Chapter 2: ArchEnemies
Hey guys, a few of you wanted me to update. I was going to post this chapter about a week after I posted the first chapter but I didn't because I didn't have time. Here it is, 1 year late...but its better, I re-edited it and made it longer. Review plz.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT THERE?" I asked screaming on the top of my lungs, getting a few looks from others.
"Marine biology isn't in here." Annabeth answered I can hear the sadness in her voice.
"Does this mean that we need to find a different college?" I said.
"I guess so, but do you want to be with me." Giving me that pouty face that I just find dam cute and sexy.
"Nah I think I'll find a different girl to date in college. Your bossing is getting boring. I'm too good to be with you, my dad is one of the Big Three" I said and walked away teasing her.
"Yeah, like being with you is exciting, your body is getting boring to look at. I need a hotter man in my life with a more hot body." She shot back.
"Hey what does that mean, I go to the gym three times a week and swim for an hour every day." I defended.
Annabeth just laughed and we both walked over to Ms. Pastry. As I was walking I looked turned to my side and found Calyspo in the room, she smiled at me. I smiled back at her. Calyspo is a very quiet and shy girl. She's little smaller than Annabeth but there was something about her that made her really nice. Annabeth says that she has a major crush on me but I don't think that its true at all, Calyspo is just really nice to everybody. Calyspo moved to the school last year and I was in charge of showing her around. Annabeth gets jealous when I have a conversation with Calyspo, not even a smile is permitted so I always keep it on the low. Annabeth's face turns bright red like a tomato that is going to explode. Oh, it's a sight to see.
"Hello Ms. Pastry, Annabeth and I are looking for a college that has Architecture and Marine Biology." I said.
"Well can't you see I'm busy reading this book it's getting good and I don't want any interruptions" She said annoyingly.
I moved Annabeth over a few steps and whispered, "Ugh, why is she such a bitch. If she doesn't like kids then why is she a teacher. I'm going to give her a taste of her own medicine."
Just when I was about to go and bang my hand on the table and give her just what she needed Annabeth grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"We just need a little help." Annabeth said a little ashamed.
"I said that I'm in the middle of my book, go ask Ms. Flower and don't disturb me anymore." Ms. Pastry said.
"Aren't pastries suppose to be sweet?" I whispered to Annabeth, who was smirking but was holding it in.
"Excuse me, what did you just say?" Ms. Pastry said with a side of attitude.
"Percy, she not worth it." Annabeth whispering to me trying to calm me down.
"Well young man do you need a detention to stop that smack talk." Ms. Pastry said.
I kept quiet.
"Good, now do what I said and go over to Ms. Flower." Ms. Pastry said, immediately returning to her book.
Annabeth grabbed me and dragged me over to the other side of the room.
"Never say that in front of her, she is the chairman of the teachers association and she can give you a bad rep." Annabeth said.
"Hey it made you laugh. It doesn't matter about my rep anymore cause were seniors." I replied.
"Just don't do that again, seriously I feel like I'm babysitting my boyfriend." She said.
I sticked my face out and said "I have a boo-boo, are you going to kiss it."
Annabeth slapped me instead, "Yeah, kiss my ass, your not getting a kiss that easy."
"I would kiss your ass." I exclaimed excitedly.
"Percy not here." Annabeth blushed and we both walked over to Ms. Flower
"Hi Ms. Flower, Percy and I are looking for a college that has both of our majors." Annabeth said.
"What are your majors?" Ms. Flower asked.
"I'm interested in Architecture and Engineering and he is interested in Marine Biology." Annabeth said.
"Hmm, I don't know a lot on the top of my head but I can show you some." Ms. Flower offered.
She walked us over to the major side. I noticed that she couldn't find what she was looking for and she kept walking back and forth. Finally she found the book and it was titled Boston University.
"I know that Architecture is in there but I don't know for sure that his choices are in there. I'll look for some other colleges for you too. Do you guys know what region you would like to be in, in state out of state? Ms. Flower said.
Annabeth and I turned to each other. We haven't discussed it yet, we wanted to go to NYU but that option is ruled out. We agreed that we both wanted to go to the same college. I wanted to stay in state so I can be near Camp-Half Blood and my parents. Chiron always has me on speed dial when there is trouble at camp.
Annabeth's POV
I'm so nervous. I know that there will be colleges that have both of our majors but what if there isn't. I love Percy a lot and I don't really show him or tell him that often because I'm a tough girl. I sat down and opened the book with Percy. I scrolled over to the A section and found Architecture and then scrolled over to the M section and then looked again but I didn't find Marine Biology. I guess Percy found out and asked.
"Not in there." Percy said.
"Yeah." I said.
"The bell is going to ring soon so pack up everybody." Ms. Flower said.
Percy and I packed our stuff and then walked out. The whole day went by slowly. Percy drove us back home and Percy stayed at my house for a while to have dinner. My dad noticed that we were both quiet. And when we were quiet it meant that something was wrong. My dad liked Percy and he allowed my relationship with him. I've dated a handful of boys and they all got rejected. He would say, "No, he looks like you just got him off the street." "His a bad boy, he's going to have a bad influence on daddy's little girl." Finally when Percy came along, he said "Hmmm, good-looking young man, I'll give him a chance." And Percy won him over. It's pretty weird how they bond.
"What's going on?" My dad asked.
"We looked at colleges today and we weren't able to find a college that had both of our majors." I said.
"Oh don't worry you will find one." My dad said trying to comfort us.
"Can we go up to our room?" I said.
"Yeah." My dad said.
We both walked up to my room. And we sat down on my bed.
"It's ok babe, we still have a while till the due date of the applications." Percy said.
I know it was getting late so I told Percy to go home. He offered to sleep over but I said its ok. I walked him out to his car and watch him drive away. I know I'm being a little dramatic but I can't help it. Percy is my everything. I went and took a shower and decided to just go to sleep.
I met my mother in my dreams. As I look around we were situated in a forest, with a waterfall running from the top of a mountain to the bottom of the mountain. My mother was sitting on a rock, wearing a light brown dress. My dress was embroidered with bright colors and flowers. It was quiet, the only sounds were the birds chirping in the distance. It felt so peaceful until my mother started speaking.
"So my dear daughter Annabeth, it seems like you have found a road block in your little relationship with Perseous Jackson son of Poseidon." Athena. the Goddess of Wisdom pronounced loudly.
"Oh, we will overcome this, our bond is very special. And can you please speak to me a little more softly, I am your daughter." I said and smiled.
"Darling, there is nothing special about you and Percy." Athena rumbled.
"Mother can't you accept
"Don't you understand this is a sign, the fates have sent a message to tell you that it isn't meant to be. I tried to warn you my daughter but you didn't listen. Of course you were in love." Athena explained.
"That is not true!" I yelled throwing the thought behind my head.
"You know its true Annabeth, your just too strong to admit to it. Thank you fates for making this happen I do not want a son-in law from that old rag Poseidon." Athena said.
I woke up with a bam. Sweaty and shaky. Athena was right I did have second thoughs about my relationship with Percy.
So what did you guys think? It is 1 year late but I think its better. Review Plz.
