-Silence-
Percy's POV
I began jogging home after saying bye to my now most beautiful girlfriend in the whole, wide, world. I had a thing for her since the day we met, the first day of seventh grade. I could tell she really didn't fit in with the rest of the teen population and likewise, I didn't either but everybody wanted to be my friend from day 1. Everyone. I just attracted people and I couldn't say I liked it much. Except for when I had attracted Annabeth. Me and her, we had something going. She would make me laugh and then I would make her crack up. I loved her laugh. It was by far the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. When we began a conversation we wouldn't even greet each other; we just began talking. We could talk for hours on end and we once did until my mom caught me awake, at one o'clock in the morning on a school night. It was about time I asked her out. The reason I hadn't done it earlier was the fear of rejection. I didn't really know if she felt the same way about me. I guess I was stupid to not notice that she had fallen for me as easy as I had fallen for her.
"Percy where were you?"
My mom didn't look pleased. She looked angry but at the same time relieved to see me.
"At Annabeth's, mom. Remember I told you….."
"What took you so long?"
I was lost at words.
"Percy?"
"I'm sleepy mom. Please can I just go to bed?" I pleaded. She looked beyond tired. She worked hard to keep us with a roof over our heads, food on our table, and hot running water in our bathroom. I knew she would give in.
She sighed. "Ok Percy,"
She walked over and hugged me.
"I love you,"
"Love you too mom."
"Now go to bed."
It was Monday, tomorrow was Tuesday. I groaned. More school. Why was there school when my life was complete with Annabeth? In the morning my mom would leave early to go to her job at the World Trade Center as always. I would get up, take a long shower, change, and take the subway to school. It was going to be another boring, typical day. I wasn't going to like it.
Annabeth's POV
My alarm clock began to ring. I groaned; it was five o'clock. Rubbing my eyes, I grabbed my clothes for school. I walked down the quiet hall in mine and my brother's small apartment. You see, my mom left when I was born leaving me and my older brother Tony with our dad. A year after Tony graduated from college my dad died in a car accident. Now we lived alone, together. My brother was 25 and part of the NY fire department; he was the bravest person I had ever known. He was saving other people's lives every day while putting his own life on the line. I loved him so much. I can't say I never got worried every time he went to work. I got worried SICK every time he walked out the door. I quietly opened the door to his room, where the bathroom was located. He was lying on his bed, chest down, one arm over the edge, snoring softly. I giggled softly and tip toed to the bathroom. Tony asleep was probably the most interesting thing I'd see all day. I love school, don't get me wrong, but it's pretty much a drag when you know about everything the teachers are talking about. I turned on the water and steam began pouring out. I just couldn't wait to see Percy.
"Good morning sunshine,"
Tony was making breakfast in the kitchen when I came in. He looked captivating in his faded jeans and a thin shirt showing off his firefighter muscles. He had the day off today; one less thing for me to worry about.
"Heyy," I hugged him tightly.
"It's 6:30, Annabeth. You took a heck long of a time in the bathroom so eat up!"
I giggled as he passed me some of his delicious pancakes. My brother was brave, kind, a cook, adorable, and a beautiful person inside and out. He was the total package.
The reason I had taken so long in the bathroom was because I wanted to look good for Percy. I never really bothered with looks,
as long as I looked ok I was fine. But today I had worn a pair of skinny jeans that I had in the back of my closet and a cute plaid shirt with my regular old' Converse. This was above and beyond for me. Maybe not for the snobby, rich people at my high school but for me, I liked the way I looked now. I was a 10th grader and I didn't care much for skinny jeans. Shows you how mental I am, if that's what I am. I know I'm different, after all I have ADHD and dyslexia but I'm still the top of my class. And I like being different. I embrace my differences because that's what makes me unique.
Tony took the subway with me down to my high school, Stuyvesant. Stuyvesant was awesome and they majored in mathematics and science. I didn't really have that much of a liking for science but I was a math whiz. I searched around for Percy and spotted him laughing with his buddies. I had to get over their ASAP.
"I love you Annabeth,"
"Love you too,"
I hugged him, pecked him on the cheek, and rushed towards Percy. I could tell Tony was going to say something but I left him in the dust. After all, I'd see him this afternoon, right?
I'm done! :D Like it? Love it? Can you tell how clueless the two lovebirds are? Can you predict what's gonna happen? :O I hope not! Teehee. As always, RIP all the innocent people that died on 9/11. I watched the tribute and I swear I could not stop crying. The tears just kept on coming. I cant even imagine how the families that lost members that day must have felt. I just can't imagine. Thank you for reading! R&R!
