Chapter 5

Piper's POV

I walked into the music store. It was a chilly Sunday. I start school tomorrow, how fun.

I walked along the isle's, looking fora new CD. I had to put some new songs on my iPod for whenever I get bored in class. I saw Maroon 5's CD's and started flipping through them. I was looking at one called Overexposed when someone said something to me. "Can I help you with anything?"

I turned around to see Jason. My heart did a little skip. He was very handsome, his blond hair and electric blue eyes. I blinked, getting out of my trance and said, "Hi Jason!"

He smiled brightly. "Hey Piper! How are you?" I rolled back and forth on my heels and said, "I'm good thanks, and you?" He smiled brightly. "I'm good thank you. Do you need any help?"

I looked at the CD and back to him. "Yeah, I just need to pay for this." He smiled and took the CD from me and walked to the counter.

"$4." I gave him the money and he was putting my CD in a packet when he said, "Hey, I get off work in 10 minutes. Maybe we could go somewhere when I get off?" I smiled and blushed a bit. "Sounds great." I walked to one of the couches at the front of the store and sat down. I listened to music while I waited.

What seemed like a couple of minutes later, he came towards me, putting his jacket on. He opened the front door and said, "Shall we?"

I relaxed into the booth at the Seaside Cafe. It was really warm and cozy inside. Jason came walking towards the table with our hot chocolate's in hand.

"Here you go." He said, handing me a mug. "Thanks." I sipped my hot chocolate. It was like heaven!

"So tell me a bit about yourself. Schools, family, friends..." He looked at me, waiting for an answer.

"Well I grew up here with my parents," I hesitated, wondering whether to mention who they were. I decided not to.

"I go to Goode High-"

"What? Frank, Leo, Percy and I are going there! This is awesome!" I immediately felt happy. "No way! That's amazing! We'll get to know each other better!" I was practically jumping with excitement.

"Carry on with your life story." He said, taking a sip of his hot chocolate.

"I have a few good friends at school but we're not extremely close." I took a sip of my drink. I didn't know what else to tell him.

"I'm guessing you have a boyfriend as well." He said, faking a smile. I wondered what that was about...

"And why do you assume that?" I said, with a raised eyebrow and a smirk.

He blushed and put on a dashing smile. "You know, because your pretty and your funny. Any guy would want to date someone like you!" He blushed and so did I.

"So is it a yes or a no?" He asked with a quizzical look. "If you have to know, I don't. I've been asked out a couple times but I'm looking for the right guy."

His expression brightened. "Okay." I chuckled and he did too. "And how about you? Any girlfriend's? I'm sure they're begging at your door, saying 'Date me! Date me!'"

"No, I don't. Tiffany, I don't know if you know her, keeps asking me to date her but I say no every time." I smiled, knowing that he didn't like the walking barbie.

"You know, your pretty down to earth. I thought you might be arrogant." I said, sarcastically. He mocked hurt. "Ouch, that was mean."

I chuckled at his little act. I think I really do like this guy.
