Your pov

After about an hour I found camp again and I shadow traveled to the Big House to warn everyone about Drew, but when I got there everyone was already there, including Leo. I wanted to 

1) Punch him
2) Hug him and
3) Confess my feelings to him which would include the two above.

But I stayed back because if I took another step I would fall. Percy saw this and pulled up a chair and poured some water on my head. 

"Thanks Perc" I already felt my energy going up. "Why are you all  meeting here?"

"A camper is missing. It is D-"

"Drew, I know" I interrupted Chiron. "I had a dream." I explained. If a mortal said that, people would think they are crazy, but being a demigod, we understood that dreams were never just dreams.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So we have concluded that Connor, Will, and Miranda will be going on this quest"

"Wait what?! There was no prophecy or anything! I should go, I had the dream and-" I ranted, it would not be a good idea for Connor and Miranda to go together. No I wasn't jealous, but they may get distracted.

"No buts about it y/n. You are correct, there is no prophecy for them, but you do have a prophecy and we don't know if this is it."

"What isn't clear about She must retrieve one of her own?! That must mean Drew."

"We are very sorry Y/n, but the decision is final." Chiron ended the meeting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Y/n wait up!" Someone yelled.

"Oh so after a month you decide to talk to me?" I turned to Piper.

"I'm sorry, but-" 

"So am I" I knew that Leo liked me, but Piper didn't know that I knew.

"What?" She asked.

"Well Connor and I broke up....today." I sighed. "But I know something" I smirked putting my head down.

"OH MY GODS YOU FIGURED IT OUT!!" I took a step back in surprise. "What? I'm a child of Aphrodite I know these things" Piper smiled happily.

"Wait what?"

"How did you figure out that Leo liked you?"

"Well I may have sorta charm-speaked him" I said guiltily. 

Piper giggled, but stopped suddenly. "Wait you said Connor and you broke up?!"

"Yeah, but the more I think about it the more I think that I never actually liked him."

"Wait really?" Piper exclaimed and I nodded. "Well anyway what are you going to do about Leo?"

"Well he's been avoiding me ever since I found out and he probably doesn't like me anymore" I said looking down.

"Soooo you like him back" Piper said and I looked up to see her smirking.

"What? I-He-Wha-Noooooooo. I didn't say that" I blushed.

"So you do. Let's go" Pipes smirked.

"What where are we going?"

"To ask him out of course!"

She pulled me and-

"JASON?!"

"LEO?!"

Leo's pov

"Hey Leo wait up!" Jason yelled after the meeting.

"Hey what's up?" I said to the blonde boy. 

"What's up with you? You've been looking paranoid all day."

"Y/n found out that I liked her." I said. 

"Wait isn't that good?" Jason asked, confused.

"Well not if she doesn't like me back. Although who wouldn't like this?" I flexed my nonexistent muscles. We both laughed and everything became quiet for a second. Then we heard a voice:

"Wait really?" the person yelled and Jason and I looked over a bush. "Well anyway what are you going to do about Leo?" It was Piper we could both tell, but who was she talking to? And why was she talking about me?

"Well he's been avoiding me ever since I found out and he probably doesn't like me anymore" Another voice said. Y/n.

"Soooo you like him back" Piper said and I blushed which caused my hair to catch on fire.

"Leo!" Jason whispered, trying to put out my hair. "Ahhh!" Jason's sleeve caught on fire and soon his whole shirt  was smoldering.

The bushes moved and-

"JASON?!"

"LEO?!"

"H-hey guys" I said awkwardly. The two girls looked from me to Jason to me again. "What?! It wasn't my fault." Y/n sighed and brought up water from the lake and dumped it on Jason's head.

Jason sighed in relief and the girls laughed. Y/n looked at me and my face heated up, but luckily it didn't catch on fire. "So you're spying on us now Valdez?" She smirked playfully. 

"What? I-We-Wha-Noooooooo." I said sheepishly.  

"OH MY GODS. I SHIP IT. I CAN'T. YOU GUYS SOUND THE SAMEEEEE!" We both turned to the screeching sound coming from Piper. "THAT'S THE SAME THING THAT SHE SAID!!!!!"

"Oooook?" 

I turned to Y/n. "Can we talk?" Y/n nodded and looked at the ground. We headed toward the beach, but of course-
