E.C. (S.S.T.): Whatever, thanks to Melikecake for thinking I'm AWESOME! LOVE YOU! And I know I totally blew people's mind when they saw me talk.

Me: I told you not to talk, but you just couldn't keep your BIG mouth close, now could you? I had to find a demigod to control the mist for them to not to think they're crazy!

E.C. (S.S.T.): PAH! If you ask me I made their lives a WHOLE lot more interesting! Now enough chit-chat on with the story!

Chapter 10

Breathe

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. That's all I can think about since Valerie tried to strangle me. And do you know what's worse? In some point I actually liked it! I do not know if it was boy hormones that got me a little excited for grabbing Valerie's waist? I'm having these hormones again right now because Piper's hand is on my shoulder, stupid boy hormones.

"Are you okay?" Piper asked. Hmm, was I okay? Well, the girl I liked now hates me and tried to strangle me. While the other girl I like thinks I like Valerie and now asking if I'm okay. Then my best friend Leo likes the same girl I like which basically means I'm going against him. Percy now defiantly hates my guts, not to mention the stupid boy hormones.

"I'm great!" I answered. Idiot.

"Yeah right," Piper said while rolling her eyes. I just smiled. Everyone was already here. We heard some noise and everyone turned around. It was Percy practically dragging Valerie, When they finally reached the hill, Valerie was looking anywhere except my direction. She's ignoring me. Well, what did you expect! This quest could get her kill.

"So let's begin, well Notus birthday is on the summer solstice, one week from today and Atlas wants me to be there the same day. The pegasi will take all of us to New Mexico then we will have be on our way alone. So, any questions?" Percy took in a deep breath. Leo raised his hand.

"Yes?" Percy asked.

"Um yeah, can you say that again but more slowly?" This just earned him a slap on the back of his head form Piper.

"Um, I got a real question-," I started but got interrupted by Piper.

"- you hear that Leo? He's got a real question."

"Oh shut up!" I took this as my cue and resumed asking my question.

"As I was saying why can't the pegasi take us all the way to our destination?" I continued.

Percy shrugs, "Pegasi get tire." With that last word Percy whistled. 4 white pegasi appear and a pitch black one. They all landed and we chose our pegasus except for Percy who already had Blackjack. Suddenly the sun got a little brighter. I look up but I had to squint, I was no son of Apollo. I gasped if was a beautiful all brown horse. Want to know the best part? The hair on his forehead was white and it was shaped like a trident, she (the horse is a she) seemed bless. She landed near Blackjack and the blessing seemed to pass to him. After a few minutes of seeing Percy and Valerie talking with the pegasi, everyone got on their pegasi.

Percy took off first, next was Valerie, soon everyone took off except for me. That's when I realize that Piper was here.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

"To say goodbye to you. You know this might be the last time I see you."

"Nah," then I did my Darth Vader voice and said, "I'll be back."

Piper burst out laughing, an awesome sound to hear, then she put her serious face back on.

"Be careful out there Jason." Then she kissed me on the cheek and ran down the hill toward her cabin. I just stare dumbfounded, until Leo shouted at me.

"Yo, lover boy! Hurry up or we'll lose the other!"

"I'm coming!" Soon I was up in the sky and we caught up with others. Annabeth and Rachel were talking about the mystery person they were going to save and who could it be. Valerie and Percy were doing awesome tricks side by side. That just left me and Leo. Awkward. I guess Leo felt it too because he shifted uncomfortably on his pegasus. Finally Leo spoke up.

"Why did Valerie get mad at you?"

"I'm really not in the mood to talk about it."

"It's okay."

"So you have a thing for Valerie?" Whoa, where did that come from? Leo jumped a little in his pegasus.

"I'm not really in the mood to talk about it." We both cracked up.

"I guess I like her," Leo said laughing. I immediately stop laughing.

"What?"

"Well she has attitude but she's sweet, she's funny not to mention hot and-"

"HOT?"

"Yeah, you know fiery, warm, blazing, burning, caliente-"

"I know what hot means!"

"Do you like Valerie?"

"I-I, well-"

"Guys we're here!" Percy shouted. Thank the gods. I almost blew it with Leo. I almost told him I did like Valerie. Oh my gods Leo likes Valerie. Great, now I'm stuck in a quest with the girl I like and the boy who likes her. Just breathe Jason, just breathe.

Yeah! I finished sorry I took so long to update! I've been busy and sorry this chapter is short. Thanks for the people who review bye! :D
