Chapter 12- The Problem

Jason

I'm Mushy Like Mac's Applesauce 3

School was just.. Horrible. First of all, Octavian had himself and a bunch of friends throw a giant protest about me dating Piper. Then a guy nearly beat me up. At least I got 100% on my test right?

After school everyone looked at me strangely. Everyone was saying I shouldn't be The head of student Council just because of dating Piper. I've been holding it back for a while but it's getting worst, and worst.

I'm in my dorm. A knock. I get up and open the door. "Reyna." I say curtly. Reyna doens't look to good. "Look, I know you're mad and everything but we really need to talk about... Your girlfriend." Reyna hisses the word 'Girlfriend' like it might kill her.

"What about her?" I ask. Reyna bites her lip. "Let me in, Please. i can't let anyone hear." Reyna mutters. I open the door. Frank was at archery club so we were alone. I sat down, as far as I could from her which in my case wasn't very far. "I think you need to break up with her." Reyna states bluntly. "What? You've come hear to tell me that? Well then, let me show you where the door is." I hiss.

Reyna bites her lip again. "All the mean boy's want to beat you up, they want to beat HER up too. Jason, I know you hate me right now but if you don't you and Piper could get seriously hurt." Reyna explains. They're planning on hurting her? That really means I don't have a choice, I can't let her get hurt. I sigh. "I'll-I'll talk to her..." I mutter. Something flickers in Reyna's eyes, but I couldn't quite tell what it was.

-TIME WARP-

"You called?" Piper asks. How am I going to tell her this? "Piper something's happening at school... And-And... We need to break-up..." I say quietly. Piper's smile fades. Her eyes look broken as tears form in them. "Why-Why?" Piper asks. "I-I-I can't tell you..." I mutter. A tear slips from Pipers's eye. I was going to wipe it away but Piper backed away from me. "Piper.." I whisper, grabbing her hand. She yanks it away with lot's of force. "Don't touch me." She growls.

"Piper I-" "Did you love me?" She whispers. "Did? Pipes, I love you." I tell her. "If you really love me you wouldn't do this.." Piper says, her voice cracking. "I guess I'm unwanted. I guess I'm not as special as... As... As Reyna.." Piper says.

Silence.

"Piper I-" "don't say it, because if you truly loved me, this wouldn't be happening." And with that Piper ran away.

-TIME WARPPPPPPPP-

It's been a week, and I feel alone. Hazel looks at me with disgust and Frank just talks quietly, bowing his head down. Was it wrong to break up with Piper? I can't let her get hurt. Me and Reyna just had a walk through the park together. At least it took my mind off of Piper. A bit.

"Oh! Let's go to Cherry De Pon!" Reyna suggests. Before I can agree She grabs my wrist and sprints over there. I'm laughing like crazy. When we get inside I hear talking Reyna stops and listens.

"HE DID WHAT!?" Someone screams. "Shush!" Someone says. "I think you popped my eardrum." Someone mutters. We walk into the room, Reyna still holding my wrist. Three people were sitting at a table. I noticed one of them. Ella. Ella shot my a look before whispering something to the person who's back was turned to me. The person's head instantly snapped up and slowly turned to look at me ad Reyna.

Piper.

Piper bites her lip picks up a bag and stands up. "Thanks for the ice cream, Ella." Piper mutters. The boy next to Ella just nods. Piper sprints past us. "How may I help you?" Ella hisses. "Umm... Just here for Ice cream.." Reyna mutters. "It's frozen yogurt." Ella mutters before turning around and going behind the register.

After me and Reyna get Frozen yogurt Reyna says she wants a bubble tea. "Be right back." ella says in a fake cheery voice. When Ella returns she dumps the bubble tea on me. "Whoops! I spilled." Ella says, venom dripping in her voice. "I'll get you another one." Ella tells Reyna.

-TIME WARP-

"Just let me talk to Piper." The girl crosses her arms. "MACCCCCC!" The girl shrieks. "Coming, Zoe!" Mackenzie calls back. I sigh. Soon Mackenzie's here. She eyes me before kicking me square in the chest. I bang into the wall. "What was that for!?" I ask. "How come Piper's not happy anymore!?" Zoe and Mac demand. "What?" I ask. "She's in Taylor Swift, Fake Smile, Wrecking Ball depression!" Mac and Zoe shout at me like it's obvious. "Idiot.." Zoe mutters.

"Is that a bad thing...?" I ask. Mackenzie's eyes widen. "HECK YES!" Both girls scream. "It means she's only singing tragic love songs, and sometimes she just breaks down and when you ask her whats wrong she says she's fine and when you see her she fakes a smile and you know it's fake by the crumbling look in her eyes." Mackenzie explains

"Now,' Zoe starts "Tell us what you did!" They both demand. "I..." I can't get the words out. "I broke up with her.." I mutter. "WHATTTT!?" both girls scream. Mac looks ready to kill me, turn me into a Jason pancake, maybe a Jason punching bag. Zoe holds her back. "So help me you are my next punching bag!" Mackenzie yells.

"I hear sniffles. Mackenzie and Zoe turn around. At the end of the hall is a crying Piper. Her eyes widen at the sight of us. "Excuse me..." Piper mutters pushing past us. "Piper!" I call. Piper stops, stiffens and sprints off. I sigh. Mackenzie sends me a look. "You are sooo lucky.." Zoe mutters as Mac chases after Piper.

I'm just an idiot...

-Piper's POV-

I kept running. I ran away from Mac, From Zoe, and From.. From 'Him' As I was running I bang into Percy. It seems Mac has stopped following me. "Percy..? You okay?" I notice his face is grim. "There's a woman planning on buying the school and destroying it. In the Middle of school." Percy says. I choke on my own breath. "What? In the middle of trimester? That's crazy!" I say. Percy nods. "We need to stop her." And it just seems, the problems have begun.

-Reyna's POV-

"Don't Touch me!" I yelp, backing away. "I was only joking." Hylla says. I shake my head. "Big sisters don't go around telling there friends to pull their younger sisters shorts down in public! I can't believe you!" I bark, running out the door. My thoughts begin to speed away, heart pounding because it hurts so much to know that my sister would do that. She was always having fun with her friends, pranking me but that went to far. I let out a cry as I dash into the forest. I climb a tree and start to sob. My phone buzzes.

Pebble.

I cock an eyebrow, tears still running down my face. A sob escapes my lips as another text.

Pebble.

I sigh, wiping my tears away when I hear someone say "Pebble." My eyes look down to see Conner. "Princess, Why you crying?" he asks, climbing the tree. "Go away, Conner." I choke, I'm not in the mood. "And miss this?" He asks. I cock an eyebrow. "Miss wha-" His lips smash to mind and it's like I'm sent back in time.

-Flashback-

"C'mon Princess." Conner says, nudging my shoulder. I laugh. "Okay, the prank was funny-" I stop as I see Jason walk by, waving a bit, his eyes look at Conner before snapping back to me. Once he leaves Conner laughs. "Jeez, we're in Middle-school, don't tell me you're having your own Cliche fairy tale." Conner exclaims as we walk to our jumbled lockers as the school refused to put them in alphabetical order. I frown. "He doesn't like me back." I state, shaking my head.

"But I know someone who does." Conner says quietly. I cock an eyebrow at him, letting my arm fall, still holding the heavy math book. "Who?" And suddenly Conner's head jerked forward, Lips gentle brushing against mine. He pulled back as is he were afraid, but only a bit so I was able to grab the collar of his shirt and smash my lips back to his.

And then we dated from the 7th grade until high-school as he ditched me for a school.

-End Of Flashback-

I kiss back before I push away. "Good-bye, Conner." I whisper, jumping from the tree and running away again. If only things could be easier.
