I walked down my street, my family's big hotel room was very lonely since my father was still shooting his movie and my mother was busy designing her new line. I had no siblings here. I've lived here for sic years of my seventeen year old life. Pretty much all my friends only visit for breaks, to see me.

I walked down the street and saw the Eiffel tower in the distance. I smiled as I headed for my favorite little restaurant that gave you a great view of the tower. I walked up and sat down across from a man texting someone.

"Hey Piper" he looked up and grinned. His curly brown hair in his firey brown eyes. His latino look came out a little more when he was smiling. I returned his smile.

"Hi Leo, I heard that they're coming today?" I questioned. He looked up from his phone.

"Yeah and they're bringing a new guy with them, John or whatever, they're secretly planning to make you give him the tour of this place, I'm excited to see Reyna again" Leo grinned. He and Reyna had this thing they did every time she came, which was for two weeks in the winter, one in the fall, another week in the spring, and two months in the summer. They would have a relationship when they were together.

I laughed at him as I sipped the coffee the waitress, Katelyn, gave me. She smiled at an grinning Leo. Then she smiled at me and gave me a look, you two together?

I shook my head and she smiled even bigger than last time. She walked away with a pink flush on her face after Leo winked at her. I slapped my bestfriends arm.

"Shut it Leo, you know, it's weird, that you are such a player and you never hit on any one of our friends but Reyna" I said. He grinned. We liked to speak English more than any other language. He spoke Spanish, French, English, and Greek. I spoke five languages, French, English, Greek, Arabic, and German.

"I always thought of you guys as the sisters I've never had" He smiled at me. I laughed at him, we got up and it was my turn to pay, so I put the money on the table and put my sunglasses on before going out to pick up our friends with Leo for their spring break. Leo and I have this weird school thing.

We're both home schooled, I guess you could say, he lives with me ever since my mother thought he was the 'cutest thing' and let him stay with us since he's been my bestfriend since birth, pretty much. Leo's mom and my mom were close before she died and we got Leo.

I bumped into Leo as we walked to the airport. He had his tan hand in his pocket. I can't deny that Leo is very good looking, but we thought of each other as siblings, not as a couple.

"How much you gonna bet that Travis finally asked out Katie?" Leo asked.

"20" I grinned.

"American?"

"Yep" I popped the P.

"So what are you and Rey going to do once she gets here?" I asked him. He made a thinking face as I rolled my eyes at him. He couldn't see it since I still had on my sunglasses, but I knew he could feel it.

"I don't know, we've done pretty much everything here for the last like thousand times she's been here, maybe I could take her on a date to Notre Dame, she's always loved it there" Leo said thoughtfully.

"Sounds cute" I grinned. He put an arm around my shoulders as I leaned on his shoulder.

"Do you think Connor and Kayla broke up, during Christmas they seemed rocky…" I trailed off. I could feel him shrug.

"You never know with them, they're relationship is even more crazy than me, and that's pretty crazy" Leo said. I laughed with him as we walked into the airport and to the waiting area. We waited there for a few minutes before we saw Annabeth and Percy walking hand-in-hand. I grinned at Leo and he returned it. He still had his arm around my shoulder. After them I saw Katie, Thalia, Connor, and Travis. Then Nico, Reyna, and Rachel were talking to a blonde boy with the same bright blue eyes as Thalia.

"Is that the new guy? He's kind of cute…" I trailed off. Leo gave me a look.

"I am so going to go protective brother on you" he warned me, I laughed and that got their attention. Hazel and Frank finally came from behind everyone. Annabeth grinned at me and ran to give me a hug. I smiled at her.

"You cut your hair!" I exclaimed. Her blonde curly hair used to be down to her waist, now it was a few inches lower than her shoulder.

"You and Leo look taller" she said in an accusing voice. I saw Reyna come up to me. We grinned at each other and I gave her a huge hug.

"Be prepared for Notre Dame" I whispered in her ear, on this occasion she laughed. Rachel and Thalia gave me hugs and Hazel took all the breath out of me after she hugged me then Katie gave me a gentle hug. I went over to the Stolls and gave them a small smile.

"If I hear you two did anything to Katie while I wasn't there, I will kill you two" I told them before the two tall brothers picked me up in a hug. I laughed at them and then grinned at Frank.

"Still in love with Hazel I see"

"Still refusing to love, I see" he smiled as he gave me a hug that was pretty much a bear hug. I turned to Nico.

"Now I know your excited to see me" I laughed. His face broke in a smile. Leo started talking with him and I got a noggie from Percy and I turned to the other guy. I gave him a small smile.

"My name's Jason nice to-" I cut him off by going on my tiptoes as I hugged him.

"Piper" I said. He blushed and I laughed. Leo came up behind me.

"Protective mode is on" he whispered. I rolled my eyes.

"This is Leo" I told him. Jason looked confused for a minute.

"Are you two dating?" he questioned. Leo and I burst out laughing. I fell to the ground and Connor had to pick me up. I felt tears coming down my face. My sunglasses were starting to fog.

"No, we're just friends, he's kind of my adoptive brother, but not really" I wiped a tear that came down my face.

"Oh" he blushed. Leo just stopped laughing and had an arm on my shoulders to keep him up.

"That was great, funniest thing I've heard in a while, sometimes French jokes aren't that great" he said. I smiled a little at that.

"Come on Jason, I'm showing you around" I told him grabbed his hand and pulling him to baggage claim. Leo walked along with us with Reyna next to him. After they all got their bags, we came back to the hotel, since the room was pretty much the whole floor, they stayed with us.

"Hey! So since my parents are never here, take any bedroom you want, just not mine or Leos!" I told them in the living room. Jason was looking around the whole thing while everyone else went to the bedrooms they claimed forever ago.

"Travis! Katie! Stop arguing and just sleep in the same bed! Not like it hasn't happened before!" I yelled at the couple. Katie flushed while Travis picked her up and threw her over his back as they went to their room.

"Jason, you can have this one, no one claims it and I think you'll like it" I smiled at him. "It's across from mine and next to Nico and Thalia's room, then also next to Rachel's" I smirked at him as I took off my sunglasses and showed him to his room.

"Hey, what color are your eyes?" he asked me. I blushed and put my sunglasses back on. I hated not knowing what color my eyes were, I had my mother's eyes, they changed every second in a pattern, brown, blue, green, grey. I like my eyes the best when they were grey because they seemed wise to me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to…" He apologized.

"No, no, it's fine, but I don't really like my eyes, they remind me of my mom, who's never around, I only see her about once a year, but they change color, so they don't have a specific color" I told him.

"I think it's different" he said.

"Different isn't always better" I responded.

"It is this time" he told me as he closed the door. I smiled to myself and went back to my room.
