Ch. 14
Percy's POV
I walked with my arm protectively around Calypso as we walked down the hallway on Monday morning. Some students avoided our two figures as we walked, but most people stared at Calypso pityingly, and a small fraction of the students sneered at her whispering rude things about her in which they got a deathly glare from me. The douche bags turned their gaze away, and my arm grew tighter around her shoulders.
Annabeth and Piper approached us with smiles on their faces, pretending that the article never happened, to help Calypso get her mind off things. The four of us walked towards home room. We entered and I spotted Nico and Jason. The three of us haven't talked in a while, we kind of were letting each other do our own thing. Nico hung out with some guys that played a card game he was really into and Jason mostly hung out with Leo and Reyna.
Today was different though, Jason, Nico, and Leo approached our group. "Hey, Call. I saw the article. Don't worry, I'm positive Drew's looking for more gossip for the site and everyone will forget about it. I'm sure it'll die down," Leo said, trying to reassure Calypso. She smiled at him weakly and replied, "Thanks, Leo. I really appreciate it, but I don't mind everyone knowing. I really, really don't. It's just that I'm not used to the pity stares from everyone." I rub her shoulder and look at everyone in the group that came to support Callie.
Jason looks awkwardly towards Piper, but as soon as he sees that I've caught him, he snaps his gaze towards Calypso and Annabeth. I look at Annabeth as well, her princess curls flow down to her shoulders and her red t-shirt hugged her delicate frame. Not to say Annabeth was delicate, she was the total opposite. Her grey eyes made her intimidating and her killer intelligence made her untouchable to guys who didn't want their asses whooped.
I shook my head, leaving my thoughts behind, and I looked at my girlfriend as Annabeth started to speak, "Alright, folks! We need to talk about something else!" We looked at her cluelessly and she sighed and continued, "The dance?" Everyone groaned and I decided to ask, "I thought you weren't one for dances, Wise Girl?"
She smiled smugly and answered back, "Yup, but you left for a year and I can always take up a new hobby. Like getting the latest gossip on what everyone's gonna where?" We all looked at her with a 'come on' look and she rolled her eyes and starts to try and defend herself by saying, "Come on, I'm just trying to lighten up the mood! I would totally talk about the architecture of this school, " everyone groaned at this remark, "See? I know you guys hate it so instead, I just ask what you guys are gonna wear to the winter dance."
Annabeth looked around the group, looking for someone easy to talk to and she settles on her prey. "Jason! Jason Grace!" He gets startled by her exclamation and stumbles backwards, backing into some chairs. We laugh and once he gets himself composed again, he replies, "Wha? Annabeth! you don't have to shout my name!" She smiles smugly and says back, "Well, how do you expect me to get your attention? With chocolate? A brick?" He glares at her, I remember a few years back when Jason was younger, a brick fell out of a construction sight and hit him on the head, leaving him unconscious for a few hours.
Annabeth smiles slyly and then asks him, "So, what you and Queen Reyna going to wear? I suppose an elegant violet perhaps? Oh! Or maybe a royal blue!" Jason scratches his neck nervously and I look at him weirdly and ask, "Dude? What happened?" He answers back shyly, "Um, well, there might be a slight chance that we, um, broke up?" We all grow silent, how did that happen? Everyone thought that they would be together forever, they were the poster couple for falling in love eternally.
Piper asks him quietly, "Jason, how? Weren't you in love?" He chuckles and answers, "That's the thing about love, you never know how long it lasts." He looks at her hopefully and she smiles back, was something going on between them? Annabeth smirks at the conversation between the two, I catch her glaze and ask her silently 'What's up with them?' She rolls her eyes and mouths, "I'll tell you later." The bell rings and we all take our seats, ready for homeroom to begin.
Piper's POV
Jason is single. He's free, not taken. A free spirit that isn't attached to another girl. I didn't know what to think of it. After homeroom, I was about to exit the classroom but Jason blocked me from the entrance. "Hey, Pipes," he nervously smiled at me, making the scar above his upper lip disappear, just a little bit. "Um. Hey, Jason! So, you and Reyna eh?" He chuckles, which makes me smile a little bit and he replies, "Yep. It's for the best, you know. We were together for a long time," I nod, gesturing for him to continue, "We ended on good terms though. Well, we're still friends... I guess."
I smirk at him and say, "You haven't talked to her since the break up, have you?" He lets out a sigh and says, "Nope, not at all." I laugh and ask, "So, what're you going to do?" He shrugs and answers, "I dunno. Last time I read something about her, she was on a plane going back to LA. I think she's writing a new album." We stay silent for a few seconds, I interrupt it by saying, "So, I'll see you around, then?" Jason looked devastated, for some unknown reason, but then says back, "Yeah, yeah. See you around Pipes."
-TIMELAPSETIMELAPSEOOOATIMELAPSE-
Drama class was always one of my least favorite classes. Not only does acting remind me of my dad that was practically invisible, but I also am a horrible actress. You can ask anyone. The first time I did a play here, I got the lead because the teacher, Mr. Apollo, casted me because of my father, which was a big mistake. I sucked. Like, I really did, and now whenever we have a big show, I'm usually a tree. But hey, I'm not complaining. It's better than being in the center of attention.
Today we were reading from Romeo and Juliet, I know, oh-so very cliché. We were at the iconic scene when Romeo left Juliet at her window, or something like that. I had been nodding off slowly, but this scene in particular was really making me drowsy. I was just about to really fall asleep, but a familiar voice had spoken.
It was Jason. I had completely forgotten that he was saying Romeo's lines. He was talking about seeing Juliet tomorrow, or something like that. Or was it Drew talking as Juliet? I couldn't tell though, they both had manly voices. I look up to his face, just in time as he looked at me as well. He blushes, so of course I take it as the time to tease him and playfully wink at him. He turns a deeper red, which makes me laugh quietly.
"Ms. McLean, is there something funny about this scene that we should all know about?" says the annoyed drama teacher Mr. Apollo. I freeze, but then smoothly say, "Nothing at all Mr. Apollo. It was just that I thought it was a bit ironic that the said to each other that they would see each other tomorrow, and then when one of them dies, the other does as well. So, they literally see each other tomorrow." He rolls his eyes and I smirk at Jason. But before he let me completely off the hook, he says, "And for the last time, Ms. McLean. Call me Apollo." I nod and look back at my book or script or whatever it was.
Leo's POV
"Hey, Callie!" I say, she smiles widely and I look at her questioningly. She starts to say, "Do you remember when I told you about that experiment? The one with Piper and Jason?" I nod slowly and reply, "Yeah... So?" She sighs and says back, like it should have been obvious, "I have got the PERFECT plan! Help me?"
I sigh and answer back, "Obviously. I mean, Piper already agreed to it, so why not? What's your plan?" She excitedly squeals and whispers me her plan. I look at her impressed and then say, "Okay, I'll do it. On one condition, you give me your Sour Patch Kids." I grin and she looks at me astonished, "How'd you know?" I smirk and reply, "My spidey senses." She scoffs and pushes me lightly.
Okay, we've got six weeks until the dance and get Piper and Jason together. Oh may the gods help me.
A/N: Sorry if that last part was a bit boring, it was just a filler as the first two parts were more important. But, hopefully Piper was funny to you in the last part, I definitely think it was a bit OOC, but waddya gunna do? XD
ANYWAYS, I finally have a story schedule, the full one is up in my profile so definitely hit that up, but I will try to update this story each week (which is a lot better than what I've been actually been doing) (sorry about that by the way hehehe) So I will be hopefully updating this every week on either Saturdays or Sundays (depending on my schedule) and it will usually be Sundays, but it just depends haha
