we got chores to do." We decided to go into the garage to find the cooler first.
We were scanning our sorroundings for it when Reyna crashed her lips into mine. I was so surprised by the sudden force that I fell backwards, taking her with me. We laughed and I said panting, "what was that for?"
"Just trying to get enough of those lips while I can," she says after she stopped laughing. I got to my feet and picked her up bridal style before she could get up. She shrieked and yelled at me to put her down. Instead I started to spin around in circles we were both laughing so hard we didn't notice Piper standing in the doorway.
She cleared her throat and I put her down. "Sorry to interrupt your love fest but the party in starting in a hour!"
"Uhh... sorry Piper," Reyna said shyly. I love how she could be so fierce but gets embarrassed about stuff like this. Piper muttered something I couldn't hear and went back to her business.
"Hey there's the cooler!" I said joyfully, spotting it in the corner. We took it to the backyard then went to our local convenience store to buy two bags of ice. Reyna seemed to be having some trouble picking hers up.
"Let's me get that for you," I told her showing my best smile. I grabbed both bags of ice and carried it to the cash register.
"Showoff," she told me, "it's sweet but your still being a showoff." I smirked at her.
Later, still to early for the party to start, Reyna was in the bathroom applying her make up (which I personally don't think she needs) when Piper and Jason told me to come with them to the back yard.
"What's up guys?" They looked nervous. I started to panic a little. "What? What is it?"
"Umm... I don't know how to say this really..." Jason started.
"We're dating," Piper blurted out.
It felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head! Piper!? And Jason?! I didn't say anything for a moment and they started to look even more worried. "You two?" They nodded. "Are going out?" They nodded again.
I let out a breath once it settled in. "That's great!" Their eyes brightened and started to sparkle.
"Really? You think so?" Piper said hopefully.
"Yeah of course it is! My two best friends! When did this start?"
"Well since you've taken so much time lately drooling over Reyna, we got to know each other in a more... romantical way," Jason said as if he didn't know how to put it. "You're the first person we wanted to tell. We wanted to make sure you were okay with it."
"Of course I'm okay with it!" I pulled them into a group hug, which seemed kind of cheesy but it felt right.
"Let me just say you better not start treating me as some third wheel," I said in false anger.
"You got it dude. Thanks for being so awesome about this," Piper said and kissed me on the cheek.
I laughed, "Shouldn't you be saving that for your boyfriend."
Jason pouted. "Yeah! Shouldn't you."
"Sorry sweetie," she said. Piper leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "Better?" He nodded speechless.
"Ugh. Do that somewhere else. This is so weird, I would've never thought you two would go out." They shrugged in unison. The doorbell rung, time to start this party.
I opened the front door to find Rachel, the Stolls and a few other people from school. I let them in and left the door open for people to come in.
Twenty minutes later everyone we invited had arrived and the music was blasting loud. Piper, Jason, Reyna and I were in the backyard shooting hoops. My favorite part was when I got to wrap my arms around her and help her shoot the ball.
When Piper had the ball Jason told her with a wink, "I think I should help you."
"Nah. I'm good," she said back. She stepped on the three-point line and made the basket.
"Wow. My girlfriend is awesome." We all laughed just like we had been all day. I stood behind Reyna so our bodies were touching and snaked my arms around hers to help her when I noticed Annabeth standing by the door watching us. She averted her eyes quickly and I immediately felt bad. I tried not to show it and continued the task at hand.
(Annabeth's pov)
He noticed me! Does that mean anything? Probably not considering the fact that he had his arms wrapped around his girlfriend. No use trying to figure out how the teenage brain of Percy Jackson works, I figured. Hazel and Thalia started to talk to Nico so I found my way to where Leo was lighting the torches on fire with a lighter.
"Hey Annabeth!" He looked towards me but didn't realize he was putting his hair right by the fire. Which caught on fire.
"Leo! Your hair is on fire!" I yelled. He looked up, yelled, and ran to jump into the pool. I stared cracking up so did everyone else in the backyard.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny," he said sarcastically.
"Come one I'll help you dry off." I reached out to grab his hand, which he took and pulled me into the water. I spit water out of my mouth. "Leo! You're so messed up!"
Someone then yelled, "CANNON BALL" and jumped into the pool also. Followed by everyone else in the backyard. I laughed until my stomach hurt.
I turned around to find Percy inches away laughing his head off. "Oh, hey. Annabeth," he said between breaths. I looked around to see about random twenty teenagers stuffed into on pool.
"Um hi." I heard Leo call my name from behind me. Thank god, I don't think I would be able to stand this awkwardness. "I'll, uh, see you around."
Why does he have to be so darn cute?
YAY! Jasper is now in action! Percabeth will come soon ;) please review!
