Sea, Breeze. || PERCY JACKSON X READER

3 • what are friends for?

After a long conversation with Percy, thankfully, this time it wasn't interrupted, we arrived the museum. The ride to the museum wasn't that long. The bus only took a few turns and that was it.

"So Percy, what do you plan to do now? I'm sure Mr. Brunner will put us into groups." i asked, "You're right, he will. Not sure if anyone would want to be in a group with me anyway. I'd prefer to work alone, or with Grover." he said, forcing himself to laugh.

"Don't say that, i'd very much like to be in a group with you." i put my hand on his shoulder, trying to reassure him. "Hey, let's find Grover then? We can be a group of three."

He smiled at me and nodded, which reminded me of myself. "Right then, let's go." he grabbed my hand so that i wouldn't get lost. There were students from another school here too, it would make it very hard for us to find each other.

"Look, it's Grover!" i pointed to the boy with curly hair, Percy's best friend. "Grover!" Percy called out to the boy eating a sandwich near the fountain, as we walked towards him.

"Hey Percy, Hey Y/N! I was actually waiting for you Percy. I thought you wouldn't come." he told him, "Do you guys want some?" he offered a piece of the sandwich he was eating.

"No thank you" we both say in unison, we looked at each other and laughed at the coincidence. "Let's just sit down the bench for a while, then maybe we can explore." Percy said while dropping his backpack on the ground.

"So Percy, i actually figured that we should have a sleep over at mines!" Grover looked over at Percy, "When?" he replied.

"Next week. The house has no adults." he informed Percy. The sleep over sounded fun, no adults, no rules. "I'd love to, i don't know if my mom will let me though." Percy said while fidgeting with his nails.

"Aw man, well, i'll just find Mr. Brunner really quick. Just to tell him something, but not to worry you guys, i'll be back." he said to both of us, and as an answer, i just nodded.

I was currently lost in my thoughts anyway, of what i was going to do once the school year is over. The field trip is just one step closer to the school year ending, and whenever the school year ends, i'm always stuck in the house, laying down or just playing with whatever we have in the house.

As i was deep in my thoughts, screams of students distracted me from whatever i was thinking of. I immediately turn my head to where the screaming was coming from, and i was shocked to what i saw.

I immediately stood up to approach the fountain, "What happened?" i asked the girl in front with a worried expression on my face. "Percy pushed Nancy!"

And now i was even worried. I made my way to find Percy, only to find him on another bench near the fountain, just sitting down with his head down.

"Are you okay? What happened?" i sat next to him and asked him questions, "Nothing."

"You don't need to answer, sorry if i'm being annoying right now. Just worried about what happened." i said in a worried tone, "I didn't even push her. It's like.." he cut off himself before finishing his sentence, "Like what?" i asked him, for the last time.

"Forget it. You probably won't even believe me too." his tone being so low, it was almost impossible to hear him. "Look Percy, it's okay. I'll believe you no matter what it is." i added, "What are friends for anyway?"

He looked at me and sighed, "It was the water. It was like it pushed Nancy. She was bullying me as usual, and then the water just pushed her into the fountain. I know, it sounds crazy. No one even believed me, and i know you won't too." he said while again, he fidgeted with his nails.

"Hey i believe you. I know you didn't do it, i know you wouldn't do such a thing." i comforted Percy as i gently pat his back. "And besides, she deserved it. She always bullies people, and now she gets a taste of her own medicine." i chuckled.

After some staffs of the museum arrived because of the incident that had just occured, Me and Percy both saw it coming. He were to be asked questions about what happened at the fountain.

Mr. Brunner approached us. But he didn't look mad, not at all. "Does he look like he's mad to you?" i asked him, "No, he looks like he's okay." he answered.

"Percy, let's talk, shall we?" he kept his hands on his back and waited for Percy's response, "Yes sir." he replied. He grabbed his backpack that was currently on the floor and left to follow Mr. Brunner.

Though i didn't get to say anything, i just know their conversation was going to be about the events earlier. I felt bad. I knew no one was going to defend Percy from that girl Nancy.

After what seemed like eternity of waiting for Percy at the same bench, he finally returned. Only this time, he had an unpleasant look on his face.

"Percy what happened? Did Mr. Brunner say anything?" i asked, "No, but Grover did have a say on this. He wasn't even there when that happened!" he snapped.

I couldn't believe it, Grover turned on Percy when he needed him the most. "I'm sorry that happened Percy. How did he even get there?" i asked whilst trying to comfort him.

"Never mind it. I'm going home anyway, see you when i see you, Y/N." he said before turning back to leave.

I must say that the sight of Percy Jackson like this made me feel bad. I knew i had to do something, "I need to talk to Mr. Brunner about this." i mumbled to myself.

As i made my way to find Mr. Brunner, who's probably inside the museum watching over the other students, i saw Nancy Bobofit with her friends laughing. Almost as if nothing had just happened after they tormented the poor boy for no reason.

And finally i saw Mr. Brunner, "Mr. Brunner! I need to talk to you about Percy please, please." i begged.

Mr. Brunner turned his head to my direction, "Mr. Brunner, Percy didn't do it! It wasn't him, you probably won't believe me or him but it was the water the pushed Nancy. I know it sounds cra-" i was cut off by Mr. Brunner,

"Y/N, i'm sorry. But what has been done, has been done. Percy's already had been sent home. I believe both of you." he added, "Now, i must go. Continue to explore the museum if you want, we only have an hour left on the clock before we go home." he informed.

Mr. Brunner said he believes us. And i could tell he was genuine. But now all i could think of was going home and seeing Percy, tell him that everything's fine, Mr. Brunner believes him. It probably won't undo the damage, but i know it would help lessen his worries.
