Conflict

Percy's POV

No way. My eyes lit up as I read the message OH had sent.

Dear William,

I no longer wish to be acquainted with you. You are an atrocious, vile and disgusting human being. When I flipped open your laptop, I saw the messages you had been sending to other girls for the past month. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I deserve better and I can rest easy at night knowing that I will not be marrying a pervert. Although I will not defame you in public, I hope that people will come to see you for who you actually are. That way, maybe you'll see the err in your ways and change. Anyways, I digress. I have left the ring on your nightstand. All your "gifts" and jewellery have been returned as well; I know they were all gifts from your fans and meant nothing. I wish you the best of luck in your career and don't bother contacting me ever again.

Yours sincerely,

******** *****

I smiled. OH was independent, wise and definitely badass. I just wished I could put a face to the name. She had purposely censored her name, as part of our rule. Her attention to detail was very sharp. She was also quite sassy.

BlueMarlin188: Yeah, it sounds like you really went in on him. Are you going to be alright?

OwlHead127: I think so. After all, I've got two great friends who will help me through all of this mess.

Other than Piper, who was the second mysterious friend? A small pit formed in my stomach. Was it jealousy?

BlueMarlin188: You haven't told me much about this Piper. And who's your other friend?

OwlHead127: Oh my Gods BM! It's you! Ugh. You really are a Seaweed Brain.

I facepalmed. The feeling of embarrassment quickly turned to pride as I reread her message. I was one of her "two great friends". 

Wait. Seaweed Brain?

Many people have called me different nicknames. I was known as Kelp Head, Prissy, Aquaman and so on. But only one person had ever called me Seaweed Brain. This had to be a coincidence, right? I wondered where the inspiration came from. Maybe because I was so adamant about dolphins and pollution in the ocean.

Now that I think about it, I was pretty sure that I had mentioned it in our conversations before. I facepalmed again. Don't get your hopes up Percy, I chided myself.

OwlHead127: Well, Piper is really pretty. She has brown hair and beautiful eyes. Maybe I could introduce you to her if you ever come to Florida ;)

Brown hair? Beautiful eyes? Piper?

BlueMarlin188: Piper as in Piper McLean, daughter of Tristan McLean?

OwlHead127: Yeah, her father is pretty famous. Do you know her personally? She's pretty popular too, but I don't think she has visited New York City recently.

Know her? I only took down Gaea alongside her and third-wheeled the entire time she was with Jason. Gods I missed Jason. Ever since Piper broke up with him, he maintained his godly physique. Whenever I met up with him at Camp Jupiter, he seemed stronger. His masculine figure was essentially commented on each time we had met. His muscles drastically grew over time, and he became a lot fitter. His round glasses no longer fit his frame and looked rather out of place. We were still good friends though. Amongst the seven, he was the closest to me. Every now and then, he would pay me a surprise visit and we would hang out like old times. From what I remembered, he was still single, but very open to mingle.
