Grover and Hazel were on the pool's edge as they time Percy. They were timing to see how long he could keep his breath for.

"Hopefully we can go back soon." Said Grover. He glanced at the stopwatch as the pair kept their eyes on Percy.

"Same." Hazel agreed. Her leggings were pulled up to her knee as her feet were submerged in the water. Percy looked so peaceful. He came up slowly as Grover stopped the stopwatch.

"And he's alive!" Hazel clapped as Percy swam towards the two.

"Percy Jackson is a beast! You're a beast man! Give me some." Grover's hand reached out to Percy as they high-fived.

"How long was that?" Percy asked as he lifted himself from the pool to the edge and sat next to Hazel.

"Seven Minutes" She answered, chuckling in disbelief.

"Seven minutes?" Percy asked, unsure of what he heard. Hazel handed him a towel as he dried himself off.

"That's crazy, man. It's ridiculous." Grover leaned forward to his knees, Hazel chuckled and nodded, clearly agreeing with Grover.

"How do you do it?" Grover asked, Percy smiled, shook his head and shrugged as he answered.

"I just like being underwater." Hazel hit his head lightly. He holds his head with the towel and acts injured.

"Maybe that's why you're so stupid" They all laugh as Percy continues.
"It's the only place I can think." Hazel lets out a sassy hum. Percy shakes his head vigorously to spray some water on her. She laughed and pushed him into the pool.

"Hey, I just dried off!" He complains. She laughs and then gets pulled in by Percy as he grabs her leg. She is now soaked too. But Hazel can't swim. Percy knows that all too well. She climbs on him so she doesn't drown. Her legs wrapped around his hip and her arms around his neck. Percy swims back to the pool's edge and places her on the edge carefully. They both pause and look at each other. Grover clears his throat and the pair snap out of their trance.

"Right let's go," Grover states as he stands up and limps away with his crutches. Hazel and Percy smile at each other as they leave.

The trio made their way towards class as Percy spoke up.

"God, I wish I could spend all way underwater instead of this place."

"Right? It's like High School without the musical." Grover sarcastically states. Hazel rolls her eyes as a student gets shoved into the lockers and they start fighting.

"Every day is the same thing. Look at that!" Hazel adds as she points to the students fighting, two teachers had to pull them apart and they make their way to class.

Percy and Hazel were in English class as the sub wrote something on the board.

"Yo, who's the sub? And why does she look constipated?" Hazel whispered to Percy who tried to suppress his giggles. As if on cue the sub turned around and cleared her throat.

"I am Miss Dodds, the substitute English teacher." Her arms were crossed over her stomach in a weird grey-beige blazer.

"Would someone please explain what Shakespeare was trying to convey in this line from Othello?" A small number of students raised their hands. But the teacher decided to be a bitch.
