"No. Seriously." Nico stated, eyes wide, staring at the small phone screen. "I don't understand how that's possible."

"Me either!" Thalia agreed. "How does this happen? We should do it more often!"

"Oh?" Percy raised his eyebrows. "Now you like my idea?"

Annabeth nodded. "I guess that they do. It is pretty fascinating, considering the circumstances. You post a new album and new videos, and that is what gets the most views?"

"I guess so. Why does that have more views then the actual video?" Piper asked.

Percy grinned. "Hey, everybody loves behind the scenes."

"Why are we even doing this? Not one person out of the three of us has talked to any of them yet, much less him!" Rachel complained.

"Not true!" Calypso countered back.

"But it is."

"It is pretty hard to talk to him when you don't have any classes with him." Drew admitted. To Rachel, that was a start.

"Yeah. So why don't we just call it quits?" She asked, exasperated.

Calypso gasped. "You're just saying that because you know that he'll never like you the way that he likes me!" Rachel snorted.

"In your dreams, girl."

"Nuh-uh!"

"Oh please, Calypso. Every girl in this freaking school likes him, you can't denied that. Every girl in this freaking school wants to date him, you can't deny that either. Correct?" Rachel decided to try the logical way out. Calypso nodded silently, so Rachel continued.

"So why do you think that, out of every girl in this school, you're going to be the one to date him. I, for your sake of course, would rather try to play it cool. He seems to like those girls, and even if he doesn't decide to date you, which is very unlikely, you won't be disappointed because your standards would be so low. So basically, it's a win win either way."

"It's not a win win either way!" Calypso argued. Rachel inwardly sighed. "Why would Percy not want to date me? Why would he date that... that Annabelle girl instead?"

"I know, right!" Drew agreed. This time, Rachel actually sighed aloud.

"How do you know that he won't like your snobby and needy attitude?" She muttered under her breath.

"What was that?" Calypso asked, glaring.

"Oh, nothing!" Rachel put on the tiring "rich girl" act that she often used around her friends. That's how you know that they aren't your true friends.

"Good."

The three girls looked around. Rachel snuck a blue pen out of her pocket and started sketching on Calypso's science homework.

"I still want to do the dare." Calypso stated after a minute. She snatched her homework away from Rachel and inwardly congratulated her with her fantastic drawing skills.

"Why, Calypso? Why do you want to do this?" Rachel asked, pleading. She then got another idea, she just had to hear why Calypso wanted to do it.

"I want people to see that I can get the guy."

"But you can already get the guy." Drew was confused.

"Every guy except for one." Calypso said, leaving all of them knowing the words that weren't spoken. Percy Jackson.

"Fine." Rachel decided that Calypso should at least give it a chance. As unlikely as it was, she did have a small chance at actually getting him. Rachel decided to be a good friend and let her do it.

And they never knew what would have happened if Rachel hadn't done that.

As August became September which became October, the weather changed, leaves falling off trees daily and the temperature much more humid. But TB3 continued to go to Goode High School, and as much as they didn't want to admit it, they were having a blast.

"Hey, did you hear about the talent show?" Hazel, another friend of Piper and Annabeth, asked Thalia as they wAlked down the hallway to Lunch.

"No. Why? Are you saying that we should guest star or something?" She asked. Hazel laughed.

"No! You should enter! You go to this school too, you know!"

"I don't know... it wouldn't exactly be fair to the other competitors, so we might just guest star or sing for the fun of it."

"Okay! As long as you sing, you guys are awesome!"

"Aw, thanks!"

"So will you do it?"

"Sure. When is it?" Thalia was curious.

"In December. You have a month to sign up and try out, then another month to practice and perfect it. They will be a winner for solos and non-singing acts and a different winner for duets or groups of people."

"Perfect! Thanks, Hazel." They walked to the table full of their friends. Thalia noticed Calypso and her two friends look over, but didn't do or say anything about it.

I know, I know. It's really short. But I have an extra long chapter in the making! I'll try to get it up today if I can. But no promises! :)

This chapter is dedicated to Florence23! You go!

I can't believe that I actually wrote a chapter that's around 800+ words! AGH!

UNT (Until Next Time),
