Percy Jackson: Immortal High School, Mortal Pain (Completed)

At The Gym

Percy POV
It's Saturday!!

When I wake up, I immediately check my wounds. The bones are healed and the cuts disappeared. It's a miracle! Why didn't I steal this before?

I realize that I need to put this energy to use and go to the gym.

When I get there, I'm met by the gym's manager, Todd. He allows me to work it free at night if I work during the day.

I do what I'm told and wash the mats, clean the windows, take out the trash, help those working out, and so on. When night comes, Todd gives me the key and tells me to lock up when I'm done and leaves.

I bench press, do push-ups, planks, and try out all the machines. Around ten o'clock, I'm lifting a weight when I hear a voice behind me.

"Peter Johnson, what are you doing here this late?"

Startled, I drop the weight and it almost hits my foot, but I jump out of its way just in time.

"Who's there?" I demand.

"Vance."

"What do you want?"

"I want to know something."

"And you had to come at ten o'clock at night at a closed gym to ask me? I could call the police for trespassing. Unlike you, I have permission to be here from the manager."

"It'll only take a moment."

"Fine. What?"

"How are you, Percy Jackson?"

A/N: I would've written this chapter longer, but I couldn't resist leaving y'all on a cliff hangar! :D the next one will be really good and longer than this one, I hope.
