Trauma [Solangelo]

Percy?

After the snack, we began our math homework and the butler (I found out his name was Jeff) brought in tubs of ice cream with two spoons for us.

"So, how's the English project with Will going?" Piper asked with a mouth full of ice cream so it came out as more of a mumble.

"Oh, shiz! I forgot about that project. We haven't really done much for it."

"Shiz? What are you, 10 years old?" Piper teasesd, wiping the spilled ice cream on her mouth with a napkin.

I made a face at her judgment. "Will keeps correcting me when I curse so now I'm in a habit of not cursing."

"Aww. You're doing this for Will?"

"Shut up," I said but I couldn't help the smirk that crawled onto my face.

We then got out our math and did most of the problems. They were all algebra.

"Okay," Piper said after another spoon full of ice cream. "I think that's enough homework for now."

"So what's the plan for busting the culprit that posted the post?" I asked with a tub full of mint chocolate chip ice cream in my hand.

"Well first, let's go over the people that hate you or would want to get back at you or just any motive. So do you know anyone in your life that fits that description?"

"Umm... not really," I answered truthfully.

"What about Percy?" she asked.

My eyes widened in surprise. "Percy? No, he's really nice and loyal. He would never do that," I said with no hesitation. I don't know why, but I felt kind of close to Percy after bowling. I was maybe even thinking I could forgive him for what he let happen to Bianca. There's just no way he would post that! Right?

"Okay well I can only think of Percy so let's try to totally exclude him as a suspect. Think about every interaction you've ever had with him. Weather it's big or small," Piper said.

I thought back to my first time talking to him this school year. I, trying to please Hazel by talking to more people, decided to ask Percy how his summer went.

I wouldn't say he was rude, but he seemed bored talking to me and very irritated. He kept looking over to his friends and laughing while talking to me, like I was some sort of joke.

And I once eavesdropped on a conversation he was having with some girl and he kept going on and on about how short I am. And before he had said that to the girl, I swear to god the she had said something about me being cute and asking Percy to hook her up with me. Which obviously I'm gay so that wouldn't work.

But then again, Percy didn't know I was gay at the time and he made sure a girl didn't ask me out.

And he's stopped another girl that liked me from making a move on me before.

I could feel my eyebrows lower as I looked back on those memories. My lips pursed. "You know what? Maybe it was Percy!"
