chinfev1203: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you love it. Thanks for promoting it on Twitter! I don't have twitter though... :P
Goddess Of Talk: Thanks for reviewing! That's a good idea, but I'm not using it. Sorry. Zac Efron was one of the top guys to Finnick, but I don't think he's playing him though... :( I wanted Chace Crawford to play Finnick! He's hot! :D
xXAnnabethJacksonXx: Thanks for reviewing! Maaayyybeee... I dunno. I might take a short break from writing for about a few weeks, because of the overwhelming schoolwork. ==. Might being the keyword. But my next holiday is the end of next month. Hmm... a shirtless Leo? :D
LazySundayGirl: Thanks for reviewing! No, Thalia was just spying like she usually does. I don't mention it because Piper doesn't notice her spying. :P
IamPiperdaughterofAphrodite: Thanks for reviewing! I'm guessing you're one of those girls who like dresses? Hehe... I don't like them. The only dress I have at home is the one I wore to my primary school farewell two years ago... And that was the last time I wore it. I want Chace Crawford or Zac Efron to play Finnick! No, it has nothing to do with the dress. Pearl milk tea is this Asian drink with milk, tea and sugar. There are also these black circle thingos and you can chew on them. Search it up. LOL. Coincidental much?... Or was it the Fates? :)
a. 'x: Thanks for reviewing! OHMYGODS! Smart person right here! You have received a dedication, even if it was only half right. LOL. Sexy And I Know It is definitely his song! Sorry about your name again.. :P
I am Travis son of Hermes: Thanks for reviewing! Pearl milk tea is basically an Asian drink with milk, tea and sugar and in the drink there are these black edible things and you chew them. Haha, search it up. :D
WritingIsMyPassion15: Thanks for reviewing! Haha, everyone wanted Leo and Piper to get together sooner. In the reviews where they were fake dating, there were at least 2 people asking, 'Are they gonna get together?' :D

We walked home from school after school. Annabeth, Katie and I went upstairs to my room, while the guys went next door to get ready for the dance as well.
We had hidden our costumes in the furthest corner of my closet. And when I said furthest corner of my closet, I meant behind a million clothes. I had to crawl underneath them and to the back of my claustrophobic closet.
"Here are the dresses," I said as I passed them the bags. I ran to my window and opened it, inhaling the fresh air outside.
"Okay, we have three hours. Eh... that should be no time with Piper here to do make up and hair," Annabeth stated.
I jolted up. I was lying on my bed throwing a tennis ball to the wall and catching it just then. I completely forgot about the ball and it rebounded off the wall, and onto my shoulder, which was really painful.
"Ow," I winced.
"Hey! Who said I was doing make up and hair?" I complained.
"I did. You're the best at it anyway." Uhh... I hated the fact how my mum was so good with fashion and make up. That ran through the genes and now I had that skill. I mean, I didn't not like it, but I definitely didn't love it.
"Fine."
We each took our showers, not too long and not too short and we put our dresses on.
I straightened Katie's hair dead straight and curled the tips. Then, I tied her brown hair back into a low loose ponytail that went down her left shoulder. She applied her own mascara, gold eye shadow and a tint of foundation. I could already just picture Travis drooling over his girlfriend. I snickered internally.
Now for Annabeth. I curled her already naturally curly blonde hair into sleeker and glossier waves. I sprinkled a bit of gold glitter onto her hair, making it sparkle and shine more. In a while, she had blood red lipstick on, smoky eyes, mascara and gold necklace on. Hmm... looks like I did a great job. Not that I was bragging, of course.
"It's amazing. Thanks Piper," she beamed at me.
I shook my head, "It's okay. Now, it's my turn."
I straightened my hair dead straight and left it down, like I usually did. I added some silver glitter, black eyeliner, mascara, lip gloss and a small amount of blush. Not too much. It was just how I liked it.
The doorbell rang a few minutes later, surprising us all.
"That was so fast," Katie said.
"Yeah. Time flies by so fast. Apart from school, of course..." I commented.
Annabeth frowned and asked, "What's wrong with school?"
I rolled my eyes, "Everything."
I put on my shoes. They were glittery navy blue flats with bows on them. I grabbed my black purse and ran down the stairs to get to the door. I opened the door breathlessly.
"Hey," I panted, taking in their appearances. They looked really nice.
"Hey, Pipes. You look amazing!" Travis greeted me with a smile.
"Yeah. You look really nice," Percy complimented me.
"Thanks," I said, giving them each a hug, before they went off to find their own girlfriends.
I turned to Leo, to find him staring at me with his mouth slightly open. I'm pretty sure everyone was smart enough to know that he was drooling. His eyes raked down my body and I used this time to check him out too. He looked really hot.
When I looked back up, he still had his eyes glued on me.
I smirked, "You done drooling there?"
That snapped him out of his daze and he wiped his mouth, giving me a sheepish look. I snickered.
"Hey, Beauty Queen. You look beautiful," he said, grinning.
"Is that why you were so speechless?"
"Yep. Your beauty is so overwhelming, it left me speechless," he said dramatically.
I snicked again and muttered under my breath, "Cheesy, much?"
"Hey! I was trying to be romantic and you ruined it!" he exclaimed, mock glaring at me.
I smiled up at him and leaned up to kiss him on the lips. He grinned at me when I pulled away.
"We should go now," he said before shouting for the others to hurry up.
When we entered the gym, I was really nervous and Leo could already feel my body tense up because he asked me, "Beauty Queen, are you okay?"
I forced out a smile and squeaked out a, "Yes!"
"Okaayyy," he drawled out the word, uncertainly.
We walked over to the refreshments table and I grabbed some punch. It tasted really weird and different from what I usually had.
"Someone spiked the punch," Leo said. I nodded. It was surprising that Leo didn't drink. Pretty much all the guys and a lot of the girls drink.
"How come you're not drinking?" I asked him.
"You want me to drink?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow up.
"No. It's just that many guys would drink."
"In case you haven't noticed, I'm not most guys. And to answer your question, I don't drink because of Katie," he replied. Oh, that explained it.
"Ohh... I see."
That was when the all too familiar tune of a song blasted out of the speakers.
Coz baby tonight
The DJ's got us fallin in love again
So dance, dance
Like it's the last, last
Night of your life, life don't get you right
Coz baby tonight
The DJ's got us fallin in love again
"I dare you to dance to it," Leo told me.
I looked at him, "No."
"Aww... come on. You're really good."
"Yeah, but I don't dance in front of people." At this, he pouted. So to cheer him up I kissed him.
"Yo what up my people? Grab a partner and dance!" the DJ announced, trying to be 'cool'. It was a failed attempt. More Than This by One Direction came up. Even though the song wasn't a really slow one, many couples were on the dance floor slow dancing.
I'm broken, do you hear me?
I'm blinded, coz you are everything I see
I'm dancing alone, I'm praying
That your heart will just turn around
Forme, those lyrics weren't true. Leo and I's relationship was perfect. I wasn't dancing alone.
And as I walk up to your door
My head turns to face the floot
Cause I can't look you in the eyes and say
When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this, yeah
When he lays you down
I must just die inside
It just won't feel right
Cause I can't love you more than this
Can love you more than this
If I saw him with another girl, it definitely wouldn't feel right. I'd probably become a depressing person and suicide or something.
If I'm louder, would you see me?
Would you lay down
In my arms and rescue me?
Cause we are the same
You save me
When you leave it's gone again
And when I see you on the street
In his arms, I get weak
My body fails, I'm on my knees
Prayin'
The rest of the song played its way through. It held so much emotion and meaning. I laid my head on Leo's shoulder with my around his neck and his around my waist. In the middle of the song, I took a glimpse at Reyna in a short black skirt with her hands all over Jason. She smirked and winked at me.
"I'm going to go to the ladies' room," I excused myself.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here," he said with a smile.
I made my way through the crowd, weaving through couples making out and dancers. It was hard trying to get to the bathroom. Suddenly, I felt an all to familiar hand grip my wrist tightly. Oh, crap.
I froze. My eyes widened and my heartrate accelerated, as a low, husky voice said, "Well, what do we have here?"
The only thought I had in mind was, Oh shit. I am in big trouble.
Muahahahahaha! Hehee.. I'm really evil. I realised that I've had like 10 cliffhangers in the story so far. :)
But don't worry it won't be long until I update. :D
Song for the Chapter: More Than This by One Direction
OKAY PEOPLE READ THIS!
A lot of you reviewers have asked if there's going to be a sequel or not. There will be no sequel.
But since so many people love this story so much, I'm deciding to do something a bit fun. There are 2 choices.
1. One shot competition - you guys will choose your own chapter and rewrite it from a different character's POV. When you're done, you will upload it and send me the link to it via review or PM. I'll read all of them and the one I think is best will be uploaded onto the story.
2. You guys choose a scene/chapter that I should rewrite and tell me which character's POV you want me to write it from.
I personally like the one shot competition, so I can see your creativity, but hey, it's your choice! You can tell me which one you would like via review or vote on my poll!
READ AND REVIEW! :D
