A Loophole (Percabeth Selection)

5- "What Do They Think I'll Do? Chop Their Heads Off?"

After my little get together with Percy, I headed back to the table whilst Percy went to his seat. As I walked past Zoe I heard a little giggle. Smiling to myself I sat down next to Piper.

"What was that?" She whispered loudly

"What?"

"You smacked his hand!" She seemed to be having a hard time dealing with the fact that I smacked his hand

"So? I've punched him in the face before"

She spat out her pancake

"You did what?" She nearly yelled. We heard a tsk tsk sound come from behind us. We turned around and saw Sarah there

"A lady does not raise her voice above a whisper" Then she walked off

Piper turned back to me rolling her eyes at Sarah

"You did what?" This time she made sure to keep her voice down

"I punched him. He had a black eye for a week. We were like 7! Calm down!"

"You were 7 and you punched him hard enough to give him a black eye?"

"Well yeah. I trained with the guards"

She shook her head not believing this "Why did you punch the Princes face?"

"Long story short, he cheated on our annual capture the flag game. That thing is serious. No cheating allowed whatsoever"

She shook her head again laughing and went back to her food. Soon after everyone was done, Percy dismissed us

"Thank you, ladies, it was lovely to meet you all. If you were asked to stay behind, please stay seated. If not, your free for the day"

Stay behind? Was I asked? I don't think so. Piper got up with me and left towards the women's room. As I was leaving I looked back at the girls who had stayed seated. 5.

Ivy Valentine, 5, Cassidy Pitt, 3, Ava Pruitt, 3, Tegan Mace, 7 and Melissa Russo, 7. Was he sending them home?

I didn't get to see Percy as he walked over because the guards at the door slammed the door shut in my face. I looked over at the guards. One I didn't really recognise, must be a newbie, but the second I did. Under his guard helmet, I could make out whisks of blonde hair. When he noticed me I looked into those electric blue eyes as we made eye contact. His smile grew making the little scar on his top lip that he got when he tried to eat a stapler really show.

Jason Grace, Percy's "bro"

"Hello Sparky" I greeted him as I walked up to him which he smiled in reply. Making Piper notice and stop to walk with me

"Sparky?" She asked

"Just a nickname. He got electrocuted one time. Quite funny really. Another friend came up with the name, Leo. Piper, this is Jason Grace"

Jason bowed to her, making her blush.

"You know Annabeth, you don't need to go round telling your new friends about my life story," He told me

"It's not your whole life story! Just the funniest part!"

"You look very different, by the way. Never seen you in a dress" His eyes gave me a friendly once over

"Why thank you. I'm still trying to get used to it"

The doors opened beside us for Percy to walk out. His face looked pained. Maybe he did send those girls home. When he noticed that we were there he put on a smile, fake, and stepped closer to us
