Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

Chapter 12: Cafeteria bar-fight

Sadie pov

It felt so so good to get my revenge on him. On the way to Brooklyn house, Carter couldn't stop laughing. Walt was smiling and shaking his head, as Carter kept getting hysterical.

"Oh! My stomach hurts! Oh! The look on his face. What am I talking about? I couldn't even see his face!" He took in deep gasps in between speaking and laughing.

"Brother dear, aren't you getting out of character today?" I asked, a smug grin plastered on my face.

"Oh relax Sadie. I'm very well in character. But c'mon, you can't help laughing at..at that! It was hilarious." Carter said. My grin widened.

"It was, wasn't it?" I said.

We three laughed together again. As we entered the Brooklyn house, Walt ran off to find Jaz, while Carter pulled me into a corner. His smile had faded already.

"Why did you do that, by the way?" Carter asked me, his one eye raised like a proud inspector interrogating a cornered suspect.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Prank Sergil." Carter replied.

"What do you mean, why did I do that? I hate him, and I think he deserves that." I replied.

"Why do you think he deserves it?" Carter asked me.

"Uh...cause he's mean and evil." I answered, not sure where this was going.

"Or was it because he was mean to Percy?" Carter asked. Oh, so this was where this was going.

"Partially, yes." I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Look Sadie, I don't want you to.." Carter started, but I cut him off.

"It's nothing like that. I don't like him that way. I just didn't like the way Sergil spoke to him about his girlfriend." I said. Carter sighed.

"What happened after you left with him?" He asked me. I made a split second decision on wether to tell him or not. I decided it was better if I told him. Besides, it was nothing worth hiding,

I started telling Carter about how Percy kept muttering things about how Sergil was lying about him Percy truly loving Annabeth and trying to forget her and all that. Then I told him about the fit, and how he had recovered immediately after I poured water on him.

Then I told him, swallowing the lump in my throat, about the little conversation he had with himself after I had left. Carter's mouth was so wide open that an ostrich could have laid eggs in it, when I told him about Percy saying his friends made him promise not to try and kill himself.

"Never knew matters were so serious." Carter said.

"Me neither." I said. After a moment of silence we separated and went off to teach our classes.

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

The next morning, when we went to school, Percy was looking slightly better than yesterday. But the shattered look in his eyes hadn't left. Nico's dark circles were even darker, which meant he hadn't slept well. Nico was telling something to Percy, and he was nodding grimly.
