Chapter 5

Percy POV

I finished packing about 30 minutes before the "sleepover" was supposed to start, I think it was just Piper's excuse to get some time with Jason, I mean it's obvious they like each other and that's coming from me. Anyways, Jason gave me his number so that I could find my way there, because I sort of spaced out when Piper was talking and giving us the information to her place. Jason's really cool actually and I would've never known that because of the perfect boy charm that radiates off of him, he even gave me advice about the group, I think it's more of a clan anyway but oh well. The clan advice was, Leo, Connor, and Travis are the major pranksters of the group so if I want to stay nice and not wake up in only my boxers in the middle of Central Park, yikes, Katie was the one that was tasked in keeping them in check and telling the Stolls apart (they're identical twins) I wish her luck. Reyna's the muscle, Thalia is the emo/punk/goth even though she claims otherwise I think of her more of a Barbie doll that's really into black (don't tell her I said that), Hazel is the innocent one, Frank's the quiet one but he's a pretty cool dude once you get to know him. Piper's the beauty of them (Jason went into great detail but I ended up zoning out), and apparently Jason's job is to make sure no one kills each other. Also according Jason, Annabeth is only that brains of the operation, to me though she beats Piper in the beauty department.

While I was getting all this information from Jason, I had to clean the kitchen because I stole five of my mom's blue cookies (inside joke). I had to scrub the countertops and do the dishes. Plus take out the trash, and organize the already organized kitchen (I had to do that earlier this week) because of the same reason except I tried with the whole batch instead of five.

While I was putting away the silverware, I glanced up at the clock and saw it was 6:50 and it'll take me 15 minutes to get there, and Piper said not to be late. So I quickly yelled a goodbye to my mom and grabbed my bag and basically sped all the way to Piper's house. When Piper said house I was thinking four bedroom, one floor, two bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, and a living room, boy was I wrong. I think Piper's "house" was more of a mansion, I mean seriously they have their own valet AND butler.

I knocked on the door, not even thinking about just glancing down at my phone 6:59, phew. When a girl's voice came from behind me, "Please tell me you didn't knock!"

I turned around, it was Annabeth and Thalia, Thalia talking, "Uhhh….. I didn't knock?"

Annabeth face palmed muttering something along the lines of me being an clueless idiot. I just shrugged it off. Then Annabeth looked up, "I thought Jason gave you the rundown of the group."

"He did." I replied back smoothly, she kept looking at me expectantly. I motioned my hands as a signal for her to continue. She only groaned.

"Annie?"

"First off don't call me Annie Thals, secondly this idiot is going to get blown up."

"Umm…. What does blown up mean?"

Thalia gave Annabeth her best death glare which I almost backed down from, but Annabeth only smirked, Thalia rolled her eyes and said, "We should let him find out on his own, just like we did with Jason."

"Oh yeah!" Annabeth looked mischievous, "Bye Jackson." and with that she turned away.

"See ya, Kelp Head." Thalia said as well, and turned away with Annabeth. They both walked back to the car and stayed in there and started talking. I just rolled my eyes, they're crazy, obviously. I mean what would get them so worried they're probably just pranki—

I didn't get to finish my thought before something along the lines of glue was poured over my head from a window above me and someone came up from behind me and threw cotton-balls at me getting those stuck to me and for a finish the door opened and glitter came at me faster than I could blink, along with a flash of camera. Now I understand the meaning of I'm gonna kill you Stolls and Valdez! That is frequently yelled at my school.

That's when Thalia and Annabeth came up laughing their heads off, "Told you so," Thalia said in between her laughing, "and Kelp Head you should've listened to us. At these parties you always go in the back because of the Stolls and Valdez. If you do go in the front, it's usually unlocked, but you only do that if you're late and desperate. Because if you come in the front door Piper's going to give you a makeover."

Annabeth looked me up and down, I almost made the smart comment of you like what you see, but I didn't because I didn't want to get killed, "Seaweed brain, you definitely want to go through the front door and get a makeover, you NEED it." SHE REMEMBERED MY NICKNAME!

I was confused, because I'm generally a good looking guy. I'm not trying to sound conceited or anything but I am good looking, it's in my blood, I look a lot like my dad. "I don't think I do Wise Girl."

Her face lit up for a second and then both her and Thalia bursted out laughing. "Look down!" Thalia basically yelled.

I did, OH MY GODS (inside joke) I felt like my eyes were going to pop out of my head with how wide they were, that just made them crack up more.

I heard more laughter behind me when I realized that Piper opened the door, "I wondered where you all were!"

"No you weren't we are all in the living room and you're hallucinating everyone that's standing here." Thalia said snapping her fingers in her face.

"Thalia how many times do we have to tell you? You can't control what people think or see!" Piper exclaimed.

"Until I get it through my head. Duh!"

"You're coming and getting a makeover all of you."

All of us groaned in perfect sync, "I don't care what any of you say, all of you are coming AND because of the complaining my mom's helping me with the makeovers. Percy you're coming first."

I came without complaining. Everyone was there already, along with a girl with red hair. I think she's in my english class, her name's Chloe I'm almost positive of it. While I set my stuff down and walked out of the room, Annabeth and Thalia came in and sat down. They started whining about how Piper would have to give them makeovers and every single one of them looked at me and I swear waved goodbye as soon as I turned my back.

After a bunch of tugging, twisting, whining about it hurting, and being thrown into places, I was finally finished. When I looked into the mirror I looked somewhat normal, I had on jeans that hung little bit tight on the waist, a blue shirt that showed all of my upper body and brought out my eyes. My hair was messy as always, and SOMEHOW I don't know how but Piper and her mom Aphrodite got out all the glue and glitter out of my hair and body, and didn't make me bald, I'll have to send them a thank you note.

"You can go now Percy," Piper said, "please send in Annabeth or Thalia. Preferably Thalia."

"Alright." I mumbled barely audible as I walked out of the bathroom and went into the living room. When I walked into the living room, I swear everybody stopped and stared. Annabeth was in the middle of saying something when they all started to stare so she turned around. She blushed,YES ANNABETH CHASE BLUSHED! FOR ME TOO! This is the best day of my life.

"Thalia it's your turn, Piper asked for you specifically." Thalia groaned and trudged off to the room of torture.

So sorry for the wait... I have no excuses, so if you still care about this story and reading, I thank you and help me with criticism. I'll always appreciate it.
