Soulmates (PJO//HOO)

Chapter 24

Jason's POV
After we found Percy and Annabeth, we walked to the cafeteria.

Soon later, Leo came back and some stuff happened.

Okay, this is boring.

Anyway, after lunch, Percy, Frank and I started walking to our next period.

"Yo Jace."

I rolled my eyes. "What Percy."

He turned to me and smirked. "Why were you so blushy and jumpy earlier?"

Against my wishes, I blushed.

"I could say the same to you. I'm so very sorry for ruining your moment with Annabeth earlier."

He blushed and frowned. "H-hey! We need to include Frank! I-uh, I saw your conversation with Hazel! All you did blush. And uh, stuff I guess."

Netherless, we were all a blushing mess walking to ELA.

Rachel raised a brow. "Why are you red?"

Percy smirked, even though he was still red. "Well so are you. R.E.D."

Rachel rolled her eyes. "I wonder if I even missed you."

"Oh you love me."

"Debatable."

"Okay students! I am your sub, Mr.Apollo. Some may know me as the choir or theatre teacher. Mrs.Minerva isn't here today and against her wishes, you all have free time."

Percy slowly turned to me his eyebrows jumping up and down.

I resisted the urge to facepalm.

"So Sparky, what exactly happened with you and Piper?"

I crossed my arms. "I don't have to tell you."

Percy slowly grinned and took out the beaded necklace on his neck. We all had one, and each year we would get a bead that represented that year.

Percy and I had bro beads.

Just something to put out, Percy and Grover have BESTIE beads which is better than bro bc people always forget abt Grover and it makes me so madddd

"Bro Power!!"

I cursed in Latin. "Fine."

-Flashback-

Piper and I were awkwardly walking down the hall looking for anyone really.

Every time our hands brushed together my heart would beat faster.

I know, cliche.

"So..."

I rubbed the back of my neck. "So..."

She sighed. "So how's football?"

I shrugged. "It's-uh, going. What do you think of Mr.Apollo in Theatre Tech?"

She frowned. "Sometimes he's really into it, but sometimes he's just not in the mood. It's kind of annoying."

I gasped. "I thought I was the only one who thought that!"

She repeatedly slapped my arm as if she made a new discovery. "Oh my gods! I think he thinks that everyone likes him but really, he's okay I guess."

She stopped hitting my arm and I rubbed it.

She looked at me and winced. "Sorry. I got a little excited."

I smiled. "It's fine."

We made small conversations but we really didn't have much to talk about.

"So, do you like Greek or Roman mythology."

I thought for a moment. "I think I like Roman better."

She gasped. "Why would you think that?! Has someone blackmailed you to say that or else you'll be reduced to a pile of ashes?"

I blinked. "Uh, that's pretty specific but nah. I've always understood Roman mythology. And it's a lot more organized than Greek."

Piper abruptly stopped. "Are you saying it's better than Greek?"

I carefully chose my words. "I didn't say that exactly."

She frowned. "But you were implying it."

I shrugged. "I guess."

She took a step closer to me. "Well, Greek is better."

Those simple words made me believe it was true, but I shook my head.

"Roman."

She stepped closer. "Greek."

I crossed my arms. "Roman."

She raised a brow. "Why would Roman be better? It's so, uh, Roman."

I grinned. "Exactly."

She walked up into my face to where I could feel her breath on my face. "Greek is better."

I froze, not knowing what to say.

My cheeks started tinting but I didn't want to look away.

We stood there for a while until I heard a familiar voice.

"Yeah."

It was faint, but it was enough for me to jump and stop staring at Piper.

Piper heard it to because she jumped.

"I-uh, I heard Percy."

She nodded and grabbed my hand. "Let's go."

-End Flashback-

Percy bursted our laughing. "You were fighting over what?"

I pouted. "That's all you got from that?"

He grinned. "Well yea. Especially if Piper was right and you were wrong."

"Your supposed to be my bro." I whined.

He shrugged. "You know Jace, you'll be my bro no matter what."

I smiled.

"Even if you have the most wrongest opinion ever."

"Hey!"
