Percy Jackson was leaning on his usual post looking for someone to pickpocket and hope that it doesn't hurt his side

He looked around but jumped when a voice next to him said, "Well look who it is. It's Prissy Jackson."

He almost groaned as he turned around and was face to face with the school bully, and only one who wasn't afraid of Percy, Clarisse La Rue and her goons.

"Go away Clarisse." Percy said and hoped that the light would change soon enough

"Oh what's the matter Prissy are you running away from dear us?" She asked in mock hurt

"I'm trying to get away from you're ugly faces and stench, have you ever showered?" Percy said in irritation and totally forgot his hurt side.

In the back of Percy's mind he knew better than to mess with Clarisse but he was tired of everything and just needed a break."

Just when Clarisse was about to say, "Pumble this idiot" the light turned green and Percy took that chance and walked straight in front of a cop.

He gave a nice hello to Josh the police man whose shift was to watch out for criminals and not 12 year old pickpockets.

Percy smiled and said hello to the cop while crossing the streets.

Josh gave a look to Clarisse that said, "Keep that comment to yourself and not do anything stupid."

Once he was far enough away from Josh he let a small smile jump onto his face as he started to walk toward to park.

It was there that he went toward the duck pond and sat there. Picking up nice round big stones and making them jump across the water.

"Well nice to see you here." A voice behind him said that made him jump, normally he could hear when someone was behind him. Percy turned around and was met with the man he met yesterday named Clint.

"What are you doing?" It wasn't an accusation more curiosity as he turned away and made another stone skip across the water.

"What I can't come to the park?" The guy said with amusement in his voice and a small smile

"It's a free country." Percy said with a shrug and made movement to the pond and stone "Wanna join?" he asked

He didn't know why he was asking the stranger who he literally walked out on but he, in a way, wanted to have someone's company that doesn't hate him and maybe have a nice chat.

The guy shrugged and sat crosslegged next to Percy taking the stone and followed Percy's lead and made it skip across the water.

It did 9 skips before falling into the water.

Percy whistled and tried, he got 7.

"Take your time and it's about the accuracy not the power of the throw," CLint said and helped Percy with his release.

The next time Percy tried it on his own he got 10.

Percy whistled, "Thanks." He said and reached down to get another stone but stopped when his side flared in pain.

He bit the inside of his lip to keep from crying out and tried to mask his facial axpression but it was lost hope

"You ok?" Clint asked concern slipping into his voice

"Yeah. I'm fine." Percy managed to get out and looked at his watch and saw that he had to get the last money then go home.

"Hey I got to go." Percy said starting to stand up and was able to not wince because of it.

"See you tomorrow?" Clint asked with hidden amusement in his eyes.

"Maybe." Percy said and as he was walking toward the exit deep in thought he whispered one more maybe.

Ta-da how do you like. I think it turned out pretty good actually. I somewhat winged it...actually it was more go with the flow idea and it seemed to have worked out well. What do you think?
