Hey guys! I apologize for Piper being a bit girly but all the girls are supposed to have a certain personality and Thalia already has the tomboyish side, Annabeth, with the smart side, Calypso with the nice but sarcastic side, and finally Piper with a little touch of girly. I'll try to make her a bit more tomboyish in a couple more chapters.
Piper POV
I'm not girly. I'm not. But when it comes to my friends, I can be a total girl. I think I get it mostly from my mother, Aphrodite. She was also named after a Greek goddess like Annabeth's mom, Athena. My mother was probably named Aphrodite because she's absolutely stunning and is like a makeup perfectionist and stuff like that. I don't know; she can be more girly than I can and I'm a teenage girl.
Anyways, we went home after the long night at the diner. The boys drove us home and I can tell you my mom was freaking out when I got home. Right when I reached the door, my mother flung it open and squealed.
"WAS IT A BOY?!" she shrieked, jumping up and down excitedly. I rolled my eyes, expecting this from my mom.
"Yes, mom it was a boy." I said monotonously.
"OH I knew it. I just knew it. I told your father it was a boy because you would have called us and let us know and-"
She was rambling again. Just nod and smile, Piper, I thought to myself. Then, I remembered.
"Hey mom?"
She stared at me with her hands in the air from all her excited gestures. "Yes?"
"The boy- Jason- he's a part of a band called the Demigods and their producers heard me, Annabeth, Calypso, and Thalia perform," I said, watching my mom's face carefully, "Well, they want us to go on tour with them."
My mom's face was glowing. Like literally glowing. She took a huge step forward and squeezed me so hard, I couldn't breathe.
"MOM-can't-breathe," I gasped. She let go and smiled apologetically.
"Piper I'm so excited for you, honey! Of course, Tristan and I will buy all you girls some fashionable clothes and I'll obviously prepare the makeup and-"
"Mom, I'm sure the producers have everything covered."
"Oh right."
"I'm going to go sleep now," I told her, "Goodnight mom."
"Goodnight, my darling Piper." She smiled and kissed my forehead, rushing off to her room. I sighed and walked to my room. I was so exhausted, I just crashed onto my bed and fell asleep.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I slammed my fist on the clock and stood up, rubbing my eyes and yawning. I trudged towards the huge mirror and I'll be honest with you, I looked like a hideous beast. My hair was a rat's nest, my clothes were twisted backwards, and my breath smelled like Thalia's shoe, which is pretty much the worst thing I have ever smelled. I jogged to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. Then, I walked back to my room a little more awake. Right when I walked in, my mom flung the door open.
"I'm gonna give you a makeover today darling!" My mom's hands were clasped and her face, ecstatic. I was horrified.
"Mom, I do-"
"Piper," my mom warned. I knew that she wouldn't let me back down.
"Fine," I grumbled. My mother squealed and rushed over. She pulled out two dresses from who knows where and asked me my opinion.
"Neither," I muttered, crossing my arms.
"The white one it is!"
"Ugh."
"Piper, dear, put this on. Hurry now!" My mom thrust the dress in my hand and pushed me into the closet. I quickly changed into it and opened the door.
"Perfect!"
"Ugh."
"Now for the makeup," she said, scanning the makeup she brought from her bathroom.
The next few minutes, she kept throwing stuff on my face. It was really uncomfortable.
"Done! NOW the hair." She pulled on my hair and braided it, cleanly to the side. She then placed a gleaming silver headband on my hair.
"Can I look at the mirror now?" I asked her, impatiently, waiting to see how ugly I looked.
She nodded, happily and leaded me toward the mirror. I stood and stared at the reflection that awaited me. I kinda looked pretty. My white dress had a pretty sweetheart neckline and it fit my body nicely and snugly. It went up to my knees. My hair was neatly braided to the side with a tint of glitter I guess my mother sprinkled on me. The headband sparkled from the light projected from my window. I had glittery stuff over my eyes which I guessed was eyeshadow and my eyelashes stood out.
"Um thanks mom," I said, smiling internally.
"You're welcome, sweetie. You look gorgeous!"
I grabbed my backpack and some black converse and headed out to our tree. Annabeth, Thalia, and Calypso were waiting, checking their watches.
"Sorry I'm late!" I shouted, walking as fast as I could in the dress. They turned and raised their eyebrows. They knew my mother had issues.
"Aphrodite?" They asked and I nodded. They looked at me sympathetically.
"Are we gonna walk?" I asked.
"Nope. The boys are picking us up," Annabeth said, checking her phone, "And here they are."
The limo pulled up and Jason, Percy, and Leo hopped out.
"Hey guys!" Percy smiled, grabbing Annabeth's hand.
"Calypso, girl, you look fab," Leo joked, earning him a punch from a blushing Calypso.
"Pip-" Jason's jaw fell before he finished his sentence and I could feel the heat rising from my cheek.
"Hi Jason," I said shyly.
"Why- you- I- wow," Jason sputtered.
"It's my mom. Y'know Aphrodite? World-famous makeup artist? Yeah, her fault," I scowled.
"No, no. You're- you're a knockout!" He blushed realizing what he said. Leo snickered behind him and the girls awwed.
"Thanks Jason," I smiled.
"Ahem," Thalia coughed, "We should get going."
"Yeah," Percy opened the door and let us slip through.
"So I assume Beauty Queen will now be a proper nickname," Jason teased me.
"Shut up, Sparky," I scowled, punching him in the gut.
"Um where are you going for your date tonight, Percy?" I asked, desperately trying to change the subject.
"It's a surprise," Percy winked at Annabeth.
"Well, what should we do while we wait for them?" Nico asked. Me and Calypso looked at each other, quickly.
"MOVIE NIGHT!" we shouted causing the boys to cover their ears. Thalia and Annabeth rolled their eyes.
"Um movie night it is," Jason said, wincing.
"Hey we're here," Thalia pointed out. We all raced out of the car to avoid the pap and we rushed into school. Once the doors opened we split up.
Jason and I were walking towards our classroom and most eyes were on me. It was nerve racking. Boys were staring at me and whistling while the girls were boring jealous stares at me. Jason put his arm around me, protectively, but I kept my head tall. No one intimidates Piper McLean.
"Hey Piper," a voice said behind me. I spun around knowing the hideous voice.
"Drew," I replied, scowling.
Oh Aphrodite. Our favorite goddess of them all xD Okay hope you enjoyed :)
