No Way! Not Her!

Percy's POV

Nancy and I walked along out of the arena in silence around the camp for a while. I hope she didn't notice how sweaty I was after my long practice in the arena. My hair was drench with sweat and beginning to stick my face and the hot sun wasn't helping. The last thing I needed was to give Nancy any reason to start bullying me again. I poured some water over my head and pushed my hair back in effort to look better. I looked over at Nancy who had her arms crossed over her chest looking down at the volleyball court. I notice she was a little shorter than I, about Annabeth's height. It was weird seeing her grown up now after all these years compared to the little 12 year old girl at Yancy. I wonder what she must have thought of seeing me since then. Back then I wasn't much but an unpopular loser who got kicked out of every school. Now I was the 16 year old most popular and powerful demigod who helped save the world from a huge Titan army. Not like Nancy would of know that living in the mortal world all this time so I don't know how she would perceive me now. I guess she noticed me looking at her and turned around to bark "What!"

"Oh, um...nothing" I said intelligently. She just rolled her eyes and messed with her hand uncomfortably.

"That's the stables" I said trying to make conversation. Nancy only nodded. So much for small talk, I thought.

'Those are the cabins for the 12 Olympians and those are the minor gods and extra cabins" I pointed out the strange assortment of cabins down in the valley. After the titan war we started to build more cabins for the other minor gods and extra one for the unclaimed.

"What cabin am I in?" she asked. Her voice was a little bit deeper than her high pitched annoying voice in the 6th grade.

"You will stay in one of the extra cabins for now" I explained.

"Why?"

"Because we don't know who your godly parent is" I replied.

"My what?" Nancy asked obviously lost.

"Didn't you watch the orientation video? The one explaining about the gods and who we are and that one of your parents are one of the Greek gods"

"Oh yeah that horse guy said something like that but...it's not true, right?" she smirked.

"Well...it is true and one of your parents are one of them" I wondered how am I going to explain all this to her. I never had this kind of conversation with someone who was new at camp. Annabeth usually did that kind of thing.

"No my dad is a lawyer in New York and my step mom is a teacher" she said matter-of-factly.

"Did you ever know who your real mom was?" I asked her.

She paused for a moment then answered me "My father never talks about her but he said that she left him when I was little". Nancy turned to look at the other direction suddenly interested in the canoe lake.

I didn't want to keep pressing her with the questions. I understood that this stuff could be overwhelming so I just kept walking in uncomfortable silence to the extra cabins below.

"So...um, Percy?" Nancy finally said.

"Yeah?"

"Well...um...look, I don't really know what's going on here and well...I just-"

"Need some answers." I finished.

"Yeah" she agreed. For a second I could see a faint smile of appreciation on her face but it quickly faded away.

"Well...I've been through the same thing when I was 12. Remember that summer after Yancy? Well Grover lead me here and soon I found out Poseidon was my father. Then after that I went on a lot of quests leading up to this big prophecy that unfolded these past few months. I know it's a lot to take in but you have to try to accept it, it's the only way to survive out in the real world. Back when I was younger I had to battle a Minator and-"

"You killed it" she finished.

"Well twice actually. Monsters don't die they just take a while to regenerate, but yes. How did you know that?" No one from the mortal world could have known about that unless they came from this camp.

"You're very famous around here" Nancy said.

I hoped the heat would help as an excuse to why my cheeks went red. We walked up to the extra cabins and I showed Nancy inside. A few of the undetermined kids had already moved into this cabin so there were a handle full of campers inside.

'Well this is where you'll stay until you become determined." I said.

Nancy walked up to the door and peered inside. A camper walked over and greeted her. She put her stuff down and looked around.

"Just follow the campers to the pavilion when lunch starts" I told her "…and Nancy?"

"Yes?" She turned to face me her red hair glittering in the sun was wrapped around her shoulder. For a second I wasn't sure what to say. My stomach felt like it was on fire and was about to explode.

"If you want to talk...I'm in cabin three" I said then turned away swiftly.

I didn't know why I just offered my help to Nancy my 6th grade bully. It was crazy idea but at the moment I felt really sorry for Nancy. I can relate to how she felt: lost, confused, and most of all lonely. She had just got introduced to this new place and felt like the rest of her past was a lie. Through all of this she just needed a friend. I couldn't blame her for bullying me back in middle school. People change as they grow older so maybe Nancy grew up too.

I decided to challenge the Apollo cabin to the Rock climbing wall just to get my mind off things. After that I took a quick shower and headed to my cabin to rest up before lunch. I thought about going to see what Annabeth was doing when I heard a knock at my door.

I turn around half expecting to see Annabeth standing at the door way but instead it was Nancy.

"Um...hey" I wasn't sure what to say to her. I didn't expect that she would actually take me up on my offer or more so I hoped she wouldn't.

"Hey" Nancy said "I wanted to see if we could talk a little bit" She leaned forward peering inside my cabin.

"Right, anytime-" I said. I was about to walk outside when Nancy pushed pasted me and entered my cabin. I didn't remember inviting her in and she made me feel awkward about her looking around my room. I guess no one told her about the "no two male or female campers can't be in the same cabin alone" rule. I lingered at my doorway unsure of what to do.

Nancy was studying the pictures I had hanging up on the wall of me, Annabeth, and Grover.

"Well I don't want to make a habit of it" she spat out as if asking for my help was last resort.

"So...you like camp?" I asked trying to make an effort.

"Why is there a bunch of beach stuff in here?" she asked ignoring my question and looking at the decorations on the wall.

"I'm the son of Poseidon, the sea god" I replied.

"Oh right" Nancy sat down on Tyson bunk and crossed her arms.

"So what can I help you with?" I turned and looked nervously outside to see if anyone would notice Nancy in my room. I debated to close my door but then ruled it out as probably not the best idea.

"I was hoping that you could help me figure out who my mom is" Nancy implied.

"Well...I'm not the smartest person in camp" I laughed not sure if I should be embarrassed to say that but Nancy made me feel uneasy. "You should try to ask help from someone from the Athena cabin like Annabeth" I suggested.

"Why her?" Nancy asked rather quickly.

"Well she helped me figure out who I was and she's the smartest person I know"

Nancy smirked "Who your girlfriend?"

"Yeah" I said. Nancy started to laugh.

"What are you laughing about?" I asked her crossing my arm over my chest.

"The fact that you have a girlfriend. Ha! I mean Percy Jackson the outcast of the year having a GIRLFRIEND?! What kind of loser would like you" she laughed harder. My face reddened. I couldn't believe I was letting Nancy into my cabin for help and she was making fun of me in return.

"Yeah well some things change" I said in defense. And some things stay the same, I thought. Nancy was still the same Nancy back in the 6th grade. I don't know why I even tried to give her a chance.

"Your free to go" I said gesturing for her to leave.

Nancy stopped laughing and stood up abruptly."But-but you're suppose to help me, you said you would" she sputtered looking shocked that I wanted her to leave.

"Help you! No way! Why would I help you of all people?"

"Why are you being so mean?" Nancy asked looking offended like I hurt her. I wasn't going to fall for that again.

"I'm mean? Look at you! You're just the same rude insulting little brat for middle school. If you want help you're not going to find it here" I yelled.

"Fine, I don't want to spend my time talking to a psycho who thinks the Greek gods are real" This time Nancy stormed up to my face but I didn't move.

"Good Luck lasting in the real world"

"Why won't you just drop dead" Nancy sneered.

"You know what" I yelled back.

"What!" she challenged me.

"I don't know why I even bother talking to you"

"I don't know why I even bothered to come here"

"Then leave" I yelled.

"I will and-"

"Percy?" someone said from outside.

Annabeth stood outside in front of my cabin. She was carrying one of her Greek mythology books in her hands and her hair was pulled up in a ponytail.

"Annabeth…" I said. My face was already red and I tried to take a step back away from Nancy but my cabin door was in the way so instead I looked like a clumsy idiot.

"Am I interrupting something?" Annabeth asked darting her eyes back in forth between me and Nancy her eyebrows raised.

"Uhhh" I tried to think of what to say.

"No, I was just about to leave" Nancy spat in my face and walked off back to her cabin.

"Is everything okay? What was that about?" Annabeth asked walking towards me looking back at Nancy.

"Nothing, she just wanted help to figure out who her mom was and then we got into a fight and she left. It was nothing. She's still the same brat she was years ago"

"I thought you said you guys weren't friends"

"Were not"

"Well, why was she in your cabin?" Annabeth asked this time looking at me in the eyes. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt.

"It's nothing Annabeth" I said closing my cabin door and stepping outside. That last sentence came out harsher then I meant it to. Annabeth crossed her arms over her chest and took a step away from me.

"Well sorry, I just want to know why some girl is in the same cabin with my boyfriend" she said. I turned around and grabbed her hands pulling her back towards me.

"It's nothing, I promise" I assured her.

I could tell she still wasn't sure about the situation and all that I was telling her but she took a step forward and wrapped her arms around my waist. I rested my chin on her head and we stood there for a moment until she looked up and kissed my lips.

"Okay but remember, your mine"

"Always" I smiled at her and we headed down to the pavilion together hand in hand.

Grover noticed us and walked over to my table sitting down next to me.

"So how was it with Juniper?" Annabeth teased.

"We worked it out...I was wrong" he said rubbing his ear. I looked at Annabeth and we laughed. She gave me one last kiss before heading over to the Athena table.

"So I heard you had to walk Nancy around the camp...are you ok? What did she do you?"Grover asked.

"Nothing...we just had an argument. She hasn't changed since the 6th grade" I said. Grover shivered.

"If she trying to put peanut butter in my hair again...I'll...I'll..."

"Grover, don't worry about it. If she does anything to you I'll make her wish she was in Tartarus"

Just then Nancy took a seat at the next table behind Grover and turned to give him a evil look. Then her eyes turned on me and I gave her my best death stare. I knew one thing was sure. That I was gunna keep my promise to Grover no matter what happens.
