Piper

Piper was in a pickle. The moment she laid eyes on Percy, she was in love. And yeah it was bad. Piper was in love with Jason and they had finally kissed while working on the Argo II. They were a couple after all of Piper’s pleading to her mom. Her mom even approved of Jason! But Percy was so handsome. He was a perfect tan, had a VERY visible 8-pack, the most beautiful sea-green eyes, a gleaming white smile, messy jet-black hair, and a strong aura of power unlike Jason's in every way.

 It was messed up to the max. At least piper wasn’t the only one with cheating-on-boyfriends-kind-of problems. The girl Hazel seemed to glance at Leo but then hurriedly go back to whatever she was doing. She was with the Frank guy. Leo seemed to know her too. It was like a ghost in their pasts. Piper shouldn’t have even been thinking about that, curse Aphrodite for being her mother.

 So anyways, when Percy kissed Annabeth in their little reunion, Piper couldn’t help but being a little jealous. The girl Reyna also looked like she was in pain at the reunion. She and Jason apparently had a “thing” except Jason never remembered she like Percy did Annabeth so he obviously didn’t love her…plus he seemed more protective of me especially after my few giggling and blushing fits whenever I talked to Percy. Annabeth only noticed Reyna’s affection thank the gods. Annabeth was like her best friend and that would be backstabbing her if Piper fell in love with Percy. Even Thalia, the hunter who swore off boys forever, hugged Percy.

They were  good friends that was easy to tell. The camp definitely loved him more than Piper thought. They were kind of depressed up until the moment Jason announced that him and Percy switched places, but now they were all so different especially Annabeth. Piper had never seen that girl smile for so long.

Of course there just had to be a catch. No way was that reunion going to go as smooth as that. Gaea and the gods saw to that. The agony Percy was in was too unbearable for Piper. She had such a soft heart. She went to go comfort Annabeth as she sobbed into Piper’s shoulder. She tried to charmspeak her, but Piper’s voice was shaking too much to take effect. They soon found out that Percy had been taken by Gaea.

The entire camp, both Romans and Greeks, fell into a trance. They all thought Percy was dead and almost everyone including Clarisse started to cry. Clarisse didn’t seem to hate Percy as much as everyone else other than her boyfriend Chris Rodriguez.

The moment Percy was trapped in the bolt of lightning and in the sky, a boy named Dakota yelled, “It’s Percy! He’s not dead!” all of Percy’s close friends and Leo, Jason, and Piper tried to get him, but their efforts were useless he was transported to gods knows where through a portal. With that happy note everyone fell back to the gloomy mood that had taken over Camp Jupiter. It felt like years until Percy was thrown out of the portal. He used his amazing sea powers to land safely. Millions of questions were asked but with a worried, soft voice. Leo didn’t even look excited. Percy told everyone that he swore on the River Styx he wouldn’t say anything.

The only information they received was that he paid a visit with Gaea and all twelve Olympian gods. Sure Piper had heard rumors but that’s all they were, rumors. Even with his short explanation he managed to shock everyone. He even lost his invincibility! Reyna seemed thrilled to have a private conversation with Percy making Annabeth mad. Jason finally apologized for his rude behavior. Piper was wondering why Jason had to be so uptight.
