As the boys walked over to Bunker Nine, Piper walked to the Aphrodite cabin to change clothes right away. She would've joined them going back, but she was gross from training and she didn't have clothes stashed in the bunker or sleep in her underwear as the boys tended to do when they got lazy anyway.
She was proud today, feeling like she actually did something right for her friendship. In fact, the famed I-don't-care-about-my-looks-I'm-not-girly-beauty-queen McLean was so satisfied with her work that she skipped to her cabin. Piper McLean skipped.
No, not "skipping class" skipped. Like, "6 year old at a candy store" skipped.
Her actions shocked her as well, but Piper wasn't the only person to notice.
"Wow, what's gotten you so happy?" Drew's snotty voice chimed, "did someone lose a bet and asked you out?"
Piper rolled her eyes. Sometimes she couldn't even believe she was related to this girl.
"For your information, Drew, no. If you have to know, I'm just happy about my friendship with Jason and Leo. You know, Friendship? Like you have with Friends? Because, you know, mine are great. But I guess you don't know because you don't have any real ones."
Now was Drew's time to roll her eyes.
"Whatever Miss Sappy Cheesy Hugs, and I don't think you mean just friendship."
"What are you talking about? You know I broke up with Jason," Piper retorted, catching the gist of her half sister's statement. She made sure to put an emphasis on the fact that she broke up with Jason and was not to be fazed. She shook her head as she pulled on the curtain between their beds to change
"I meant your friendship with that egotistical Hephaestus boy,"
"Hey! He's just being Leo! He's funny, charming, even, and that's his personality. He may be a bit...showy..sometimes, but I wouldn't say egotistical!"
"Whokay, you can calm a bit down now, hon. I just needed to see and prove to you how protective of him you can be."
"So what?! He's my BEST FRIEND, Drew! What do you expect? And where are your even going with this?" Drew's comments were really annoying Piper now, making it hard to concentrate on listening through the curtain, pulling her shirt on, and packing.
"And earlier, you two hugged. A bit too long if you ask me."
Piper stormed out of the curtain, now dressed in another Camp Half Blood shirt, a backpack hanging loosely on her shoulder, and her braid redone, though still a mess.
"I was comforting him! He thought the breakup was his fault! He's like a brother to me! I don't get your point, Drew."
"I say you like him," her half sister stated bluntly.
Piper buried her head in her hands, frustrated and hiding the blush that was slowly forming on her cheeks.
At a loss of words, Piper muttered, "whatever."
Drew walked away, leaving Piper to just shake it off and go back to the bunker.
Could he be the one? Piper pondered as she entered the room.
As she heard laughing and teasing, she answered her own question.
She could not fall in love with her best friend.
She could not ruin their friendship.
And she will not let Drew or any of her "love expert" sisters tell her otherwise.
