Sorry to anybody who's read my other story 'Just A Normal Summer Camp' and was getting mad that I haven't updated in a while! I'm going to finish the last couple letters for this fanfiction and then work on my others! Sorry again!

Prompt: Upside down

Has anything ever happened to you that just seems to turn your life upside down? That's what happened to me when I met Piper McLean. I didn't remember anything from my past, not my sister, my father, nothing. You see, they were jacked by a crazy goddess names Hera. That's another story, though.

I met Piper McLean on a bus going to a school for bad kids. I don't remember what I did to get into that place, exactly, but I do know that Piper stole a car to get in. She was the first person to sit down on the bus and I was the last. There was no where else to sit but with Piper, so I sat.

"Hey, I'm Jason." I stated to her the only thing I really remembered.

"Piper." She mumbled. She turned her head slightly when she said this, and I could see a tiny bit of her beautiful face.

I didn't want the conversation to die so quickly. "So, what did you do to get in here?" I asked.

"Stole a BMW." She mumbled.

"Wow. I don't even know what I did to get sent to this place." I noted. She nodded and looked away again. So much for conversing, right? This is the part where my friend Leo comes in. We weren't really friends until this happened, but afterwards, we were best friends.

"Ouch." Piper groaned as a metal screw hit her in the head. We both turned around to see a latino boy, around our age, who was aiming to hit 'Coach Hedge' in the head with screws and things.

"Dude, what're you doing?" I asked.

"Trying to hit the weird guy in the head." He said, a small smile on his face.

Piper and I didn't really become friends until late that first night. Neither of us could sleep and we both snuck out of our dorms to get some fresh air. It was dark, so I couldn't really see anything.

Just as I was about to walk a few feet over, so I could see the moon and the stars from behind the big brick building, I heard footsteps.

I panicked a bit, I didn't know whether it was Hedge or not, and I started fast walking back in the direction I came from. I was about twenty feet from the door when I ran into a dark figure walking the opposite way.

"Oof!" I said as a hand hit my chest.

"Ouch." They mumbled. I could just see the gray silhouette of a Native American girl with choppy brown hair and bright eyes,

"Piper?" I mumbled. She looked even prettier than when I saw her on the bus.

"Jason?" She asked. I'll admit, I was surprised that she could speak louder than a mumble.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked.

"Couldn't sleep, you?"

"Same."

She nodded and looked away a bit. If I didn't know any better, I would think she was trying not to talk to me.

"So..." I started, "It's kind of strange, huh? You and me... out here..." I mumbled, just speaking my mind.

"How is it weird?"

"It just... is." I said. I had just realized how close we were. Our noses were almost touching and her hand was still on my chest. She seemed to notice it too, because she pulled her hand away. Our eyes met for a minute, a sweet, blissful minute, and I leaned in to kiss her soft looking lips. Before we could kiss, though, a light came on outside and our eyes widened in alarm.

"Get inside, fast." I whispered. She took off towards what I assumed to be her window. Coach Hedge came outside a second later, a baseball bat in hand.

"What do you think you're doing, cupcake?!" He yelled.

"I couldn't sleep. Thought I might get some fresh air." I said.

"Well why didn't you open up a window?" He quizzed me.

"I didn't want to disturb my room mate." I told him, running a hand through my short blonde hair. He grumbled for a moment and then opened the door up, prodding me with his baseball bat to make me go inside.

A few days passed and I hadn't really talked to Piper. I got in trouble for being outside after lights out and had to run twenty laps on the track. I was on my fifth lap when I heard shouting on the grass.

"McLean! You get on that track and tun those ten laps!" Coach shouted at Piper.

"Make me!" She shouted back. Oooh, she shouldn't have done that.

Coach grumbled, took her by the hand and forced her onto the track. She gave him a hard look and then watched as Coach turned to me.

"Don't just stand there, Grace! You've got fifteen more laps to do, get going!" he yelled.

I took off, and not soon after I heard footsteps behind me. Piper.

"So what did you get busted for?" I asked.

"Smuggling food into class. Ten laps for that? Really?" She asked in disbelief.

"You better believe it McLean! I may be small, but I'm not deaf!" Coach shouted from the grass.

We ran in silence for a few more laps. I was just passing ten and she was on her fifth when we heard fire alarms go off in the building.

"Thank God. Now everyone'll be on the track. There won't be enough room for us to run." She said, panting.

It turns out Leo pulled the fire alarm. He got into trouble, but at least Coach forgot about mine and Piper's punishment.

I was sitting on my bed one night, drawing on my wall, when Leo came in and sat down next to me on my bed.

"So... I see you've got quite an interest in little Piper." Leo commented, smiling a bit.

"So?" I asked.

"So... I'm going to set you up. Tonight there's a meteor shower, and Uncle Leo here knows how to get on the roof. A quite and secluded place the roof can be at night, especially when you're-"

"Alright, enough, Leo. Just tell me how to get to the roof."

He did just that. He told me how there was a hole big enough for a cow behind the couch in the living room. I walked over to the girls dorms and left a note for Piper, telling her to meet me there tonight.

Everything was in place. I kept sneaking little glances towards Piper when I could, just to see if she was eyeing me back. She was... I think.

Night time came soon enough, and I was up on the roof with Piper before I knew it. The starts were out and the hot Arizona air made our skin warm and dry. I thought that now was probably the best, and only, time to tell Piper that I liked her.

"Piper... I should tell you something." I said.

"If it has to do with you almost kissing me that one night, please, continue."

"I... like you."

"Good." She said. I sat there, dumbfounded. What was that supposed to mean? Did she like me back or was she just glad that I liked her?

"I'm sorry... what?" I asked.

"it's good you like me. I like you too." She stated. I looked at her, right into her deep blue-green eyes and leaned in, determined that this time, I'd get to kiss her.

Kiss her I did. My lips fit perfectly into hers, like a puzzle. Little did I know that this was the same girl who was going to be turning my life upside down for years and years to come.
