"You'd burn the house down and the cookies along with it!"

                                    

                                          
Percy POV
                          
   Believe whatever you want. Did I accidentally start a fire in the 3rd grade at a trip to the fire department? Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. The point is, is that there are many rumors out there about me and only some of them are slightly true.
                          
   I'm Percy Jackson. You may know me as the captain of the swim team, or the boy that once ate 15 cold hot pockets in a row. But one that sticks is that I'm the school's 'heartthrob'. 
                          
   Girls and sometimes guys have asked me out countless times and I always decline. I haven't found that person where it felt right. At least that's what I thought.

"Percy, you got to get up you have school today." My mother calls to me after I ignored my alarm for the past 20 minutes. I groan in response and sit up showing that I'm up. She leaves the room with a slight smile and I start to get ready.

"Bro, I have to help my little sister make cookies for her dance team and I have a great idea." I bring up as I pull over my seatbelt in Jasons car.
                          
"Yah and what's that? Have your mom make all of them blue and then eat half of them?" I laugh at that cause it's something I would want to do but would never.
                          
"No no, I could just bake them at 4,000 degrees for 1 minute instead of 400 degrees for 10. Saves time and it'd be way quicker." I say with confidence, good idea right?
                          
"Percy that's the 3rd worse idea that has come out of your mouth!" Ok he is clearly raging about this, we then start getting out of the car carrying on the conversation.
                          
"What do you mean?" I ask him as we start walking towards the school.
                          
"It just wouldn't work, you'd burn the house down and the cookies along with it!" 
                          
"But they'd still cook."
                          
"NO PERCY-
"YES JASON!" 
                          
We argue loudly as we make our way into the hallways starting towards Piper, Jason's girlfriend. 
                          
We argued a bit longer but all that was forgotten when I saw a beautiful girl by Pipers side. That's when I knew,
                          
I wanted to be part of her story.
