The boy who grew up

"Stop doing that!"

"I'm not doing anything"

"Your annoying me!"

"Why, cuz I'm not touching you."

"Your stupid."

"Am I? Why so angry?"

"Because your an idiot pretending to poke me!" Percy was pretending to poke Zoe who was getting extremely agitated. Her black eyes flashed with annoyance as he pretended to poke her continuous times. They were in detention and it was slowly killing Zoe. Lupa was rarely supervising so it made detention a little more bearable.

"Jackson!" She hissed in warning and he gave her an innocent smile and shrugged.

"Oops, sorry!"

"This is why I try to stay away from you when you do something wrong, being stuck with you is the worst torture anyone could ever endure." He rolled his eyes at her dramatic statement and tipped back in his chair.

"Nobody knowwws the trouble I've seeeeen, nobody knowwws my sorrow. Cuz I'm with a party pooper named Zoe!" Zoe narrowed her eyes at Percy who grinned at her with mischief.

"I am not a party pooper!" She protested and Percy shrugged,

"Yes you are."

"I can be fun!" Percy's smile grew and he started thinking of what she could do.

"If you want to be fun then you can give me a foot rub." Zoe wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"There's no way I'm doing that! Feet are gross and that isn't fun." Percy pouted and crossed his arms,

"It's fun to me!" Zoe pushed him making him fall out of his chair. There was a loud thump and Zoe laughed at the now groaning Percy. Though Percy's back hurt like crazy he liked Zoe's laugh, he liked making her happy...and annoying her. Percy got back up and had a great idea.

"How about, you sneak out of detention with me?" Zoe's eyes widened and shook her head.

"Oh no, my moms gonna grill me already when she finds out I'm in detention with you." Percy smirked at her,

"Party...pooper." He knew he was pushing her buttons but also knew that by doing so she would get angry and irrational. When her irrational side came out she would get out of here with him. Zoe glowered at him, I will NOT be deemed a party pooper! She thought angrily.

"I'm loads of fun! We're getting out of here right now!" Percy grinned devilishly, works every time! Zoe tried to open the door but it was locked, she frowned and took out her beret and picked it easily. Percy looked her impressed, he was about to ask her how she did it but she smirked and kept going. They looked both ways before slipping out of the door.

"You know what we should do?" Percy asked and Zoe glared at him for being so loud, but oblivious Percy kept talking,

"We should come up with code names! My code name will be Sir stud!" Zoe smacked the back of his head trying to make him shut up, and because that was a horrible code name.

"Ow! Fine your code name is Lady meanie head! Cuz your so mean and abusive!" Percy ducked a swipe to the face only to be kicked in the shin. He hopped one one foot clutching his injury. Zoe stifled a laugh at his scrunched up face.

"Hurry Sir stupid! We gotta get out of here before we're caught!" She hissed with urgency.

"Coming Lady meanie head." He grumbled and let her drag him along. They made it down the hall before they heard voices. Teachers! Zoe thought in alarm and Percy grinned.
