Okay. In one of the previous chapters Percy said that Annabeth was in San Fransisco. I'm changing that to Annabeth was going to S.F. at the end of Christmas break. In other words, I'm trying to get rid of Annabeth now that she's appeared.
My apologies to all who want Annabeth to be in this story.
She's not going to appear any more.
Penny had to stay in bed for awhile after that.
According to Percy she had had a high fever when he had come to check on her.
Penny seriously doubted it was as high as his was, though.
While she was sick in bed, Penny realized how much he had meant it when he said he would take care of her. Whenever she needed something, he was there. Every time. She had counted.
Penny wondered how he found the time.
When she started to get better, Percy brought her the homework from the school days she had been absent.
Then he helped her get it done.
Just because he didn't have a very good report card didn't mean he wasn't in eighth grade.
He was amazingly good at equine science, which was what her class at school was studying at the time.
She was pretty sure he knew more about it than the textbook had in it.
When Penny was well enough to go back to school, Percy walked her there every morning, and walked her home in the afternoon.
One morning she saw one of the creatures she had used to see, before she came to live with the Jackson's.
But this time it wasn't eyeing her. It was eyeing Percy.
If Percy noticed, he didn't show it.
When he picked her up from school that day, he looked rather tired.
Penny wondered why.
Percy Jackson was one strange kid.
Sorry if this chapter is shorter than others. It's kind of a chapter just to break the last chapter and the previous chapter apart, so it doesn't really mean anything.
As always, review!
