As the days went on, it seemed less likely that the whole school had come together to play a practical joke on Percy and Sophie. So that left only a few explanations.
1) they were crazy. delusional. deranged. and had hallucinated the entire thing
2) .....Ok...so maybe Percy couldn't really think of any other explanation.

He didn't know what he would do without Sophie. He figured if he was slowly losing his mind it was nice to be losing it alongside his bestfriend.

Sophie and Percy knew Grover was lying. Sophie said her great intuition never steered her wrong. Percy had rolled his eyes and said her intuition had nothing to do with it. Grover was just a terrible liar.

Percy continued to have nightmares about the museum. In his last one, he had dashed infront of Sophie  with full confidence and tried to stab the Fury with a ballpoint pen. Not a sword. The Fury easily snapped the pen between her talons. He thankfully woke up right before they were inevitably killed or eaten or whatever the monster had intended to do to them.

The three friends had been on their way to class when Nancy Bobofit roughly bumped her shoulder into Sophie. Luckily Grover steadied her before she could fall, but Percy lost it. He ripped Grover's cap off of his curly head and chucked it as hard as he could at the back of Nancy's head. Which apparently was pretty hard because she fell flat on her face.

His grades had also plummeted, but the final straw had been in English when Mr. Nicoll asked him why he was too lazy to study for the test. He called the teacher an old fart, earning a loud laugh from Sophie at the back of the class. She however, was not laughing later when Percy told her that he was not allowed to return to Yancy Academy next year.

Sophie's feelings were slightly hurt when Percy expressed how much he did not care that he would not be returning next year. She tried not to take it personally, she knew Percy didn't mean it that way, but she was afraid that his expulsion would mean the end of their friendship. And that made her sadder than she would ever like to admit.

Sophie and Percy were sitting on the bench outside the school watching as cars drove past, it was an early Sunday morning and the two of them were bored.

"Yellow car!" Sophie called pointing to the one that drove past.

Percy groaned rolling his eyes "How am I supposed to find an orange car?"

Sophie just shrugged playing with the rings on her fingers "Dunno. A van maybe?"

The girl moved over so her head was on Percy's lap as she pulled apart the daisy she had. She was staring up at Percy, her beautiful brown eyes a golden color. "You doing anything for the summer?"

Percy shrugged "Dunno. My mom might take us to Montauk, but I'm not sure if Gabe will let us go. Said it costs too much money, you doing anything?" He asked playing with one of her blond locks.
