Today a girl I have never met is coming to live with us out of the blue. Mom decided to rent out the extra room in the house to a student. Now any other guy would be insanely happy that a girl would be coming to live with them…I on the other hand am sulking in my room.
"PERCY! Come say hi to our guest." Groaning, I forced myself to go downstairs.
"Hey. I'm Percy Jackson." I mumbled, looking at my feet.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Annabeth Chase." said a clear high voice.
I glanced up, then stared and then gaped. She was seriously cute; blonde hair that looks incredibly soft and shone and the face of a goddess. She was way better then the girls around here.
"So Percy", my mom said breaking my thoughts. "I was thinking that you should take Annabeth around town so she can get her bearings and get her registered at school".
"Do I have to?" I replied in a flat tone.
"Outside please." she said, oh here it comes. We went out into the hall.
"Percy her family trusted us with taking care of her, she hasn't done anything to you and you're treating her this way? Please just try to be nice to her."
"Do I have to?" same tone.
She shot me the do it or no dinner for a week look and yes she has done that before. Shoulders slumped I walked back into the room.
I beckoned Annabeth to follow me out, she thanked mom and followed, unphased about my response. We went to the garage where I kept my pride and joy…my car. A Chevy Impala; I worked five jobs to get this thing.
"So do we push this rusted object around town?" sniffed Annabeth. Huh, I wonder if she was offended from before.
"You could always run after me while I drive ahead." I replied coolly. She shot me a dirty look. I guess she's not used to people talking back to her. She got in shotgun, arms crossed, tight jawed and glaring ahead.
I backed out and headed to the school. "It actually moves." she mumbled. Gah, are all cute girls this bitchy? Well...I was the one who started it...ugh.
"Look I'm sorry, I'm just not used to this, having someone live with us. Can we start fresh?"
Her face softened up a bit. "Yeah me to, I'm still adjusting. I'm sorry, fresh start it is."
"So", might as well get to know her, "how come you're living here? Wouldn't you want to be with you parents?"
Her stone face is back. "No" she says in a tone that ended the conversation.
30 minutes of awkward silence later.
"My dad left me and my mom when I was a baby, I've never met him." I spat out. Don't ask why is said it. Hell, it just came out and why am I telling her? Sometimes I confuse myself.
She turned slowly to look at me. She gave me a look and it was like I could feel what she was trying to say: "Hey it's ok, look your doing fine on your own". I smiled back.
She then yelled "BRAKE YOU MORON!" I was that close to hitting old man Dionysus (damn so close, I joke...). I heard him screaming something about drunk teenagers or something so I flipped him the bird and Annabeth laughed. Huh, so she can be human.
I stopped outside the school; Annabeth had to register for classes.
"I'll wait for you here, just come back when you're done registering." I pointed to the swarm of students and the booths of teachers.
"Alright, thanks Percy." she said and went off to pick courses.
I laid back for a snooze while thinking of what to do with the rest of summer and the classes in the fall.
"Percy?" someone called from outside the window. I jolted awake, it was Rachel.
I'm kind of...fond of her? Yeah I like her and so does every other guy in this town. She's got a freckly face with dimples and dark red hair.
"Uwaha" was my stunning response; she giggled making me blush more.
"HIRACHELWATSUP" I almost yelled. Nice recovery Percy. *face palm*.
She laughed and said "Yeah, I'm done registering, just heading home. I saw you and thought I'd say hi."
"Would you like a ride home?" I asked, praying to god that I didn't sound desperate.
"Really? Thanks Percy!" she smiled, making my mouth slightly gape.
I drove her home talking about our summers and the classes we were taking. Honestly, probably the best part of my summer was this moment...I need a hobby.
"Here we are." I said pulling up in front of her house.
"Thanks Percy, I'll see you when school starts!" she hugged me and waved before she went inside.
I drove home in a daze, almost hitting Dinoysus again.
"Mom I'm home!" I walked into the kitchen for some grub. I got in around 11:00.
"Hey you two how was...where's Annabeth?" mom asked looking around.
"Who?" I asked with my mouth full of food, just as I heard the front door open and slam shut.
Hey look it's the new girl, my brain registered. Damn she looks mad, I'd hate to be the person she's pissed...ah crap.
Then she let out a shriek and charged me.
Ok so there goes my first fanfic.
How was it? Love? Hate? Heads up it is NOT a Prachel
Review please...hope you enjoyed this! I'll update soon.
