Percy stood on his balcony, and looks over the streets. Watched a guy selling hot dogs, A woman walking her dog. It was strangely peaceful, though it was so loud he could barely hear his friend yell from the sidewalk beneath him.
"Perseus Jackson!" Mia screamed, causings several people to stop at look at her strangely as she looked up at him. "How could you! I got an F because you didn't come to school and give me my stupid paper!"
Percy grinned. He was supposed to print her history essay and bring it to school, but he had been too "sick" to go.
"It's not my fault! I'm sick!" he gave a pathetic little cough making Mia smile a little. "It's not like I care about my grades" she called, walking up to his front door. "But it's the thought that counts" she opened it and walked in, being friends with Percy to long to knock.
Within moments she had climbed through his window and was standing on his tiny balcony, made for flower pots and plants, but was used by Percy as a place to hang out.
"Really though, why didn't you come?" Mia asked, sitting down, dangling her legs over the ledge.
"I just didn't feel like it" Percy answered, leaning against the bars. Mia slapped him on the arm. "Ow!" Percy yelled, though it didn't hurt that much. "What was that for?"
Mia glared. "Of all the days to 'not feel like going to school' you chose today?" she asked.
"It's not my fault! You're the one that had a cough last week and got me all sick!" he fake coughed again.
A small smile tugged at the corner of Mia's lips. "You are not sick!" she yelled. "Am too!" Percy yelled back. "Are not!" Mia yelled. "Am too!" Percy repeated.
"Fine" Mia said. "If you're so sick, then it won't matter if I put my hair dye in your bottle of shampoo? Or better Gabes? Would he expect a poor little girl to do such as thing as that?" she made a pouty face, and twirled the strand of hair she dyed every week, this week it was purple.
Percy glared half heartedly. "You wouldn't" Mia pulled a small bottle of dye out of her pocket and waved it around. "Watch me" she said, jumping through the window and into Percy's room.
Percy chased right after her. Down the stairs, into the kitchen, the living room, and….
Smack dab into smelly Gabe?
Crap.
