Chapter 4
I feel the water consume me I stay tucked in a ball and let my body float down to the bottom of the pool. I love the water its so cool and relaxing to me I could stay here all day...its so peaceful. When I feel my legs finally graze the bottom of the pool I decide to head back up to the top so I un tuck and push my legs of the bottom to give myself a boost to the surface. When I reach the surface I take a deep breath and head over to the edge of the pool next to Percy. "Nice D I'm going to give you a 10...okay 10.5" says Grover. This makes me chuckle it wasn't that good I'm not that good of a gymnast. "What about you Perc? How do you think I did?" I ask Percy. He does not hesitate to answer and says "10 definitely a 10." "Well Thank You I do what I can " I say and Percy and Grover laugh at me. After a minute the laughter dies and I decide now is a good time to ask Grover about English today. "So Grov what happened in English today?" I asked. "Oh nothing really but apparently Mrs. Dodds is going to the field trip to the museum with us next week." he says shocked as if he was hearing this news for the first time. " Next week! That's ridiculous I don't know if I can deal with this new sub for that long!" Percy say. I agree what is going on with our original teacher that preventing him from teaching us. Mrs. Dodds is a little crazy and I'm not sure if her being here is going to be good for any of us. "Percy your just mad at Mrs. Dodds because she asked you to read the board today." I say. "Yes I am I little mad at that! We never get called on and just because this new teachers here I might have to actually start paying attention." says Percy completely serious. Me and Grover just stare at Percy trying to comprehend what he said and I relive how ridiculous he sounds. I start laughing like a crazy person and Grover soon joins in. "Perc I don't think you realize how ridiculous you sound." Grover says through his laughing. Percy takes a minute to think over what he just said while me and Grover begin to calm down. " Okay maybe it does sound a little bad but you guys know what I mean." Percy says after me and Grover stop laughing. " Ya Percy we know what you mean." I say as I put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "So are you guys just going to sit there or are you guys going to play because I have places to be.." Grover says. " Ya I'm ready to beat Danni now." Percy said joking obviously because he knows that he cant beat me. " Har har har Percy you know you cant beat me and Grover who are you trying to kid we all know you don't have anywhere to be." I say jokingly. "Hey! I could have plans" Grover squeaks defensively. I look at him side ways for a minute and say "come on Grover" he throws his arms in the air and says "fine then whatever lets just get this over with." Me and Percy giggle at his reaction and I begin taking deep breaths. "You got the timer" Percy says to Grover as we make our way to the middle of the pool. "ya ya I got it" he says still flustered. " Ready , and Go." he says and me and Percy dive to the bottom of the pool and I lay at the bottom looking up at the surface. This is mine and Percy favorite game to play partly because we both love he water we have been playing since the first day we met in 8th grade.
-Flash Back-
That's actually how we met everyday after school I used to go into the schools poll and just swim or float around but that day I had decide to head to the deep end and see how long I could hold my breath I did the same thing I'm doing now just lay on my back and look up at the surface and after laying there for sometime a person dived into the water right next to me and as I see them enter the water I sit up to see who it was. Percy he was the "weird" kid in class that everyone always picked on and my moms best friends son. So I simply wave at him he looked shocked but waved back. I decide to leave so that he could have his pool time when I reach the top I see Grover and he says " Hey Percy...wait your not Percy." "No sorry to disappoint." I say then to my surprise Percy poops up out of the water next to me and says " Hey are you leaving?" "Ya I was about to" I say to him and begin to make my way to the edge of the pool but before I can get far he says "you should stay and swim for a little." this caught me off guard because iv never really talked to Percy before "Ya I guess I could stay for a little" I say and smile at him and he gives me a nervous smile back and whispers "nice." Trying to make conversation to avoid awkwardness I say "i was really shocked to see you none really comes here when I'm here." "Oh I'm here a lot I'm probably in the water more than you." he says. When he said this the competitive side of me came out causing me to say "you think so? I bet...i could hold my breath longer than you." I know I can hold my breath for a while so I feel confident. "Your on. Hey Grov please time us really quick." Percy said also looking confident. "Alright you guys ready GO!" says Grover.
-End of Flash Back-
It really shocked them when I won and of course he wanted a rematch. Ever since then we've been competing and becoming friends and now him and Grover are my best friends. Movement in the water causes me to sit up and I see Percy heading for the surface. I won again! I swim my way to the top and the first thing I hear is Grover saying "7 minutes that's a record for you guys and nice win D". Me and Percy swim over to the side of the pool and hop out and let our legs stay in the pool. Grover hands us towels. "Thanks Grover " I say while I begin to dry myself off. " I could have gone longer you know...i was just bored and wanted to be done." Percy struggles to get out. "of course Percy that totally make sense." I say sarcastically and I stand up drying of the rest of my body. Grover starts to laugh and Percy follows behind me "I'm serious.. I just..let you win." Percy says as he tried to catch up to me as I make my way to the bathroom to change. He does this every time he loses but that's just Percy for you.
