Percy Jackson!

“No! I am a ray of justice and daughter of Nemesis!”

“A ray of justice? I beg your pardon? I don’t believe that’s a proper phrase.”

“It is if I say it is.”

“That’s not how our language functions.” Trenton rolled his eyes.

“Well, it should be.”

“I need to teach you how to speak properly soon.” Trenton raised an eyebrow at her.

“Do I not speak good enough?” Lydia said, purposely mispronouncing the words to annoy Trent.

Trent flinched a little, scowling afterwards. “You speak very poorly, yes.”

“You understand what I’m saying, don’t you?”

“Yes.” He grumbled reluctantly. “But it’s not proper.”

“But if you can understand me, why do I need to speak correctly?”

“Because it isn’t proper.” Trent repeated, putting emphasis on the word. He narrowed his eyes, growing slightly agitated.

Lydia flinched. “Sorry. I’ll work on it.” She whispered.

Trenton groaned in frustration. “I didn’t mean to scare you.” He said softly, nervously chewing his lower lip.

“I know.” Lydia said quietly, still tensed up.

“I apologize, Lydia. It won’t happen again.” He assured her, almost frantically.

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

Trenton didn’t say anything, but the look on his face screamed I’m already worried about it.

"Trent, it really is ok."

“Are you certain? I don’t mean to be intimidating, I promise you. I would never do you harm.” He mumbled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I know. That was just instinct."

“We are certain I cannot kidnap Sam and you when summer wanes?” Trent gave her his best puppy eyes.

"You can try. Child Protective Services might not like it too much."

“I am confident in my ability to charm the government.” Trent attempted to make a joke. “I dare them to say no to me. My skills are unmatched.”

Lydia laughed. "Then please, kidnap us."

Trent smiled weakly, relieved Lydia was laughing. “Ollie and I can smuggle you into our dorms.”

"Yes, please." Lydia said, thinking about if the scenario really happened.

“I can only imagine the look on our headmaster’s face if she caught us…” Trent snickered, seeming to find the situation very amusing.

Lydia laughed, wondering what the scenario would be like.

“I’d have to shave your head to hide you, it’s an all boys school. Father didn’t want us to be distracted by women.” Trenton rolled his eyes.

“Guess he didn’t count on me being into guys.” He muttered absentmindly under his breath.
