Chapter 10: The Flash of Jealousy
Calypso's POV:
"Jason!" Annabeth called in my dream.
When did Annabeth start calling for Jason?
"Yeah?" Jason called back from the kitchen.
Ever since we became friends because of Piper, Jason pushed us to move to a better room. He was such a great and genuine guy, in return for the room, Annabeth asked Piper to come over here at least once or twice every week, and Jason was never more grateful for the new company.
"What are you doing here?" She called again.
"Making breakfast with Percy!" He called back.
I jolted awake when he said, Percy.
"What!?" I yelled. I was still in my pajamas, and Percy could enter any time and see my messy hair and droopy eyelids if he entered.
I ran to the kitchen and stopped when I saw Annabeth listing to a conversation of Jason and Percy standing side by side singing "Ring around a Rosie" while putting Jam on bread.
"Ya know, the chant isn't really a good song?" Percy stated.
"Why?" Jason replied,
"Because "Ring around a Rosie" used to be a kind of lethal sickness that spread throughout a few places."
Annabeth and I leaned in to hear more.
"The sickness killed many people and so the next line 'a pocket full of posies' actually means the people had to put the posies on the corpses to get rid of the smell."
"Woah. When did you learn so much?" Jason asked,
"The next verse, 'ashes ashes' is pretty self-explanatory." Percy continued, caught up in his own mind to wrack his brain for the answers, as he completely ignored Jason's question. Such a great friend.
"We all fall down" Percy sang the last verse.
By that time everyone was silent. I never knew such a happy song could turn such dark turns.
Annabeth came out of her shadows and hugged Jason.
"Hey! The only person who's supposed to hug me is Piper!" Jason complained.
Although they seemed close, we all knew that they were in the friend zone. Even Percy knew that but I could still see a flash of jealousy come across his eyes.
"Not the eyes of Leo…" my thoughts interrupted.
"Shut up"
"You know you want him"
"Ohhhh no you did not just say that."
Annabeth, Jason, and Percy looked at me like I was crazy.
"Erm… did I say that out loud?" I asked.
"Yeah, you said 'ohhhhh no you did not just say that' to a flower pot in front of you," Annabeth replied to me.
I'll get you back later! I silently scolded myself.
"Anyways, I'll meet you two in the dining hall where we'll give today's activities," Percy said to break the silence.
"By the way, there will be an elimination."
