The Masked Legend (PJO Fanfic)

Conversation with Them

   They sat there in the aisle not caring about the fact that they technically ditch their friends.

 
Time past and none of them spoke a word. The gray clouds continued rolling in.

It looked like it was about to rain or thunder.

   " How many years have we been friends?" Phoebe started first.

" You know I'm not good at math." Samuel simply replied. Phoebe however raised an eyebrow at that.

" You can be. You're just not trying to actually answer the math questions." Phoebe answered back.

" I only realize that 9+10 was actually 19 and not 21 when I was 13." Samuel said back.

............

" Okay let's not talk about your intelligence here. It's just going to hurt your feelings if we do. But........that furry kit-." Phoebe began.

" It's a Nemean Lion not a furry kitten." Samuel said.  Phoebe rolled her eyes.

" Same thing." Phoebe simply replied. Samuel looked at her incredulously.

He then sighed and put his hand in the air and seems to try to grab the gray clouds.

He looked at the sky half wondering what's for dinner tonight and half wondering that dragging Phoebe into the issue is one of the worst choices he's going to make.

  Thinking back to today, Sal really find this a horrible decision but if he ever turns back time, he would do it again and again.

Samuel sighed a little tiredly. He wasn't a man of complicated stuff like 9+10.

    " I-." Samuel began.

" You're My best friend you know Sam?" Phoebe interrupted him looking at the gray clouds rolling by.

  Samuel turned to looked at her not expecting her to say that. She was always the........in Zoey's words when she first introduce him to her, tiger type of girl.

  Aggressive but also can be sweet too.

Samuel was kind of disappointed that Phoebe did roar after Zoey's comment.

" You're a jerk, stupid, idiotic, oblivious, proud,-." Phoebe listed.

" Jeez thanks for all those compliments. I'm so moved." Samuel said sarcastically.

" But you were a like a big brother. Caring, kind, slightly funny, made horrible puns, intelligent when you want to be, and there are so qualities that you have. However, what I don't like about you is......you protect people and keep being the leader guiding us when we all knew you never wanted the position." Phoebe said.

" You lie for people. You hide secrets from your closest people. For what? For them? Not for your own dam sake. You did it others. So there is no way I would ask for more of you. After all, nobody is perfect. You work towards perfection but you ain't perfect." Phoebe said.

" I'm afraid that with me pushing your buttons, you get stress out. I'm afraid that because of us, you chose to do something you don't like and want to do. You're my best friend, I don't want you to get hurt or anything. You don't have to tell me about it. It's not like I want to know everything you do." Phoebe finished.

Samuel sighed.

" I just don't want you to get hurt, I don't-." Samuel started.

" Stop it!" Phoebe yelled suddenly.

" I'm tired of that excuse! Samuel, we'll be alright. Just do whatever you need. Not everyone will support you but.....we will be support you. If you ever fall, not just me, Zoey, Mr. Castor, Sora, Charles, your Mom, Noah, Leon, and many others will be right there catching you." She said smiling.
