Author's note: I would like to thank everyone who reviewed for my first chapter. I would especially like to thank Mr. Invincible for helping me improve my story. I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Enjoy Chapter 2!
Scarlett POV.
I saw Chelsea walk away from Percy and Blondie. If I could get her help, I could break Percy and Annabelle up! Percy would never go for Chelsea, so he'll have to go for me. I mean, come on! Everyone who had a brain would know we were the best couple ever! As I sat down next to Percy, I could feel him scooting closer to his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend. I didn't try to scoot closer, because I didn't want to look desperate. Annabelle said she forgot something in her locker and went away, even after Percy made his baby seal face! She does NOT know how adorable Percy is! He is a cute, funny, and nice boy who has an arrogant girlfriend. Sure, she was smart, but she acts so arrogant. Like today, before I knew she was dating the boy of my dreams.
In math today, the teacher wrote an equation on the board. Annabelle raised her hand.
"Mr. Lour, that equation is wrong. The one at the end is supposed to be a four," she said with a confident face.
That girl should have kept her mouth shut! The teacher is ALWAYS right, no matter what. Mr. Lour looked at the equation again.
"Are you sure, Ms. Chase? I can't find anything wrong. Come to the front of the classroom and show us how YOU did it," Mr. Lour said with a sly smile.
He was planning on embarrassing her! At the time, I felt sorry for her. She went up to the board and showed us how she did it. Mr. Lour didn't say anything about her making a mistake. Then, Mr. Lour showed how he did it.
"Mr. Lour, 43-82 is not -38, it's -39," Annabeth said with her arms cross.
Mr. Lour grabbed a calculator. His faced turned from annoyed to "OH MY GOD, I AM SO STUPID!" He quietly changed the equation. I was shocked as well as the rest of the class. It was silent for two minutes. Then, while Annabeth was walking back to her seat, the class cheered and whistled.
"WE'VE OUTSMARTED A TEACHER!"
"GO ANNABETH!"
"Hot and smart, wanna go out sometime?" asked Chase, the school jock. He wasn't a playboy, but he broke girls' hearts by turning them for a date. He was just like Percy, only not as handsome and not as nice. While Annabeth passed by his desk, she glared at him and Chase shrank in his seat. 4
While I was daydreaming about what happened in math, I saw the witch bump into Clair, a girl from my science class. Wow, Annabelle should watch where she's going! Clair and she talked for a while, then Annabeth walked to us. She whispered something into Percy's ear and he nodded and kissed her. The sight tore my heart. Then, I noticed that Blondie was walking towards Clair's table.
Annabeth POV.
As I walked to Percy's table, I bumped into someone and spilled her coffee.
"OH MY GODS! I am sooooooooo sorry. Let buy another cup of coffee I insist. I'm Annabeth Chase by the way."
"It's all right. I'm Clair, and you don't have to buy me another coffee," Clair said. Clair was also a blonde. She had bright green eyes that reminded me of Rachel. She looked like the typical nerd with her big glasses, but who cared about appearances anyway?
"I insist on buying another coffee for you! I spilled it, and I'll feel really guilty about it!"
"It was an accident. You don't have to buy another one for me! Want to sit with me and my friends?" she said.
"Sure! I'll tell my boyfriend," I replied as I walked to Percy.
I noticed Scarlett glaring at me, but I wasn't intimidated. I felt sorry for her. I would be jealous too if my crush suddenly had a girlfriend. I hoped it would pass, though. I didn't want enemies in high school.
"I'm going to sit with Clair. Okay? You do want me to make new friends, right?" I whispered in his ear.
Seaweed Brain nodded at me and gave me a quick kiss. I walked away and headed for Clair's table. She was sitting with one boy and two more girls. Clair turned to me.
"Hey Annabeth! This is Cecilia," Clair pointed to the girl with red hair and emerald eyes," that's Madeleine," she pointed to the girl with black hair and warm, brown eyes," and that's Madeleine's boyfriend, Joshua," Clair pointed to the guy. Joshua had brown hair and dark brown eyes.
"Everyone, this is Annabeth!" Clair told all of her friends.
I was greeted with some hi's and Sup's. I sat down between Clair and Cecilia.
"So, Annabeth, do you have a boyfriend?" Madeleine asked me.
"Yeah"
"What's his name? Maybe we know him!" Clair said.
"Percy Jackson." I figured they didn't see the commotion. After I said his name, they all groaned and looked annoyed. Cecilia spoke up.
"Does she have to sit here? I don't like people who claim there're someone's girlfriend when they haven't even met." I was about to tell her I was real when Joshua interrupted me.
"Jackson could do a lot better. And besides, Scarlett and Percy both like each other."
That sentence hit me hard. Of course Percy was better than me. He could do a lot better. And if part of the school population thought he and Scarlett made a good couple, they were probably right. Sure he looked happy with me, but he could be happier with someone else⦠someone better than me. Scarlett was mortal. So Percy wouldn't have to protect her or be worried about her. Tears started.
"Guys, stop. She's crying," Clair said.
I rushed to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. I decided to leave my hands up to the fates. I took out a coin I had in my pocket. I flipped it. Heads, I would stay with Percy. Tails, I'll break up with him and convince him to fall in love with Scarlett. The coin landed in my hand. I looked down at it. I sighed. I wiped away my tears and walked out of the girls' bathroom. There, Percy's worried eyes met mine.
"Wise Girl, or you okay? I saw you run into the bathroom crying," he said, his voice filled with worry.
I looked him in the eye.
"Percy, I want to break up"
Dont't Worry! This is a percabeth story! They won't be apart forever!
