A Different Reality (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chp 107 - Will's POV

Will's Flashback

FRIDAY

Will wasn't thrilled about spending lunch with the cheerleaders, but Sharon didn't give him much a choice when she has right behind him in the line, and kept talking all the way, unwittingly leading him to their table. He couldn't escape without being rude, and Will was thrilled.

Yay! I missed talking to my friends.

Hum.

Oh, come on, they're nice.

They're not bad. Who are they again?

Can't you make an effort to remember their names?

I remember Lucy and Sharon. The other is... UFC? Dana? I forgot the last one.

You're hopeless. And she's Chloe.

Will sighed, accepting his fate, and sit beside Lucy.

"Hi, Lucy."

Lucy just nodded, not even opening her mouth in the wide smile she always wore.

"Hum."

Did we say something?

Not that I recall.

Will kept glancing at her, noticing she was only moving her food around.

"Aren't you gonna eat anything?"

Sharon answered for her.

"She can't."

"Why is that?"

Lucy turned to Will, and grinned, letting him see her teeth and the metal shine in it.

Ow, poor her. I wore it when I was 11, it was terrible.

It's good to see you can be sympathetic instead of mocking.

She's my FRIEND, of course I can be sympathetic.

"Oh, braces. When did you get it?"

Lucy was too busy carefully passing her tongue over her braces to answer, so Dana did it for her.

"She got them yesterday after class."

Will frowned.

"Are they still hurting that much? Even after 24h?"

Lucy snorted.

"They weren't hurting that much, but less than five minutes ago Vanessa passed by me and ACCIDENTALY brushed her shoulder on my mouth, hitting it. With force. Damn her for being so tall."

Dana sighed and patted Lucy's hand.

"I'm sure she didn't mean to."

Lucy rolled her eyes, murmuring.

"Oh, I'm sure she did."

Sharon's voice was tired, like she had argued with Lucy over it for some time.

"Vanessa had no reasons to do it."

Lucy glanced at Will, before answering staring at her food.

"She had, she doesn't like the... company I'm keeping, in her words, not mine."

Wait, Vanessa HIT Lucy because she befriended Nico!? How in hades she is the head cheerleader? Don't you have to vote for her or something?

I joined last year, she was already head cheerleader. And didn't get to vote for this year.

Why don't you protest?
