Piper POV

Okay, as pathetic as this sounds, I have a crush. Yes me. Cold, silly, annoying Piper Elizabeth-Anne McLean.

On who, you might ask? Jason Grace. Not to be nasty or anything, but he, according to Annabeth, is annoying, and self centred. Not hard to believe. He's dating Drew. Drew is your stereotypical mean girl. Perfect make-up caked face. Perfect evenly tanned skin. Perfect dark ringlets.

Jason, is like that too. Perfect electric blue eyes. Perfect messed up blonde hair. Perfect teeth. Perfect Californian tan (although mines darker from my native heritage). And Perfect, stunning grades. So basically popular kid, good grades.

I have no chance.

Jason, however, is also apart of a band, containing him (duh), Percy Jackson (Annabeth's boyfriend, Paisley's brother), Luke Castellan, Leo Valdez, and Nico Di Angelo.

Their band is more well known than mine, and I can't decide whether thats good or bad. Mine includes myself (again, duh), Annabeth, Thalia, Calypso, and Paisley.

Right now, we're all gathered at our table for lunch. The boys are at another table, on the other side of the cafeteria.

"Hey, Pipes." Thalia 'whisper's' across the table.

"What?" I say loudly, staring at her.

"I dare you-"

"This isn't a game of truth or dare, Thals. Maybe later." I say, rolling my eyes. She slumps in her seat, sighing.

"Apparently in last period there's gonna be an announcement about bands or something." Annabeth says, "Keep an ear out for it. Maybe this could be our chance."

We've wanted to do gigs everywhere since we started. One place said, "we don't need a girl band." Another said, "We've got a boy band playing here already." Which coincidentally happened to be Jason's band. Hence why we dont like them so much.

Paisley coughed loudly, "At the rate this cold is going, I'm going home early." She croaks, "Stupid rain. Always ruining my fun." She'd attempted to walk home in the pouring rain the other day, declining my umbrella.

"That is kinda your fault." Calypso told her, patting her back until she stopped her coughing fit.

Paisley nodded, covering her mouth with her elbow and coughing again.

"That sounds sick." Annabeth winces, glancing at the girl.

"I feel sick. Ah, screw swimming after school. I'm going home." Paisley says, packing up her lunch and stuffing it in her bag.

"Get better soon!" Calypso and I say to her, before she leaves. She smiles with a cough.

"That was sick." Thalia says, scrunching up her face, squishing her very very faint freckles.

"I hope shes okay." Annabeth says, watching Paisley talk to Percy. He nods at her, and pats her back as she turns to go.

"hmm." I agree, nodding. "Anyways, we'll text her the announcement I guess."

-Sorry to interrupt your scrolling, but your beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Have a frantastic day! You can keep scrolling now if you want-

"Class is going to be cut short today because of an extremely important announcement." The teacher, Mr. Blowfis, says, "Please hurry and get on with your work so it can be done in the time we are given. This shouldn't need to be a homework task, accept for those of you who struggle with reading."

I sigh, chewing the end of my pencil in thought as I stare at the work sheet infront of me.

"Psst. McLean." Someone pokes me. I ignore it. "McLean."

"What?" I hiss, turning around to find myself staring into the most beautiful blue eyes in the world. "Sorry." I say, ducking my head a bit.

"No worries. Do you have an eraser I can borrow?" Jason asks me, widening his dazzling blue eyes.

"Um, uh, yeah." I stammer, turning back to my desk to get the eraser. I pick it up and give it to him. He smiles at me and rubs something out on his paper.

I go back to the worksheet. I squiz through it, and am finished just as the announcement comes on.

"Good afternoon Goode high. I have a very important announcement to make. There is a bands competition, where you can enter your band to win. There are competitors from all over the USA, and celebrity judges. Auditions will be held next week Tuesday in the auditorium after school, for those who want to audition or to simply watch them. If you want more details, feel free to come to the office for a brochure."

I gasp, and hear people giggling around me.

"Ep! We need to get matching outfits and everything!" I hear a few people say -Medea to be exact-

I roll my kaleidoscope eyes and pile my books up. As soon as the bell rings, I fly out of the class like a rocket, whackng into half the school population on my journey.

Just wait until we tell Paisley.

A/N

I am currently sittting next to three people at swimming who have less common sense than a three year old. And theyre my age. They tried to get my SEVEN YEAR OLD BROTHER to hit one of them. Theyre hitting each other and I've sassed them. And told them that my little brother has moree common sense than them. Ugh. I've almost been hit with pillows. My little bro better be lucky I am a better person then to let him do that... And I had to scold them. And so did my mum. And apparently one of their dad's is a cop.

This is short, but oh well. I'm gonna delete all the other chapters, and whatnot so if they randomly disappear then you know where theyve gone.

I should be doing my math now...
