AN: Hey guys, sorry about the long break and the discontinuation of my previous story. I had a creative block and I got a lot of assessments assigned at the same time, but now.. It's a holiday for me! Yup, two weeks, so I can stock up on this story, if it is successful.. I saw a prompt on tumblr and decided to write a story. This story will be in third person, but each chapter will be alternating the characters, dunno how to say it so you will have to read and find out. I will have the QOTC (Question of the chapter) at the end, so comment to get a small shout out. If this story has a lot of followers and reviews and stuff, I will keep going, if not, I will ditch it. Here we go!
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters, except for the plot.
Supernatural Attraction
Chapter One
Annabeth
:::
The glow of lamps glowed on the paths of Half Blood High, and no single person in sight. Except for a long blonde haired lady with glowing silver eyes, trudging along to her room.
'How am I supposed to tell Percy about these this time?' Annabeth muttered to herself. Her curly and sweaty hair tumbled down her face and she blew most of them out of her eyesight. She ripped a mask from her face and crammed it into her bag. Cuts ran down her arms and leg as she limped to her room, which she shared with her roommate, a boy named Percy Jackson.
Annabeth opened the door to room 86 and was not surprised when Percy was on his laptop, he was always on it. He quickly closed the laptop (with a bit too much force). She dropped her bag by the couch and sat down.
'Annabeth! What happened?' He exclaimed.
'Oh you know, I'm a villain who is out to fight some hero who has a code name 'SG'. I got beaten up today by him and I didn't even get to lay a finger on him! He always ruins my plans to take down the person he is working for, gosh darn it.' She wanted to sarcastically say.
'Piper had boy troubles again, you know her relationship with Dylan. I had to buy ice cream for her and talk about how great she would be with Jason. You know the drill.' She quickly made up.
'Okay, yeah, we all know about that. But what's with the cuts? It's the fifth time this week, Annabeth.' He said.
'Oh about that, you know that angry cat down owned by Mr. D? I was just minding my own business and she attacked me. You know how sharp her claws are, considering you got attacked by her before as well.' She replied.
'O-oh, yeah. When I got attacked by the cat.. Yeah, it hurt. A lot.' Percy stammered.
Annabeth thought something was up with her weird roommate. But then again, he looked like some one with a lot of secrets. He always hid his laptop from her and was often late back, maybe even more than Annabeth. But she thought such a kind person like him, who makes (failed) pancakes for her in the morning, who sat next to her when lonely in the cafeteria and is her best friend, no, his secrets can't be that bad. Not as bad as hers.
'I'll get the first aid kit to patch you up. You stay on the couch.' Percy said. He stood up and went to get the kit, came back and started to clean her cuts.
'Thanks, Percy. You're the greatest friend a girl can have.' She smiled. Percy smirked.
'Yeah, I am.' He said.

'Annie, he's looking at you..' Thalia muttered from the corner of her mouth.
'Who? And don't call me that.' Annabeth snapped to her sort-of goth sort-of sister.
'My idiot of a cousin. You know. The one who everyone thinks you are with?' Thalia said while doodling on her school work.
'Ugh. Percy and I are not dating, thank you very much. We are just very good friends.' Annabeth groaned. She hated those rumours. Plus, with her low social status and Percy's taller-than-the-Eiffel-tower social status, they weren't meant to be. Thalia snickered.
'Ha, that's what Nico said about Solace before they got together. And he said that for three years!' Thalia nodded to her other cousin and his boyfriend. It was a weird sight, a dark, gloomy guy holding hands with another guy with a literal glow around him.
'Yeah, but Will and Nico were actually attracted to each other. And since when were you a goddamn matchmaker?' Annabeth sighed.
'When you and Percy first met,' Thalia said offhandedly. 'Now, shush. Miss 'plant-crazy' Demeter will be coming any time now. We don't want ourselves to be working with the worms like last time.'
'Miss is coming!' Rachel shouted out. She had a habit of predicting things, and they were always right. Miss Demeter walked in two seconds later and everyone became silent.
'Good morning, class!' She said cheerfully.
'Good morning, Miss Demeter.' The students drawled in reply.
'It's great to see you all excited for work. Now straight to the chase, I have decided for you guys to work on an assignment about cultures. It will be due in a month, and, you will be working in partners!'
The class erupted with whispers. You could see people nudging each other, Thalia punched Annabeth, Nico and Will looked at each other, Jason and Piper stared, and a dozen girls looked at Percy, whose eyes where concentrated on Annabeth, who was too distracted my Thalia talking.
'Silence!' The class stopped and filled with dread. 'They will be assigned.' The class' mood instantly dropped. People stopped nudging and looking at each other.
'Miss!' A voice shouted. Everyone turned their heads over to the voice, Percy.
'Yes, Mr Jackson?' Miss Demeter asked.
'Uhh.. Can I please be paired with Annabeth?' He said. He didn't seem to be bothered about the dozens of eyes on him. Probably because they weren't on him, they were on Annabeth, who was bright pink due to the attention. Little jitters were all over the place, and a lot of girls giggling.
'Damn it, Percy! And damn the stupid rumours!' She mentally shouted.
'I knew it!' Thalia sung under her breath.
'Well, since you asked nicely, Mr Jackson.. Sure, you can be partners with Miss Chase.' Miss Demeter finally said. Percy grinned at Annabeth while the teacher listed the other names.
'- and lucky last, Miss Gardner and Mr Travis Stoll.' There was a feminine voice groaning (Katie, no doubt.) 'All right! Everyone sit next to your partner and start on your assignment. I will pass out booklets with instructions, chop chop!' Miss Demeter said.
Percy walked over to Annabeth (she saw a group of girls pass him a slip of paper, their numbers, no doubt) and cockily grinned. Annabeth replied by punching him lightly.
'Hey! What was that for!' He whined.
'You know I hate attention! Argh! That was so embarrassing!' She groaned and face palmed.
'Hey, that was sort of cute, the way you heated up.' He teased, poking at her sides.
'Stop that! And I was not 'cute', I was trying to dig a hole to Hades.' She snapped.
'Hey! You like Greek mythology too? Great! We can do our assignment on that. It's good that the school mucked up out room arrangement, right?' He said.
Percy and Annabeth were supposed to be rooming with their same sex, but since the school's system got it a bit mixed up, they got put together with no spare room. It was pretty awkward when they didn't know each other, but the warmed up nearly immediately.
'Okay, Greek mythology it is. But no slacking off!' She warned.
'Yes, ma'm.' He mockingly saluted, his sea green eyes sparkling.

Oh ho, here we go! New story new start, boom. I want to aim for 1,000-2,000 words per chapter so you guys can have more to read, but that means I need more time to write, so I will try stock up as much as I can, maybe 2 chapters a week? Yeah, that seems enough. I might update either once a week, or once every 10 reviews, I'll see which one works best, but for now, once a week, on Sundays NZ/Aussie time. Anyways, bringing back QOTC! May be a quiz question, or an opinionated one!
