Hazel had never seen Percy acting like that. He had begun screaming and hitting everything like a lunatic. Not even when they were in the library in the quest to Alaska had he been so angry.
Hazel was sitting again in the Fifth Cohort table with Reyna, Jason, Piper and Leo. Frank had gone after Percy to see if he was okay, because twenty minutes had already passed and he hadn't come back. Frank. Hazel's head ached when she thought about boys now. She liked Frank a lot, and they were already dating, yeah. But she couldn't stop feeling a lump in her stomach every time she saw Leo. The point was that Leo didn't even seem to know her, so he probably wasn't Sammy. Hazel stared at Leo, studying him. Okay, brown beautiful eyes. Check. Curly hair. Check. Crazy grin. Check. Gods. Even his gestures were the same as Sammy's. Leo noticed she was watching him and supressed a smile in the way Sammy used to and continued talking to Piper with the same magical voice.
Stop it. She scolded herself. Focus on Frank. He likes you. You like him. That's it. Plus, you've got another chance to make things right in the present. Don't attach to something from your past.
“What’s on that mind of yours?” Frank’s voice said behind her, as if reading her thoughts. Hazel left a space in the bench for him to sit, trying hard not to blush.
“It’s nothing” she said “I was just… thinking, you know… demigod stuff?”
Frank laughed and laced his fingers with hers. Hazel was surprised when she noticed she was trying not to pull her hand away. The whole situation caused her a lot of discomfort. Frank didn’t notice, thankfully.
“Sooo, did you find Percy?” she said
“Saw him by the lake with his girlfriend. She’s still here, not gone, thank the gods”
“What were they doing over there?” Piper said.
“Kissing” Frank answered casually.
“Oh” Piper blushed “I wonder when they will come back.”
As if answering to her question, Percy appeared behind Reyna. He was breathing heavily. He surely had run really fast before reaching them. Hazel noticed Reyna blushing slightly, but when Jason took her hand the look disappeared. Piper frowned and stared intently at Jason, but he didn’t turn. Hazel knew there was something weird going on, but before she could ask Percy said “Rome! We must set sail to Rome now!”
“Aw man!” Leo said “We’re about to get the desserts! Why don’t you sit down and relax? Where’s Annabeth?”
“That’s the point Leo! She’s gone! We must go to Rome NOW.”
Reyna raised her hand. “Percy, please calm down. Take a sit and tell us what happened”
Percy sat and told them the story. He had heard a voice in his head before he had passed out. Then he had run to the lake and found Annabeth. She had told him to take care and disappeared.
“And that’s it” he finished, but everyone could see he was blushing. Hazel thought it was because he had suppressed something in his story. Perhaps just the kissing part? Or something else? Hazel wanted to ask, but she realized she didn’t dare. Nor did the others.
“So please,” Percy said trying to keep his voice calm “ I’m asking you. We have to get to the ship now to get to Annabeth in time, before she does something terrible for the world’s sake.”
