Percy really wanted to talk to Leo more. But sadly they weren't in the same grade, but they had the same lunch. Although his table was full. And he was busy talking to Frank. He had told him all about the Asian yesterday, after detention. It was great to talk to someone that had the same kind of background that you did. It was like a competition of what horrible things they had done.
Leo was more of a trickster. He pulled the biggest pranks to get expelled and moved. Or he got beat up. Percy was the opposite. He never wanted to get kicked out, he just got into fights a lot. It wasn't his fault. And he was the one who usually beat up the bullies. If he and Leo had gone to school together before this, they would have made the best team ever. But they both agreed they wanted to stay at this school as long as possible. Leo for Frank and his friends, Percy for his mom.
But he settled for annoying Annabeth. She wouldn't leave Octavian alone all lunch. Apparently he had a date yesterday, but no one would tell them who. But so far he heard he, and not she. Which explained a lot. He was probably really shy about admitting he was gay. It was upsetting people couldn't accept it.
"So, Annie, you got a boyfriend?" Percy tried his best to flirt with the hot blonde. Anyone would have to admit she was smoking hot. She scoffed.
"No, and I never will." She turned around to face him, her grey eyes staring into his soul. He frowned.
"Why not? I know I might not be your type, but not ever?" He raised his eyebrows. Rachel and Octavian started listening in too.
"Because, you idiot." She gave a light smile and turned back around. Annabeth started asking Octavian more questions, and he happily replied.
That was not what Percy was expecting. You learn something new every day.
