All Percy asks for is a break. That's it. But it's more than a break from having to go to camp and fight a war or go on a quest. He wants a break from the death, from the constant stress of having to look over his back and keep his mouth shut when he's home. Jason dead, and the deaths are not slowing down. Different people, different reasons. But it's constant. And all he wants to do is go to school, relax, and talk to his friends. Who knows, maybe he'll even get a new girlfriend or boyfriend, after Annabeth broke up with him. The only problem with that is that he doesn't know if he can handle not telling them everything. But there's only one way to find out.
