My Bestfriend's Brother (A Percy Jackson Fanfic)

Bread

I layed in my bed for a long time,deep in thought and thinking about my argument with Percy. I wasn't really listening to Penny about her date,which isn't like me. But the events happening before that couldn't leave my mind. True,I've fought with a lot of guys,telling them to leave me alone and whatnot,but this affected me a lot. I hate getting prejudiced because of my parents. But the way Percy said it,it made me feel like a knife was plunging through me. He had no rights to diss me off like that. But something that me got me was about Luke. Did I really like him? Sure,he was a good guy..but I don't know. I don't get it.

I was careful to avoid Percy's eyes at dinner. I ate as fast as I could and went to bed early,but wasn't sleepy. Even after reading. I kept tossing and turning. For the first time in a long time,I thought about my real mother. I hardly remember her,and my step mother threw away all the pictures about her and stuff. But she was the best,that's for sure. Pretty soon,thoughts swept away and I fell into a deep sleep.

oOoOo

"So..should we buy new clothes? I mean,I'm not a shopping person,but-"

"Piper,shut up."

"Hi." I yawned,walking in and tying my hair up in a bun. Penny looked up and smiled at me.

"Hey. So wanna go shopping with us for Drew's party?"

"That's what I've been asking you for the past one hour,and you kept on saying no!" Piper protested,throwing her hands up. Penny ignored her. I smiled faintly.

"Uh..that's okay. You guys go."

"Suit yourself. I'm sure you'll be about Piper's size." Penny assumed. Piper nodded as she filled her mouth with a spoonful of cereal.

"Morning ladies." Percy walked in,giving his sister a knock on the head as he walked past her. She scowled but didn't say anything. I felt his green eyes rest on me and I quickly looked away.

"So! When are you guys going for shopping?" Percy asked. Penny raised her eyebrows,and Percy sighed.

"I overhead from the kitchen,okay?"

Crap. If I stayed at home,Percy would stay too. Oh maybe,he would go out to another girl's house. Probably Rachel,or a to another poor girl. Penny shrugged.

"Maybe after lunch. And no,you can't bring a girl back here,because Annabeth's staying and I don't want to find your underwear in the kitchen again..or worse.."

"A used cond-"

"Okaaay! So don't you have something else to do?" Penny interrupted "I don't know,go to Rachel's."

"Wow,I feel the love sis. And I broke up with her,she was too clingy." He shrugged. My eyes darted towards him,and I found him looking at me. I quickly looked towards Penny,who wasn't even looking. Piper however,was staring at Percy with a curious look on her face. I quickly looked away. Was he probably affected by what I told him yesterday? Or was this a coincidence?

"Well,good for you. Who's next?" Penny asked,not a care in the world. Percy shrugged,not answering. Weird.

oOoOo

"Sure you don't wanna come?" Piper asked with a tiny smile. I shook my head.

"Nah,I'm good. Just gunna sleep. Didn't sleep good last night." I told her. From behind her,I heard Penny say,"Pipes,don't make me regret this already."

"See ya." I smiled. She shot a finger gun at me just as she closed the door. Sighing,I turned around but stopped when I saw Percy. He moistened his lips.
