You and Percy both got kicked out of Yancy school

He then took you home with him

Mostly so you guys could have a sleepover, but mostly to protect him from his obnoxious step dad who hates you

Percy slowly entered, all his luggage in hand

Step-dad: "As long as you're under this roof, and I have a job. You better listen to me."

Percy: "Job...? The only thing I see you doing is losing at imaginary poker."

He stated as he set down his stuff

Percy: "Where's mom."
