Chapter 14-part one

Piper

He was 15 minutes late. Yup. So while Kate, Juniper, Thalia (with, a short notice date from Nico) and Annabeth left I got to wait on Kate's doorstep. Curse Jason and his ability to get on my nerves.

"You're late," I say as he pulls up.

"Sorry mom," he says rolling his eyes. I get up from the step and brush my dress off. Its snow white with a thin braided gold belt and it goes down to about my knees.

"Figures-" I snap back. "-only you would take your mom to a dance." He looks me up and down.

"You look nice." He says grudgingly as I open the door and climb in.

"Yeah, I know," I say grinning and he just rolls his eyes and pulls the car into reverse. I feel my phone buzzing and I look down.

1 text from: Thalia Grace

[Bro, u here yet?]

I smiled and unlocked my phone.

[ur idiot brother just got here -_-] I texted back. The response came almost immediately.

1 text from: Thalia Grace

[lolololol :D] I'm about to answer when I get a text from Annabeth.

1 test from: Annabeth Chase

[OMG! Thalia just got kissed]

"Yesss," I say and happily texted Annabeth back.

[Nico!?]

1 text from: Annabeth Chase

[mistletoe! ^_^! So darn cute!]

[Thalia, that sly lil dog!]

"You seem excited," Jason says nodding at my phone. "Talking 'bout me?" I rolled my eyes.

"No. Your homeboy Nico just laid one on Thalia!" I sing jumping up and down in my seat.

"Gross," he says shaking his head then flicks his sunglasses back over his eyes. We pull up near the school and Jason parks near the front.

"Let's get this over with," I say waiting as Jason gets out and walks around to open my door. I may not like-this but I know the drill.

"Thank you, my knight in shining armor" I say as I step out.

"No prob." He says winking then shoots me a lopsided grin. I roll my eyes and pretend that his smile had no effect on me. I give him a one over; he looks pretty smoking hot in his black jeans, black jacket, black shirt and silver tie. He casually slips his hand through mine and we start towards the building.

"Heyy!" Thalia says running up to me her cheeks happily flushed. She looks incredibly sleek in a black floor length one shoulder ruched mermaid gown with sequin strap. I detach from Jason and give her a quick hug. While my arms are still around her I spot Nico coming up behind her looking sharp in the same outfit as Jason except his tie is black. I wave and pull back, and then I give him a knowing look. He blushes but I have no time to threaten him before Annabeth comes up behind me and scares the heck out of me.

"Piper!" I whirl around and see her wearing a charcoal gray halter dress, her hair is let out of its usual pony tail and curls naturally.

"Hey you look great!" I say and pull her into a quick hug. I spot Jason giving Annabeth's boyfriend those weird guy handshakes/one armed hugs. And they thing we're awkward. Percy looks good wearing the same outfit as Jason and Nico except his tie is sea green which really does nothing to make him look bad. I link an arm with Annabeth and say-looking the guys over and laughing.

"Oh-sweet-matching haircuts for everybody," Everyone starts laughing and the "DJ" starts playing another round of classical music. I roll my eyes and everyone groans.

"Chill-I got this," I grab Jason's hand and drag him through the nearly deserted dance floor. As we reach the DJ stand I step up to the booth and say to the middle aged man sitting there and reading the newspaper.

"Do you mind?" I say and point and the turntables.

"Be my guest- this party blows," I smile and quickly plug my phone in and crank the volume up. Pitbull's, Don't Stop the Party blasts through speakers and everyone lunges towards the dance floor.

I turn back to Jason who's leaning against the door and grin.

"This is how you work a room," I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Not bad," he says and slides his hand though mine again. "Come on lets got act all coupley in front of Reyna."

Okay… first I better apologize for this 4 month intermission- yeah I know, I'm a bad person! And next this is only chapter 13.5, there's another .5 so chill. I actually wrote 14 a couple weeks ago I just couldn't write this chapter- I had some extreme case of writers block :(. Anyways- here it is I hope you liked it! Oh and the pics of the dresses links are one my profile page so tots check that out!

R&R!
