Oliver Reynolds POV

Do you ever wonder why some people just can't take a hint? That's my life right now. I should probably back up a bit, thought

Most days I hang out with four people. There's Percy Jackson, the guy everyone either hates, wants to be, or has a crush on, Bianca di Angelo, Percy's girlfriend, Nico, Bianca's emo younger brother, and Will Solace, Nico's boyfriend, who might as well be literal sunshine. My girlfriend Madison Pace is with us sometimes as well, but she's on the Knowlege Bowl team, which practices during lunch three days a week.

Back to my initial question. See, though Percy may be dating Bianca, there's this guy who never seems to stop trying to make a move on her when Percy and/or Nico isn't around.

The douches name is Jared Holmes. He leaves Bianca alone when Percy's there for obvious reasons, but he also avoids hitting on her when Nico's around, not just because he's her brother, but because Nico di Angelo has developed a reputation as being kind of creepy and intimidating. Naturally, this causes a lot of girls to crush on him, but it's usually not a problem like Jared is for Bianca.

See, Jared doesn't see her as at all intimidating, unlike her brother. I find that kind of funny, because he's clearly never seen the stare offs between her and Percy when they disagree about something. She almost always wins, either because Percy can't say no to her, or because she actually is quite intimidating when she wants to be.

One day, the six of us (Madison didn't have practice) were sitting at a lunch table, minding our own business, when Jared sauntered up like he owned the place. My guess is he saw Percy and Bianca bickering, all in good fun, and thought it would be the perfect time to try and steal her away.

"Hey, Bia. Wanna go somewhere after school, get away from this crowd?"

Bianca raised an eyebrow. She was silent for at least a minute. If Percy was worried he didn't show it, but I think he was entirely unconcerned. Bianca was better than that.

"One, don't call me Bia. Two, I have better things to do." A slight smirk spread across her face.

"Oh really? Surely you can spare an hour or two?"

"Hmm, I don't know, a date with my boyfriend seems pretty important."

Percy managed to look only slightly smug.

"That loser? Please, you could do so much better than him?"

Percy made a low sound like a growl and Nico gave him his best death glare. Most normal people would back down, but Jared just wouldn't take the hint. I met Madison and Wills eyebrow s. They were amused, watching this to play out like I was, but also ready to step in if necessary.

"I don't know, would your non-existant partner bring you a batch of their moms homemade cookies just because you're feeling down? Do they pick up your calls without failure, even in the middle of the night and they should be asleep? Would you carry her if she asked you to? Would you drop everything to make sure she's alright?"

Jared just stared blankly at her, like he'd never been rejected before. That was amusing, because I knew he had. He'd tried asking Madison out, only for her to blink at him a couple of times then walk away without a word. She asked me out later that day.

"Well? Would you?" Bianca pressed.

"Well, um-"

"Didn't think so. Now, if you would kindly lay off and go away."

As she said that last part, her eyes narrowed and the smile she normally had was replaced by a frown. But most importantly, she radiates the same fear people normally got from Nico. Jared backed away. I had to resist my urge to snicker. Bianca really could be intimidating if she wanted to be.

Jared ran.

Once he left, Bianca's scowl disappeared.

"Well, uh, guess that happened. Anyway, you and Percy are going on a date later?"

"Yup," said Bianca.

"You guys wanna go on a triple date? Haven't done that in awhile."

"Where's it at?" Asked Will.

"The ice cream parlor."

"Yeah!" Madison seemed on board with that idea, and who was I to deny her ice cream.

Jared tried several more times, but Bianca just got scarier with every new attempt.

Like i said, Bianca can be really intimidating when she wants
