HERE IT IS!!!!

Arranged

❝Every king needs a queen, now don't they?❞ he jeered, looking into his eyes. ❝And it just so happens that you already have one.❞

Sometimes all a prince wishes is to be normal.

They want to fool around, tease girls and exasperate their mothers. They want to be able to leave after breakfast and return by dusk, with a simple "Gonna go to my friends today!". They don't want to have to worry about the public disliking the girl they loved. They wished that they could head out without every head turning to them as if he were a diamond in a coal mine.

Prince Perseus (it's Percy!) Jackson wished all of these things and more. However, being the son of King Poseidon and Queen Sally, they weren't granted.

When Percy was 6 years old, he was sat down by Poseidon and a few advisers on how to 'set a good example for the kingdom'. He had to always be smiling, they said, and never, every throw a tantrum. He couldn't be friends with King Zeus' kids, and interact with King Hades' kids as little as possible. Queen Aphrodite's kids were going to be his best friends. Percy had thought that that was a huge joke. But, the next day, he was introduced to Drew and Piper, who was only a year younger than Percy. Piper and Percy hit off immediately; however Drew and Percy seemed to have many disagreements. ("What do you mean that you don't like horses?!" Percy asked, astonished. "They're too ugly and creepy!" Drew responded)

By 10, Percy had gotten used to all the waving and smiling and goody-two-shoeing and acting like he cared. He and Piper had visited each other often, and had little complain sessions together. Maybe that's why that they had gotten off to such a good start; their absolute loathing of the royal life. The clothes, the fact that they couldn't rebel, or even choose their own friends.

Yeah, that was the worse part. Sometimes, when King Hades visited, Percy wanted nothing more than to strike up a conversation with Nico or Bianca. Nico seemed like a cool dude, even though he was nearly 4 years younger than Percy himself. Sometimes Percy caught Bianca -who seemed way to mature for her age- looking at him as if she too wanted to speak to him. Every time this happened, Bianca would look dead in his eyes and smile, but a message was clear- she didn't like him.

It's short, but that's really I have to offer
