Hey guys! This is my first time writing my own fanfiction, so bear with me? XD Also, I think that it sounds a bit like a oneshot, but it's not, and there will be more chapters to come!
Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine, except for Ryan and Ashley. Although I would love to be able to say that I own PJO!
Percy's POV
Tick tock tick. The little hand of the clock was slowly moving around and around the clock. 'Come on! Hurry up! You're almost there!' I couldn't believe it was possible for a clock to move SOOO slow! My ADHD wasn't helping either. It was just making me more and more anxious for what was going to be happening later in the day. I was going to see my camp friends! I couldn't WAIT to see all my friends again, especially Annabeth! I hadn't gotten to see my gorgeous girlfriend for months! I stared more intently at the clock, not wanting to take my eyes off the old clock. If my eyes had been lasers, they would have burned a hole right through the clock. Hmm... Laser eyes would be so cool, there would be so many uses for them- "Ahem." It would be so awesome if they could get rid of monsters too- My stepdad Paul cleared his throat. "Percy, Percy. Percy!"
"Huh? Oh. Hi Dad- I mean, Mr. Blofis !" I corrected after seeing my dad's stern look. I heard snickers rise up, and saw my mortal friend Ashley looking concerned at me and Ryan, my enemy smirking at me.
"Hello Percy. Now, if you don't mind me asking, is that clock really that interesting?" Snickers arose from the classroom.
I grinned sheepishly "Actually it kind of is. I mean, did you ever notice that there's a crack in the outer plating of the clock? Or the way there's a smudge-" I was cut off by the bell ringing. I saw the other students getting out of the classroom. 'Ugh! I'm going to be late!, and Annabeth's going to kill me!' I thought.
My da- I mean shook his head as he smiled, "Happy Birthday Percy." He said while he pulled a small wrapped box, it wasn't very well wrapped so I assumed it was Cassie who had wrapped it, out of his coat pocket and handed it to me. "Cassie helped pick it out." He said with a smile.
"Thanks dad. May I go now?"
"Yes my boy. Happ-"
I didn't get to hear the rest of his message… I was already out the door of the classroom. In record time I had put my unneeded books and my backpack in my locker, took my small duffle bag with me, and was on my way out of the school. As I starting walking down the hallway dropped a pen (a normal one, not Riptide) as I turned around to pick it up, I ran into Ashley.
"Woah!" Ashley said as I helped her up. "What's the big rush for?" she asked while laughing.
Now, I couldn't just tell her that I was going with my friends to the pool and then to camp, since I hadn't really invited her… It would've been too risky with my camp friends. A lot of demigods, especially children of the Big 3 attract a lot of monsters. "I'm going to meet up with my friends from camp, and my girlfriend today!"
"Oh… That's cool.." She said. I thought I saw a flash of disappointment in her eyes. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend."
"Oh… um… well, I guess it never came up…?" I said sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck.
Ashley took a step closer. "Well.. Do you think I could meet her?"
I grinned, "Sure!" She's coming to pick me up along with my friends in-" I checked the school's clock. "1 minute!" Ashley took a step closer. We were nearly neck to neck. I was feeling really awkward. She started to lean in… I was saved by the view of a Delphi Strawberry truck. I sort of pushed her backwards and said, "Oh look! There they are!" And ran past Ashley to go see my friends.
Ashley's POV
In class, Percy wasn't paying attention as usual, although he seemed more anxious then usual. I can't really get mad at him or anything for not paying attention though. I mean, the poor guy has dyslexia and ADHD, it can't be easy to focus and learn English! I also can't blame him since I wasn't really paying attention either. I have minor ADHD but no dyslexia, but my biggest cause of not being able to pay attention is Percy Jackson. I mean, he's really kind, and he's muscular. He's the captain of the swim team, and could be one of those jerky jocks, but he's not! On top of all that he has really nice hair and the most beautiful green eyes that I can get lost in forever, not to mention a really funny personality! Oops, guess I went off in a daydream about him again!
He says he has a girlfriend but I don't believe him. Sure, I trust him, but I think this is just something that he made up to keep Lily away. Lily, ugh, I can't stand her! She just keeps hitting on Percy and its really ANNOYING. She has this really high pitched nasally voice and she wears way to much makeup. She's always on a new boyfriend, like she can't even keep a boyfriend for more then a week! So, I guess I cant' really blame him for making up a girlfriend. I just don't get why Percy's making up an imaginary girlfriend, I mean with his looks and personality he could get practically anyone! Well, anyways, Percy seemed really out of it you know, but he seemed like he was in a really good mood. I decided to put my 'plan' into action.
My plan, to be fair has been put up since I met Percy which was like a year and a half ago. I immediately fell in love with him. But instead of making it really obvious, I decided to become his friend first. So now I'm his best friend, which is why I am the perfect choice for Percy! But anyways, I became his best friend, and had to make it less obvious that I liked him, which wasn't really that hard. I mean, I like him and all, but seriously, how oblivious can one get? Like Percy is like the most oblivious person I know. Oops. Did it again.. Sorry, I can go on for days about Percy!
So anyways after class I gathered all my stuff. Normally I'm really fast at getting ready, but I decided to slow down and pack slowly so I could go out after Percy, and so I could hear his conversation. I couldn't quite hear what they were saying, but I saw Mr. Blofis hand Percy a not very well wrapped box. Percy said something like "Thanks, can I go now?" and Mr. Blofis say, "Ok, happy birthday" Or something like that. Wait? Happy birthday? Percy didn't tell me it was his birthday… A wave of hurt went over me. 'No, don't be stupid' I told myself. 'Percy would tell me, it's probably just an early birthday gift, or maybe I heard wrong!' Well, I just shook my head. Percy had just ran out of the classroom and left Mr. Blofis just smiling and shaking his head. I said a quick good bye to and ran out after him. I saw him drop something after putting his bag in his locker and grabbing his duffle bag and turn around. He accidentally knocked me over. Don't worry though! I didn't hurt, PLUS Percy, being quite the gentleman, helped me up! I could've sworn I felt a spark! "Woah!" I said as Percy was helping me up. (Not because I was surprised, but because I felt the spark! I don't know if he interpreted it like I did but who cares? My plan will work and we'll be together forever!) "What's the big rush for?" I asked, while laughing. What can I say? The encounter put me in a Goode (Heh, I just love making those Goode puns, that's my favorite part of coming to school here!) mood. I saw him hesitate for a second before answering. But I just dismissed it off as nothing. "I'm going to meet up with my camp friends and girlfriend!" The word girlfriend caught me off guard. 'What if I'm wrong? What if Percy really does have a girlfriend?' "Oh… That's cool.." I said, trying not to making my disappointment show. Oh well, even if he DOES have a girlfriend, I'm sure I'm better then she is! I mean I'm Percy's best friend! So I decided to do some under cover work. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend." I said.
"Oh well, it never came up?" He said in a sheepish way, and rubbed his neck.
I took a step closer to Percy. 'My plan was going to work, it had to! I thought. "Well do you think I could meet her?"
Percy grinned, wait what? Why was he grinning? Ugh… I will win him yet! "Sure!" he said "She's coming to pick me up along with my friends in-" He checked a school clock. "One minute!"
Oh no! Ok Ash, calm down, I told myself. I still have a minute to make Percy mine! I took a step closer until we were nearly neck to neck. Percy seemed to be nervous. Aww, he was nervous about me! I started to lean in to kiss him… Wait what? Percy pushed me away?! But we were just about to get together!
"Oh look! There they are!" He said, looking relived, as he ran past me to go see his friends, leaving me just standing there gaping.
Percy's POV
After that close, no very close encounter with Ashley, I ran off towards my friends. I saw my friends at the entrance of the school talking and laughing. I saw Annabeth, with her beautiful golden curls and distinct grey eyes. I, wanting to catch up, ran as fast as I could, to get to Annabeth. I even ignored Ryan's rude calls. Sadly, I was running a bit too fast and almost crashed into Annabeth, but luckily I was able to stop in time, or else I would be in big trouble. Though, I may have bumped into her. But only lightly.
"What just happened- "She said turning around "Percy!" She accused.
"Hi." I said while grinning at her. "How'd you like my surprise attack? I call it the 'Super Percy Attack-"
"You are such a seaweed brain!" Annabeth declared in a pretend angry voice. But I knew she wasn't irritated. She had a twinkle in her grey eyes. That gave it away.
"Well… that's my best quality isn't it, and besides, I'm your seaweed brain!" I said
Annabeth rolled her eyes at me before leaning in for a kiss.
"OKAY! Time to break the lovebirds apart!" Thalia announced loudly . I heard Travis and Conner Stoll snickering in the background.
"Ugh.. come on guys! We haven't see each other for a month!" Annabeth and I said at the same time while playfully glaring at Thalia.
"Whatever you guys!" She said while laughing. "Besides, it's time to go-."
"Hey hot stuff? Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" We all turned to see Ryan standing there with his goons trying to flirt with Annabeth. I glared at him.
"Ugh.. First off, that is the lamest oldest pick up line ever. Second of all, who are you? The three stooges? Can't you see I'm taken?!" Annabeth snapped before slapping him.
"Come on guys, let's go." She said.
With one last glare at Ryan before we got into the Delphi strawberry truck. "That was awesome Wisegirl." I said before kissing her.
"It was.." she agreed before kissing me back.
"EWWWW! PDA ALERT!" yelled the Stolls.
"Idiots." Katie said while hitting them over the head.
Annabeth and I glared at Stolls. "Whatever Stolls!" I said while grinning. Nothing could make me mad now! I was with Annabeth and our friends celebrating my birthday at the pool. The day was going to be perfect.
Ryan's POV
I saw Jackson walk, we more like run past us to this van. I called out, "Yo Jerkson! Where ya going? To that camp for 'weirdos' like you?" My friends Larry and Henry laughed loudly.
I smirked at Jerkson, expecting him to get mad at me like he normally did, but he just ignored me.
Jerkson had the nerve to ignore me? OH he's going to get it! I thought to myself. But I decided to go see what Jerkson had ignore me for. And boy was I glad I did. I walked after Jerkson, and gestured to my friends, well more like servants, to follow. They looked at each other with a unreadable expression, shrugged, and followed me. When I got to Jerkson and his group of friends, I saw the cutest, most prettiest girls ever. There was this punk girl with a death to Barbie shirt that had this expression like, cross me and you die. She was cute, but not really my type. There was this other girl with green and and brown hair who was busy yelling at these two guys who had to be brothers since they looked so similar. I guess she was cute, but my eye was on the hottest girl of the group. She had princess golden curls and these really cool grey eyes. I'm not too bad looking myself, so I'm sure I'll be able to have her!
I approached her. I saw her kiss Jerkson. Perfect! Now I can have her, and get back at Jerkson. "Hey hot stuff?" I called out, "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" I asked while I gave her a flirtatious smile. I expected her to look at me loving me, or at least something like that.
Instead I got this really scary glare, like it was super scary from the girl, not to mention that Jerkson put his arm around her waist and glared at me. "Ugh, First off, that is the lamest pickup line ever." What? Did she… just insult my pick up lines? "Second of all, who are you guys? The three stooges?" I gaped at her. Did she just call me and my servants stooges. I think it was an insult, but I'm not sure. What's a stooge? "Can't you see I'm taken?!" She snapped at me. I just stared at her. That was not expected. Then, she slapped me. Hard. I just stared at her, with my hand over my cheek. Man, can she hit hard! That was going to leave a bruise!
Then she turned to her friends. "Come on guys, let's go."
Then they all gave me one last glare before getting into that worn out truck. Through the window I saw the princess kiss Jerkson, before the van drove off. I glared at the van until I couldn't see it. I sighed. Oh well, there's always other hot fish in the sea!
I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter! (This is not a one shot, and there will be more chapters). Please Review, and constructive criticism would be awesome! Like I said, this is my first item writing a fanfiction, so some constructive criticism would be awesome! No flames though please! Also, I will try to update at least once a week, but I'll probably be able to update more often since it's summer vacation. (PS Reviews will motivate me to write and update more XD)
