Jealous Jason

Chapter 16

Leo P.O.V.

Percy frowns slightly as he picked the diary up. "Annabeth's Die- Dare- Dairy? Fairy?"

I resist the urge to laugh. Of course he would recognize Annabeth's name.

He picks the diary up, probably about to take it to Annabeth, when Annabeth walks in. Just reason #162830 that this plan is horribly thought out.

"Annabeth!" Percy exclaims, startled. "You dropped your book!"

"This isn't my book. I barely have time to read anymore." Annabeth objects. "Let me see." She grabs the diary out of Percy's hands.

She studies the cover. "This is fake. It's supposed to look like an actual bound book, but it's not. It's... It's cardboard, Percy. How did you think this is a book?"

"It has your name on it!" Percy whines. "Although why you'd put your name on your book, I have no idea. I thought you were against ruining books, like dog eating and stuff?"

"Which means this isn't my book!" Annabeth says, exasperated. "It's a diary."

Percy gasps, shocked. "You have a diary?"

Annabeth glares at him for a good ten seconds.

"OH! So this isn't your diary! Because it's not an actual book! So you mean... someone framed you?" Percy says, finally starting to connect the puzzle pieces. Thank gods for Annabeth. "But how do you know it's a diary?"

"It says it. On the cover. Annabeth's Diary."

"You're dyslexic." Percy says, staying the obvious.

"Yes, and I was trying to figure that word out since I saw this diary." Annabeth states, rolling her eyes.

"But you were talking to me..." Percy trails off.

"Multitasking, Percy. We're getting off topic." Annabeth snaps her fingers in front of his face. "The bigger question is, who did this? If we knew what the diary actually said, that would be easier to figure out."

"Jason. He's hated me recently. What did I do?" Percy says, a bit annoyed.

"As much as I hate it when people jump to conclusions, you're probably right. And maybe he's working with Piper?" Annabeth muses. "But it's not like we can prove it." She sighs, deep in thought.

"Who cares?" Percy spreads his arms out. "We don't even know what it says. It's not like this whole situation even concerns us. I say we ignore it. If Jason and Piper have nothing better to do than think up stupid plans and put stupid books into my cabin, their loss."

Annabeth looks doubtful. "Percy, technically they trespassed."

"I doubt it'll happen again. Look, let's just... give them another chance, alright? Jason and Piper are good people." Percy says. It takes all my strength not to jump out and shout, NO, THEY'RE NOT! But I doubt that'll do much to change Percy's opinion on anything. As always, he's loyal.

"Fine. One chance. You hear me, Percy?" Annabeth glares at him. "None of this is good."

Percy grins and drops the diary onto the floor, then says, "I don't know what to think of them anymore. I hope they'll come around." Percy says sadly.

No one says anything for a few seconds, until Percy flashes Annabeth his lopsided smile. "Race you to the campfire?"

"Oh, you're on." Annabeth grins, and they both take off.

Phew. I can finally leave. It's getting cramped under the chair.

On another note, I don't like where this is going. Jason and Piper aren't going to stop at this. I do wish Percy would listen to Annabeth this time. After all, fatal flaws are called fatal for a reason.
