Hey, 3rd fanfic, flip on where Annabeth is a nerd and Percy is a swim team captain

Chapter 1

Percy's POV

I awoke to the sound of my alarm ringing in my ear. I slammed my handed on to the snooze button and sighed to myself, great another day of bullying, I thought to myself.

Where are my manners, hi my name is Perseus Jackson and I'm 17 years old and a senior at Goode high. I'm 6"2, and I'm what people would call a nerd, mainly because I'm one of the smartest in the school and I wear glasses as well, another reason to be made fun of.

I took a quick shower and threw on some clothes not caring what they looked like, they'd probably be ruined before I got home, so I packed and extra couple of shirts in my bag.

"Bye mom, I'll see you later" I shouted as I walked out the door, and shut it behind me. It took five minutes to get to school, I was early as always, I headed to homeroom and as soon as I walked in the room I caught something and a bucket of ketchup fell in my head and straight down over my top. Great it's going to be one of those days again I thought to my self and headed straight out to the toilets and changed my top, turning my ruined one inside out and shoving it in my locker, before anyone could see. I waited at my locker until we had to go to homeroom and I walked in taking my seat at the front since no one sat there.

As our teacher walked in he knew exactly what had happened with the ketchup on the floor and looked straight at me, his eyes seemed to say sorry. The day passed quickly and without further incident until mythology last, when Mr Brunner wheeled into the room in his wheelchair and announced our lesson plan for the day. "Hello class this half of the yeat we will be studying Greek Mythology, the first thing you are going to be doing is a project on a Greek god or goddess, you and your partner will decide which one you'd like to do. As you have worked out you will be in groups of two this will be due in four weeks time," everyone started looking at their friends and I just kept my eyes on the front, "don't be getting too excited your groups will be random, I have a hat of the boys names in here, girls will pick one and whoever they get is there partner no swapping is allowed. Now let's start over here, he headed over to a girl with brown hair who looked like she was of part native American heritage.

"Jason Grace," she said aloud and hugged the guy next to her, who was obviously Jason.

"Luke Castellan" a tall Asian looking girl said, Drew that was her name, slept with most of the football and basketball team.

This went on for a few more minutes until there was 4 guys and 4 girls left. I kept watching as everyone had been happy with their group, next was a girl I had never noticed before, she had blonde princess curls, and unusual stormy grey eyes. She pulled a slip of paper out of the hat and as she opened it she groaned at the name, at least someone else would be unhappy with their group, not just me. She sighed the spoke with a monotone voice, "Percy Jackson", I'm not going to say I was annoyed or unhappy because I don't actually have any friends so I guess its OK, she isn't that bad looking either. Wait why am I thinking like this. Everyone had chosen when I came back to reality.

"Hello, earth to Jackson, you in there somewhere?"

"Yeah, who do you want to do for the project?"

"Athena, she's the best" OK did not expect a stuck up cheerleader to pick the goddess of Wisdom.

"So you don't have to do anything, I will do it all and put your name on it as well. Then that means you don't have to be seen with mme." I told her, plus I work better alone I was going to say but I decided against it.

"As kind as that is I'm helping because I actually like to earn my grades. Now when are you free to meet up to do this project."

"Let's see no social life, I don't expect any bullying or pranks after school or on weekends, so anytime outside of school."

"OK then after school today at Starbucks, down the street and you better turn up so that I'm not wasting my time."

After that she walked off to her friends leaving a faint smell of vanilla and strawberries behind, around the seat she was sitting everyone was speaking I took out my math homework and finished it I fifteen minutes, at least now I had more free time whenever I got home. The bell rang and I picked up my things and left, just my look it was racing, I pulled up my hood and headed to Starbucks with the directions I was given. I got there as the blonde haired girl got out of her car.

Being the gentleman I have been taught to be I held the door for her and then walked in behind her. She turned her head towards me not paying much attention, "Thank you, sir" she obviously didn't recognize me with my hood up.

" I held it open because it was the right thing to do and I wanted to know if I could maybe buy you drink?"

"No thank you that's kind but I don't even know you," she said with conviction in her voice, I decided I should take my hood off.

"Come on you've already forgotten my voice, we only spoke about a half hour ago." That made her turn around and look shocked.

"I'm sorry and why would you want to buy me a drink when I've only ever been mean to you?" She looked bamboozled ( yes that is a word)

"Because unlike everyone else who I've been in a group with you are actually willing to work on the project with me and not just leave me to do it on my own, but not you."

"You really don't need to buy me something for that." She smiled and how cute she looked with those dimples, and what am I saying, she's way out of my league and pretty sure she's going out with Luke, the biggest bully in the school.

"It is also as a sorry. I pre-judged you and thought you were probably just a dumb blonde cheerleader, so I want to apologise and buy you whatever you were going to order."

"Fine, if you insist and a pumpkin spiced latte" (sorry never been to Starbucks).

"OK, you go get a seat and I'll meet you there." after 20 minutes of waiting I finally got the drink and headed over to the table and dropped down in a seat and hand my partners latte to her. "So I never actually caught what your name was."

"Was that a question or a statement Jackson?"

"Umm a question and call me Percy if you want."

"OK Percy, my name is Annabeth Chase. Word of warning never call me Annie or you will regret it."

"OK I will bare that in mind and remember never to do it because I bet you would beat me up."

We sat there for an hour and a half just talking and getting to know each other, I found out she actually has a dream job that is realistic not like most other girls who want to be models or actresses, she wanted to be an architect so she could build something that would last for a long time, like some of the ancient Greek temples.

"It was actually nice speaking to you, surprisingly Percy, although next time we probably need to get some work done and have food with us."

"Yeah that's a good idea, actually, where and when do you want to meet?"

"How about two days time since I have cheer leading tomorrow, and my house?"

"Sure if you want me at your house."

"Of course I do, you are a really nice guy, I'll try and get Luke and his friends to stop the pranks and bullying, but I can't promise anything."

We both went our separate ways and when I got home my mom and Paul, my step-father, both noticed i was smiling, a lot a happier and very late home from school which was unusual for me.

"where were you Percy and why are you smiling so much?"

"I was out getting to know my project partner, the we started the project. That is all mom I promise."

"And who would this project partner be if I may ask and when are you going to be doing the project again?"

"Annabeth Chase, and two days time after school at her house."

"You like her don't you Percy."

"Mom no I don't and we only just start speaking like ever, plus she has a boyfriend anyway."

I went to sleep dreaming of a blonde haired girl I didn't expect to like as much as I do and had told my mother I didn't like.
