Chapter 12: I Stuff Up

Percy's POV

When I walked to school, Jason grabbed my shirt and rammed me into the side of the school wall. I groaned. "What do you want?" I asked. "To talk," Jason said. I scowled. "You didn't have to  smash me into the wall!" I exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes.

"Look," he said. "You've stuffed up." 

"I've stuffed up?" I asked angrily. Jason nodded. I clenched my fist and punched him in the nose. 

There was a sickening crack. Jason clutched his nose and I saw blood pour out of it. "You're going to pay," he spat before rushing off, probably towards the principal's office. 

Later that day I was called to Mr Brunner's office. I sat down, staring at my feet. "Percy," he said. "You broke a rule. No violence-"

"Is no ramming people into walls a rule because he did it to me," I grumbled, interrupting the principal. 

"So you must be punished," Mr Brunner continued. "So I'm thinking two week suspension." I nodded glumly. "Fine by me," I said. "Your mom has been called and she is coming now." I nodded again. 

When my mom came, she took me home and gave me a big talk about what I just did. Tears spilled down my cheeks and I nodded. My two week suspension had just started.


Annabeth's POV

Loneliness. 

That's what I felt when word got around about Percy's suspension. Sure, I had my friends but he and I were in a relationship and I loved him. Seeing him go through this wasn't at all fair. Jason was in the wrong and Percy shouldn't have punched him, but he did the right thing. 

Kind of. 

Since his suspension I had fell back into my old patterns. Reading a book and studying at a table by myself. 

I didn't even glance at the table I used to sit at, just stared at the boom, focused on the words I was reading. My dyslexia wasn't affecting me as much and I could read almost perfectly. Thank god.

During class, I sat by myself, bored out of my mind. I looked at the pen in my hands, and started to write notes for our essay. Looking around the room, everyone had one or two notes. I, however, had about twenty. 

After school, I examined the notes. They stretched over twenty pages. I stared in shock. Rain fell down on my face and I sighed. Everyone else was ahead of me. No one would know...

I gripped my book of notes and took deep breaths. I opened the bin lid and threw the book in. When I closed the lid and walked off, I felt a feeling of peace, freedom. 

Safety...


Piper's POV

I looked at Jason's once-broken nose. It had been three weeks since Percy broke it (who had returned from his suspension) and it had healed over time. "Does it look good?" Jason asked. I laughed and kissed him. "Perfect," I answered. "Just like you." Jason smiled and rubbed his nose. I frowned. "Does it hurt?" I asked him. He shook his head, "Not anymore."

The next day at school I was partnered up with Annabeth for a math's partner quiz. 

I hadn't talked to her in weeks. That made me feel a little bit guilty but I didn't really mind. At least I had Jason!

"So," I said to Annabeth. "Do you know what to do?" Annabeth scowled. "You should've listened," she snapped, eyes flashing. "Well you sho-" I was interrupted by Mrs Dodds. "Girls, stop talking. We are supposed to be working!"

I flashed the teacher a sweet smile. "Of course, Miss," I said sweetly. Annabeth scoffed. "No one," she spat. "Not even Mrs Dodds, is falling for your little ruse." I shrugged. "Who cares," I asked. "You should," Annabeth said, smirking. I rolled my arms and raised a hand. "Miss," I said. "Permission to go to the bathroom?" The teacher nodded and I stood up, walking off.

In the bathroom, I called my father. Unfortunately, I had to leave a voicemail. "Hey dad," I said. "Just wondering if you can..."


Leo's POV

During ELA, I looked at my phone, scrolling through Facebook posts. At school, we weren't allowed to use Facebook but I could hack into the system and let me go on the things the school blocked.

I liked a few things, disliked some others, and commented on some other things. There was still nothing interesting. I scowled and went on Instagram. Nothing interesting either.

I look at Travis, Connor and Percy, and see that they are on their phones too. We started texting each other. 

Travis: any ideas what to do, i am sooooooooo bored

Percy: me too ELA sucks!

Connor: I hear u bro

Leo: arrrggghhhh I'm dying curse dis stupid class

Travis: XD

Percy: any one got any prank ideas?

Connor: for once, no

Travis: *gasps* r u even my brother!? XD

I looked up from my phone, smiling for the first time today. Percy gave me a nod and tilted his head to the teacher. 

Who was looking directly at me. "As I was saying, Mr Valdez," the teacher, Mr Smith, said. "What is the..." I droned him out as he finished the question but when he was done, I answered. "Uhhh....twenty one?" I guessed. Everyone was silent. 

Then the class burst out laughing.
