Chapter 5
The song is 'Bambi' by Hippo Campus. I've only just gotten into them, my cousin made me go to a concert with her and they were reallllyyyy good.
My mom's birthing went well and Estelle Blofis is healthy. This is so exciting! Wait, what if it's not? What if I drop Estelle? What if they choke? If we're home alone? I can't make food for babies! How do you even fold a diaper? Someone approached me. "What's got ya worried kid?" "I uhm, don't know how to take care of a baby?" I stuttered out. I'm not prepared for this. This wasn't in the script. Cut! Oh shoot, he's talking again, "Don't worry kid, fathering is easy once you get the hang of it. My third one just popped out!" He laughed. "I'm only 17!" I squeaked in surprise. His eyebrows shot up. "Uhm, I mean. The baby is my sibling." I cleared my throat. He started laughing, "Oh thank God! You gave me a fright! 17 and a parent! I couldn't imagine! I could barely do my wash without my mom!" I chuckled awkwardly, "Yeah." "I better get going, don't want to leave the misses alone for too long ya know?" He hit my shoulder lightly and went back from where he came from. The second he turned a corner I let out a sigh of relief and slid to the floor. That was by far the worst experience of my life. Ew, why was I so awkward? Why couldn't I have just been normal? 'This is your fault Estelle." I thought and then laughed. 'I'm already blaming the baby for my messes.'
I shuffled into school, looking more of a mess than usual. I mean I can't look too good considering I'm a literal trash bag with legs. I bought my muffin and went to my homeroom. I need my friends to come into school because I need to tell them! I was going to text them, but then I forgot.
Time skip until after school
I closed my locker and started to head out, "See ya, nerds!" I call, waving behind me. "See ya loser." I heard from behind me. I walked out the side door of the school and started my cold journey to Stark Industries and yes, I brought a jacket as well as Peter's. I was going to give it to him in English, but we had a test that took up the whole period. I plugged my ears with headphones and turned on my playlist and put my hat back on.
When I get to the looming building I knock at the side entrance. This time Mister Smiles answers right away. "Oh, you were waiting for me, how sweet!" I exclaimed. All he did was close the door. 'I'm gonna get him to smile at least once.' I promised to myself. He led me to the same room as yesterday and left me. "Okay, cool." I muttered to myself. I went to the bathroom and changed. Mister Stark was there when I got back. "Oh, hi Mister Stark." I forced out, he startled me. "Hey kid, uh have you seen the other kid?" He asked, he seemed distracted. "Uh, not since school," I replied. Right as he was about to say something he came in, taking off his mask from his suit. "Hi, Mister Stark! Hi Percy!" He greeted, smiling. "Wait, I have your coat!" I pointed at him before digging into my backpack. I pulled it out and handed it to him. "I washed it." I informed him. Mister Stark inhaled, but then shook his head, "You know what? i'm not gonna ask. Turns out I've got some important meeting yada yada yada. Anyways, you guys can leave or stay here for a while. No training or breaking anything, got it?" Before either of us could answer, he strolled out the door. "Well I'm not leaving, I just got changed and my mom's still in the hospital. Also, I'm like 87% sure I don't have my key." I said and sat against the wall that blocked off the bathroom. "I'll stay with you if that's okay, my aunt May is working so there's no point in going home really." "Soooo, what should we do?" I drawled put. "I mean we could do homework, but I'd rather that be future Peter's problem." He replied. "Mood.' I put in. I thought for a moment. "We could go full 7th grade and play 20 questions?" "I mean, why not? You go first."
( bold=Percy, Italicized=Peter, normal=actions)
Favorite color?
Umm, red.
Traitor.
Fine, what's yours then?
Blue, obviously. It's the superior color.
Peter rolled his eyes.
Favorite animal?
Shark. They're pretty rad.
True. true
Any pets?
Percy slid against the wall until his head was propped against it. It looked really uncomfortable in Peter's opinion.
Mmm, kinda. My dad's got a horse (Blackjack.) and I used to have a dog, but I gave it to my cousin because she needed her more than me (Mrs. O'Leary and Nico). I want a cat though. They're just too cuddly. Any siblings?
Nope. Favorite movie?
Finding Nemo. If you could go anywhere, where would you go?
A black hole.
Percy's eyes widened.
I was thinking more like on Earth, but okay.
Peter shrugged.
I mean, you weren't specific. When's your birthday?
Aww man, that was mine.
Well, you could still ask it.
No, that's stealing. August 18th, by the way. Have you ever been skiing?
No, it'd be pretty cool to do it, though. Oh jeez, let me think for a sec.
They were silent for about thirty seconds before Peter thought of a question
Have you ever danced in the rain?
A million times! It's so much fun!
Percy smiled when he answered and contemplated for a moment, trying to think of a question.
Hmm, have you ever been stung by a bee?
Not that I remember.
Peter scrunched his eyebrows, trying to think of another question. It's hard trying to make questions on the spot.
What's the longest you've gone without sleep?
OOOOO, like three days, four maybe. Oh my gosh, this is really hard.
Wanna stop?
Yeah.
Hey what's up? This was the worst chapter in history and I am well aware. I'm gonna be honest, I'm going craazy. School is stressful, man. I mean like what even is algebra II? I don't know, but I'm taking it. My finals are in two weeks and I've only done one quizlet out of 3. One class hasn't given me a study packet and another has over a hundred terms. Don't go to high school kids, it's stressful (I'm kidding obviously. I just go to a high intensity high school. It's apparently not to bad at normal ones). anyways, I'm outtie. Love ya!
Sorry I forgot to highlight the author's notes, rip.
