Hey peeps! This is just something I thought of tell me if you want me to continue!
Burglar: Put your hands up where I can see them!
(Points gun. I put my hands up.)
Burglar: Now hand it over!
Me: Hand what over?!
Burglar: You know what.
Me: I honestly don't.
Burglar: The Percy Jackson series!
Me: Oh! No, I don't own that. It's Rick Riordan's.
Burglar: Oh. Pack it up boys! We're gonna go pay Mr. Riordan a little visit.
Me: On with the story!
Annabeth's POV
It's lunch time. I'm sitting with my friends, Melody, Kate, Mia, and Alexa. They're rambling on about zombies and stickers and vampires. Don't ask me. I'm completely lost. I wanted to go to Goode with Percy, but my dad insisted that I stay with him in California. And by insisted, I mean said he won't allow me to go to Camp Half-Blood this summer if I didnt. I would have gone anyway, but I dont really want him mad at me. Just then, Maya walks by. She thinks I'm a TOTAL girly girl just because I have curly blond which I occasionally straighten, hate it when people touch my hair (Percy's an exception, am completely terrified of spiders, wear pink converse, sometimes wheresome eyeshadow and lipgloss, and I always wear this seashell necklace Percy made for me. He got the shells from the bottom of the ocean. He's the sweetest guy ever! If only she knew.
"Hey girly! How's your hair?" she asks in a mocking tone while flipping my hair. "I've got a little present for you."
Then she throws a real live tarantula at me. I jump up a scream. It's not my fault I'm scared of spiders! All children of Athena are. It takes everything I have not to give her a swift kick to the head, knocking her unconscious. Maya and her little group of thugs and tomboys walk away, howling with laughter.
"It's okay, Annabeth. Don't listen to her," Melody tells me.
"Yeah, it's okay to be scared of spiders. They are icky!" Alexa chimes in.
I sit back down and finish my lunch, waiting for the bell to ring. I have P.E next period. My favorite! I just wish we could use real weapons! And the rock climbing wall is barely ten feet tall with harnesses and no obstacles!
I go into the locker room and change into my P.E uniform. Navy blue basketball shorts, a plain grey tshirt and black basketball shoes. I pull my hair up into a high ponytail and head out, trying to ignore the pungent smell of dirty gym socks, sweat, and cheap perfume.
Coach Young blows the whistle after we all get back from the locker room and explains what we're going to be doing.
"Okay ladies! Today after running three laps around the school, we're going to be playing a nice friendly game a volleyball. I've already chosen the team captains. Annabeth Chase and Lillian Wright."
Lillian is a petite girl in most of my classes. She has brown hair with blonde streaks through it, green eyes, and elf like features. She used to have pink in her hair, but it's gone now. We're good enough friends. We talk sometimes and she's always the one who takes notes for me when I miss a class. There's something different about her though. When Percy came to visit, he said that she reminds him of the Stoll brothers.
After running the the laps, most people are almost dead,but I could run three more! The only others who aren't breaking a sweat are Maya and Lillian. Strange. For mortals, they have a large amount of stamina.
We pick teams and start to play volleyball. My team wins 3 times and Lillians wins 4. She's really good at sports like volleyball and tennis while I prefer basketball and softball.
We're on our eighth game when I see something that looks curiously like a giant snake. I excuse myself and stalk it through the school until I see what it's looking for. Lillian and Maya.
I race towards just as its about to attack and kill it in one swift move with my dagger. Lillian and Maya stare at me, their mouths agape.
I look down at my shirt and exclaim, "Man! It's good to have blood on my shirt again!"
