Some Heroes of Olympus theory

[taotrooper]

Something I've been thinking because I'm currently rereading The Lost Hero.

You know, something has been bothering me. Piper tries not to tell others her dad is Tristan McLean because she hates to play the famous dad card. It goes to the point that her classmates don't know about it -just that her dad is Native American, probably because she went with the "Cherokee artist" simplification. Another thing is that besides Leo and Jason (and Dylan but he's a monster harassing her), she doesn't seem to speak with her other classmates much. She's quite private with her stuff and everyone is an asshole anyway.

Then... how come Leo knows about her dad? More than that, he remembers she's a vegetarian, and that she "stole" the BMW but says the guy gave it to her.

Because well, the book tries to give the feeling that they were just friends by proxy and they're both more hanged on the idea of Jason's Mist, like she's his BFF's GF and he's her BF's BFF. But in reality, I do suspect that they were the ones who were best friends (or at least the only friend each had in that school) but Jason's Mist doesn't let them remember that. It would've been an odd friendship, but after all they were forced into the school at the same time, and as loners they probably sticked together as the two new kids.

Of course, Leo still wouldn't tell her about HIS things because she would take him for a lunatic anyway. Can you blame him, with that childhood of doom? And he was a very reserved guy ready to escape in any case.

This makes me a little depressed, because then it would mean that at least on Piper's side they had a decent bond, much stronger than the one they have with Jason. But now they don't know about it because this amnesiac stranger accidentally gave himself a larger role, and even if Piper and Leo are better friends now they'll still want to be more friends (and more, in her case) with Jason.

Sob, why. I'd rather have lots of nakama than the girl pining over this hot guy she met four days ago.

A mí me dio la impresión de que ya eran bestfriends igual y que con Jason metido eran como. trío de bffs que luego ya cambió a más con lo de Piper y Jason.

Pero yeah, I feel ya :/ Sobre todo porque todo el libro lo de Jason y Piper es taaaaaan forzado. Do want more bffitud :|

A mí no me la dio la primera vez que leí, pero a la segunda fue como. Y cómo sabes tanto de ella, bro? A pesar de que se supone que los tres eran amigos, Piper era muy grumpy con sus chistes y Leo no le contó nunca nada. Eso no quita que seguramente fueron los únicos amigos que tenían en la escuela.

A mi la verdad igual me dio esa impresión igual. No tanto por lo que dices - que no he releído y tendría que hacerlo - sino que, justamente, por ser los dos loners que no son blancos en una escuela rara. La forma en que se hablan y se llevan era de BFFs.

Será por ser irme por ciencias pero siempre parto de mis conclusiones por más facts que por cosas lógicas-sociales XD

Y la única escena en que les dan solitos para ser besties, terminan hablando de Jason. Que sí, RiRi, que quieren mucho a tu wonder boy, ya lo sabemos.

La conclusión de Leo de que lo que debía de preocuparle era su papá me gustaba más. Sé que eres aborrescente hormonal, pero por qué estás pensando en Jason AHORITA, Piper? O podrías hablar de las dos cosas, no sé.

Ahora que papá está seguro y bien, BOY PROBLEMS.

No me molesta que Piper tenga un crush y que actúe como niña de 15 años, sólo que tenga crush en alguien tan lame :'D
