P.O.V

Piper

I walked into the dining hall this morning to see people talking about last night's announcement made by . People were scrambling for a date to the dance, asking people and being asked. I ignored the people and went up to the breakfast bar to get some eggs with a few sausages.

Once I got my breakfast, I spotted Silena and went to go sit next to her. "So, who are you going to ask to the dance?" She asked when I sat down with my plate. " I don't know, I'm hoping I won't have to worry about that and someone will just ask me. Who are you taking?" I asked. "You know that guy who I was interested in? He asked me to the dance." She replied, smiling dreamily. Then while she was talking on how cute her date was, a cute blond haired guy walked in the hall, talking to two other guys that walked in with him.

"Ooh, the blond guy looks kinda cute, I might ask him" One of the girls near me whispered to her other two friends. "No, I think the black haired one on the right looks more handsome." one of the other two girls replied. "What about that other kid with the army jacket? He looks ok." A third girl said. "Yeah, but I'd prefer the blondie. No offense to the other two guys, but he's the cutest of the three in my opinion." the first girl declared. I ignored them and looked at the blondie. He had blue eyes and a scar under his lower lip. 'Maybe I'll ask him to the dance.' I thought. "Hey Piper, are you listening?" Silena asked. I snapped my attention back to her.

"Huh? What were you saying?"

"I was saying... what are you looking at?" She demanded. My eyes wandered back to the blond haired boy who had now sat down and was talking with his two friends sitting next to him while eating breakfast. She stopped talking and looked over to who I was looking at.

"Oh, you're interested in him? He is kinda cute, why don't you ask him to the dance this Friday?" I blushed. "Come on, boys like girls who are strong and not afraid to ask them out." she said. "Where did you here that?" I asked suspiciously. She pulled out a book called Fifty Ways to Get a Date for a School Dance by Venus. "Where did you get a book like that?" I asked.

"I got it from our cabin, apparently our cabin has lots of great dating books." 'I didn't even know our cabin even had dating books, much less one about how to ask a guy to a school dance.' I thought to myself while I picked up my bagel and started eating it. Silena and I then chatted about what we were going to wear to the dance until the bell rang, signaling that first period would start soon. We got up from the table and walked over and placed our plates in a gray plastic tub half full with other dirty plates and then started walking out of the dining hall. Once we got to my homeroom classroom, Silena and I entered and sat down in our seats next to each other.

P.O.V.

I was still thinking about last night's announcement and who to take to the dance when I was

going down to breakfast with Jason and Leo. "So, who do you think you are going to ask to the

dance?" Jason asked us while we were walking down to the dining hall. "I don't know, maybe

I'll ask that blond girl that sits next to me in Mr. Neptune's class. She seems nice." I replied with

a shrug. "Oh, that girl that defended you from Ms. Minerva when you dropped the trident?"

Leo asked, "I think her name is Annabeth, right?" "Yeah, it is." I replied.

"Anyways, who are you guys planning on bringing?" I asked as we entered the dining hall. "I

was thinking about bringing this girl named Piper from my fourth period class with Mr. Jupiter."

Jason responded. "Well, you guys are lucky to know who you're going to ask out, I still have no

clue on who to ask. Maybe I'll ask one of the girls in my class like you guys are doing." Leo said

with a sigh.

We kept talking about who to take as we went over to the breakfast bar and got our food. I was disappointed that they didn't have blue food, but then again, this was a school cafeteria. I placed a few waffles on my plate and lathered some syrup on.

Then, we looked around the cafeteria for a place to sit. I noticed there were some girls looking at us while whispering, but I ignored them and kept looking for an empty seat. Once I found one, I told Leo and Jason that I had found a spot and went over to the empty seats and sat down, placing my plate on the table with a fork and knife that I had grabbed from the bar.

"Hey Jason, is that girl who keeps staring at you Piper?" Leo asked. We looked over there and sure enough, there was a girl with long choppy caramel-colored hair looking at us, or more specifically, Jason. She then looked back at her friend, who was trying to get her attention. "You should have no problems asking her out," I said, as I started to cut up my waffles and eat them. "Yeah." Jason replied as he and Leo also started to eat their breakfast. We then chatted until the bell rang, which signaled homeroom. We then walked over to put our dirty plates away and started walking out of the dining hall. "Well, good luck to you two asking girls to the dance." Leo said." "Same to you." I replied, as we headed out of the dining hall to homeroom.
