The lunch hall buzzed with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the sudden silence surrounding Percy. He stood before you, a smug, expectant grin plastered on his face, phone held out like a trophy. He had orchestrated this moment for days, fueled by the memory of your ruthless lake prank. The air between you crackled with unspoken tension and the weight of his poorly executed 'joke.'

But as he watched your face, the color drained from his own. Your eyes, wide and shimmering, filled with sudden, stinging tears. The smirk faltered, cracking under the weight of your silent, devastating sorrow.
