#gives bagel concussion stars <3

[jasiper]

listen.......... just listen to me.......... a to all the boys i loved before au........

piper mclean, although a total babe, is very self-critical and she saw what heartbreak did to her father, so she wants no part in love. she also thinks her older sister, silena, creates such a shadow that she will never be noticed. she likes people, though. so instead of speaking up (her father never listened to her, so she started staying quiet) she wrote love letters to her five crushes throughout her life

letter #1: percy jackson. he was piper’s childhood best friend, and for a solid week, she thought she liked him. she was twelve and lonely and probably hormonal, and by the time she sealed up the letter, she realized that she did not like percy in the slightest— they were like siblings, and plus, percy liked annabeth chase since the sixth grade anyways.

letter #2: charles beckendorf. he liked silena for as long as piper can remember, and they were high school sweethearts. he was very sweet, helped out their mom when she were car troubles, and adored silena’s sisters. when they were freshmen and piper was in eighth grade, she had a fat crush on him. that faded pretty quickly when she realized he was destined for silena.

letter #3: will solace. when piper got hit in the head with a volleyball during her freshman season, will was helping the doctor at the game. he got her water and an ice pack. he smiled at her, and she felt a lot better even though she got a nasty concussion. he was cute, kind of like a puppy, and they spoke maybe one time after that game.

letter #4: reyna ramirez-arellano. (piper is bisexual, thanks!) she was in piper’s p.e. class freshman year. she was always the first person to complete the mile, and she broke the school record for most pull-ups. she was gorgeous and took shit from no one. she was the first girl piper had a real crush on. but the feelings went away when reyna moved to a different school.

letter #5: jason grace. varsity lacrosse player since his freshman year, student council member, honors student. he was piper’s lab partner in chemistry sophomore year. he was seriously attractive and nice and laughed at all of her jokes. he brought her coffee every friday and before finals, he brought her a bagel. he was that kind of nice boy with no ulterior motives. if not for him, she would’ve flunked chem.

silena goes off to college and breaks up with charlie because of distance. piper enters her junior year, and drew, her younger sister, won’t stop bugging her about finding a boyfriend. i don’t need a boyfriend apparently wasn’t a good enough excuse for drew

piper is on her way to psych when jason grace stops her in the hallway. he’s holding up the letter and he’s confused because they seemed to be decent friends, and he’s asking if she’s liked him the entire time when he didn’t even notice. at this time, she sees will across the hallway with the letter in hand. in a moment of panic, piper grabs the front of jason’s shirt and kisses him. he’s shocked, and she promptly breaks away and makes a beeline for the bathroom.

the bell rings, and she accepts the fact that she’s missing psych, and will solace enters. he’s really nice, and he tells her that she’s very sweet, but he was more into boys than he was girls. she’s mortified, and she explains the situation to him

the next day, jason approaches her again and asks what was up with the letters. she tells him that in order for the whole thing to blow over, she needed an excuse to show she didn’t like the people anymore. she comes up with the idea to fake date, and she doesn’t think he’ll agree but he does. as if it’s the most natural thing in the world, he kisses her before going off to lacrosse, telling her “see ya later” over his shoulder

there’s no formal contract (sorry, piper is definitely not as detail-oriented as lara jean) but they decide a good stopping point is the annual student council beach trip. jason hardly ever has a plus one anyways, so he says that he’ll take her as a goodbye

piper’s best friend leo is convinced they like each other, to which piper denies completely. leo starts making bets with percy and annabeth to see when piper would get with jason. percy thinks the whole thing is hilarious. he and annabeth are ecstatic that it’s jason grace who’s in on the fake relationship. 

they do stereotypical couple things— they hold hands in the hallway and she goes to all his lacrosse games. he drives her and drew to school, and drew is stunned that piper managed to get the school’s golden boy.

piper doesn’t realize she likes jason until a few weeks into the act. they go to a party, and while jason is the sober one, she drinks a little too much. he wraps his arms around her and drives her home, and even though it’s late, he follows her inside and gets her into bed. he makes sure she’s safe and that she has water and advil on the table before ruffling her hair, wishing her a good night before leaving. the next morning, piper thinks oh fuck because she actually likes the guy

she tries to distance herself, because there is no way varsity lacrosse player, student council member, honor student jason grace could like her back. she remains oblivious to the fact that he really likes her back. this poor boy is head over heels and she thinks she’s the one in puppy love

the beach trip arrives, and piper is so excited because since annabeth is in student council, she’s going along with percy. she tries to stay away from jason, hanging out with the couple until they finally convince her to talk to jason

she finds him on the beach, and he finally tells her straight up that he likes her. she crawls onto his lap and although they don’t have sex, they definitely fool around under the stars.

she hears the whispers on the bus the following morning. people are whistling and high-fiving jason. the girls are giving her judgmental looks, and she feels sick to her stomach. jason is just as confused as her, but he tries not to let it bug him. she wishes she could brush it off like he did

some girls are spreading a rumor that jason was the one who bragged about it after they left the beach. piper overhears this and once they arrive back at school, she tells him to stay away from her. she was so scared to be with someone, especially after watching silena dump charlie, and jason broke her trust.

people keep calling her a slut. nothing like silena is what she hears. two guys stop her in the hallway and won’t let her get to class when jason shows up, making a scene when he demands that everyone leave piper alone. she rushes off with leo and it isn’t until later they find out that a few people thought it’d be a funny prank to record them

drew admits to having sent the letters. piper is about to pulverize her sister when drew tells her that because of the letters, she was happy with jason even though it was a fake relationship

but she refuses to talk to jason because she’s so ashamed of blaming him without letting him explain himself. it isn’t until charlie comes over and tells her that jason is a good guy that she considers talking to him. silena calls unexpectedly so the story comes out. silena tells piper that if she lets jason go, it’ll be a big mistake

piper shows up right when practice ends. she stands on the field and jason meets her in the middle

she tells him that it wasn’t fake for her, and that she wanted to be with him, but she was scared. she saw how love didn’t last between her parents, saw so many of her friends with divorced parents. but jason tells her not to be scared because he’s in love with her too

“are you gonna break my heart, mclean?”

they kiss!!!! leo is so smug because both percy and annabeth owe him money.
