Calypso POV

Everything is so tense, Percy is busy glaring at Annabeth, while Piper ignores Jason, who is looking at her like she's an ice block and it's a hot Summers day, which it almost is. It's hot, but it's winter.

"So." I trail off, trying to break the ice.

"So." Thalia repeats, looking around the table. When we both get no reply from anyone, she clears her throat loudly, causing everyone to look at her. "Are we going to address the elephant in the room, or is it going to be ignored and die from the lack of attention."

"Yep." Piper says, too sweetly, clasping her hands together, "Jason, why don't you start."

A fake, plastic smile graced her lips forcibly.

"Uh." He intelligently begins, before the other band Roman Recruit, comes in, talking loudly.

When they realise we were having a serious discussion, Hazel shushes them by holding up her hand.

"Were we interrupting something?" She asks, raising a dark brow.

"No." Jason says, "You weren't interrupting anything."

I could tell Piper was pissed that he wasn't fessing up, and was letting her culprit of the crime into the room.

Roman Recruit awkwardly makes their way to the table, staring at us like we had all grown three heads.

Piper abruptly, and slightly rudely, stands up, her chair sliding back behind her. "I'm finished." She says, grabbing her bowl that had been emptied of the cereal. She was just about to leave when she turns around, her face scrunched up in thinking.

With a twist of her wrist, the left over milk that was in her bowl pours all over Jason.

A real smile comes onto her face, as Jason sits there shocked.

"Better." She chirps before exiting the room to the kitchen before Jason's top blows.

"Can we do a revenge song?" Piper asks in band practice, playing with the guitar to tune it.

"Yes!" Annabeth agrees, pointing at Piper as if that is the smartest, best thing a person has ever said, "Revenge song!"

Okay, I don't want to be the one to tell them this, but they're being a bit irrational. I mean, Jason might not have even had anything to do with the bikini in the bag, and Percy was just looking out and worrying for Annabeth. Lord help us all if Paisley ever decides to go anywhere and no tell anyone. She'd be deader than the rest of us.

Thalia sighs, "Guy's, I think we should stick to our meaningful theme. I mean, I'm all for a good revenge song, but I don't think that the whole world needs to know that you two are being childish and immature. I don't think that Jason had anything to do with the bikini, and I don't think that you should accuse Reyna of it either."

Piper looks embarrassed, and upset that Thalia said that, but she didn't protest, which was good.

"Annabeth," Paisley says, "Percy was looking out for you. He wanted to make sure you were safe and sound. It's in his nature. He's caring in a protective way for the people he loves."

Annabeth looked like she was going to say something in protest before I piped up.

"Yeah, so I think we should go with our normal stuff. I've already got a few songs." I say, "And besides, we can do that later, if you're still arguing."

"Sorry." Piper says, shaking her head, "I'm just really upset that that happened."

"We know." I say apologetically, remembering what it was like when I saw Leo kissing that other girl, whose name I have forgotten. I kind of hope she dies in a ditch, I mean, no one, and I mean no one, kisses my boyfriend.

"Let's just get on with this." Annabeth sighs, "What've we got?"

"Secrets by Mary Lambert, Shake it Off by , Miss Independent by Kelly Clarkson, Are We All We Are by Pink." I say, reading off the sheet in front of me.

"I'm not doing Shake it Off." Thalia says, "So you can cross that off."

I draw a line across the suggestion, and put aside those music sheets.

"We've just done a Pink song, so maybe we can do that later." Piper says, so I do the same to Are We All We Are as I did to Shake it Off.

"I like Secrets." Paisley says, shrugging. "But I'm indifferent."

"Okay, so who's for Miss Independent?" I say, waiting for them to put their hands up. Piper does, and so does Thalia. "Well, Paisley, Annabeth and I want to do Secrets, so we'll do Miss Independent next time."

"Cool." Piper says as I begin handing out the music sheets to the designated people.

"Far out, Percy!" Thalia almost curses at Percy, "Not all of us are seasoned swimmers!"

I watch as I hear Percy try and get her to race him to the pontoon and back.

"Are you too chicken?" Percy teases, making chicken arms, "Bock bock bock."

"Are you too chicken to race your sister?" Thalia smirks, probably proud that she thought of something to say.

"Uh." Percy replies, making the rest of us laugh.

"I wanna race you, Percy!" Paisley announces, running to her brother quickly, grinning like a mad man, or woman, or girl, or – you get the point.

Percy groans as she jumps on him.

"Fine." He says, moving her so she was in a more comfortable position.

Leo takes my hand and leads me over to the white sand, where it's dry.

We set out our towels, and sit comfortably on them, my head on his shoulder.

"What are we gonna do, Caly?" He asks me, shaking his head as Annabeth and Piper ignore their boyfriends.

Jason looked almost desperate, asking Leo if he could come and sit with us.

"Yeah, sure." Leo says, "Nico, come join us!" He calls to the boy standing close to the water, but not moving.

Nico looks back at us and trudges towards us before making a circle, so Jason sat next to Leo, Leo next to me, Nico on my other side, and Jason on the other side of Nico.

"We should play a game." I say, grinning as Jason looks at me pathetically.

"I was hoping you would be able to help me show Piper that I didn't do whatever she thinks I did," Jason says.

Wait, so he doesn't- well that makes sense. The poor boy doesn't even know what he's being accused of, and I was right.

"When we went to the beach yesterday, Piper found a bikini that didn't belong to her in the bag you guy's shared." I say, watching as his confused face turns to realisation. "She thinks that you cheated on her with Reyna, because you two were in her room for ten minutes, and because she kept giving you looks, that said way too much, sometimes."

Jason nods, "So what can I do to get her back?"

"Show her that you didn't do it." I shrug, "It's easier than it sounds. Reyna doesn't seem like the type to wear a bikini, let alone wear one. Two, you were oblivious to it until now because I told you, and three you really really like her, if not love her."

Jason's eyes widen.

"Looks can say a lot." I tell him. He nods.

Leo's hand runs through my hair absently, stroking my shoulder or back every now and then.

"How about you?" I turn to Nico, "Any girl troubles? Or should I say, girl's brother troubles?"

Nico sighs, "This is really weird."

"I know. Just doing something to pass the time." I say, trying to make him talk. People underestimate how hard it is to get a grumpy teenager to talk.

"Fine." Nico caves, "I want to go out with her, right? But Percy won't let us get very close without yelling at us. I understand he's trying to protect Paisley and whatnot, but seriously? She needs a bit of breathing room."

"Hmm." I think, trying to make the situation better, "Maybe you should talk to Percy and ask him why he doesn't want the two of you together, and you can sort it out."

I feel Leo chuckle, "You're turning into a therapist." He says, as Jason joins in.

"Jus' trying to help." I say, poking him playfully as Paisley shouts out to us about playing Frisbee.

That night, when Piper was sleeping, I heard a knock at the door.

I usually would go to sleep anyways, but I couldn't. I was too hot and it was humid and stuffy. I was also curious as to who was knocking on the door at this hour.

I chucked on a pair of more decent shorts and opened the door to Piper and my room, hoping not to wake anyone up.

I sneak down the stairs, skipping the one that I know has a creak, just as the person impatiently knocks again.

I open the door to find someone very unwanted standing there.

What the hell is she doing? We don't need her. We never have.

"Well, aren't you going to let me in?" Drew demands, tapping her foot impatiently.

A/N

Dun dun duuunnn!

What do you think Drew is doing there?

Who do you think will win, and what do you think will happen?

I haven't gone to the beach all summer so far and I feel so bad, but:

HAPPY NEW YEAR! (I'm in 2015 now, so I don't care if I'm being early for some of you)

It was my sister's sixth birthday yesterday as well and she woke me up at some ungodly hour going "Sky, why are you still sleeping? It's my birthday!"

But now I am on the birthday countdown. 20 days to go! I know, it's kind of ages away.

Anyways, what was your new years resolution? I haven't mad eone because every year I don't do what I said I would so... Whoops, no point.
