A Different Reality (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chp 9 - Piper's POV

Piper read Jason's response.

J: It wasn't exactly a compliment...

She laughed at that and turned her attention to class.

Who is Annabeth?

Percy's girlfriend, my best friend.

Why did your boyfriend say you sound like her?

Because she is scary.

I thought she was your friend.

She is. But she also knows how to be scary.

The bell rang. Piper gathered her things. Percy passed by her and gave her a small wave.

Can we please get an interview with him?

I already said no.

Piper went to her lockers to get her books for next subject.

***

Classes are over. What do we do now?

We're going to see Claire. I miss her, and I want to check on her.

Fine with me, where do I find her?

In our office, of course! She didn't come to class this morning, but she'll definitely be there.

***

"Trish! It's sooooo good to see you!"

Claire was a girl with round face, glasses and wave brown hair, and that's all what Piper saw before she was enveloped in a bone-crushing hug.

Just a weekend and you miss each other that much? Is she really just a friend? I won't judge, I swear.

She is not just a friend, she is my best friend! And no need to be sutil, I'm not a lesbian. And it was not just a weekend, she was sick, I hadn't seen her since Wednesday.

"I wanted to talk to you, I had an awesome idea to the paper! Oh, and we had to do a third edition from the last one, thank you so much for getting that interview for me!"

"Not a problem!"

Should I be worried about this interview?

Why?

Because I'm stuck with you. And I'm starting to get a picture of you. You have a gift to get into someone's nerve.

Have you tried yoga or pilates? It can do wonders to your body and teaches how to breath, relax, find peace... and NOT lose your temper so easily. Geez!

Don't try to change the subject.

I wasn't.

And don't play dumb either.

I'm a great actress. Believe me, if I was playing dumb, you wouldn't notice.

Anyway. And I also noticed you have a charmspeak of your own.
