Chapter 3
Joseph's punishment for stealing cookies was *drum roll* he had to make a new batch of blue cookies and he wasn't allowed to eat a single crumb.
His siblings would have given him a worse punishment but their parents had interfered and Joseph's dad, Percy Jackson, decided on the punishment.
At the moment, Joseph was watching his siblings eat cookies while thinking about the girl he had saw at the resturant. He didn't even know her name and his heart was beating fast at the mere thought of her. Her gorgeous curls, the way she smiled, she made his heart flutter.
He was dragged out of his thoughts as Melody snapped her fingers in front of his face.
"What?" Joseph asked.
"You zoned out on us." Zoe explained. "We've been trying to get your attention for ten minutes."
"What were you thinking about?" Melody asked.
Joseph blushed a deep red as he thought about the girl.
"Ooh, do you have a crush?" Luke asked.
"What! No, I don't have a crush on anybody!" Joseph said shaking his head.
"You do! My big brother finally has a crush on someone!" Melody said celebrating.
"I do not!" Joseph denied it.
"Who is she? Is she pretty? Does she go to our school?" Zoe asked.
Joseph sighed and gave up trying to hide it.
"I don't know who she is. She is very pretty. And I don't know if she goes to our school or not." Joseph said.
"You must have some idea who she is!" Melody exclaimed.
"The only thing I know about her is that she's a cashier at my favorite resturant. And that she's probably never going to talk to me because you three dragged me out of there." Joseph said ducking his head.
Melody, Zoe, and Luke looked dismayed when they heard this. After a moment, Zoe clapped her hands together and said.
"The three of us are going to get you two together. But first we need to know what she looks like."
Joseph got a dreamy look in his eyes as he said.
"She has gorgeous curly brown hair with baby blue eyes and she has a pretty small figure. She's a little shorter than me and she's just... just..."
"Ok you really have it bad for this girl." Melody declared before he could finish. "Which means that we will try even harder to get you two together."
The four of them were silent for a moment and then Luke snapped his fingers and said.
"The first thing we need to do is take you back to that resturant and get you to actually talk to her."
Joseph paled dramatically and shook his head, taking a few steps back. He didn't think he could talk to her that much. If he did, he would probably sound like a complete idiot.
"Oh come on Joe, if you don't talk to her, the two of you probably won't get together." Melody said smiling.
"I'll sound like an idiot." Joseph muttered.
"So? Dad probably sounded like an idiot the first time he met mom." Zoe pointed out.
"Yeah but dad's idiocy is part of his charm. At least according to mom, it is." Joseph said. "If I talk like an idiot, she'll never like me."
"Joseph Tyler Jackson!" Zoe yelled at him, hitting him on the head. "She's not going to dislike you just because you're an idiot. In fact, she might like you more."
"Do you really think so?" Joseph asked.
"I know so." Zoe replied. "Now, let's go talk to that girl."
