Y/n's POV:

I walk into cabin 5 to see Clarisse sitting on her bed with a broken spear in her hands. "He broke your spear??" I exclaim. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Yes." she just says, looking down.

"I'm so sorry, I know how much that spear means to you." I tell her, my tone soft. "It's not your fault." "It is. If I hadn't left him so you could come find him, none of this would've happend."

"Y/n...It's not your fault. You didn't know he was gonna do this and we both know that you can't say no to glory. But that asshole is gonna pay for what he's done." She tells me. "Maybe you shouldn't." I say hesitantly. 

"Y/n are you seriously gonna defend some stupid boy who you don't even get along with over me? One of your best friends??" She exclaims. "What?? No. But maybe he didn't mean to-" she cuts me off. "But he still did, didn't he? It can't be undone now. And did he apologize? No. Did you forget that he was yelling at you just an hour ago when all you did was try to help him?! He isn't worth it Y/n. And deep down you know he isn't." she says. And then I realized she was right. 

"Yeah...He isn't worth it." I respond. "Good." she says. "Okay so what do you wanna do? Fight him?" I say sarcasticly. "Oh no...I can't do that anymore...But you can?" "Excuse me?" "That would actually be really funny. Yeah, do that." she says. 

"He just lost his mom." I remind her. "That doesn't give him an excuse to be an asshole. And if I can't teach him his lesson, you can." she says. "Please Y/n. If you don't do it for yourself then do it for me." she says in a sweeter tone. I look down at her spear and think about how sad she must be.

 I sigh and then gave her a facial expression that says: 'I'll think about it' and she just nods. "Now give me your spear." I tell her. "What?" she asked. "You want your spear back or not. Cause if you don't I'd just not fix it." I say with a shrug. "No no. Please do." She said standing up from her bed. I take her spear and she smiles. "Thank you Y/n. You're the best."

Percy's POV:

(This is after the talk with Mr.D, Chiron and Grover btw)

"A quest?? To the underworld? That's crazy!" I mumble to myself before I bump into someone. I look up to see Y/n. "Watch where your going dude." She snaps at me. Is she mad at me? "Sorry." I mumble.

"Okay really. What is your problem?" "Probably the whole half-blood thing if you haven't noticed that." I tell her.  "No I mean the fact that you've been acting like this all day while I've been trying to help you, you broke Clarisse's spear and made a fool out of me infront of everyone."

 "Well atleast people noticed you now." I say trying to light up the mood, but ofc I only made things worse. "Do you even hear yourself?" she asked in a tone that didn't really give away her emotions.
