The Chosen Demigods

Chapter 51

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm doing the enrichment test for my highschool tomorrow and I'm super nervous because OH HECK NO and I have no idea why I'm telling you this sorry.  ALSO THIS EDIT I CANNOT. I am a proud Slytherin, but when I did the test when I was ten, I got Hufflepuff, meaning that it was a bit of a shock when  re-did it when I was eleven and got Slytherin. However, I LOVE Hufflepuff house, and think the under-representation you guys got was a crime. LOVE YOU!!!! I also love the other houses, obviously. 90% of my friends are Ravenclaws, and a fair few are Gryffindors, BUT STILL. Hufflepuffs hold a special place in my heart. 

ANYWAY

ON WITH THE STORY!

................

Piper's POV

The four of us stood under the shade of a palm tree, watching Monica and another one of her friends Caren as they "So... Who's gonna ask her?" I looked at the boys, who were avoiding Hazel's piercing haze. I groaned.

"Come on, guys! Hazel and I don't even know her that well, we're not even in her house!"
"So what?"
"That means that you guys should ask her." said Hazel pointedly.

"So we've spent more time with her, but you two are girls!" exclaimed Will.
"So what?"
"Well," started Nico. "Everyone knows that girls feel more comfortable around girls. It's just how it works." Hazel sighed, and rubbed her temple. 
"You know, I hate to admit it, but he does have a point, Pipes." I turned on the coffee-haired girl astounded. 
"Hazel! I'm disappointed in you." I said pouting. 
"Doesn't change the fact they're right." 
"You've betrayed me!" I cried, leaning on her. 
"Piper-"
"I can't believe this!" I said into her shoulder, hugging her from behind. 

"Piper!" hissed Nico. "They'll hear us." I looked up to see Caren looking at me strangely. 
"Oh." The Italian sighed, and leaned against the trunk of the tree. 

"Whatever. So you guys are asking her, right?" Hazel exhaled heavily. 
"It would appear so." 
"Great!" said sunshine personified. "So we just stand here?"
"Yup."
"And don't do anything." 
"Well, I wouldn't do nothing, maybe just..." I waved my hand around. "Hang out?"

"So annoy Nico." The raven haired boy turned on his boyfriend. 
"What?!"
"That's pretty much what she said~" sang Solace, resting his chin on Nico's shoulder. I laughed as the shorter boy spluttered as his face turned an adorable shade of pink. 

"Shut up, Solace."
I chuckled, and exchanged looks with Hazel. 

"Boys." she giggled, and grabbed my forearm. "So how do you suggest we do this?" she asked as she tugged me across the sun-soaked lawn. It was a friday afternoon, which meant no classes. I should be taking this time to finish any homework I haven't completed, but let's be honest. It doesn't really matter. Our goal here isn't to be good students, it's to destroy the horcrux. BUT STILL I HAVE A ESSAY FOR ALECTO THAT I NEED TO GET DONE AND THESE IDIOTS DECIDED THAT I HAD I COME HERE AND HELP INSTEAD!!!!

"Uh, Piper?" I looked up at Hazel quickly, and tried to smile. I'm pretty sure it looked more like a grimace. 
"Yes?" I asked through my clenched jaw. Hazel sighed. 
"You're not still mad about that essay, are you?" she asked in a monotone voice. I pouted. 
"Yes. Yes I am." she groaned. 

"Piper! Hazel!" I looked across the grass to see Monica waving at us cheerily. Guilt pooled in my stomach. She's in such a good mood... Do we really have to ruin it?
"Hazel-" I muttered. "She looks so happy. Do we really need to ask her now?" I saw Hazel frown out of the corner of my eye, but she just kept leading me. The frown slipped away, just as quickly as it came, and she beamed at Monica.
