Percy 12: The Greatest Villain

in the mind of Abbigail Fluff

I look down at my smart watch and wonder where Emmarly and Percy 12 are. Its 15 minutes until classes start. I click on my watch as I shut my locker and roam the hall. I call Emmerly on my watch.

"Hey Abbigail... I'm on my way now, I'll be there in five, promise."

"What about Percy 12?

"Don't worry about him, he'll be here. I promise you'll see him today. Sounds like someone has a little crush on Percy 12."

"What no, of- of course I don't... but I think you do! You've been spending a lot of time with him." Honestly, I did have a small crush on Percy 12. He's nice and funny, caring too.

"Me? Have a crush on that dummy? Can't be. Oh I'm almost at school, I'll meet you in the lab?"

"Yeah of course! I'll see you there!" I hang up and start walking to the lab. Most people dont know this about me, but I'm incredibly good at building machinery or weaponry.

I see a familiar face in the hallway walking towards the lab as well.

"Percy 12! Hey Percy 12!" I shout as I run towards him. I forgot to tie my shoelace and I accidentally trip over it. He was facing me when I tripped him but it seems he wanted to fall.

Sometimes people forget that i have an IQ of 173. When i fell on him he could've caught me, but he fell with me? It doesnt make sense, unless... he's taken a liking to me!

I feel my face get warm as I look up at him.

"Hey Abbi, you alright? That was a hard fall."

"Yeah I'm okay. Are you okay? You caught the fall! Your back must be really sore."

"This wasnt what I expected to walk in on." It was Emmarly! And she had her phone out! I see Percy 12 tilt his head back to look at her as I get off of him.

"Oh hey Emmarly. Didn't expect to see you here this late. Did something come up Ms. Punctual?" Wow, Percy 12 must seem annoyed, he never uses that tone and type of joke, at least that's what I've noticed about him.

"Get up you idiot. We have to go to the lab, we have some stuff to work on. Abbigail, wanna help Percy 12 up?" She so knows what she's doing! Regardless I help him up.

He stands up and scratches his the back of his head awkwardly, I've never seen this side of him before. It's kind of cute. Though something feels somewhat off about him. I pay no attention to that and I study him; the way he walks, his hand gestures, how his face gets red whenever I look at him.

As we walk into the lab he pulls an elastic from his wrist among the many he has. It's odd, he wears them on both wrists and ankles. His Vans only go up to just below his ankles, and his sweatpants dont hide the elastics.

He puts his hair up into a bun, and grabs a pair of work glasses from the wall stand. I always have my work goggles on the top of my head, so I just pull them down and adjust them. I see Percy 12 glance over at me, just to check up on me after the fall; well I presume.

First class is study hall, so we have an hour to complete our work. I see Percy 12 welding something of his back together. I go up to him, and I see he has his headphones in, not to mention at full blast too.

I tap on his shoulder.

"Womanizer? Really?" I joke with him as he scrambles to put his headphones away. I laugh seeing him drop them and I help him find them again.

"What? It's a good song! Anyways, why did you come over? Do you need help or just want to talk?" His ears are a bit pink, that's not something I expected from him.

"Well, I just wanted to see what you were doing. Fixing up a mask? What do you need it for?" It looks like something Emmarly described to me once before, about a villain named Felon, or at least that what she called him.

"Oh it's for uh... a cosplay! Yeah a cosplay!" His voice is tense and he looks down under his desk. Just then Emmarly runs over.

"Abbigail I need your input on my project!"

"Alrighty, I'll be right back Percy 12!" I wave goodbye to him as Emmarly pulls me to her workplace. In the corner of my eye I see him slip his mask into his satchel and take out a different project.

"So what did you need?"

"Well, I'm trying to work on an automatic multi-dispenser for Tobathy II, so theres one for his treats, regular dry food, wet food and his water. I figured out how to get it to spin and dispense, but I don't know how I can make Tobathy access the one he wants aside from making a singular lever." She points to the one lever and I take a closer look.

"This is kind of an easy fix; if you put multiple levers that lead to each food dish, it'll be easier for him to get the food he wants. Also, I think that the water should be in a separate container from the food, but have the bowls connected, so he can have the food and water close together. Also, you should connect the water supply from your house to his water supply. So he can have water when he needs it."

"That's a wonderful idea Abbigail! I'll get working on it right now, thanks!" Emmarly said with a smile as she started to move around pieces of her contraption. I walk back over to Percy 12 and I see him jamming out with his headphones in.

"Percy 12?" I mutter as I tap him on the shoulder.

"Oh hey Abbigail! Sorry I was jammin' and I didnt hear you. What's up?"

"Is- is that a knife?" I'm in shock, why would he have a knife and a mask? What kind of cosplay is this?

"Oh, it's for my family. My family likes the craftsmanship of the knives I make, and they all ask for one on their birthday. But I'm making this one for myself. Question, what's your favorite type of crystal?"

"Oh, uhm... I'd guess I'd have to say Opalite. I like the way the colors move like magic, it looks like moon mist ice cream!"

"Hmm... okay, good to know. Oh, I was wondering, would you want to come with me and Emmarly to the carnival this weekend?" His face looked so innocent, yet he was literally making a knife.

"Yeah I'd love to go! I'll talk with Emmarly about it after school. But I do have to say, the style of that knife is impeccable! Keep up the good work!" I wave him goodbye and go to work on my own project.

I put in my own headphones and blast Killshot from magdelena bay. My project? A hypomagnetic ring. Its customizable, and works best when you wear metal rings or chains with your outfit, creating a shield with the positively and negatively charged ions, for heavy protection.

"What the hell are you all doing here? You know me and my boys come here to work on our weaponry every Wednesday study hall."I turn down my music and take out a headphone as I see the door slam open. It was Malry Trinity. He's always been a jerk, and uses me a lot to build and make prototypes and blueprints for his weapons.

"Get out of here, asshole. I know I'm new but I'm not taking any of your shit." Percy 12 is standing up to him? With his only weapon being an unfinished knife? What is he doing?!

"So you must be Percy 12. You're exactly what I expected. A weak, basic bitch. All you have is what, a knife and mommy issues? Please. My and my boys would eat you up and spit you out. What chance do you think you have?"

"Oh I know all about you Malry. Like how Malry is your middle name? And you hate your first name because it's so basic. You can't call me basic when your first name is Travis."

Malry looked like he was in shock, and he probably was. Not even his boys new his first name. Not even Brenlym.

"You're gonna regret knowing that you brown noser." Malry shouted as he stormed off, his boys behind him trying to comfort him.

Wow, I never knew Percy 12 was like that.

"Abbigail, those guys have a track record of using your designs, as long as I'm around, they wont steal from you again. Okay?" He said with a sympathetic smile as he came in to hug me.

Thank you Percy 12. I finally feel appreciated for my work, though Emmarly enjoys my work, it finally feels like my work is protected. Not to mention by the strongest, kindest boy in the school.

But what are you hiding Percy 12?
