Hell no!

Chapter 32. Complaining, teasing and answers (Will)

I woke up bright and early like always. I made myself some breakfast and went back to my room. I studied for some time because I always do in the morning, and then got dressed. I went to the kitchen and made myself some lunch for today. I put it in my backpack along with a bottle of water and a banana.

In the bus Jason wouldn't stop talking about the day before, but I got the feeling he didn't tell us everything about the afternoon with Piper.

''Her father was going full on interrogator on me. it was kinda scary to be honest.'' Jason said.

''I can understand. Most of the time fathers want to know about a possible boyfriend for their daughter.'' Percy said.

''That's just what most parents do, they are protective of their children,'' I followed.

When we got to school we went to our lockers to dump our stuff and get our books for the first two periods. Social Studies and Science.

With Social Studies we watched a movie or documentary or something about the school system in Europe. It is very different there than it is over here in the US. They have all sorts of… Oh, whatever. It was just an introduction to the new chapter.

With Science we were mixing chemicals and testing if substances were metals. It was fun and those safety glasses and lab coats were looking hilarious on Jason and also on Percy. Jason the combination with his golden framed glasses underneath the safety goggles, and that lab coat, he looked just like a scientist. And Percy just looked ridiculous. Plain ridiculous. I can't even explain how weird he looks. I did most of the work, as I want to become a doctor so I need to know this kind of thing. They however….

Then it was lunch time. It was weird. Me, Jason and Percy sat with Nico and his friends at a table. Then Drew came by, flirting with Jason again. But Jason isn't interested in her. He's (obviously) interested in Piper, but Drew doesn't understand. She doesn't understand that someone can just not be interested in her. Then Jason stood up.

''Drew, could you leave, I am trying to have a conversation with Piper here and you are disrupting us all.''

Drew looked very offended and then with a ''Puh'' and a raised head she walked off, looking as if she didn't understand what had just happened.

The rest of us had just been staring at the whole thing and we didn't say a word. But when Drew was away we all laughed loudly at her antics. It was in one word, hilarious, to see. All 13 of us were still talking about it until the bell sounded. Then everyone went to their respective classes.

Which in my case meant Economics from that hag. Sorry, that isn't nice, but she isn't nice. I handed in my homework and then I sat down. It was a boring lesson, about price and quality differences. I really tried to pay attention, but I just couldn't, it was too boring.

Then I had Physics, which meant talking all lesson with Jason and Percy. We were talking, more like whispering a conversation. About how Jason is going on a date with Piper on Friday. Then we talked about how Percy should ask out Annabeth, he said he's very interested in her, but that he is also kinda scared of her. She seems super strong and analytic on top of being a total genius. Then we talked about Drew.

''She's such an attention seeker.'' I said.

''Totally. Remember when she was all into me, for like a month and then she didn't like me all of a sudden anymore? First she was constantly flirting with me, and then she started ignoring me. I like it this way better, but still,'' Percy said.

''Yeah, and now for the last three weeks she's been constantly talking to me, or well, she is trying to talk with me, but I just find her annoying.'' Jason complied.

''I don't really mind people who want to talk to me, but she's so pushy. And Drew's constantly flirting with everyone. Who'd want someone like that? But the part that she needs attention so much is the worst.'' I really hope she is going to stop doing that, but she unfortunately probably won't.

''And even though we tell her all the time that we're not interested…'' Percy started.

''She won't listen to that. She just won't stop talking to you, even when you're talking with someone else!'' Jason finished.

''Like this lunch, you were talking to Piper, and you were flirting with her –'' Percy said.

Jason got a little red. ''I wasn't flirting with her,'' he said in a hushed voice.

''Sure you weren't!'' I said while sticking out my tongue.

''Anyway,'' Percy said, ''you were flirting with her, and she just interrupted your private conversation to get some extra attention. She is way to needy.''

''I just don't get why she'd need that much attention.'' I said, but then the bell rang.

''Finally, the day's over!'' Percy exclaimed. ''I can go home and –''

''You have to make your homework,'' Jason deadpanned.

''Why do you always have to spoil my fun?'' Percy wined. Just like a five-year-old…

''Well, it's the truth,'' Jason said. ''And you also have to go back tomorrow…''

''Well, now my day is ruined…'' Percy said sadly, pretending to cry.

They go on like that until we reach our lockers. Why can't they act like normal teenagers? I get my books out of my locker and then stuff them in my bag.

''Hurry up, you guys, you two can bicker later. Otherwise we'll miss the bus!''

''Sure. Hey are we gonna hang out now? We can make our homework together and then, I don't know, make pizza or something?'' Percy asked. Well, sometimes he does have good ideas...

''I suppose,'' I start slowly. ''My place this time? Dad isn't home and mom won't be back before 6. We'll have the house all to ourselves.''

Percy and Jason high fived and I just walked to the bus. We sat down and at my stop we got out, and I couldn't be happier, because those two had been constantly talking about those two girls.

About how pretty/beautiful they are, how smart, how clever, how much they are themselves. That they don't give a shit about others. Jason said that Piper could be the most popular bitchy girl, with her dad and all, but that she was so normal, so against it all. Percy said that Annabeth was super-duper smart and that she could easily brag about it all the time, but that she didn't, that she just acted as if it was natural.

I had, in the meantime, been thinking about Nico. He totally doesn't care about what anyone thinks of him, and he does what he deems right. Not to mention that beneath that dark and somewhat gloomy appearance he's a little dorky. He has an amazing laugh and smile, but I don't think many people have ever seen it. He's also not that easy to decipher, but that's okay, he's been through a lot. And even though he's been through so much, he's still going on. He is strong, and also very mysterious. And oh my gods, he's so cute, but also hot, and adorable, and his hair is so dark and I… I don't even know if he is into me… So before this goes any further, I need to figure that out.

So I make a mental to do list:

- Find out if Nico is straight/gay/bi/pan

- Try to figure out if he might like me (maybe ask Hazel or Piper or Annabeth?)

- Figure out a way on how to tell Nico I like him

At home I grab us some snacks and something to drink. We then go up to my room and make our homework together, in record time I might add. Then we play some video games until I hear mom come home. We go downstairs to greet her and then make dinner.

''Hey mom,'' I greet her with a hug.

''Hey Naomi!''

''Hello Naomi.''

''Hey boys, how was school?''

''Uneventful today.'' Jason answers. ''But yesterday, after school, now that was eventful…''

''Yeah, you got to meet the father of your new girlfriend~, Jay,'' Percy teases.

''She's not my girlfriend!''

''Yet!'' Percy and I say at the same time.

''Piper and I are friends,'' Jason desperately tries to deny.

''How about your date?'' I ask him. I had no idea if he even has a date with her, but just to tease a little…

''How… how did you find out about that?'' Jason asks me, getting a little red.

''Wait, you are actually going on a date with Piper?'' I said loudly.

''Yes. I… why did you ask if you didn't know?''

''I think that William,'' mom said. Oh, I might have gone too far. I know I've gone too far, for mom nearly never calls me William since I don't like it, only when I'm in trouble. ''was just teasing you and tried to get you to say you didn't ask her yet.''

''But it worked!'' Percy said happily. ''So tell us about this date with Piper. How did you ask her? And when is your date?''

We made dinner and while making it, Jason told us about how he'd asked her out and that she had seemed to be expecting it and that she said yes immediately. Then he explained that he was going to pick her up on Friday with his sisters car, which Percy and I agree on is amazing, and that they are going to the movies. Jason said he'd talked about it with Thalia yesterday and that she'd helped him formulate a plan for the date.

When he was done explaining the pizza was almost ready and we readied the table for dinner. I got the plates, Percy got the glasses (but Jason took over after Percy dropped one which broke), Jason got and filled the water can and mom took out the pizza knife. Dad was to come home late, so we saved him some pizza.

After dinner we talked some more and around 8 Percy's mom called him, a little distressed. She didn't know that he was going to be at my place and she was very worried. We explained and Percy promised to come home, so Jason left with him. I watched the news with mom (nothing much, just your non interesting national news, and something about the military) and then I went to my room. I read some more for Biology tomorrow, as we're going to extract plant DNA which I find very interesting and super cool. Then I watched two older DreamWorks Dragons episodes and went to bed. But dad was still not home, so he probably has a late shift or something.

Tomorrow's a new day!

AN: I have changed chapter 17, wich was the wrong one before, so sorry about that!

So, I've been busy this past week, seeing as the night before last we did our Sinterklaas (kinda like Santa Claus but it's the original and it's earlier, dec. 5th/6th) gift exchange surprise thing with my family and my boyfriend's family (it was really fun btw). But I had to make not only my own, also my brother needed help (meaning I made most of his too, 'cause he's as creative as a potato (no offense to the potatoes that are creative)) and I made the game. So that took a lot of time this week, also, I am bad at poetry, and I made a poem about my gifts of about 40-50 lines. So I had nearly no time to write, but this chapter I wrote a while ago, though I am nearly through the chapters that I've already written...

Wish me luck! :*
