So I found these words on some PJO challenge-using 50 words to write a few sentences about Bianca, Thalia, Percy or Nico. I kind of elaborated on this and wrote more than a few sentences in some cases, and I hope it's pretty clear whom I chose. Updated in intervals of five! The word prompts are in bold, and my ideas from then on are obviously not.
Disclaimed: Not Rick Riordan
Some are post-TLH, some post-TLO, some whenever. Enjoy!
1. Loop
It had become a favorite past time of his, looping his finger through one of her princess curls and watching the light catch on her golden hair.
2. Shine
"Percy, listen to me. As a mother, I reserve the right to always beright, and I'm telling you to ignore those boys. Getting kicked out of school doesn't mean anything. Maybe they shine in the classroom and maybe you don't, but not everybody shines everywhere. You will find your place, I promise."
3. Crack
He didn't want to die. He didn't want his soul to be reaped after making a choice that would end his days. He wanted to live-to learn to drive, to take Annabeth to see the Parthenon like she had said she always wanted to do, to splash in the ocean and watch his mom publish her first book. He wanted to do normal things like maybe get a girlfriend and see the Grand Canyon and hit the Enchilada Shack with Grover after school. And maybe he acted strong, like it was no big deal, but Percy felt like he was cracking in two, and there wasn't anything to do about it.
4. Hide
He waits until the last bell rings, until the last kid leaves, until the teacher asks if he needs something, and then he 'misses' (see: ignores) the bus, giving him an extra forty-five minutes. Sixty if he 'forgets' something at school. If he's lucky, the game will have already started when he gets back, and he can slink around the poker players to his room, where he hides under the blankets until mom gets home.
5. Sin
He smiles and shakes his head at the waitress. No, nothing for him, though he knows this is an abnormality at such a late hour on a Friday night. Connor once teased him about it, and Percy had joked that alcoholism was a sin. Frankly, he could care less about sins and virtues. It's the scent of the beer and the memories it resurfaces that sickens him.
