Piper

The line for the cafeteria food was taking FOREVER. She felt her own stomach grumble.

Translation- ...FOOD...NOW!

THIS WAS GETTING OUT OF HAND

She glanced around the cafeteria and spotted a familiar face. Jason.

He gave her a smile. She returned one.

Funny, she never used to notice him around. Probably once or twice but if she had seen his face she would've been like

"Oh look it's a person that I don't know and do not intend on knowing,"

She confirmed that she would've thought him good-looking. Maybe he had his own girlfriend.

LOL Nope. Judging by the flirtatious looks the girls from the other table, he was definitely single.

HAHAHAHAHA!

WTH was she doing?

She focused back on the cue for food. She gave a sigh of relief, grabbed some food and dumped it onto her tray.

"Calm down, girl," laughed Reyna. Piper couldn't or wouldn't. She probably looked mad, but that didn't stop her from running to her table then quickly eating it. Annabeth gave an amused smile.

"Never seen you this hungry since we were on the bus to an excursion in year 2." Piper looked at Annabeth, her eyes dancing.

"Where's Leo?" asked Reyna all of a sudden. Annabeth suddenly gave her a look. It was-you know-THE look.

Anger snapped into Reyna's eyes. "No, no, no! NO WAY! I was just wondering where he was, that's all. It's actually good though, the world seems more...pleasant without him."

Annabeth rolled her eyes and smirked. "If you say so, Rey."

"Anyways-" Piper started. "What club are signing up for at last period?"

Reyna shrugged. "No idea, though I might join the art club."

"I thought you didn't like art."

"I changed my mind, it really helps you let out your anger instead of taking out on someone else..."

Annabeth laughed. "I might go for the basketball club. I don't know why, but I feel like trying something new."

Piper sighed. What clubs were there again? Chess, movie, drama, singing, dancing-

"Oi Pipes," said Reyna. Piper turned around. "I dare you to join the cheerleading club."

GAH. UCK. GAG. BLECH. GROSS.

"No."

"Oh come on Pipes," moaned Annabeth. "We'll give you 20 bucks,"

Ok she was considering now.

"And after a week you can quit!" offered Reyna.

Hmm...

"And there are really cute jocks on the field." Reyna winked hinting quietly to the table next to them.

She choked on her food at first then looked up.

"Ummm,"

Jason

Jason spotted Piper in the lunch line and smiled. She returned one and looked back to her friend with curly blonde hair an grey eyes. She immediately got his attention as he remembered something. Someone had mentioned earlier something about a blonde with similar looks and features. Hmmm...

"HIDE ME, DUDE,"

"Relax, she isn't going to bash you up again," Jason laughed.

"Don't be too sure, did you hit on her or something?" asked Will Solace.

Percy looked down at his hands. "Umm...well...after maybe or...um...something..."

"What the Hell, dude! She beats you up then you start hitting on her afterwards? Uhh is anyone up there," he started knocking on Percy's head. "Or maybe she bashed you up so bad that-"

"Shit she's coming!" Percy hid behind Travis. We watched as Piper and the girl sat down at the table next to us.

"...I was just wondering where he was..." said another girl with raven-black hair. They all could only hear a few words like "...World...pleasant...without him..."

"They're talking about you!" Will snickered.

"Hey...I dare you to...club,"

Travis smiled and filled in the blank spaces. "Hey Annabeth, I dare you to hit Percy with a club."

Percy rolled his eyes. "They clearly mean-"

"We'll give you 20 bucks,'

They saw the raven-black girl hint towards their table and said something quietly.

Percy never finished his sentence and groaned.

"Ok, I'm in," said a girl.

Everyone assumed it was Annabeth. Percy got up from his place.

"That's it! I have to deal with her myself!"

"Umm Percy, considering the state you're in..." Beckendorf trailed off.

Percy hesitated for a while. "Maybe I can just talk to her? I mean, I WILL talk to her!"

He stormed off to their table. The girls looked at him like WTF, man?

Percy talked to the girls for a while. At first the girl just looked at him with a confused expression. She said something then raised her eyebrow. Percy's expression changed from nervous to feeling stupid. He said something else, which made the girl start to look angry. She snapped at him and rolled her eyes as he started coming back to the table.

"So what happened?" Jason asked.

Piper

"Ok fine, I'm in."

Annabeth and Reyna started laughing. Rachel came out of nowhere and sat down.

"Hey, here have you been?"

Rachel opened her mouth to speak when a guy came around.

He had black shaggy hair and wore a jacket which clearly showed he was a jock. He had sea-green eyes that hinted that he was nervous about something.

"Hey Annabeth." he said giving a wave. His voice was shaky, which made it look like he was scared.

"Um hi?"

"So...how's life?" he started. Nice way to start the convo.

"Good. And yours?" said Annabeth playing along.

"Great, great. You sure did a great job at umm...P.E."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that," she said frowning. "I get carried away."

"Ok...um you're not going to hit me with a club are you?" he winced.

"What the hell! Where did you get that from?"

"You said so, someone dared you to hit me with a club!"

Annabeth raised her eyebrow. "You were eavesdropping?"

"No! Ok, maybe-but I have my reasons! Oh thank gods, I thought you were going to beat me up again."

"Nah, just don't come across my in P.E." she smirked.

He laughed. "Yeah...It's funny to think that a girl beat me up,"

...

Silence

...

It might have ended differently if the guy had said his remark differently. The smirk on his face rubbed Annabeth the wrong way. Her cheerful grey eyes suddenly flickered with rage. Piper frowned as she knew what was going to happen.

"Why is it so funny? I don't see why it's so amazing that a GIRL beat you up. Is it really that rare to see a girl doing that? You know a lot of girls can beat you up so don't go around thinking that a girl can't. I take back my words, I AM SO NOT SORRY FOR BASHING YOU! And you know what, I can do it AGAIN!" she snapped.

"I didn't mean it that way! Geez, don't go all crazy on me,"

"I can go crazy if I want to, Percy. I don't need a boy telling me what to do! I think you should leave," Percy looked around the table. Piper fiddled with the feather in her hair, Reyna stared at her hands as if they were the most interesting things in the world, Rachel just ate her food.

He sighed and walked back to his table. Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"Sexist jerk."

More to come soon...no seriously like I mean like really soon ;)
