All winter I had been trying to forget about him. All winter I had tried to get over the fact that we were over

I hate myself. I should've told her how I felt before. Now my best friend since we were 12 now hates me and is my ex-girlfriend
Percy...
School was over super fast and I was so ready for this afternoon!!
It was a Friday and Piper and I organised a girl's outing so we could go shopping for our prom dresses. There is over a month left until prom, so we felt pretty good about this date. Unfortunately, Reyna had already found a dress and couldn't find one with us today. But she is still coming so we can have her input. We all met up at her house after school to talk and figure out who would go in what car. My Dad and Mum had been busy over this weekend and they couldn't trust me to stay home alone, and I have no idea why, I mean, Gods! I'm 17! But anyway, at least it meant I could have a sleepover with Reyna! It turned out Piper and Hazel were staying over as well so it would be a girls night!
I walked up to Reyna's cobblestone pathway and rang her doorbell. "Hey, Rachel!" Reyna called from her balcony. "C'mon up!"
I opened the door to reveal a relatively clean room. Two little girls sat in the middle of the room playing with a dollhouse. Reyna's mum came to greet me and told me to put my bags in a corner where I saw two other bags like mine. She told me to call her Rosie. Reyna, like Annabeth, had a step mum because their real Mothers had been goddesses (LUCKY) and were not able to 'treat them like a real daughter'. As I stared at Reyna's mum, I realised she could've passed as her real mother anytime. She had the same brown hair as Reyna and the same brown eyes. "Reyna's room is just upstairs and to the right" Reyna's mum said. I followed her directions and entered the room. It looked like everyone was already here. Everyone besides Reyna.
"Hey Annabeth..." I asked as I flopped down on Reyna's queen-sized bed. "Where's Reyna?"
"Oh she's just trying on her prom dress so we can see," Annabeth said. I was so excited about seeing Reyna in her dress that I completely forgot about going to the shopping centre (I know right? It was so silly of me!)
Just as the clock stuck three-fifteen Reyna emerged from the bathroom.

"Oh my gods!!!!" Piper squealed. "Reyna you look so beautiful!!" We all nodded in agreement. Piper couldn't contain her excitement, and, being the amazing Aphrodite child she is, she went over and inspected the dress whilst muttering comments such as "Nice colour" and " good material". We all laughed at Piper as she made Reyna lift her arms up to a certain angle as she inspected the torso section of the dress. She eventually approved the dress and gave Reyna one last hug. "Reyna, with that dress you will outshine all of the girls!" Juniper said. "Well, I do hope you look gorgeous, but please don't outshine ALL of us..." Selina said, looking at Juniper. We all laughed at this. "What I meant was, You'll look great on prom night." Juniper said. Reyna blushed. "T-thanks guys"
"Now I would love to stay and fan-girl all over Reyna's dress but I have a curfew and I'd rather be home with a dress," Annabeth said. A few of the girls nodded in agreement and within ten minutes, we were in cars heading for the shops.
