Percy

(you are a guy) You slept through your first class with the strictest teacher. And then a friend called you: *"Hey, are you coming to class, okay?"

• You froze for a second, trying to figure out what day it was. Oh yeah. Monday. First period. And it was taught by none other than Percy. *
• But today, you were powerless against yourself. So this morning, you turned off the alarm and, thinking "just five more minutes," you slept through first period. *
• You rubbed your eyes with your hand and said the first thing that came to mind: *
• "To Peach's?"

You seemed to simply ask, but the laughter in the background only grew louder. Yes, among your classmates, the stern and cold teacher was called that... affectionately. You even smiled. It was a good thing Percy couldn't hear. You were about to tell your friend something like, "Okay, I'm getting up, tell Percy I'm sick," when suddenly... There was a strange pause on the line. Then a painfully familiar voice came over the line. Cold, with a hint of surprise. "This isn't your friend. This is Percy himself. " He was obviously standing nearby and probably asked to call you himself. Your friend put the phone on speakerphone and placed it on the table in the auditorium. Percy heard everything. Every word. And the way you called him. *"To Peach, yes."

• The laughter in the background grew louder. You look at the ceiling, at the lamp. And you remain silent. Percy is silent too. He waits for your answer.
