Percy's POV
Honestly speaking, 3rd grade rolled by fairly easily.
Of course embarrassing moments engulfed him, but they are always ending with joy. Especially with his best friends all around him. Despite Annabeth being in an more advanced class, she managed to find time for him.
They are still able to talk during lunch and oh boy-was lunch table full of chatters. To the point where students even loath sitting by him and friends.
Hilarious as it is, Percy's childhood brain still was filled with the beginning of the year incident.
Nico told Percy about Bianca going to the extent of Googling the definition of beautiful, and Percy was red the entire time after.
Ignoring that though, they moved on to going through the casual 3rd grade gossip.
"Did you hear the prank Leo is going to set in?" Nico murmured, the once shy kid turned out to be talkative.
"Yeah," Percy spoke loudly, frightening Nico out of his chair.
"Dude, uncool!"
"I'm pretty sure everyone knows about the prank." Bianca cuts in before Percy can retort, "he wasn't quiet at all about it in the first place."
"No duh." Nico fires back, slumping back into his chair after he got back up.
Silence followed until Nico started taking after narrowing his eyes at Percy.
"Hey Percy. Stop laughing. Dude. Stop."
Percy couldn't hold it anymore, he let it all out. Within a heartbeat, he fell off his chair and banged his head on the floor.
That entire thing ended with Percy finally leaving the nurse's office after lunch was finished. Following with Percy having to go out to recess alone.
"You can be stupid, huh Kelp Head?" Bianca teased once he met up with the others again.
He only groaned.
"Na-an-na-na!" Nico mocked, before screaming his literal head off.
Who knew tag can come out of that.
