Percy

Once it was sunset we decided it was time for us to leave. We said good-bye to Annabeth and the boys and when we left Central Park, Estelle started nagging me. 

"When can we have ice cream? Can we have ice cream now? Can we? Can we?" Thankfully I spotted an ice cream shop around the corner. "All right we can have ice cream but you need to behave." I say and instantly she shuts up. We enter the ice cream shop. We waited in line and once it was finally our turn. 

"Hi! What can I get for you today?" the lady asked.

"I'll have blueberry in a cone-" I look at Estelle "what do you want Estelle?"  "Chocolate in a cone!" I look  at the waitress "Chocolate in a cup please."

"All right that will be... $7.50." I give her the 10 bucks and she gives me back the change. We get our ice cream and eat while we go back home.

"I wanted the cone." Estelle said. "But they are really big you wouldn't have finished it," I reasoned. "Yes I would," she argued. "Well if you did, you would've had a stomach ache the next day and missed school." she shrugs. "I'm okay with that." she says and I just smile and chuckle. "Well let's if you finish this one first." 

She didn't finish it. Once we got home she said she didn't want it anymore to save some room for dinner.  Unlike her I finished mine and I didn't have any room for dinner.

"Hey where's Tyson?" I ask mom. "His bedroom." she replies and I go to his bedroom and knock.
"Hey Percy." "Hey bud. What's up?" I ask and go sit on the edge of his bed. "Nothing. Where were you guys?" he asks lifting his head up from the game he was playing on his ipad. "Mom didn't tell you?" he shook his head. 

"Well me and Estelle went to central park and she played with these two boys-" "Who?" he interrupted. "A friend of mine. I met her at the park and she brought her two little brothers with her." I explain. He smiles and wiggles his eyebrows "It's a girl?" "Yeah so?" I say.

Here we go again.

"What's her name?" he asked. "Annabeth." I answer. "Oh wait she blonde right?" he asks. I groan. "How do you know that?" "Mom told me you like her a lot." I mentally scolded my mom. What next, was she going post on social media that I have a little itty bitty crush on her? " All right look Tyson I need you to repeat what I say okay?"  he shrugs but agrees. 

"Percy Jackson-"

"Percy Jackson."

"Does not."

"Does not."

"Like Annabeth." 

"Like Annabeth." 

"Did you get that into your system?" I ask him and he shakes his head. I throw my hands in the air. " Okay we are done with this conversation. Everything that we just spoke about stays between us and us only. Got it?" he nods. After a few awkward minutes he spoke.

"So are you ready for tomorrows game?" he asks. "Yep. We are totally going to win." I say. "Especially since your on the team." he says. I smile "Thanks bud.  If we win this game then we go to the semi-finals." "Isn't that only for professional games?" he asks. "Kind of. But if we win the semi-finals and finals then we get we win Goode High's first ever trophy. For the swim team at least." I say. "They've never won?" I shake my head. "Good luck."

"Thanks." 

The next day

During third period the class got interrupted by the principal talking through the loud speaker (I have no idea what it's called) saying:
