it's been too long im so sorry ily my demigod/wizard friends

Percy POV

"Cheers, mate!" Some Gryffindor boy clinks his sloshing glass of pumpkin juice with Harry's. The orange, pulpy droplets splatter the table, and I use my powers to make sure that none of the stuff gets on me or my blue pancakes and eggs. I keep getting weird looks from people. When I went to sacrifice my food at the start of breakfast, Draco was in there too. He taught me a little spell to change the color of the food I'm eating. Man, I love that kid.

"Yeah, Harry! First match today!" Seamus claps his hand onto Harry's back, sending more liquid nastiness flying. I wrinkle my nose and sip my hot cocoa. British people have the weirdest tastes.

"So, Perce, are you excited?" My friend Rory twirls a strand of hair with one of her fingers and giggles. Girls are weird.

"For the match? Yeah, it's the first time that I'll be playing against another team. I bet Gryffindor is pretty pumped, too, right Ron? Harry?" I purposely put the attention back onto them, where they clearly want it.

"Bloody hell, yeah!" Ron yells, spewing little flecks of bacon out of his mout. Ew. We seriously need to call Hygeia to teach him about hygiene. The dude barely even showers. Thank the gods that us demigods get to have separate bunks. Otherwise I would probably have to sleep next to Neville.

"We're gonna cream the exchange students!" Harry announces, and the table cheers half-heartedy, looking at me. Everyone seems to really like us. All of our classes are so easy, and we've all made a ton of friends. The only downside is that Jason, Frank, and I both have to chase guys away from our girlfriends all the time. Most people have started to get that all of us are taken, though.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that!" Annabeh giggles, appearing behind me and giving me a kiss. At this, everyone laughs, with the exception of Harry and Ron, who both turn red.

"Yeah, well, I'm sure we'll really see what happens in the match." Harry fumes, storming away from the table and heading up to the tower, with Ron hot on his heels.

ΩΩΩ

"He really said that?" Piper giggles.

"Yeah, he legit turned red!" Leo laughs, "I saw it all the way from our table."

"What did he say exactly?" Frank asks.

"Oh, he was like 'We'll see what really happens in the match.'" Annabeth does a bad impression of Harry's voice, sending us all into fits of laughter.

"Okay, team! We all know the plays, right? We're all well rested? We know what to do! So now we're going to go out there and kick some wizard butt! Let's show them what demigods can do! Even though they technically don't know we're demigods!" I yell, and the team cheers.

We all take last swigs of water from the bottles on the benches of the locker room that we were given to stay in before the game. I am about to walk out when Piper calls me back.

"Hey, Percy, um, the team just wanted to thank you for really helping this come together, so we got you something." Thalia announces, and Hazel hands me a wrapped box.

I open it, and pull out a sea-green C patch.

"It stands for captain." Hazel says proudly.

"We can put it on your robe!" Piper cheers.

Leo takes it from my hands and melts the sticky side with his fire, then slaps it onto my silvery gray robe. They were a gift from Artemis, because of Thalia, who was technically taking a break from being a hunter. She chose silver not only because it's her color, but because none of the other houses have it. Also, because Aphrodite says that it's 'classy'.
