Chapter 10: Just My Luck
Percy's POV
"Are you okay?" he asked, laying a hand on my shoulder.
I looked up into his eyes and said, "I don't know. You tell me Seaweed Brain."
A look of recognition crossed his face as he whispered, "Wise Girl?"
NOW:
When I looked into those calculating grey eyes I knew it was her. But what was she doing here?
"Wise Girl?" I repeated, a little louder this time. My face probably looked hilarious because Annabeth burst into fits of laughter. By now, we had almost the whole school looking at us, but I didn't care. I missed my Wise Girl too much. I grabbed her by the waist and crashed my lips onto hers.
Her lips tasted sweet, like strawberry Chap Stick and her hair smelt of lemon as always. The kiss wasn't long, but it was just as sweet and passionate. She pulled back and I heard a couple gasps from around me, but I didn't pay attention. My arms still around her waist, I spun her around, which resulted in more laughter.
As I put her down I realized how much I actually missed her. "What are you doing here? Not that I don't w-want you here but I was just wondering why you're here because you don't go to this school." I said a bit too quickly. "Not that I don't want you to come here. That would be awesome because I would get to see you every day."
She laughed. "Not just because you want me to do your homework?" she asked with a smirk.
I bent down, nuzzling my head into the crook of her neck. "No" I said, my voice muffled by her neck, "because I love you. But not having to do my homework would be a bonus."
"So" I said as I lifted my head up. "Why are you here?"
"Because I might have convinced my dad to let me stay here in an apartment to oversee the working on Olympus." She said as she turned around and started picking at her nails.
I wrapped my arms around her waist. "Is that the only reason?" I said with a smirk. She kept her eyes on her nails.
"No. I also need to be close to Camp."
"That's it?" I asked with fake hurt.
"That's it."
"What about me?" I asked.
"Oh. Oh yeah you too" She replied while turning around and putting her arms around my neck, "Definitely you." We both started to lean in, until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find Chris, my friend from swim team.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything but you guys are kinda causing a scene. The whole school is staring. If you didn't know. Oh and Percy? Would you mind introducing me and Zeke to your lady friend?" he asked as if he hadn't interrupted anything.
"Yeah I'd like to get to know her too." He said with a smirk. I looked down at Annabeth's flushed face. Anger started boiling inside me, but I pushed it down.
"Um…Zeke, Chris. This is Annabeth, my girlfriend." I answered.
Their chins were literally on the ground. No seriously. I think they fainted. "Zeke? Chris? Are you okay?"
"I can't believe I would live to see the day Percy Jackson actually got himself a girlfriend." Chris mumbled from the floor.
"Yeah, how much is he paying you? Jackson couldn't actually get a girl as pretty as you." Zeke asked while propping his head up with his elbows.
"They all thought you were fake." I whispered to Annabeth when I saw her confused expression. "I even showed them a bunch of pictures of you and me, but they were convinced I photo shopped them or something."
The warning bell rang. 5 minutes left until homeroom. Ughh. At least I have Paul for homeroom and English, too. He's pretty cool (and also my step-dad, but yeah still cool).
"C'mon Seaweed Brain. Let's head to class." Annabeth announced. So, we left the two boys lying there on the floor.
"Seaweed Brain?" Zeke called after us.
Without bothering turning around, I yelled, "Long story!" Annabeth and I just laughed.
(THIS IS A LINE BREAK. SAY HELLO TO THE LINE BREAK)
Turns out Annabeth had homeroom (Paul was as shocked that Annabeth was here as I was), math, english, American history, and P.E. with me. That means three classes without Annabeth. How did I survive half a month away from her anyway?
American history had just ended and I had fallen asleep…AGAIN. Annabeth had to wake me up. She looked at me with a disappointed look. "How are you going to learn if you don't at least stay awake during classes? Gods Percy! What about college? How are you going to be able to pay for yourself if you don't have a good job? With your good looks?" She had her hands on her hips, eyes glaring daggers at me.
"Nah." I answered, "Yours will cover it." She blushed.
"Stop it. Let's just get to lunch." She said a walked away glancing behind at me. "Let's go…NOW! I would like to not starve myself waiting on you." I laughed but followed her. As we were walking out of the hallway door, a shadow stepped in front of Annabeth.
"What's a pretty thing like you doing with some punk like Jackson?" he asked. I knew that voice. It belonged to Steven, the school's playboy (with one girl one week, another the next).
"One, Percy is not a punk. Two, he also happens to be my boyfriend. And three, leave me alone or I will kill you." Annabeth retorted.
"OH. I've always liked myself a feisty one. How about you and me go to a movie sometime? Maybe Friday?" Steven asked. Could this guy not take a hint?
To keep myself from ripping this guy in two, I gritted my teeth and said, "Steven leave me and Annabeth alone or I swear…" I let that threat hang in the air. Steven seemed to hesitate.
"C'mon Annabeth," I said as I steered her toward the cafeteria. "He's not worth it." As we continued walking under the shady trees, Annabeth stopped, causing me to halt because of our intertwined hands. She slid her arms around my neck and into my hair, softly nuzzling it with her fingers. As if reflexively, my arms circled her waist.
"I love you" she said.
"I love you too" We both leaned in.
…
Let's just say we missed the rest of the school day.
