Those of you that have read my story we're in a what, keep in mind that the story will continue at a later date. By the way, the character Cordillia Jackson, is my OC. So anyway, let's start this new story! In 3…2…1…START!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson (PJATO or HoO)
Annabeth's POV
What are "opposites"? Some people say black and white. Others may think male and female. I believe that opposite, is a mental thing, not physical. Sure, someone who is not very strong can be considered the opposite of a buff and burly person. In the sense I'm talking about, though, is mental connection we all share. Someone who is focused and determined is the opposite of some who doesn't care. The same thing goes for a kind person and a jerk. Think to yourself…who's the mental opposite of you?
-Guide to the truth.
I look down at the black font and the easily ripped material that is our school newspaper. It's my article. I've been "Guide to the truth" since last year in the 9th grade. A year has passed by, and still, only three people know that I'm the one writing the most read thing in the school. That would be my best friend, one of my only friends, Thalia Grace. My other best friend, Cordillia Jackson, knows as well. The other is the paper editor, Piper McLean. We're friends as well, but I've known Thalia and Cordillia longer. I write things that have interested me throughout the week.
I lean back on my cold, green locker. I let out a heavy sigh. I don't know how long I can keep this up. If people find out I'm "Guide to the truth," I'll get a lot of unwanted attention. I don't talk much to people besides Thalia, Cordillia, and Piper. I occasionally talk to Katie Gardener and the Stoll brothers. We all sit together at lunch, with Piper switching between us and her other group of friends.
I shoulder my bag and re-adjust my army jacket. I throw my curly blonde hair into a ponytail, not caring how it looks. I wait patiently for Thalia and Cordillia. I hear feet shuffling. I look up.
I see the only nice popular people at this school. Jason Grace is in the front. He smiles at me and I smile back. He's Thalia's younger brother. He has on a dark purple t-shirt and blue jeans. Electric blue sneakers adorn his feet, matching his eyes. His blonde hair is spiked as usual. I can faintly see the scar he got from trying to eat a stapler when he was a baby on his lip.
"Thalia and Cordillia are on their way in." he says, stopping briefly. I nod and he continues, Leo Valdez trailing at his right side. His curly brown hair is unruly as any other day. His chocolate eyes twinkling. He has on an orange t-shirt and suspenders holding up his cargo pants. His fingers, seemingly not able to stop moving, tap his thigh continually.
A small girl holds on to his shoulder. She looks around nervously. Calypso. Her hair was hanging loosely at her shoulders shining like melting caramel. Her eyes match her hair. A white t-shirt hangs loosely off her torso. Blue jeans and white converse adorn her legs and feet. She's pretty shy. She and Leo throw me small smiles. I return them, not quite looking at them directly.
Grover Underwood, trails behind them, on his crutches. His green t-shirt says "Go Green!" and he has on baggy jeans and red and blue hi-tops. A red, green, and yellow cap covers the top of his curly, light brown hair. His leaf green eyes show nothing but happiness.
On Jason's left, is Percy Jackson. Swim team caption and basketball team co-caption along with Jason. His almost black hair is swept over to the side, as if he just came from the beach. He's sea-green eyes sparkle, it makes my heart melt. He has a blue V-neck that clings to his muscles. Black jeans are on his legs and blue vans are on his feet. He smiles brightly at me. I smile back then look down when I make eye contact, still smiling slightly. They all walk off to their lockers.
I see Piper run up to them, give Jason a hug and kiss on the cheek, and run up to me. I see Percy glance back at me smiling gently. That was the group that Piper alternates with at lunch.
Piper has choppy hair that looks like she got attacked by two year olds with safety scissors, and has a braid here and there and a blue feather braided in. She has on a blue shirt, blue jeans, and black vans. She is very beautiful, with eyes that seem unable to decide what color to be. She has kind of dark skin due to her Cherokee background.
"Hey Annabeth" Piper cheers. I smile a real smile.
"Hey Pipes."
"Where's Thalia and Cordillia?" she asks.
"Jason said that they're on their way in." Piper smiles.
"Did you actually talk to him?" she asks, hopefully.
"I nodded at him." I say, innocently. She groaned. Piper constantly pesters me about talking to people.
"Annabeth!" I hear Cordillia's melodic voice call. She hugs me. I chuckle.
"Hey, Cordillia." I say. Her choppy, curly, dirty blonde hair is down as usual, swaying at her shoulders. Her eyes match her older brother's, Percy, twinkling the same way. Freckles are sprinkled on her nose and cheeks. She has a lopsided grin. She has on an Imagine Dragons t-shirt with torn selves, along with black jean shorts that are frayed and end at the palms of her hands and blue converse.
"Percy says hi." She says, brightly. I feel my face heat up.
"Good news, then!" Thalia says, popping out of nowhere. Her, choppy, almost black hair, is down. Her bangs cover half of her left, electric blue, eye. She has freckles on her nose and cheeks. Eyeliner adorns her eyes. A "Death to Barbie" t-shirt hangs loosely off her frame. A dark leather jacket covers her arms. Green Day and Black Vail Brides buttons are pinned to her jacket. She has dark red jeans that are ripped at the knees. Black ankle boots adorn her feet.
"How is that 'good news'" Cordillia asks, innocently. I love her, and she's smart and all, but that girl can be so dense about love and stuff related to it. She still doesn't know that Connor Stoll likes her after two years.
"Isn't it obvious?" Piper asks her. She shakes her head in a "no" and Piper sighs.
"Percy likes~" I quickly cover Thalia's mouth.
"Shhh! He does not!" I say, "Ew! Thalia, did you lick me?!" she has a triumphant smile.
"Yep! And he totally likes you." She whispers the last part.
Percy's POV
I look longingly at Annabeth. She's moving her hands fanatically and bringing her index finger to her lips, telling Thalia to stop talking. I see my little sister, Cordillia, laughing lightly and Piper shaking her head, amused. Annabeth's beautiful. Her curly blonde hair, her stormy and silvery gray eyes…everything.
I feel a bump to my side. I look to Jason.
"Just go talk to her." He says.
"No way. She'll never talk to me!" I say, bewildered.
"Oh, please, Percy." Calypso interjects, "I mean did you see the way she got all shy when you smiled at her? I bet they're talking about you over there right now."
"I wouldn't doubt that," Leo continues, "I mean Piper's over there. You know how she has that sixth sense about that kind of stuff. It gets creepy sometimes." I roll my eyes.
"Come on Perce. I know Annabeth. I can tell she likes someone, it's most likely you." Grover says. He and Annabeth were friends in middle school. They still are, but they don't talk as much.
"Me too. She's been to my house so many times, I lost count." Jason says.
"She's been to my house a lot too. But she never notices me." I argue, "I answer the door, she asks for Cordillia, and then she goes to her room."
"Does she look you in the eye when she asks for Cordillia?" Calypso questions.
"Not really."
"Then she's shy around you."
"Isn't she just shy in general?" I raise an eyebrow, waiting for an answer.
"No, she just isn't much of a talker." Jason answers for her.
"Sure…" I say, not really believing him. BRING, BIRNG!
"Let's get to class." Leo says.
Cordillia's POV
So, my big bro has a crush, huh? This'll be good. I smile inwardly. BRING, BRING!
"I'll see you guys later." I say. I'm a grade below them, along with Jason, Katie, and the Stolls.
I'm greeted by the smell of coffee as I enter the class room. Mr. Brunner loves coffee and always has a mug on his desk. Doesn't matter if it's empty or full…it will be there. Connor waves me over to our seats. I smile brightly as I make my way to my seat.
"Hey Connor!" I cheer as I sit.
"Hey Cordi." I raise an eyebrow.
"Where's Travis?" I look for the other half of the pranking duo and best two of my best friends.
"Following Katie like a long lost puppy somewhere." He rolls his eyes, but I can tell he's happy for them. I chuckle.
"I'm glad they finally got together." I beam.
"Yeah." He stares at me for a moment, before turning red and looking down.
"Are you alright? You aren't sick right?" I feel his forehead. His face grows redder.
"N-no I'm fine." He takes my hand off his head. He looks at our hands. He sees to panic and let's go. I laugh and ruffle his curly, brown hair.
"If you say so"
"Hey Connor, Cordi." I hear the voice of Travis Stoll. He and Connor have distinct voices.
"Hi Cordillia!" came the voice of Katie Gardener. I turn to meet them. I wave. I smirk when I notice that Travis seems to have two Greek history books.
"Oh, you're going to be one of those couples, are you?" I throw them a lopsided grin when they turn rosy red. Katie rolls her eyes and snatches her book.
"I told Travis I could carry my own book, but no, he had to be a good boyfriend." I roll my eyes
"Ah, teenage girl problems." Connor gives me a high-five as Mr. Brunner comes in to start the lesson.
I hope you liked it! Just so you guys know, I only made Cordillia because I wanted everyone to have a love interest in the story (except Thalia of course). Even Nico will get a girlfriend later on. Also, don't worry everyone, Hazel and Frank will come in the next chapter. See you guys later! BYE-BYE! *runs away*
