Hi! I was really missing this while I was in school! So, I thought I would write on a regular basis! I reeeallly hope you're enjoying my story and thanks for all the wonderful reviews you've written! Love you guys!

Piper was talking to Hazel nineteen to the dozen. She had missed Annabeth during the walk as they both were the best of friends. But as she was not present, Piper had thought of extending her friendship with Hazel by talking and knowing more about her.

Through the corner of her eye, she saw Annabeth climbing down the stairs and she whipped her head in that direction. Annabeth smiled at Piper and mouthed 'Hi!'. Piper rushed to her and gave her a hug. "I missed you, you know!" She exclaimed excitedly as she pulled away from Annabeth.

Annabeth grinned at her."Yeah, I missed you a lot too!"

She turned to Hazel."Hi! How was the walk, you two?"

"It was nice. I enjoyed a lot, though I hoped you could have come." Hazel replied, cheerfully.

Piper remained silent. Annabeth noticed and said,"Uh.. Piper can you come up to my room for a sec?"

Piper nodded, surprised."Yeah, sure? Why, do you something?"

"Just... come."

Piper was puzzled, but she followed Annabeth nevertheless. As she entered the room, Annabeth turned to her."Piper, did something happen? As in, did .. Jason say something to you?"

Piper looked down at the word Jason. Annabeth approached her and touched her shoulders lightly. "Come on. You can tell me. According to what I know, Jason's not a bad guy, so he probably hasn't done anything big. What happened to you?"

Piper sighed. She remembered the incident that had happened recently.

FLASHBACK

Piper was surprised at being approached by Jason. But, she followed him until he stopped at a large lovely rose bush. Piper exclaimed at its beauty."Wow! This is so beautiful. But, weren't you taking me to a blue berry bush?"

Jason stuttered."uh.. Change of plans."

Piper looked doubtful. "Okay, so.. why are we here, exactly? Except for appreciating the bush's beauty?"

Jason took a deep breath."Piper, I am .. I am sorry for today."

Piper frowned."Sorry? But you didn't do... Oh." She remembered the scene early in the morning. "No, it's okay. I've already forgiven you."

Jason looked amazed."You mean, you've already forgiven me?"

Piper shrugged."Yeah. Pretty much so." Jason gaped in wonder.

"Oh, come on! Why do people take me to be so mean?!" She hit Jason's arm playfully."You know, I'm not that mean. So, don't be so surprised. Though, I have to admit it, it was quite a good bit of flirting coming from you." She grinned.

Jason had expected anything but this, so he smiled in wonder at her thinking, This girl is just as good as I thought her to be. "Okay, so we're cool?"

"Absolutely."

"Wow! I'm in good luck." Jason said, jokingly.

Piper hit his arm again, but this time hard. She grinned as he winced in pain.

"Ow! What was that for? No wonder people think you're mean." Jason said, rubbing his arm.

Piper gave him a death glare and was about to hit him again, when he raised his hands, surrendering. Piper couldn't help a smile as he did this and turned, walking away from him, to hide it.

"Wait!" Jason called after her. But Piper pretended not to hear and jogged away from him. Jason followed and caught up with her, catching her wrist so she couldn't get away any further. He pulled her hand and Piper had to turn back to stop her hand from hurting.

"What?!" Piper said crossly.

"Hey, you were in such a good mood and forgave me too. Couldn't you just keep that up?" Jason pleaded with her.

Piper laughed."Okay. What do you want?"

"Your friendship. I really wanna know the guys in my group better. Can we be friends?"

Piper was caught by surprise. Right now, she only understood two facts:

1. She and Jason were standing REAL close.

2. Jason, of all people wanted to be her friend. He also said sorry. Wow.

She took a deep breath and then smiled."Of course! Is that even a question?"

Jason laughed and said,"I knew you would agree." He stared into her eyes. Her face was looking so cute tilted up to look at him. Her eyes were the only thing that distracted him though. They were looking so lovely in the sun glistening brightly in three different colors in the sun.

On the other hand, Piper was panicking. Jason was real close to her. Closer than any boy had been. But she couldn't help looking into his lovely sky-blue eyes. A scar on his face near his lips made him look so cute. Piper could not stand it anymore. Standing so close to Jason was freaking her out. She didn't know why, but she looked down to hide her blush.

Jason saw her embarrassment and released her, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry.. I... I'll catch you later." And he ran off glancing back at her one last time with a smile on his face.

Piper sat down on the grass. She took a few shaky breaths. Woah, she thought, What's wrong with me? What happened to me? But she couldn't shake away the thought of him being so close to her. Then, as if she couldn't bear to spoil the rest of the walk, she stood up, resolving to leave all the thoughts behind her.

She found Hazel, but she was busy talking to Frank. Thinking she must probably not interrupt, she joined Reyna and Nico. "Hi, Reyna! I thought as Hazel was talking to Frank, I'd join you. It's okay, right?"

Reyna gave her a ready smile and nodded."Of course, Piper."

Nico raised his eyebrows when he heard Frank was talking to Hazel. when inquired by Piper, who noticed his expression, he replied,"No, it's nothing Piper. Just thinking about something."

As the three talked, Reyna couldn't help noticing Piper seemed a little overwhelmed and ... somehow, scared. But she dismissed this suspicion as a misconception and she enjoyed herself talking to her newest best friends.

END FLAHBACK

As Piper related everything to her, everything from the incident in the morning till whatever happened in the garden, Annabeth frowned in surprise. She understood the problem as it was and felt really sorry for Piper. At the end of it, she gave Piper a big hug, but lied to her, saying,"It's okay, Piper. It'll work out. Maybe you just don't like Jason."

Piper nodded, but she knew this wasn't true. She did like Jason, she knew that much. But then, what was she afraid of?

Bye guys! I really need to go! Will bring you another chapter soon! Please leave comments!
