A Team Effort

Chapter 3

I guess I was thinking for a while because when I looked in the car window, I saw our house.

Our house is a basic mansion, with full white paint outside with about ten columns. Inside there 4 floors with elevators. The bottom four is everyone's favorite, Annabeth's huge library is there with our indoor swimming pool and my life size minecraft world is there. And since my mom's a personal trainer her gyms their, my dad also has a room and does… whatever billionaire's do.

Usually I'm happy when it's Friday because that means Saturday I get to go to Jason's and swim in his pool (which is filled with ice cream). But I just want the weekend to end, mite as well not get out of my room this whole weekend.

So I take the keys out of Percy's hand and run to the door to unlock it.

Once I unlocked it, I run to my room and prepare for Annie's yelling towards my parents and tries to explain how I shouldn't have another girlfriend until I'm 30 and how Percy is a terrible role model and how he influences every bad thing I've done. While Percy looks at her in confusion and smirks at say's and me I'm a hero to humanity.

I guess I fell asleep. Because the next thing I feel is water going on my face, out of frustration I punched whoever put water on me.

Seconds later, I heard Percy scream in pain. That woke me up. I looked down and saw Percy clutching his stomach on the floor.

I felt sorry for him so I gave him my hand and pulled him up. I knew it was time for dinner because Percy always has to get me to dinner on Fridays. But something was weird about Percy today. He was wearing a teal tie. He never wears ties, he says ties are for old people who are almost dead, so they don't care if they choke on ties and die. I didn't even know he owned a tie. Then I realized if he's being forced to wear a tie I'm going to be forced to. God.

"So, Percy why are you wearing a tie?"

"Dad has a business associate over for dinner, and we have to dress up to impress him and his family … I guess."

"Does that mean I have to wear a suit?"

"Yep. Come on lets go to the elderly people dressing room."

Let me explain, Percy and me created names for every room in the house. The elderly dressing room is a room full of suits and ties that only my dad touch. Me and Percy hate this room so we decided to go in and go out.

Once we finished dressing, we walked to the kitchen slowly because we also hate having to eat dinner with business associates who confuse us and say the last time they saw us was when we were diapers (I get that a lot).

We finally made it to the dining room and I saw the last person, I could think of, Piper.

What the heck is she going here? Well obviously she is in the family of my dad's business associate.

Luckily, she hasn't looked up from here lap, she's probably texting someone. So, I took that time to try to escape and go back to my room. But, my dad stopped me by telling me and Percy to join them. Even worse, him telling us to join them got everyone looking up from what they were doing and stare at us.

We accepted and sat in our regular spots, Annabeth on the right, Percy in the middle, and me on Percy's left, unthankfully that put me in front of Piper.

I saw her shocked face and I would have totally taken a picture of it but I thought that would be kind of mean. But her face changed to confusion once Percy started telling jokes. No one ever understands Percy's jokes but everyone like mine and there actually appropriate for little kids, unlike Percy's which are not appropriate with any age group.

Percy started with dumb blonde jokes (which really got Annabeth mad everyone else was ok with the jokes because non of them had blonde hair, but Annabeth does so she took that as a total offense. Percy then changed to gay jokes, they were stupid.

Thankful my dad told Percy to shut up and stop confusing them with his stupid jokes that made no sense, then my dad started talking business with his associate.

While they talked, I started to eat, as usual whenever our dinner has guests my mom makes her world famous spaghetti.

Even though I love my moms spaghetti, I wanted to get out of this place, so I did my lie #56.

"Mom thanks for the food but Percy promised he can drive me to Jason's for the sleepover I told you about, so I have to go, right Percy!" I said getting up from my seat in a heated mater.

"Ohhhh Nico I totally forgot! Go get your stuff, I'll get my stuff too." Percy said getting up.

Apparently, he wanted to go to, so we left the business people to Annabeth.

I ran to my room to call Jason and to pack my stuff. While, Percy goes to his room to call Thaila (his best friend) and pack his stuff.

Once we were in the car, I had to ask the question that always annoys him

"Are you sure you don't like Thaila?"

"Neeks, we've known each other since I was little and even though were best friends, she still thinks I'm an idiot."

"So, Rachel still dated you when she knew you were an idiot." Percy smiled and gave a short chuckle before saying" you must have forgot she broke up with me 6 months later".

"She was the also the only girl I dated for more than a week, I really wondered what happened with that relationship." Percy said

"She broke up with you because of Annie."

Percy made a slight frown and asked " Why do you think that?"

"It's obvious, Annie and Rachel have been best friends since they were 6. Annie probably guilted her into breaking up with you."

"Ohh, I guess that makes sense, so how about you."

"What do you mean, 'how about you' ?

"You know you're first kiss since Triff"

"Oh that, well not so good since Reyna kinda made me do it, but the kiss and the person was amazing.

But before Percy had time to reply we were already at Jason's house.

i'm a total Jason lover and I love it when jason's all protective of Nico!!!
