Ben POV
"Soooo… Ok, I can't do this." I pushed myself as close as I could to the edge of the car. "Dude can you move a bit. You are fit, but you aren't that small you know."
"Opps my bad!" and just like that Percy finally allowed me some space to breathe. It took a bit of convincing, and promising to do some chores over the phone to finally be able to hang out with Percy and the gang.
I should have know that fitting nine people in a car was going to be a bit of an issue.
At least we were have fun gossiping and talking about random things. However, it didn't help when they would glance at me with a worried expression from time to time.
I guess Percy, Frank, and Annabeth told the rest of the group of my little hallucination, but what did I expect? I looked out of the window when Leo decided to crack a joke, sure it was funny, but I am certain that with this much people in the car, I am going to pass out if I let out another breath.
The moon still visible in broad daylight. Sure it wasn't as beautiful as it was every night with its soft, silver radiance, but I felt an attraction to it. The Sun, however, was a pain, it burned and blinded me and I had to resist the urge to curse every time I almost bump into someone because of it.
"Dude, I am going to prove that my mom's blue cookie is the best." Percy beamed.
"Sure." I smirked. When we stopped I caught a whiff of something delicious and sweet, and it seemed to be coming from the apartment building in front of us. Everyone else seemed notice because they seemed to be in a trance.
We climbed the flights of stair up to Percy's room for "exercise". I was surprised that they weren't even tired. I wasn't dripping with sweat, but I was close to being out of breathe.
Anyways the door opened and I saw the most gentle and kindest lady I ever set eyes on.
So this must be Percy's mom, she is exactly as how Percy described her.
"Percy talks about you all the time." I said once I shook her hands.
"Oh really?" Sally raised her eyebrows at Percy.
"It is all good things Mrs…..?"
" , But any friends of Percy is a friend of mines, so call me Sally." She gave me a heartwarming grin and I couldn't help but smile back.
"He talks about you, like you are a goddess of some sort." Everyone gave me weird glanced and I shifted uncomfortably. Thank goodness Percy's mom interrupted the awkward silence.
"It that true Percy?" Sally chuckled.
"But it is true!" Percy pouted.
"What did I ever do to deserve a good son like you?" She said as she pinched his cheek. Most guys I know would smack the hands away or tell them to stop, but he did neither.
He simply stuffed his mouth with a cookie. How he ever managed to swallow or chew it with his cheeks pinched would remain a mystery to me.
"Anyways where is Paul?" Percy looked around the room as if he was expecting someone to jump out and scare him.
"He is having another staff meeting." Sally
Wait is it...blue? The delicious smell seemed to be coming from the bowl of blue cookies plated nicely on the table. I resisted the urge to drool, after all that would be embarrassing.
Percy's friend snatched the cookies within seconds till there was no more left.
"Here." Sally handed me a couple of blue cookies. "I came prepared. Go ahead, you can eat anywhere in here."
I found myself in the living room stuffing my face with cookie. Percy was finally right about something, these cookies were a work of art.
I managed to swallow my cookies whole when Percy's mom showed embarrassing baby pictures of Percy.
"Percy I have to go do my architect business." Annabeth suddenly got up but Percy grabbed her wrist.
"But can't you stay here?" Percy pouted.
"You said that last time, and the time before that. Now I am far behind and I have to catch up." Annabeth smirked.
"Oh..ok." I didn't fail to see the devilish smirk that quickly turned into an innocent smile.
"I hope you understand Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said as she kissed Percy on the cheek, and she walked out of the door...into the room across?
"Wait she lives in this apartment?" I asked.
"We all live in this apartment." Jason said.
"Ok! Who is up for some Truth and Dare?" Percy beamed, but before anything else happened we heard Annabeth stomping back to the room.
"Percy?" Annabeth said calmly. "Where are my blueprints?"
"What blueprints?" Percy asked innocently.
I expected her to get upset or angry, but instead she gave him a smile smile.
"How about this. If you give me back my blueprints I will move in with you." Annabeth sighed. Percy seemed surprised, but that quickly turned into a big smile. "But that means you are going to have to endure me working on the designs the whole night."
"Deal!" He yelled as he speed off to his room.
"Umm Annabeth?" Percy poked his head out of his door as soon as he stepped foot into his room.
"Yeah?"
"Can you help me?" He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Fine, but you owe me." Annabeth ran into the room. "You guys can continue without me."
Suddenly we heard thumps and rustling behind the door.
"Make up sex. Nice." Leo beamed.
"Really Leo?" Piper scowled as pieces of paper flew out of the room. I rolled my eyes at his comment.
"You really can't remember where you put them! Why is your clothes from last week still on the ground and is that the math homework we did together last week?" Annabeth voice trailed off. "You are such a Seaweed Brain!"
I glanced at Sally only to see her amused, like as if this happens all the time.
"Hey. It is not my fault that Chuck is awesome!" Leo beamed.
"You made us watch it again and again…" Calypso groaned, but Leo simply put his arms over her shoulders.
"No I didn't."
"Oh yeah, so tell me what do replaying the whole six seasons ten times for this whole week mean."
"Ever since Leo and the boys discovered Netflix they have been hooked on the T.V series Chuck." Hazel explained to me.
"It means that Dr. Awesome really lives up to his name and that I could make an awesome T.V. with no buffering or slow streaming." Leo winked at Calypso.
"Now where is Festus?" Leo mummered randomly.
"Who is Festus?" I asked.
"Just Leo's little brother." Piper said quickly.
"Probably cooking or at least lighting the stoves in summer camp." Frank added as he tried to cover Leo's mouth only to pull away in disgust. "Did you just lick my hand?"
"You would totally be Casey, Frank, without the seriousness and more cuddliness! Piper would be Ellie, I guess... And Jason would be Dr. Awesome. I would be the smart, intersect Chuck or Charles Carmichael and Calypso would be my Sarah. " Leo rambled. "Would that make Annabeth General Beckman? It does fit her serious personality..."
"SO… is anyone up for some Truth and Dare?" Percy said holding a big bundle of blueprints with Annabeth behind him.
