Step One: Go up to Mr. Freyers with a batch of freshly baked cookies.

Reyna looked at her wooden basket with some chocolate chip cookies she bought from Allison's Bakery a few blocks down. She had bought it just now so the cookies are still warm and tasty. Reyna had no talent in cooking and it might not work if she came up with freshly burnt cookies.

"Mr. Freyers!" Reyna faked enthusiasm as she plastered a huge smile on her face.

"Reyna?" Her History teacher turned evidentially shock that Reyna is still around.

"I baked some of these delicious cookies and I thought I'd give some of them to you!" Reyna lied.

"Oh, thanks!" Mr. Freyers took the basket from Reyna's hands and picked up a cookie politely. "Mmm, they do taste like the ones I buy from the bakery around here."

"Really?" Reyna feigned surprise. "They do tell me I'm professional but there is always room to improve." she said modestly.

As Mr. Freyers started munching on his second cookie, Reyna quickly checked her phone for step two.

Step Two: Start a friendly conversation. Ask his how things are going etc

"So how's it going?" Reyna kept the warm smile big and bright.

"Not too well, actually." Mr. Freyers sighed. "I'd thought Miles would do better in his essay and Nadine..she's not going to be satisfy with the score I'm giving her but I have no choice. Her essay is not up to my standard…"

Reyna wasn't paying attention. She doesn't care about these students, she doesn't even know who they are. Freshmans? Seniors? Whatever.

"Luckily, Annabeth is still around. Without somebody decent like her, I don't know why I'm still around. I mean, only Annabeth exceeds beyond my expectations."

Only Annabeth? Reyna gritted her teeth. Is somebody out there playing with her? She had always admired Annabeth, respected her but not so much nowadays. Reyna had always played along with the rules, never a mistake or flaw but teachers seem to only recognize Annabeth. Even Percy. Reyna used to have a secret crush on him but guess who he liked instead? Annabeth, of course.

Reyna straightened herself. She can't be pouting in front of Mr. Freyers, after all she is the friendly student who secretly wanted to lift her grade. BZZ! Reyna's phone vibrated alerting her that Hylla had texted with Step Three. "Excuse me." Reyna manipulated her voice to make her seem sincerely apologetic that somebody had to text her during their conversation.

"It's alright." Mr. Freyers shrugged as Reyna took her phone and held it against her face.

Step Three: Start mentioning how hot his son is. He would absolutely love you if you would go out with that loser.

Reyna wanted to scream. She should have known that her sister had something cunning up her sleeves, why did Reyna listened to her? Because she's desperate? Is she desperate enough to go out the the residential freak? No. Reyna is not going to do this. There got to be some other ways but she needed time to think.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Reyna cried sadly. "My sister Hylla, which I'm sure you would remember her is in the hospital! I've got to visit her."

Mr. Freyers' hands fell on Reyna's shoulders sympathetically. "What happened?"

"I don't know." Reyna forced emotion into her voice and started hurrying away. "I really got to go now."

"I hope it's nothing big!" Mr. Freyers called after her.

Piper can't go on any longer. Seeing Jason almost everyday and knowing he is not hers - not even close - is getting into her nerves. Why did she even make the deal with Reyna? She was scared that Jason would go straight to Reyna when he came out of coma but obviously, Jason hadn't. Maybe she should just break the deal off and do what she was doing before the Shooting. This deal is suppose to last for at least a month but Piper don't know if she can do it. Hopefully, Reyna felt the same.

You can say Piper is a very indecisive person. She agrees 100% and she knew she'll have second thoughts about it sooner or later. Before she could gather points to argue with herself, she texted Reyna. "I think we should break the deal"

Piper didn't know whether Reyna would agree or not. Reyna could simply reject this proposal and call her weak for backing out on her own promise. It's ironic, really. Piper did think Reyna won't agree to the deal but she did. Maybe she'd want the promise to remain.

After hearing the familiar sound her phone makes when somebody texted her, Piper took the phone from her covers slowly. What would Reyna say?

"Agreed."

Piper let out a huff of relieve. She didn't know what else to text to Reyna so she put her phone away. At least, Reyna didn't make it hard for her.

"Why did you ask?" Rachel raised an eyebrow.

"Was just wondering. Really, it's just nothing." Annabeth answered cautiously. Although, Rachel is one of her greatest friends, she does have her moments and Annabeth does not want to tell her everything.

"It's alright." Rachel shrugged. "I know but it's false."

Annabeth's gray eyes widen. Know…how did she? She told nobody about it but her best friends, people whom she could trust with her life.

"Oh, Reyna told me." Rachel said casually as if reading her mind.

That bitch. Annabeth thought narrowing her eyes but immediately straightened herself. "Cool, but that's not what I told her." Annabeth rolled her eyes haughtily. Normally, Annabeth won't do this but she felt betrayed by Reyna. Reyna and Rachel aren't even particularly close friends, in fact without Annabeth, they won't know each other.

"It's nothing embarrassing anyway." Rachel said quickly before asking "So what did the teacher said again?"

According to his plans, Jason should be looking through Harvard Medical School alumni students online. However, he is currently in front of a huge mansion. He looked at his phone to make sure he was at the right place. The McLean Mansion, definitely.

He didn't know Piper that well and he certainly didn't know why Piper's house would be a mansion. Not that he's against mansions or anything, in fact it's pretty cool, but you don't really live in mansions unless you're famous or ridiculously rich. Even when Jason's father is such a well known judge, they don't live in a mansion. Piper doesn't seem rich, she doesn't use Prada bags or Tiffany bracelets like what wealthy people are thought to be used.

Jason rung the doorbell. He was expecting some high-class maids to come out like those old movies about rich people, instead Piper came out. No posh silk pajamas, elegant updos or anything. Just plain old Piper. "I never thought you live..here." Jason managed to say.

"Uhm..yeah." Piper looked kind of embarrassed. "My dad is…rich."

Jason decide not to press on anymore. She looked pretty nervous already. "So, what do you want to do?" Last night, Piper texted him and asked him if he wanted to come over to hang out. Jason agreed. He won't deny having a little crush on Piper but he wasn't too sure if Piper liked him back.

Piper shrugged. "Anything you want. We have anything you can think of."

"Private pool?"

"Yup!"

"Private movie box?"

Piper raised her eyebrows. "Definitely. What kind of celebrity won't have their own movie box to watch themselves on the big screen?"

"Woah. Celebrity?" Jason might be right about the 'famous' part.

Piper covered up her mouth like she had said too much but whispered. "My dad, he's Tristan McLean."

Jason nodded. He understood what's it like being the kid of celebrities. Everybody gives him unnecessary attention and treats him like he is something special when he isn't. Besides, there are the paparazzi and those celebrity gurus out there who just gotta know everything happening to you. Even as the son of a famous judge, he gets pestered by reporters, mostly to ask about his dad and how some new cases are going. Evidently, they still haven't got around the fact you're not suppose to share information about court cases to anyone, not even your family.

"That's why you have so many stuff." Jason said to break the silence.

"We even have a private beach." Piper said as if it's nothing.

"A private beach." Jason repeated. "In New York."

"It's not that big." Piper muttered quickly. "Let me show you." Swiftly, she grabbed Jason's arm and pulled him into the mansion. Their touch was like electricity but only Jason seemed to felt it. Suddenly, Jason felt self-conscious, he hope Piper couldn't see that he is blushing.

When Jason's mind finally tore away from the touch, he realized that he was in a cool, airy, big lounge. The color scheme of the room was definitely brown, dark ebony brown. Everything from the room was either brown, white or ocean blue. Although Jason doesn't usually comment on houses and furnitures, he can tell that these colors work really well together. The lounge itself looked like it had been designed by some extremely popular designers.

From a large window on the side, Jason could see the ocean. He wasn't sure if it's Atlantic Ocean or anything but the waves were clear and calm. Near the window, there were 3 freshly painted white steps leading down to another platform where expensive brown sofas were placed facing a 60 inch flatscreen TV.

The lounge itself was breathtaking, it was just like those mansions you see on TV. Jason could not imagine what other rooms would look like.

After allowing Jason a few minutes to absorb the magnificent room, Piper grinned. "Never seen anything like this?"

"Nope." Jason admitted. "So where's the beach?"

"Just out there." Piper held Jason's arm again, shyly. She paused for a few seconds then led him through a slide out door with a chocolate colored frame.

Soft white sand met Jason's foot. Not so far away, waves crashed upon the beach. There were pool noodles and floaties left on the side of the beach drifting slowly towards the water and in the corner, Jason spotted a little bar with wooden chairs and table. Although Jason was sure nobody worked in there, it looked like the missing person was only on a lunch break. Variety of drinks were left on the side of the counter.

"Wow." Jason breathed.

"Oh, it's nothing, plus this is kinda shared. People like Amanda Seyfried come over all the time." Piper assured him. "You should have seen the beach we have in this little island on Greece. That is sensational. Sometimes, I go there with my mom on a private jet. In fact, you've been there before.." Piper blushed.

After a few seconds, Jason realized Piper was talking about the time before the Shooting. Piper wasn't saying that she held a party there and invited everybody. She was saying that they've been there..alone. Due to his amnesia, he couldn't remember that night but it felt like that memory was trying to be triggered. Jason wanted to remember it. He wanted to know every bit that happened that day. He was sure that day was his favorite.

As Jason and Piper looked awkwardly into each others eyes. He figured out that he does remember. During his hypnotism, his dream was being in a beach similar to this one but the one was nicer and more tranquil. The pretty brunette was Piper and they had spent the whole day together in the beach.

"I remember it." Jason said quietly looking down at the sand.

"You do?" Piper sounded hopeful. "I thought you had amnesia."

Jason blushed. "Best memories like that don't just go away."

Nico is aware that the police had been keeping a closer eye on him than usual. New York is a place full of mystery and surprises. The police like watching their suspects to make sure they don't do anything dodgy. Usually, Nico laugh it off and tell people that the police judge him because of his appearance. Nico knew his slate isn't exactly as clean as his friends thought it might be, but still, he hasn't done anything illegal for a long time.

Nico's father is Hades. You would probably be thinking who is this Hades guy is but in the Criminal World or even the police force , everybody knows who he is. You can't say Hades is a criminal. If there is evidence for that, he'd probably be in prison already. However, Hades isn't a part of the police either. He's just around - except he knows everything.

Do you need information on some stolen purses or want to know who killed your great-grandfather? Hades had everything you need to know. It was rumored that the Di Angelo family kept a big book on great thefts of all centuries.

Nico gets a bad reputation from his dad. Apparently, he is the only one in the family who does so. His mom, Maria Di Angelo is more into modeling and fashion. Although his mother's fashion taste is gothic and dark, she gets along very well with Piper's mom, Aphrodite. Being a Top Model and one of Hollywood's most popular socialite, Aphrodite was able to make Maria admired in public.

Nico's older sister Bianca is currently in a high-class boarding school in England. Like all the stereotype English boarding school, nobody gives a fuck to whether Bianca is famous, pretty or rich. All they cared about is her manners, poise and elegance. Nico isn't sure if Biana just doesn't want to make a fuss or actually enjoys being there, she never complained.

While people who knew Hades thought he was interested in knowing secrets so he had positioned himself the way he did, only his family knew he was only interested in the money. A long time ago, Hades realized that secrets are one of the world's most valuable thing and by trading them, he'll earn lots of money. What Hades realized then was true. He is one of the world's richest men but as Hades have minimal contact with the public, nobody knew.

Hades also learnt that sometimes, information don't come as easily as he expected. Hacking into computers, eavesdropping, making quick phone calls usually give him what he needed but some criminals are more careful than others. Sometimes, he had to go and sneak into the crime spot to figure out something. With his quick and cunning mind, Hades followed patterns of convicts all around the world so he knew which of them did the crime straight away.

With this skill, Hades was wanted on the FBI force, criminal gangs, detective groups etc. However, Hades only wanted to teach Nico to maintain the family's name.

After Jason woke up from his coma and the case was revived, the police went straight to Hades for information on the Shooting. Of course, Hades knew who the Shooter was and what his or her intentions were but he also knew that this secret is too precious to give away. Besides, the police's price is never good enough.

As Hades refused the tell the police anything, naturally they turned their attention on Nico as they thought Hades would tell everything to him. Normally, this was true but as the Shooting was closely related to Nico, Hades knew it was best not to reveal the details to him. However, to maintain his reputation as being the Hades Jr, Nico often pretended he knew what was going on.

How dare she. Reyna is in rage. Right after Piper broke the deal off, she invited Jason to her house. Reyna isn't surprised if they were already a couple. Reyna could see the way Jason looks at Piper even when the deal is on. Partly, Reyna is mad at herself for agreeing to break the deal. She should have known Piper would do something like this.

In addition to that, she still has to get Mr. Freyers to give her an A for History. There is just so many things on her mind, Reyna wasn't sure if she could handle it.

Usually, Reyna's mind is organized and rational. However when she is feeling frustrated and stressed as she is now, she often has crazy ideas. Just as she is figuring a way to get out of this mess, one of her wicked ideas formed. This is something Reyna never had done but she knew it would work. She is not desperate enough to date Mr. Freyer's son and lose all her reputation but she is desperate enough to do something completely wild ..is she?

For a split second, she'll do anything for an A.

With a dangerous glint in her dark brown eyes, she got her phone and texted Leo Valdez.

Hahaa….uhm so this chapter is kinda cheesy with the Jasper bit but I'm such a big Jasper shipper I really couldn't help it.
