Hey, thank you to everybody currently reading this. Double thanks to those who have reviewed. I promise Piper will begin to see more of Jason now. Keep reading and don't forget to review!
Piper woke on the ground. By Jason's position, he had obviously attempted to catch her when she fainted. He had also clearly failed. He was leaning above her, looking anxiously into her eyes. His blue eyes sparkled with worry; cute little creases appeared on his forehead. When it became obvious that Piper was fine, he sat back, exhaling in such a way that made Pipers stomach flutter. He smiled, and Piper found herself smiling back. The bell rang. Perfect timing she thought sarcastically. Piper sighed inwardly. Why now? Right when she was talking to Jason himself, why did the bell have to ring? Jason picked himself off the ground, offering her a hand. With trembling fingers she took it, raising herself off the ground.
'You ok?' Jason's voice was still clouded with worry. Worry for her. But at least he appeared to have forgotten about Reyna. She hoped.
Piper forced herself to smile. 'Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.'
Jason returned the smile, the corners of his lips creases upwards. 'Good.' He turned to go, to head back out past the trees. But then he seemed to change his mind. He turned back to her. 'Oh and Piper? I didn't mean to make you pass out. I'm sorry.'
Piper's eyes filled with tears, but if Jason noticed he didn't let on. She shook her head. She didn't trust herself to speak. She couldn't mess it up now. She was so close.
He nodded slowly. 'Well, I'd better go. I'm going down to the beach after school. I should be there at about five. Then I might get an ice cream or something.'
Piper was stunned. Was he actually asking her out? She watched as Jason smiled again. 'See you around.' He walked away; Piper was reminded of the way he had walked away from her that first day, when she bumped into him. After Jason had left, Piper allowed herself to sink back down to her knees, and the tears began to fall. But she was smiling. 'Looks like I'm going to the beach,' she murmured to herself, warmth spreading over her body.
