Hey guys, so I deleted my other story as it is an epic fail. Here's another one of boredom's children.
Romance in a Day
I sighed as I grabbed my books and ran off. Yay, Friday at last.
"Hey, Wise Girl."
I turned around. A boy just about my height was smirking at me.
"Hi." I squeaked.
"Can you help me with my Science homework?"
"Nice greeting, Seaweed Brain."
He pouted at me. Cute.
My head's about to burst from the time pressure. Our exams were on Monday, and I haven't started studying yet. Screw being a child of Athena. I'm going to pass this like a normal person. Not that I have a choice.
"Come on, Annabeth." he pleaded, giving me his puppy dog eyes.
Aww.
"Alright, alright. Tomorrow." I grumbled.
"Thanks!"
And he ran off without a word. Damn.
"About time you got back."
Bridgette, my roommate, started raiding the fridge.
"Oh, just because you need me to help you study doesn't mean I can't lay off the whole studying concept to actually have some fun." she said airily.
I bit my lip. I'm not about to tell a girl I had known for only a few months my secret crush. Actually, I only get to talk to her during dinner or study time. Bridgette needs to spend time away from the Internet.
"Well, you don't really need to study, isn't that so, Ms. Stock Knowledge?"
"Damn right it is." she said through a mouthful of Doritos.
"Don't trash the place, I'm going to meet a friend."
Her eyes widened.
"Is it a guy?"
I was already out of the door. "Bye, Bridgette."
"Hey! Wait up! Get me a folder along the way!"
I straightened my shirt as I tried to breathe in some confidence Percy seems to rub wherever he goes.
I was wearing a plain blue shirt and jeans. And I also threw in my owl earrings. Just the way he would like it.
I knocked on apartment door.
Percy's mom answered the door.
"Um, Ms. Jackson, where's Percy?" I said nervously.
"Oh, he's upstairs."
"Thank you."
I trudged up the stairs. "Where's his door?" I muttered to myself.
There it is.
I knocked on the door.
No answer.
Again. Knock, knock, knock, knock and knock.
I opened the door and entered.
The room was dark, but I could make out Percy's sprawled figure snoring on the bed.
I sighed. This was going to be a stressful day.
