C is for Change
"Do you have any change?" Percy asked Annabeth. She looked up from her scale model of the empire state building.
"Excuse me?" she asked. She just couldn't believe that he was asking her for change when she was trying to do something very important.
"Do you, Annabeth Chase, have any change?" he asked politely standing there, hands in his pockets. Annabeth decided to play a trick on him.
"Of course I do." She said searching threw her bag and handing him something silvery. He looked at it and shoved it in his pocket.
"Thanks for the chocolate, now do you have any change?" he asked impatiently. Annabeth stamped her foot.
"Perseus Jackson, I am trying to finish this model and you just keep asking for change!" she yelled at him. Percy's face stayed calm as he looked around her at the model.
"Looks done to me, so you don't have change?" he asked, eyebrow raised. Annabeth face palmed.
"When I finish this, you can have some change. What do you even want it for?" she asked, sitting back down and adjusting the model so she could see better.
"Bubblegum," he replied as Annabeth frowned.
"It'll get stuck in your braces."
"So?"
"So that's not smart." Annabeth said looking at him with a frown.
"You know that I'm going to totally disregard your warning and get it anyway." He said cockily. Annabeth sighed and went back to work. Percy left the room for a few minutes before coming back.
"Done yet?" he asked.
"No Percy, not yet." She said adding the finishing touches.
"How 'bout now?" he asked.
"No,"
"Now?"
"Percy…"
"So your done now?" Annabeth face palmed again. It went on like that for about 10 minutes before she finished. Then she dug in her purse for 25 cents. She handed it to him and he frowned.
"I'm going to need more than that." He said frowning unhappily at Annabeth. She was confused.
"Why? Did they jack up the prices on bubblegum?" she asked confused.
"No, it's just that…"
"It's just that what?" she asked cautiously.
"I want marshmallows now." For the 100th time that night, Annabeth face palmed.
