Percy's POV
Oh my god... Did I just gag in front of Rachael?
Yes, yes I did.
She must think I'm a complete weirdo! I never want to be a Margonist!
But wait a minute... I'd better get home before mother sees me! She'll flip!
Was she flirting with me?
Did she wink?
No and no.
But maybe...
No! Just stop thinking about her!
"Thinking about who?" I heard a voice say.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"It's me, Iria." She replied.
"Oh, um... Nobody."
"Nobody, huh?"
"Yeah. Nobody."
"You know..."
"What?"
"Dragons can read minds."
"No they can't!"
"You need to tell her, Percy!"
"Why?"
"She has feelings for you, too."
"She does...? How do I know you're not lying?"
"Does a dragon ever lie?"
"..."
"Ugh! The answer is no. We don't."
"What if you're lying about that? And how can I hear you anyway?"
"Because you have a secret power, too, Percy."
"I-I do?"
"Yes, of course. Now, now, all dragons can communicate with humans. But you... You're a special one."
"I am?"
"Yes. You can speak to every animal. You're an Aaanthropist."
"Impossible!"
"No, Percy, it's not."
"So... What do I do?"
"You can sign up for the special gifts class."
"You mean MGSG? Why?"
"You have an extra class and no other good options."
"How do I know you're for real?"
"Just trust me, Percy."
"Trust me."
Then she flew away.
