The Deep End

Chapter 16: Part 4

Percy
  It was 20 minutes before class started, the boys were sitting in the hallway talking about plans.
      The small group consisted of Will, Leo, Jason, and Percy.
       "So, who will give who a ride?" Jason questioned looking at the small circle in front of them.
         "Well, the only people who can drive is Jason and Percy," Will stating the obvious.
            Prior to this Will told Leo about how Nico has had a crush on Percy since before the Big Bang. Which Leo obviously told Jason about. Jason realizing Percy's feelings before him noticed the way he acted around Nico. So, now the 3 boys were teaming up to get Percico together.
        "Okay it's settled, Nico will go with Percy, me, Will and Jason will go together," Leo practically yelled. "Why don't we just go together?" "Well Jackson you know Nico doesn't like being touched like at all and cause he's the smallest so he would have to sit in the middle, which means he would get squished between the two of us," Leo explained. Somehow the bullshit that came out of his mouth seemed to sound convincing in the turquoise eyes.
"Also, Nico has this thing about cars, last year me, Hazel, Nico, and Bianca all went on a road trip for spring break, I'm sure Nico should tell you the deep details, but Bianca got hurt, and wasn't able to go to her desired college in Greece. Ever since Nico is scared of driving and cars in general. I think him being in an inclosed space wouldn't help that."
This explanation really did affect the boy, you could see the pain behind the seafoam eyes. His expression remained normal, something the boy was used to. He was used to burying his pain. Only Jason was the one who could tell when he was hiding something. The boy with glasses examined everything about Percy. He could tell Will's words affected him.
"Hey! How about we have a sleepover at my place, and Percy you could invite Nico to yours!" Before Percy could speak Will interjected, "You know he gets nightmares, maybe that would be good for him," by that Percy was convinced. "Okay! Plans are settled I'm excited."
    They all high fived, some bro fists as well.
     Jason winked at Will, their plan had been set.
