MONDAY
J: Hi, Pipes.
P: Jason? You texting in class? I'm telling Leo, he would be proud.
J: Ha ha. I was thinking, we could go out today.
P: Sure, why?
Do you wanna talk to her about Mackenzie?
Yes.
Good idea, take her on a date to talk about another girl.
Sarcasm doesn't fit you.
J: Do I need to have a reason?
P: Being you? Yes.
P: But sure, we can go out today. Meet me in my locker after this class.
J: Why?
P: Do I need to have a reason?
She got you.
P: I just want to give you a kiss, silly.

Jason kept looking around, but Piper wasn't there.
We're in the right locker, right?
If she didn't change since last weekend, yeah.
He saw a familiar blonde ponytail and approached the girl.
"Hey, Annabeth!"
She was in the middle of taking a book, but stopped to look at him.
"Jason? Is there a problem?"
"No, I was just wondering if you've seen Piper. We were supposed to meet at her locker, but she wasn't there."
Annabeth shook her head, taking her book and slowly closing her locker.
"No, I haven't. Maybe she was caught up in somet-"
"Annie! Don't close your locker!"
Jason looked up to see an unknown girl running in their direction. Apparently, Annabeth knew her, because she complied and waited for the girl to arrive.
"Jodi? What happened?"
The Jodi girl took a deep breath.
"Do you still have my book with you? The Complete Sherlock Holmes? With the hardcover?"
Annabeth nodded slowly.
"Yeah, I do, why?"
Jodi was obviously in a rush, with her hands extended for the book.
"Lend me it. It's quick, I promise, I just need to make a point."
Annabeth opened her locker again and handed Jodi a thick book, collector edition.
"Sure, it's your book after all."
"Keep your locker open, this will only take a minute."
Jodi left, striding toward a red-haired boy. Jason turned to Annabeth.
"You know her?"
"Yeah, she's friends with Percy. Or Peter, from a certain point of view. And now mine and Annie's too."
I know her.
You do?
Not 'best friends' know her. We had a class together a couple years ago. She's insanely smart.
