Percy Jackson x Reader Insert [Slow Updates]

Chapter 6

An: Thank you for reading my book 😊
sorry for the wait I had no ✨motivation✨ or ✨inspiration✨ so hopefully it hits me like a brick to the head soon

I woke up and thankfully Nancy wasn't crowding over me like yesterday. I lied there for a minute before realizing something was off. I couldn't hear Nancy's wood chipper snoring. Actually, I couldn't hear Nancy at all. Confused, I sat up and looked down to make sure she wasn't here. She wasn't, but there was a note on the desk. I carefully got down from the bunk and walked over to my dresser where it was placed to pick it up.

Dear Y/n,

Because of yesterday and your frequent memory loss, I decided to let you take a day off of school to rest. I don't know what's been causing all your problems recently, but I hope we can figure it out together like always.

Yours truly,
Nancy

Ps. If Mrs. Kerr asks, you were sick with a stomach bug today :)

I reread the letter 5 times to make sure I read it correctly and even then I wasn't convinced I didn't misread it somewhere. Nancy being this sweet almost made me feel bad for breaking her nose. Almost. She was still a nightmare to many other people so her being nice to me doesn't change my feelings of disdain for her. Although, it does make me wonder. Why does she care about me so much? If only I knew.

I decided to wait until the school day was over before going anywhere to avoid any suspicions. While I waited, I attempted to figure out the mystery with the overly nice Nancy. Since I didn't have a phone with me, I looked around the room to see if I could find any clues. I feel like I'm in Scooby Doo. Although, I never was very good at figuring who did it. Oh well. It couldn't be that hard. Right?

I sighed in frustration as I came up with nothing except the knowledge that Nancy was really unorganized. Like seriously, I couldn't even get in her closet with how much of her stuff was on the floor. Most of that probably wasn't even hers. I looked at the clock only to find that I had been at this for two hours and was still no closer to finding out anything. I groaned and elected to finally get dressed into some clothes. Since I didn't have to go to school, I didn't put on my uniform.

Instead, I chose to put on a pair of jeans and an over sized hoodie that I found in the back of my closet. I was kinda bummed that I didn't find any sweatpants in there and for some reason most of the clothes were fancyish like skirts and dresses which is weird cause I don't usually wear that kind of stuff. Like who picked my wardrobe? Cause it sucks. I'd rather wear pants than skirts. Anyways, while I was mentally cursing whomever chose my wardrobe, Nancy came prancing in.

She smiled at me and grabbed some clothes off the floor of her closet and went into the shared bathroom to get changed. I took that opportunity to slip on some shoes and leave the room. I quickly walked in the direction I thought was where the classrooms were located to talk with Chiron. Apparently, I went in the wrong direction because I ended up at the school library. I was too scared to ask someone for directions that I should've already known so I opted to wander around until I figured out where I was.

By some luck, I ran into Percy and Grover who were talking. Before I could say anything, Percy noticed me and practically sprinted over here causing me to panic a bit. I froze up and stared wide eyed at him.

"What was that yesterday?" He asked.

"What was what?" I replied hopefully making a convincing confused face.

"You know what," he said desperately, "How you made Mrs. Dodds turn to dust."

I hesitated for a split second before responding, "Who's Mrs. Dodds?"

"The math teacher that taught here up until yesterday."

"I'm sorry," I said while forcing a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Upon seeing my forced smile, Grover walked over and to try and distract Percy from asking all the questions he, obviously, wanted to ask. It didn't really work. He just asked the both of us instead of just me. We are terrible liars so he knew something was up. Thankfully, Chiron saved the day for me at least.

"Y/n, please come with me to get the class work you missed today," he said.

I nodded my head and followed him to the classroom where he actually gave me the class work I missed. I stared distastefully at the stack of papers with a look of disgust on my face. I don't really like makeup work. I groaned and grabbed the papers and started walking to the door. Before I could leave, Chiron asked me a question.

"Why are you here?"
