Annabeth POV
I glanced down the hallway in confusion. Percy never told me that Mrs. Jackson-Blofis was coming.
Percy's face was a mess, he was both red and white and a bit green. I almost laughed at his expense. He obviously hadn't known that Sally was coming either. I saw him visibly gulp and he looked at me desperately.
'Save me!' He mouthed
I shook my head no and smiled. I was about to talk but Percy clamped a hand over my mouth to stop me.
"Percy?" Sally called from the floor below, "are you still here?"
"We're up here!" Nico called, and Percy glared at him.
A couple seconds later Sally rushed in, holding, as she promised a light blue t-shirt with a small yellow duck in the middle with round glasses and a small banner that said; 'I'm not a nerd, I'm just smarter than you.'
Me and Nico both chuckled, and I assumed we both had the same thought, that was the complete opposite of Percy.
Speaking of Percy, his face was stiff that odd mix of colors, and I was sure he was sick. Sally looked him up and down, then frowned.
"Percy dear, have you gained weight?" She asked, still staring at him.
Both me and Nico smirked.
"Yes Percy, have you gained weight recently?" I asked him innocently.
He scowled at me. "Don't have to rub it in." He grumbled, obviously annoyed.
"Just stating the facts." I responded, a smirk still on my face. "I mean seriously, how long did you think you could keep it a secret? Thirty pounds is pretty hard to ignore."
"Thirty pounds?!" Both Sally and Nico said in unison, giving Percy twin looks of astonishment.
Percy went bright red and I laughed.
"Hush Annabeth." He said, "TMI."
I frowned in mock disappointment. "But Percy, I was just getting started!" I whined, and his flushed face went white.
"Oh yes, this is beautiful." Nico said, grinning. "In fact, it's so good, I should tell the Stolls…" he trailed off.
If it was physically possible, Percy was paler than before.
"You wouldn't dare." He said, pointing an accusing finger at Nico.
"Oh trust me Kelp Head, I would." He said, smiling evilly. "In fact, I might just do it today… or actually, instead of the Stolls, maybe I should tell Pinecone Face…" he paused, leaving the rest up to our imagination.
I thought up some really wicked possibilities. I glanced at Nico, and we had a silent conversation that went something like this;
Nico: Ideas?
Me: obviously
Nico: Gonna share?
Me: Later.
Percy obviously caught on, and interrupted us. "Don't even try it." He growled.
"We never said anything." Nico said innocently.
Percy glared at him, and I knew this was going to turn into a full-on big three battle, so I said; "why are we still standing here? Let's go to the living room." Or something smart like that.
"Yeah." Sally agreed, and I jumped, I had forgotten she was there. She was still staring at Percy in disbelief.
Nico POV
We walked down to the living room, and I noticed that Percy had acquired a new sorta slower walk. I blame his fat.
I smirked at this thought. Who would've known, I marveled. Percy Jackson, famous hero of Olympus and son of Poseidon could gain weight.
Guess no one's' really perfect after all. Not that Percy was perfect! No no no. He was just brave and loyal and funny and kind and all of the other good traits.
No, stop thinking! I scolded myself.
"-ico! Nico!" Annabeth's yelling finally reached my deaf ears and my head shot up, startled from my thoughts.
"Yeah wassup?" I asked dumbly.
"Oh no," Annabeth said dramatically. "Nico's turning into Percy!"
"Yet unlike him, I'll never gain weight." I grumbled.
"True." Percy said, "Nico barely eats anything at all."
"Yup," I partially bragged, "another awesome skill of a son of Hades, being able to survive with very little food."
"I wouldn't call that awesome." Percy stated, shrugging.
"Of course not, you beluga whale." I said, smiling at my awesome new nickname for Percy.
Percy just scowled and sent me a death glare.
"Ooh good nickname Nico!" Annabeth squealed. Yes, Annabeth Chase squealed.
"I know." I said. "That's why I said it."
That was when I realized that Mrs. Jackson had been silent the entire time. "Mrs. Jackson?" I questioned testingly.
"Oh, call me Sally." Sally said, "what do you want dear?"
"I was just wondering on what's been on your mind."
"Oh," she looked surprised, "I mean, I don't know, better question though, how are we going to solve this problem?"
"Good question." Annabeth said, turning to Percy, "how do you think we should handle this?"
