Mortals meet demigods

Mandy Erikson

Mandy Erikson's PoV

Let's face it. I'm the best person at this school. I'm cute-no, beautiful-no, drop-dead gorgeous. Yeah, I like that. I have naturally brown hair, but I dye it blonde, because it matches my stunning blue eyes. I can get any boy knocking on my door. I'm an expert at flirting. It's a special talent of mine.

Anyway, flirting is what I had in mind when I saw the hot new boy. He had military-cut blonde hair with a groove on one side. He had these bright, electric blue eyes that sent a jolt through you when you looked at them. On his upper lip, there was the tiniest little scar. On his forearm, he had a tattoo that said SPQR and had a weird design. He had muscle, too. I liked him immediately.

I walked up to him, the people parting the way for me to move freely through the halls. I tapped him on the shoulder, putting on one of my winning smiles.

"Hey, boy. You free tonight?" I said, running my hand up and down his arm. He turned around, and instead of dropping to his knees like most boys do, he just looked slightly annoyed, as if he had more important things to do.

"Uh, sorry, who are you again?" he said, with an edge of laughter in his voice. The people in the hall, who had dropped their conversations and had started watching me, like they should, giggled and laughed. A few girls swooned.

"My name's Mandy, hon. And you are?" I said seductively.

"I'm Jason, I have a girlfriend, and I would like you to kindly leave. Thanks." he retorted. With that, he closed his locker and walked away laughing, not even looking back or anything. The crowd was hysterical. I, Mandy Erikson, did NOT get rejected. Ever. But I knew that I could win him over. I always do.

"She can't be better than me," I called after him. Jason turned around and laughed even harder.

"Sorry, but I don't think you're perfect. You're not beautiful like her, not funny like her, not nice like her, and apparently not smart enough to take a hint like her." Jason said, getting this weird dreamy expression on his face when he talked about his girlfriend.

"Maybe I can meet her and we'll see who's better." I said with a smile, knowing that I could outclass whoever this bitch was any day.

Jason laughed again. "Fine. She's picking me up after school. You can meet her in the parking lot."

I smiled my winning smile, knowing that I had won. "See ya then, babe." I said sweetly.

"Don't call me babe." Jason called as he walked down the hall.

THIS LINE BREAK LOVES BANANAS

I put on a fresh coat of hot pink lipstick as I walked to meet that hunk Jason in the parking lot. He was leaning against the wall, with an eager look on his face. Probably excited to see me. "Hey, Jase."

Jason's eager look faded, being replaced with one of annoyance. "Don't call me Jase. Only my sister can call me Jase." he growled, fed up.

Out of nowhere, an expensive-looking car pulled into the lot. Jason's face lit up. So this is that brat of a girlfriend, I thought. Please. Money can't get you everything.

A girl stepped out of the car, and my jaw dropped. I hate to say it, but this girl wasn't bad looking. At all. She looked like a Native American, with brown hair that looked like a 2-year-old had gone near it with his daddy's big-boy scissors, and weird eyes that reminded me of a kaleidoscope. She ran towards Jason like she hadn't seen him in years.

"Piper!" Jason called out. He grabbed 'Piper', spun her around, and kissed her. On the lips. I was fuming.

"Ahem? Gorgeous girl over here?" I said. I officially hated Jason's girlfriend.

Piper turned around, and gave me a once-over. She gave me a sweet smile, and said, "Why are you messing around with my boyfriend?"

I glared. "I'm Mandy, Jason's NEW girlfriend. Sorry, hon. You're old news."

Jason and Piper looked at each other and laughed. At me. I, Mandy Erikson, was getting laughed at.

Piper wiped away a tear. "Uh, do you know what we've been through together? I doubt that some slut could replace what we have. I recommend backing away from Jason and finding yourself some football dude." she said in between giggles.

"Why should I?" I retorted. "Jason and I are meant for each other."

Piper's smile vanished. She wasn't laughing anymore. "Because you don't love him. You want to take him home for the night and dump him the next day. I, on the other hand, love Jason. A lot. More than YOU could ever comprehend."

Jason pulled Piper close. "And I love Piper. And what we have sure as hell won't be ruined my you."

"Fine," I said, shocked. "But when you break up, I'll be waiting." I blew Jason a kiss, gave Piper one final glare, and walked away. There was always the basketball team.

While I walked away, I overheard their conversation.

"Pipes, you saved my life. Again. I don't know where I'd be without you," Jason said happily. What did he mean, again?

"You'd probably have your sorry ass in the underworld by now," Piper replied. Underworld? This chick was insane!

But Jason just laughed. "True that, Beauty Queen."

"Let's get going, Sparky," Piper said, probably smiling.

I ran, as far away as I could get. I couldn't take it anymore. I saw the way he looked at her, and the way she returned those looks. I'd never have Jason. He was taken. But when you're the most gorgeous girl at your school, you've got nothing to worry about. I'd have a new boyfriend by tomorrow.

This is over due sorry guys...but here!!!
