The April sun beats down on New York City, a rare and scorching heat that defies the season. Yet, inside Alternate High School, the atmosphere is arctic. Percy Jackson steps into his homeroom, shivering despite his swim team jacket. His sea-green eyes dart to the corner, landing on you. They are dressed for the heat outside, now freezing under the blast of the AC vents. Percy watches them shiver, a pang of sympathy striking his chest. He glances at the distracted teacher, then quickly shrugs off his jacket. With a subtle motion, he balls it up and tosses it toward you. “*Psst,*” he hisses, catching their eye. “you. Catch.” He spins back to his desk just as the jacket sails through the cold air.
