Hey! I'm back for chapter twelve. I got the awesome idea for this chapter (all except for the beginning with Jason and Harmie) from the also awesome Kelsey daughter of Poseidon. I want to thank her sososo very much! I know this took a while to update. I'm really sorry. I write this story on my Kindle Fire and there's something up with it... whatever. On to the story!
Disclaimer: I. Do. Not. Own. It.
Harmie POV
I stare, not quite rudely, but definitely not kindly, at the group on the cabin three porch. It is Piper, that Aphrodite daughter, with Annabeth and Percy Jackson. Next to Jackson was that annoying daughter of Poseidon, Kelly. I wanted Valdez as soon as he got here! She, however, just fell. Into his arms, and into love.
I have eye contact with Piper. There have been stories going like wildfire about her, Jason Grace and some girl named Reyna since last night. They seem to get stranger and stranger the more time passes. I am about to go and ask Piper what really happened, when they all walk inside the cabin.
I stand there a for a few minutes, thinking about how guilty Piper might be for the Jason problem before I see Lexi, a daughter of Aphrodite, about the only one aside from Piper who isn't all 'clothes! Makeup! Hair!' All the time. She walks up to cabin three and knocks on the door.
She is let in by her half sister. I look at Piper one last time. I search her face for a flicker of guilt, but I can see I'm making her uncomfortable. She quickly shuts the door. I look out and see none other than Jason walking across the field. I see a great chance to get the real story. He is always really cool about hanging out with the not as important demigods- also known as anyone other than Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Leo and himself.
"Jason!" I yell and wave him over. He jerks his head back to look at me. His face sparks with recognition. He begins to make his way over. He smiles, glancing at cabin ten.
"Hey, Harmie. What's up?" He looks... confused? Maybe a bit shaken? I don't know.
"I'm well. More importantly, how are you? I heard you had a rough night?" I ask.
Jason cringes a little. "Y-yeah. Can we talk inside?" He asks. I nod and we walk into my cabin. He sits down in an orange chair at one of the tables. I sit in the chair across from him.
"So, what happened? I'm all ears," I say, wanting to understand what's making one of the toughest guys I've ever met cry and look wearier that an Annabeth after Luke's death. And I thought that face was sad.
"Okay, so basically, back at Camp Jupiter, I was kind of, sort of, not really dating Reyna, the other praetor... so now she shows up here when I'm with Piper, and so I get Piper to leave so I can talk to Reyna. Reyna totally freaks out at me, screaming and yelling about me leaving and supposedly cheating on her. Then she sees Piper coming back to see me and so she kisses me! Piper saw and went insane! She was crying and sobbing." He said, pausing for a moment.
"Whoa. Is Reyna evil or crazy in love with you?" I ask, feeling horrible for the hard- faced boy across from me. I laugh, trying to lighten the mood.
He laughs mirthlessly. "Both, I think. But especially insane." There is a cold shine in his eyes, like he can't take another annoyance or he'll explode.
"So what happened next?"
"Reyna and I yelled for a while but then we heard Hazel and Frank and hid. They had this love moment but then left. Then we yelled more. I can't believe no one heard us!" He smiles, but only for a moment. Back to stone. "Then we said that we would fight like real fighters, in the sword arena, at six a.m. Then I went to bed. Aphrodite popped into my dream to yell-"
"That's a lot of yelling!" I cut him off. Seeing his face, I added, "Sorry, go on!"
"So, Aphrodite yelled and then a dove pooped on me... it was fifteen minutes until I had to be at the arena. I got there, beat Reyna. Then she made me feel bad for leaving and dating Piper. Then she said she would get me back, whatever it takes," he shivers. "So right after she leaves, I hear a scream, Piper's scream-"
"Oh, I heard that, too!" I cut Jason off again. "Sorry..."
"Anyway, I find her in her cabin, covered in sweat, bawling. She had a nightmare that I left her for a Harpy with Reyna's head that killed her while I laughed. Then she started yelling at me. Just like everyone else...l Then Drew, Lacy and Mitchell ganged up on me! Then she tricked me into saying that I loved Reyna. Then they threw me out.
"So I went back into my cabin. Then the goddess of annoying frickin' love pulled me in for another chat... I told her I loved Piper then she called me an idiot and I was back here. Get it now?" He asks.
"Wow..." I remark. "Just... wow. You got the bad end of that deal..."
Lexi POV
I wake up bright and early for the plan. We all meet at cabin three, all being Percy, Kelly Annabeth, Piper, Connor and I.
"Okay, everyone know where they're going and what to do?" Annabeth asks. We all nod. "Then... let's do this!"
Now Percy and I are outside of cabin one. Our job is to get Jason to the forest.
"Percy, did you hear about Piper and Connor?" I ask in a loud voice.
"No, Lexi! What's going on?" Percy replies.
"Oh, you don't know! Well after Jason was so bad to her, Connor was comforting her and he cheered her up! They're hanging out in the forest today! It'll be the perfect date!" I say, so loud that everyone in a fifty foot radius probably can hear me.
Piper POV
Connor and I are on the porch of cabin eleven. We are waiting for Jason to walk out of his cabin. I go over the plan again in my head. I feel like crying at the thought, 'so this is what it's come to...'
I see Jason step out of the cabin one door. It's our queue and we begin walking to the forest, hand in hand. "Connor, you're so sweet to plan this! You're the best guy ever!" I say, cuddling up to him as we walk.
"No problem, Piper. I really love hanging out with you. Spending a day with a wonderful dame such as yourself is a privilege!" Connor replies. I think he may be laying it on a bit thick. I laugh and plant a quick kiss on his cheek.
"This picnic is going to be amazing!" We walk by cabin one and I see Jason duck down. I resist the urge to laugh. We enter the forest, nodding inconspicuously to Annabeth and Kelly as we pass.
Kelly POV
Annabeth and I are in the trees at the edge of the forest, so that we can be heard without being seen. We watch as Piper and Connor pass by acting all romantic and cute. I have to try really hard not to crack up. Harder than it sounds!
Soon after, Jason comes tiptoeing up to the forest. This is our queue! I look at Annabeth and we nod.
"Hey, Kelly!" She says.
"Oh, hey Annabeth! How are you?" I reply.
"Oh, I'm great! And you?"
"I'm awesome. Hey, did you just see Piper and Connor? Those two are so cute together!" I say, using my best 'girly' voice. I see Jason pause.
"Oh, yeah!" Annabeth replies. "She is so much better to her than Jase ever was. I've never seen Connor be so nice to anyone in his life! Do you think he'll kiss her?"
Jason's face goes red and he looks ready to rip someone's head off. Perfect. I really want to let out a wicked cackle, but force my silence for a bit longer. Jason stomps the ground so hard that he breaks an almost six- inch thick branch. Ouch... He runs into the woods.
Once Jason is out of earshot, I turn to Annabeth. "Mission accomplished!" I smile. We hug.
Okay, I'm really tired and I'm going to the beach early tomorrow so I'll cut off here. There will be more soon because I'm pretty sure I know what'll happen. I think this chapter is pretty long, but I'm not completely sure. Anyway, hope you liked this chappy and thanks again Kelsey Daughter of Poseidon. You are amazing! Thanks and please review what you think so far. Do you think you know what will happen? You may be surprised!- Abby;)
