Jason's POV
"Open! You... Stupid... Door!" I grunted as I pulled at Piper's dad's car's door. Piper and I had taken a weekend vacation to Michigan because her dad was shooting a new movie there. We had spent the weekend hanging out at the movie set and meeting her dad's friends. I also tried to not embarrass myself in front of my girlfriend's father. That was a fail. The first time I met him, I stuttered out a half hour speech on the history of black and white television to impress him. After I was done, he turned to Piper and gave her a look that clearly said 'Why in hades did you choose to date this guy?!' I also have a feeling that he already hated me because as far as he knows, Piper met me at the Wilderness School, a school for juvenile delinquents. Just want he wants, his little girl dating a guy destined for juvy.
Anyway, Piper and I had just gotten back from a splendid lunch at a little café close to the set. While we were eating, it had started snowing. Snow now completely covered our car. Neither Piper nor I had ever really encountered snow. A light dusting over Camp Half-Blood is the most snow either of us had ever touched before coming to Michigan.
Piper had to use the restroom after we were done eating, so I decided to be the manly man I was and brush the snow off the car so she could drive us back to the set. Piper still wasn't out of the restroom when I had finished brushing off the car and my glove-less fingers resembled icicles.
I pulled at the passenger side door to enter the car. The door didn't budge. The stupid snow and ice had froze the door shut! This had happened before, and I knew the only thing to do was pull on the door until it loosened.
"Open! Open! Open!" I screamed at the door. Man, it was really stuck. I just kept pulling and pulling. Still, the door wouldn't budge. One would think that the ultra-buff hero of Olympus could open a door glued shut with ice. One would be wrong. I kept tugging at the door.
"I said open!" Pull.
"Open!" Tug.
"Open!" Kick.
"Oh, for goodness sakes open you more stubborn than Reyna door!" By this point, I was also kicking and punching and pulling at the door. Hey, it couldn't hurt, right?"
"Uh, Jason? Are you okay?" Piper interrupted my door-hitting session. She must have just come out of the restroom.
"No!" I turned toward her, panting. "This idiotic door got itself sealed shut with the stupid ice and snow! Now I can't open it!" I pointed toward the door accusingly. "We are going to need a cab because this stupid door won't open!" I tugged at the door once more.
Piper just started laughing. I stared at her, open-mouthed. "How dare you laugh at a time like this? This is no time for laughing! Don't egg on the door! It doesn't need encouraging!"
"Jason," Piper laughed as she pulled out a set of keys from her purse. She pressed a button on one of the keys, and the car made a clicking sound. "Did you try unlocking the door?" Piper pulled on the passenger side door, and it opened easily.
"Stupid door," I glared contemptuously at the door. Piper just continued to laugh.
"You fought with the door! And the door won! The big bad manly hero of Olympus couldn't stand against a fight with a car door!"
"Shut up," I studied my shoes. Piper pulled her cell phone out of her purse.
"Hey Dad!" Piper called her dad on the phone. Mr. McLean had given Piper a cell phone and she only used it for emergencies. Apparently, sharing in my embarrassment was an emergency. "Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. But guess what? Uh, no. And his name is Jason, not Jamie. No! He did not spontaneously combust! He fought with a door! And the door won!" Cue another round of laughter. "That's a great idea! You should definitely make that T.V. show! I can see it now... Jason v.s. Door!"
Great. Just great. So much for not embarrassing myself further in front of my girlfriend's father. Stupid door.
