Rumour Has It

Chapter One: Rumour Has It

Annabeth Chase had always been a good girl. She was the student body president, had the highest IQ in school and had a column of straight A Stars on her report card since kindergarten. She had only be on a few dates but she always ended up ending the relationships cause she felt absolutely nothing.

She had just finished her meeting with the dance committee who had been elected to plan and bring to life Goode High School's Ghouls and Ghosts Gala as the titled it. To Annabeth it was just the Halloween Dance. She had never been a fan of Halloween and really wasn't interested in going.

She didn't care if she showed up without a date, or if she was obligated to go, she had no interest in Halloween. Her mother made her believe that Halloween was a childish holiday for the simple minded. Well secretly, Annabeth would go if someone asked her to the dance but she would much rather study at home but it was the last chance she would get to go to a Halloween dance.

Annabeth dusted her knee length grey pleated skirt, making sure her white blouse was tucked in neatly, fiddling around with her tie, straightening her blue buttoned up blazer and giving her hair a quick run through with her hand, she walked through the corridors of Goode High school; not failing to notice the constant glares she was getting from all the girls she walked by, and the multiple frowns and sad looks on the guys faces as she arrived at her locker to put her books away and get set for her next class.

"Annabeth!" A familiar voice yelled, immediately catching Annabeth's attention as she turned her head and noticed the familiar head of black hair rushing her way followed by another three blurs, two brown and one blonde.

"Easy guys, you aren't supposed to run in the halls your know." Annabeth hissed, closing her locker and turning to her friend who were smiling at her and staring at her with excited expressions. "Alright, what is going on here?"

Will, the blonde blur rushed forward, backing Annabeth into the lockers, his bright baby blue eyes filled with thanks and happiness, which matched the blindingly bright yellow shirt he was wearing with a pair of loose orange khaki shorts and a pair of sandals, his blonde hair hanging off his head in a messy mop of shiny gold, his fringe reaching just above his eyes, he liked his hair like that.

"You remember that rumour about Nico Di Angelo not being straight and that he was planning to ask me out to the dance." Annabeth gives a single nod. "Well it is true and he was shy and nervous when he asked me which is strange for a bad boy punk, no Emo, yeah he's Emo and dark and dreary which is what I really, really, really like and how handsome is he when he sits on his motor cycle, egad how badly I just wanna run my hand through his silky brown hair. And gods those eyes; they're like pools of dark chocolate that I just wanna..." Will rambled to himself dreamily.

"Enough about your stupid crush Solace." The dark haired woman, her black hair cut in an rough edged, uneven pixie cut hair style that suited her, her powerful stormy electric blue eyes filled with annoyance as she swatted Will upside the head before crossing her arms across her chest, the image of a Barbie doll with and arrow through its head on her black t-shirt being hidden by her arms. She was wearing black leather skinny jeans and a pair of black biker boots to match. "And here I thought that you were actually a dude and not a fan-girl like Drew fawning over him."

Will blushed and muttered a "Shut up," his blush only brightening. His crush on Nico di Angelo, an Emo bad boy that rode a sleek motorcycle that looked identical to the one in the Ghost Rider movie (minus the flames) was not a secret. Will had the hots for him since they came to Goode. Nico had an obsession with skulls, considering each one of his leather jackets he wore had a flaming skull sewn professionally on the back. All will ever did in class, lunch, and homeroom was stare directly at Nico if he was present which he always was.

No one ever expected the bad boy Emo, that loved the colour black to have a thing for the bubbliest, most lively and bright person in good high which was ofcourse, Will Solace. Opposites really do attract.

"Can you get on with the story please?" Annabeth groaned, her gaze turning to the other two present. Piper McLean came from Cherokee descent with chocolate-brown hair that was choppy and unevenly cut, some strands braided on both sides, and a feather at the end of one. Piper Mclean had tomboyish nature and appearance but don't judge a book by its cover because she is beautiful, her dark tanned skin was clear of blemishes, imperfections.

The girl had a unique condition when it came to her eyes, in the lighting of certain rooms her eyes changed colour, they went from brown to blue to green in an effortless kaleidoscope of colour but no one knew the exact colour of her eyes, it truly fascinated everyone how her eyes changed colour, in one moment they would be a warm brown, then the next a rich green, and in the next and deep blue.

It looked like in this moment, her eyes were a bright and warm brown as she spoke with glea. "Okay, when Will was on his way to see Nico he stopped when he heard Torrington conversing with Cecil, one of Nico's friends and they mentioned something about a rumour that had been spreading." Piper explained calmly.

"So Will came to Piper who went and asked Drew who heard the very rumour and it's about you." The African American girl with a complexion similar to the colour of a roasted coffee bean, with shoulder length curly cinnamon brown hair, her golden eyes filled with excitement. "It turns out its a rumour that's been circulating for about a month, well since before the posters for the Halloween dance were put up."

Annabeth was getting very frustrated. "What is the rumour?" Annabeth demanded, annoyed completely right now by the impending wait of what this damn rumour was.

"Rumour has it that Nico's cousin, leader of their little bad boy click, captain of the swim team and leader of their band, Perseus Achilles Jackson is planning to ask you to the Goode High School's Ghouls and Ghosts Gala in a week from the dance which is today at about-." Will gasps out, showing the others his watch and they gasp. Annabeth had lost interest.

Annabeth rolled her eyes, turning back to her locker to grab her books, "it's just a rumour guys, they probably confused me with someone else cause why else would Goode High's supreme bachelor and bad boy, ask a good girl like me to the Halloween dance." She murmured as she closed her locker and turned to face her friends but they were gone, but a shadow was being cast by hers.

Annabeth quickly turned round and almost dropped her books when she saw who was standing behind her, leaning casually against the lockers, twirling the key of his motorcycle, Riptide in between his fingers that were sticking out his fingerless gloves, his hair messy which only highlighted the pure hotness of his face, his sea green eyes watching Annabeth with pure fascination. Annabeth made a mental not that piper's green eyes looked nothing like his, in fact she wasn't sure she had ever seen that colour before.

The instant she saw him, she knew who he was. This Greek god like being dressed in a black and tight short sleeved shirt that bended round each and every one of his defined muscles lines, especially the six back that lay beneath that shirt, black jeans hugging his long muscular legs, his signature leather jacket hanging off the hand that wasn't holding the key and over his shoulder was the bad boy and top bachelor of Goode High.

Perseus Achilles Jackson was standing right before her.

"I take it you heard the rumour Miss Chase." Percy spoke, his voice deep and husky that actually left chills running down Annabeth's spine, how was it possible that this guy had this kind of effect on her. Annabeth's lips parted slightly to answer but her voice was lost on her. She just couldn't comprehend what was wrong with her as she gapped like a fish and Percy's face graced a cool, leg to jelly turning smirk as Annabeth nodded once. "You are very cute you know."

Annabeth nearly collapsed, he knees felt like they were going to give way any moment, her cheeks becoming dusted with a light blush. "T-T-Tha-nk y-yo-u." She stuttered, nervously tucking a loose tress of her blonde hair behind her ear, fighting the urge to bit her bottom lip.

"Well I came to confirm the rumour's truth. Do you want to go with me to the Ghouls and Ghosts Gala next week Friday?" He asked, his voice sincere, honest, Annabeth could tell that he was genuinely being honest.

Annabeth opened her mouth to answer with an "Okay," but it came out very high pitched and Perseus smiled. Annabeth gulped as he stepped closer, his arms encasing her in a cages against the locker's, Annabeth's heart drumming harder than a knockout punch against her chest, and faster than lightning, her free hand that wasn't holding her books was pressed against the locker.

Annabeth tried to compose herself, but gulped as she stared up into the supreme bad boy's eyes and then down to his perfectly shaped lips, so smooth, her senses being wafted but the oceanic and salty breeze that encased him, as she stared at his lips and wandered if they tasted the same as he smelt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like her legs were going to give in any second. "I look forward to it." He whispered into her ear, his warm breath making her gasp at the shivers than ran down her bones. He reached into her front blazer pocket and pulled out her phone out and flipped it open, typing something in.

"What are you doing Perseus?" Annabeth asked, more like stuttered yet again, internally groaning at herself. Why was she acting like all the girls who did when they swooned over him.

"Percy." He answered, still fixated on his current task when a loud beat sounded into the hallway from his back pocket and he pulled it out and smiled. Annabeth was still confused by what he had said as he closed her phone and put it in her pocket. "My number is saved as Percy, hearing people call me Perseus makes me feel old. I have your number and you have mine, you can text me the time you want me to fetch you and your address."

"Oh..." Annabeth spoke, feeling a little silly, the lop-sided smile on Percy's face really made her heart drum. "I can't wait, ummm, Percy." Annabeth answered, her hand gripping her books tighter due to her sweaty palm.

"Me neither, Wise Girl." He winked and Annabeth lost all bearings and control of her body when he leaned in and whispered that nickname and all her books slid out her hands and to the floor. Percy smiled and picked them up for her, "You dropped these," he stated in a playful tone as he placed the books in Annabeth's arms and winked once more, walking away and the minute he rounded the corner, Annabeth could finally breath again.

"Sweet mother of Rhea." She gasped as she looked to the side and saw Thalia standing there, a gigantic smirk on her face, Hazel and Piper grinning like mad fools and Will, he was plain out doing a victory dance but that isn't what she noticed. She saw the phone in Thalia's hand as she chuckled before putting her phone away.

Annabeth's phone buzzed in her breast pocket and she pulled it out, hearing various message tones in the hallways as she opened up her alerts bar, her eyes widening when she saw that a video of her and Percy had been posted on the school website. she looked up to scold Thalia but she had vanished and her eyes bugged out when she heard Thalia speaking through the school intercom system, "All the buggers who bet against me, pay up cause Percy Jackson is officially off the market for the Halloween Dance. Annabeth Chase is going to the dance with Percy Jackson bitches."

Annabeth had never felt so mortified in her entire life as she stared at Thalia who appeared out the room where the speaker system and microphone were with a gigantic smirk on her face as she wrapped and arm around her shoulders, "Why did you do that?!" Annabeth said, lowering her head slightly so they couldn't see her flushed face.

"Because I love seeing you look like this and I wanted to be the one to share it so I'd get paid. It would have been out by the end of the day, I just sped up the process for ya." Annabeth looked over at Piper, Hazel and Will who were talking animatedly before they turned their heads and smiled impishly at Annabeth who raised an eyebrow as Thalia spoke, "What you three talking bout?"

"Costume ideas for Annabeth now that she is going with Bad Boy Percy Jackson to the dance." They answered at the same time causing Annabeth's eyes to widen.

"I think we need to take her with us tomorrow to get constume measurements cause i think she needs a custom one done." Piper said as she made a frame with her hands, looking at Annabeth, mentally debating and deciding on a course of action. "Aha, I think I have the perfect idea." She chirped as she rushed forward, hooking her arm through Annabeth's, "Come on, we need to talk designs."

Annabeth paled at the idea as they were heading to the cafeteria and looked over at Thalia, Will and Hazel who chuckled at her mortified expression as they followed the bubbly girl to the cafeteria.
