AN: Thank you for all of those who actually take the time to review! All these comments about my stories make me want to keep writing! They keep me motivated on days I don't want to type.

Disclaimer: I do not own the PJO or HoO series in anyway… All credits go to Rick Riordon!

And now! It's time for a long awaited update! INTRODUCING! Chapter 10!

Piper

More and more demigods were filing in.

All with the same excuse of 'accidently' giving away vital information, that they were demigods;

Piper was unimpressed.

Half-bloods had kept their secret for years! And now that the mist was gone, operation disguise-real-identity had gone down the drain.

Piper would prove to them that she could keep her identity when others couldn't.

In honest what really had happened was Chiron had forced her to attend school just like he had done with many other Half-bloods.

Turns out Charm-speak doesn't work on part horse immortal trainers.

Darn it!

She would have to extra careful today, partly because it was only her first day,

And partly because she knew almost everyone there; she didn't need another encounter with Isabel.

She had heard from Leo who had come back to camp that Isabel had gained a boyfriend. Joe.

Who wasn't all tipping on the handsome side.

Walking into school in shorts that showed off her long legs and a simple tank top with her chopped brown hair in one braid rather than many, and a lone feather to finish the look;

She looked like a model with uneven hair, though even that could have people dropping on the floor in jealousy.

As soon as she stepped in, Piper felt the world's stare on her, all judging her, all examining her.

Welcome to High School.

Many began pointing at her; Piper rolled her eyes hadn't their parents told them that were rude?

'Isn't that Piper?' Many whispered, Hades! Piper had hoped they wouldn't have recognized her.

Word had spread that Piper was back in a matter of seconds. Piper had suddenly found herself crowded by a bunch of sluts.

'Well, Who do we have here?! Welcome back Peter' Isabel smiled sweetly her teeth baring.

'The name's Piper, Hun' Piper smirked; Leo had informed her on Isabel's memory loss.

But seriously! Even with memory loss… Who would name their daughter Peter?!

Isabel rolled her eyes 'I don't care' her posy snickered.

'You would if you knew my parents' Piper mumbled. Isabel snapped her head 'What did you say'

Piper stared at Isabel but didn't say anything. The two girls were having a show down, with their eyes.

Isabel was certain she was going to win, 'Look away' Piper said her voice so entrancing, Isabel didn't know what she was doing but the intensity in Piper's eyes were too much, she looked away.

Piper hated using charm speak mortals. But Isabel was the exception.

Before any of the girls could speak, a big bulky guy made his way up to Isabel and kissed her.

'Hey babe' He grinned, Piper wanted to puke. Jason never said babe to her, she was slightly glad for that.

Isabel smiled at the boy who Piper guessed was Joe, and then looked back to Piper smugly.

As if Piper didn't have a boyfriend.

'Hey James' Isabel pouted her lips to make them look like someone had stuffed them with Octavian's teddy bears.

It seems Isabel had smashed her head with idiocy and then come back with memory loss. Who couldn't remember their boyfriends name?

Okay, hold up! Piper reminded herself to stop talking to Percy; the barnacle brain was influencing her intelligent thoughts.

And now she was thinking like a certain daughter of Athena…

Piper needed new friends.

'Joe, actually' Joe fake smiled, 'Oh how silly of me!' Isabel laughed placing her hand on his chest 'James does sound better though' She purred.

Piper was going to hurl… Her hope for a dreamless sleep had been shattered.

Joe looked to Piper and suddenly Isabel was forgotten 'Hello beauty, Joe Andrew's captain of the soccer team, most popular boy in this school, and you are?'

Isabel had acted as if he had listed of titles that would make him more endearing. Did she have a demigod son of Jupiter?, Praetor of Camp Jupiter and Flying Superhero of a boyfriend?

Didn't think so.

Oh! Did she mention he had killed giants? No?

Piper growled at Joe 'Obviously taken' Joe grinned 'Hard to get I see… I like'

Isabel grabbed Piper's arm 'Don't you dare try to make a move on my man Poppy!' She shrieked.

'Piper' Piper reminded once again. Isabel waved it off, 'You think your so much better than me, guess again tribal again, at least I have a mum'

Tribal girl? This girl was going down.

'What did you call me?' Piper asked her eyes narrowing; Isabel and her posy who Piper had forgotten were still there laughed.

'You heard me Peter' Isabel smirked 'Tribal girl' Suddenly everyone was chanting it, everyone in the hall, for Zeus' sake even the teachers were chanting it!

'You don't have your friends Jason and Leo to save you now' she growled, Piper was seeing flashes of red, who did Isabel think she was?

'I don't need anyone to save me' Piper gritted from her teeth, Joe and everyone else watched the interaction between Isabel and Piper in slight amusement.

Piper unlike last time seemed too able to hold her ground against Isabel.

Isabel widened her eyes in mock shock 'Is that so?' Her eyes lowered and an evil smile grew on her face.

'Where are they then? Your alone Piper, it's only you and me right now' She grinned 'No one else, Not Jason, not Leo, not your father or even your stupid mother' Isabel laughed

'SHUT UP!' Piper yelled, she hadn't realized she had been charm speaking until everyone in the hall had quietened down.

The mortals knew something had changed between Piper, something they couldn't quite explain.

Her confidence was at it's full, her eyes sparked with sadness and pain and so much life experience.

What would a 16 year old know about life?

Something wasn't so normal about Piper; they had been proved correct when they had been silenced by her voice.

'Don't you dare speak about my mother like that!' Piper said her breathing ragged; Isabel rolled her eyes 'How can you defend that low life who abandoned you?'

'My mother is not a low-life! and she did not abandon me!' Piper said as calmly as she could.

'How are you aware of that, Piper?' A teacher among the crowd asked. Piper turned to him and glared.

'I have met my mother, and she did not abandon us by will, she is beauty and love itself' Piper breathed still trying to calm herself.

'Exaggeration of lies are never good, Piper. They only lead to something much greater.' the teacher shook his head.

Piper was angry; who did these people think they were? Many of the mortals had noticed this and began to back away.

'Prove them wrong my daughter' A voice advised Piper. She resisted the urge to grin at everyone.

The mortals were staring at Piper, who began to glow a pinkish gold. Piper floated upwards her arms spread apart.

The light engulfed her, many of the mortals tried to look but shield their eyes from the intensity.

When the light had died down, and Piper floated downwards everyone was left shell shocked.

Piper's eyes were brighter than usual the different colours gleaming, Piper's body was wrapped in Greek robes, her brown choppy hair now long and lush, gold and silver wires binding it together.

On her face was slight makeup to enhance her natural beauty. She looked like a goddess.

This couldn't be Piper; this had to be someone else.

Isabel had turned a blotchy red; the teacher who had tried to best Piper was opening and closing his mouth in shock. The others were suddenly regretting joining the crowd in chanting.

'My name is Piper Mclean. Daughter of Tristan Mclean and Aphrodite goddess of Love and Beauty, I am One of the Seven, Defeater of Giants, Charms speaker, Defeater of Gaea' Piper stated calmly.

She was a demigod?!

Everyone gasped and began whispering some even protested, Isabel was screaming in jealousy.

Joe was winking at Piper but Piper was there in a flash trailing her knife across Joe's heart 'Ever do that again, and I'll gut you like a fish' Joe gulped and backed away screaming.

Piper looked to the hallway were mortals were staring at her in awe, newly found respect.

It never had occurred to them that Piper would have the slightest chance of being… well half god.

Never had it occurred to them that one day Piper would be the one showing them up.

She was the daughter of Tristan Mclean for Zeus sake! Her mother was Aphrodite! Who could top that?

They all wanted to be her. They wanted to know her now that they knew who she was. She was beautiful but powerful; all it took was her revelation to show them this.

Piper couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Isabel was burning in envy, her posy unsure what to do,

Piper laughed and turned away never daring to look back.
