Jason's Suspicion

Jason turned to look into the faces of three angry girls.The blond one,Annabeth,rolled her eyes.“You can have your stupid boat back."

“Why?"Jason asked.“If you don't want it,there must be something wrong with it."

Piper glared.He knew Piper well.“There's nothing wrong with the boat,Jason,we just don't want it anymore.Take it.It's outside."

Jason shrugged.“Fine."He stood and left the Beachside Cafe to go test out the boat to make sure it worked alright.Oh he was gonna get those girls...

The speedboat drifted at least four yards off shore,maybe more.“Tell you what,if you can catch it,you can keep it."Hazel snorted behind him.

“You're getting my boat back!"Jason protested.

Annabeth shook her head.“Get it yourself,jerk."She shoved him forward.

Jason hit the water with a huge splash.The girls backed up but water covered Piper and Annabeth anyway.They exchanged glances and ran farther down the dock,diving into the water.

“What was that about?"Jason asked Hazel,who ignored him and went down the dock to wear Piper and Annabeth had disappeared.She shot him a glare,then dove in after them.

Weird.Jason thought.He decided that since he was in the water,he may as well go after the boat.

“Why are you outside the boat instead of in it?"Someone on the dock asked.

Jason growled,“Shut up,Percy."

Percy snorted.“Well?Is there a reason you're in the marina?"

“Yes,"Jason said trying to be calm,“The three idiots who stole my boat released it in the water and said I could have it.Then they pushed me in."

“Really?"

“No,I just wanted to take a swim!"Jason yelled.“Of course really!"

Percy shrugged.“Good luck with the boat."With that he walked into the Beachside.

Jason rolled his eyes.He climbed into the boat and ran it back to the dock and tied it to the post.But the boat was the least of his problems.

Why had the girls ran off like that?A little bit of water wouldn't kill them.
