(A/N: 2 posts in one day, I guess I'm on a roll :) Any way, this is my 1st fanfiction so I know it's not my best. BTW if anyone is actually reading this, be free to give me any comments or improvements thanx :) )
Percy POV
My week has not going well at all. Ever since Annabeth and I got out of Tartarus, sleep is not very common. We both have horrible nightmares and sometimes we have these "phases" where we feel as if we were still in the pits of monster hell. The only reason i made it through the summer after the war was because Annabeth was there to calm me down, but this first week of school, the only one who can calm me down halfway is my mom since Annabeth is at school. I feel horrible for her because her nightmares are usually worse than mine. She not only went through hell, but also had to face her greatest fear: the spider-monster-evil-lady. And because her nightmares are worse, she wakes up screaming... apparently it got so bad that the school had to place her in a dorm by herself since nobody wanted to sleep with her. At least at Goode I have some friends... granted that they still do not believe that Annabeth is actually my girlfriend, but friends are friends.
But, when Annabeth walked in the door, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. When my mom saw her, she too gave Annabeth a hug then she walked us into the kitchen where Paul was.
"So, Annabeth what brings you here?" My mom asks.
"I was at my boarding school when-"
"The 'headmaster' was being a meanie and expelled her," I was very proud of being able to finish her sentence ... That is, untill I found out that it earned me a punch on the shoulder.
"Have you figured out what you're going to do?" Paul asked
"I don't really know what I'm going to do, I mean there are no other boarding schools in New York and I don't have any relatives that live here so I think I'm going to go to camp half-blood for the rest of the year until I plan something out. Also I was wondering if I could maybe spend the night here?"
"Oh of course you can stay here! Give Percy your bags he will put them away, oh and let me go make you a sandwich, you're probably really hungry."
"I'm hungry too, and I will be starving after bringing Annabeth's bags to the room!" These actions are what Annabeth likes to call a "seaweed brain" moment and I'm very proud of them, but hey, a sandwich is a sandwich.
After a long, hard walk to the hall way I stop and asked, "Hey wise girl, which room do you want to sleep in, mmm?"
"Whichever is more convenient for you seaweed brain."
"Okay then!" I walk straight into my room and drop her bags onto my bed, I turn to see Annabeth and find that she looks genuinely concerned.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing really, it's just that I was wondering how your nightmares are. I mean, I can barely handle mine when I'm not with you and yours were always so bad and…." She left the sentence hanging, not wanting to explain further.
"I guess the only reason I can actually handle then is because my mom helps me through them."
"Oh. I wish … never mind."
"What?"
"Nothing. It was a silly idea."
"Come on you can tell me, please," I gave her my beast puppy dog face, hopping she would fall for it," Pretty please."
"I was just thinking how much better it would be if I stayed here, with you."
"OH MY GODS, what if you can?! You could even go to Goode with me!"
"It would even help our nightmares and 'phases', but I don't want to be a bother, and-"
Before she could say anything else, I ran downstairs straight to the Kitchen where my mom was making sandwiches. I quickly told her my idea, followed by my famous puppy eyes.
"Percy, honey that would be great! I would love another girl in the house, and it would help your situation, maybe you too could finally get some sleep, what do you think Paul?"
"As long as you are okay with it, I'm fine. Annabeth is a good girl, it'll be nice to have her around," he responded.
"She can sleep in my room!" I yelled then added, "if it's okay with you mom." A look of understanding passed between my mom and Paul. I could tell they know it's only because it would help us.
"It's fine with us honey." She turned to Paul and said, "You can get an application right?"
"Yep, I think I have one in my bag," When he left to check, I did a mental happy dance thinking it was going to be the best year ever.
"Here you go wise girl, one Goode High application packet," I said.
"Percy why would you do that, that was very un- wait, they said yes?" I nodded my head eagerly hopping she would be okay with it.
"Percy that's wonderful, it's going to be so much fun to be able to embarrass you in front of all your friends!" Oh great what did I get myself into
