Chapter 2
Okay guys sorry it took so long to get the first chapter up. I ended up forgetting a step to publish the chapter and it would not post completely. Again so sorry for that, I know how to do it correctly now. So it should not happen again. ANYWAY… here's chapter 2.
**Disclaimer: I own nothing, everything belongs to Uncle Rick**
Percy knew that he should be paying attentionto the class, but he really just wanted to get out. He knew that the pool would be open, and that no one was going to be there today. He could just swim for as long as he wanted and didn't have to worry about how he swam. Percy had drifted off into what he would do at the pool, he hadn't noticed that he had begun his little day dream he had been staring at a girl. She looked vaguely familiar, like he had seen her somewhere. Then it hit him, or more like hit her. She was the one that he had bumped into, the one with all the books. She golden hair had gotten out of it's pony tail and was now falling around her shoulder. Her head was down she was looking at a book laid out on her desk. She must be really into books. He thought remembering all the books she had dropped when he had bumped into her.
I should probably apologize. But she doesn't know me, she may not even remember me. I don't want to scare her. She will forget about it, she won't even mind. He thought. He was still looking at her when she suddenly raised her head. She looked him in the eyes, not one second later she looked back down her face turning a shade of pink. Percy smiled to himself, he loved knowing he could make every girl blush. He turned in his chair to look at the clock. Twelve more minutes he would be able to leave. Percy looked back at the teacher to see if had anything important to say. Just in time to hear him say the thing he dreaded to hear. They would have to be making a project, and they would be assigned partners. He looked around to see who he wouldn't mind being partners with, there was Nico his gothic cousin, Nico's boyfriend Will, wouldn't be bad, there was Grover who he had known all his life, his girlfriend Rachel Dare. He really did not want to be stuck with anyone else. "Okay I will now start announcing the groups. Rachel with Thalia" he said. Thalia was also his cousin, she was Nico's sister. Her and Nico were both very similar, they were both gothic and both hated Rachel. "Will with Grover, Nico with Jason, Piper with Hazel, Luke" he began. He looked at the blond girl out of the corner of his eye, her face had gone white as if she had seen a ghost. "with Frank" he finished. "And Percy with Annabeth."
Annabeth? Who is Annabeth? Percy looked around to see if it was someone he had talked to before. Then he saw the curly blond girl look at him with the sad gray eyes he saw earlier. What was he supposed to do? He had never talked to her, let alone the encounter they had that morning. Was he supposed to apologize? He would think this over later, he didn't want to think about this now he just wanted school to be over so he could go swimming for hours. Just as Percy was turning to look at the clock the bell had rung. Percy grabbed his stuff and went to his locker to get his remaining book. While he was gathering his books the girl; no Annabeth, walked up to him. She looked scared. When she was in front of him she opened her mouth, nothing came out. She closed it again. The second time she opened her mouth words actually came out. As well as a piece of paper being handed to him. "You… you left so fast that you didn't get a paper he handed out, so I… I… he told me to give it to you." As she said this she shoved the paper in his chest, her fingers lightly pressing his shirt. "So here you go." She went off clutching the books in her arms as she left. Percy shoved the paper in his bag and headed for the pool's locker rooms.
He could just feel the water on his skin being able to swim for hours and hours on end. Percy came out of the locker room, dropped his towel on one of the benches not looking around to see if anyone was there and jumped into the pool. The water surrounded him in an instant, he stayed underwater for a bit longer to let the water soak him. As he came to breach the water he took in a large breath. He decided to look around, and on one of the benches was Annabeth. The girl that kept coming back to him no matter how much they avoided each other. Well I might as well get to know her, we will have to be spending a lot of time together if we want to get this done. Percy slipped under the water taking a large breath, and began to swim towards Annabeth.
Okay guys I know that I left it there, the next one will be about what happens when he comes out of the water. REVIEW! Also if I could as a question really quick, I have been told it would be good to get a beta, but because I am new in the writing department I was wondering if any of you could tell me how. Anyway thanks for reading!
