Jason's POV
Yesterday, I got to know two of the Selection girls. First one was actually nice but the second one was a jerk. I have never been with a girl, to be honest, and that girl, oh my god, I don't know who selected her.
Let's not ruin our day by talking about someone who you don't like to think of, I sign. After the awkward evening, I collided with Annabeth who told me to meet her today after twelve.
Thalia. I haven't tried to approach her fearing that she would probably be angry with me. Should I go to her or not? If I do I have to face the wrath of my big sis after all that happened in Piper's room.
Oh yeah. Piper. I haven't had a word with her since yesterday. How stupid I am! And Annabeth had told to bring Piper with me. I have to inform her.
I start towards the familiar corridor and into her room to find Calypso.
"Hello Your Majesty !" she says. I have told a million times not to call me that, but she doesn't listen.
"Hello, Calypso. Where is-? "
"Piper. When I came here in the morning, she wasn't there. I just saw this letter on the table." Calypso says, handing me the letter.

My eyes widen. How could she? I check the back of the letter for any signs of the brochure but find nothing. On the table, there is an envelope, nothing in it.
I sign. I catch Calypso looking at me.
"What? " I ask.
"Something is going on in her small heart." She smiles.
"You want to know where is Piper, right? " She gestures me to follow her to the balcony. And down there, I see two figures. One of them holding a paper.
With the letter clenched in my hand, I rush towards the door and the garden. Oh gods, no!
Till the time, I reach there, I see Piper talking to Thalia with a paper in her hand. They are discussing something. But I don't care. I start towards them. But too late. Piper hands the paper to Thalia.
Everything goes numb. I don't understand what is happening. My eyes still on the scene, I see the Thalia smiling and I hear her.
"Seriously, Piper." She says.
What is happening? I hide behind a bush to eavesdrop.
"Thanks for the opportunity, Thalia. But I don't think... " Piper's voice trails.
"Oh, it's alright, Piper. I respect your decision. I think it's time for you to go. Your classes are there, right. Meet you tomorrow. You did a fantastic job today. We will do sword-fighting next time. Bye. "
And with this, they part. I don't know what to say or do. My brain is still processing what it saw and hear just now.
"Spying, huh? Sparky or I must say Jason Grace of Illea. " I hear a voice behind me. Thalia.
