Unlikely Pairs


Annabeth adjust her glasses on her nose and disappear in the crowds. She held her books tightly in her arms, waiting next to her locker. "Annabeth!" Her best-friend, Katie Gardner popped out from the crowd with her boyfriend (Travis) following her behind. "H-have you seen the new album?" She said a bit breathy, probably from running downstairs to met her. "What do you mean?" Annabeth asked and turn on her iPhone to check whats recent on iTunes. "Ed Sheeran's—" Katie started only to find a hand on her mouth.

"Oh my god." She whispers as her big, round grey eyes widen when she saw several new songs loading on the phone's page. Though she looked completely in-control outside, inside she was melting. She was dying to listen and replay every single song on the X album. "No phones allow during school!" A voice rudely interrupted her thoughts. She looks up only to find him. Him and his sea-green eyes, searching her up and down.

"Since when do you follow the rules?" Annabeth practically spat in his face. "Aren't you just pleasant today, Chase?" He ran a hand through his messy black hair and then slip them both back into his black pockets. He was leaning close, like really close. Most girls would die in this position from blushing too much or from the scary expression he had on. That's something about Annabeth. She's not like most girls.

When their nose almost touching, she push him away, lightly. "Leave me alone, Jackson." She turn her back toward him and dial in her locker combination. Her back seem to be burning from the glare daggers he was throwing at her.

If looks could kill...

Annabeth couldn't help but let that thought float in her brain. She looked around and saw Katie (along with Travis) already left. But he, out of all people, stayed. That small smirk soon turn into a (she had to admit) cute lopsided grin. "May I?" He asked like it was prom or something. "W-what?" Annabeth shuttered, obviously confuse. He chuckles, which strangely made her stomach stir a bit. "May I walk you to class?" She lets out a warm sigh and nods. His hand curls around her wrist as they walk to their 3rd period class.

"Thanks. I guess." She blurted out lamely as they stop in-front of Mr. Brunner's class door. There was a silence pause, which gave them time to just kind of stare at each other. Percy wore a black hoodie with blocks stacking up, Annabeth realize it was an album logo. The logo of 'Soul Punk' by Patrick Stump in white ink. "We should go in?" He said, probably not meaning for it to come out like a question. Before they could reach the classroom's door knob the late bell rung.

'Sorry.' They mumble to Mr. Brunner and sat down. "Okay, class. I decided to assign a project instead of a test." The majority of the class whisper 'yes!' but then he added, "Project with partners, which I will pick." Blank faces everywhere. "Fine. Your partner is the person you're sitting next to." Annabeth turn and realization cross her face.


A/N: Everybody has a type of music. Percy likes Patrick Stump while Annabeth likes Ed Sheeran. Punk!Percy & Nerd!Annabeth AU. Anyways, I'm in-love with the vocals of Patrick Stump (FOB) and Ed Sheeran. They almost completely opposite but they both have passion in music, which I insanely adore in artists. Not much you see during these days anymore. Patrick Stump - Pop punk, pop rock, alternative rock, R&B. Ed Sheeran - Pop, R&B, folk, acoustic. May turn to Opposite Attract kind of cliche. Sorry it's short.
