Chapter 56

JAMIE: 

"I see sparks flying." Megan whispered on Winona's ear in a rush way. "This isn't according to plan. Do you think we should abort?" Winona grimaced and tugged Clyde's hand closer. He didn't pay attention since he's busy talking with the Dorkwad and Shitface. 

"At times like this, I don't know if he's my brother."

I looked at them funny as if there was a sweat drop on my forehead. They thought that I didn't know what they were doing during the trip  but I do. I know that they're setting me up with Greyson, hoping that we get back together. 

Not gonna happen. 

Not ever. 

 "Sooo.." Wesly stuffed his hands on both pockets. "You're leaving tomorrow, right?"

I meekly nodded. "Yeah."

"How about before you go back to Paris, you and me..." He shrugged. "Go have a picnic at the beach or something." He holds my hand which makes us stop and let the others walk past us. Greyson didn't seem like he's bothered by it at all. It was as if I was never even here in the first place. 

What's up with that? Wait.... Why do I even care?

"That would be awes---" 

I'm a goofy goober. YEAH! You're a goofy goober. YEAH! We're all goofy goobe-- 

I quickly unlocked my phone and pressed it against my ear. There's no way I can face Wesley again without my ears pink. I mean, come on! A girl with a personality like this has a Goofy Goober ring tone? HAHAHahaha.....I am so embarrassed. =,=

"H-Hello?"

"Darling! How are you?" Great. It's Dad. Which explains this silly ringtone. 

"I'm fine, Dad. Why'd you call me?" 

"Well, I'm having a guest tonight. We're planning on throwing him a welcome party and you're gonna be the host." He said in a jolly tune. "So I want you to get a plane back here and celebrate with us."  Why me? Why not Rose? Can't you see I'm hanging out with my friends slash I'm going on a picnic/date tomorrow with Wesley?

"No can do." 

"Oh. Then I better tell Rick Riordan that---" 

"Wait. D-Did you just said Rick Riordan?" Even though he's at Paris, I can tell that my Dad's smirking in a triumphant way. "Like...like the Percy Jackson Rick Riordan?" 

"Uh-huh." 

I stood there, gawking about what will happen if I get to shake hands with my third favorite author (second is Stephen Chbosky and the first is Jay Asher). Oh my freaking greek gods. Rick Riordan is coming at our house and I'm gonna be the host of the welcome party. His welcome party. 

"F-Forget what I said earlier. J-Just let me take my bags---wait, scratch that---Forget the bags, I'm going straight at the airport." I ended the call and faced my friends with an impish grin. "Something came up so I have to go back to Paris." 

"So I heard." Winona squinted her eyes at me and her brother. "So I heard." 

Oh shit! The Beach Picnic!  My eyes widen as I realized that I can't do both at the same time. Okay, Jamie. Which weighs more? Wesley or meeting Rick Riordan? Hmm...GAHH! This is so frustrating! 

"Why don't I take you at the airport?" Wesley offered and awkwardly scratches the back of his neck. "We can grab something to eat while we're going there and maybe...you know, talk." He smiles his adorable smile that made my stomach loop.
