Greetings! Hello! Bonjour! im not french. Anyway. Wazzup? Welcome to my story. You can review if you would like, any criticism (good or bad) is okay! Anyway, ONWARD! p.s I did not do this on the first chapter because i did not really know what i was doing. Sooo...Yeah.
"Percy!" I exclaimed.
"Annabeth, what are you doing here?!" He says while embracing me.
"To learn of course!"
"But, in New York?" Then he adds quietly, "Why aren't you at camp?"
"Because...reasons. I'll explain later. But, now I have to get to class!"
"Oh right! What class do you have?" He asks as we walk together, hand in hand.
"Well, let me see," I say, reaching into the back pocket of my jeans for my schedule. "Second period, I have Math!"
"Me too!"
We continue along until we reach our class. We are the last ones to arrive, when we walk in everyone turns to look at us, then at our entwined hands. I see Massie looking at me menacingly, like i have such a nerve to have a boyfriend.
"Oh, Hello!" My teacher looks at me. "Hello Percy, Hello...?"
"Annabeth." I provide.
"Hello Annabeth! Welcome to Goode! My name is Mrs. Chong!"
"Hi there!"
"Take a seat Annabeth, you seem to know Percy, so, we can have you switch seats with Massie, and sit beside him."
I look to see Percy sigh with relief. He must not like her anymore than i do. We manage to get through another easy math lesson well easy for me anyway.
When we are leaving the class, i ask Percy, "Do you have lunch now?"
"I do, in fact!" He says enthusiastically. Wow, what has gotten into him?
"Percy are you ok?"
"Yep! I am fine! Everything is just fine, isn't it?" I stop and turn him around. I look him in the eye and see his eyes have clouded over. As if he is in a different world. Oh no. After Tartarus, I knew we wouldn't be the same, Percy and I. Maybe together, but apart we were...different. Sometimes, something would trigger his memory, and he would have an episode (as i had started to call them). He would just almost black out, he would seem very happy, but then just as soon, break. I knew what was coming. since we were surrounded by students heading to the cafeteria, i walked with Percy to an empty staircase.
"Percy, Listen to me, we are safe. I am safe. You are safe. We're together and that is all that matters." I say soothingly. He just stares at me blankly. Although these episodes have happened often, i have never once seen Percy cry.
"But it's not, it will not ever be okay." He say quietly.
"Percy, We are together, everything will be fine." I hug him tightly and we stay that way for a couple seconds. Percy's head in his hands, my arm around him. After a couple of minutes, he sits up.
"Annabeth?" I hear him mumble. When i look at him, his face floods with relief, and then a look of guilt crosses his face. "Sorry." He mumbles.
"Percy, Why are you sorry?!" I say firmly, but also gently. "You have nothing to be sorry for. It happens to the best of us. Even the very best." I smile at him knowingly.
"Could we eat lunch out here? I kind of don't have anyone to sit with."
"What about your friends from when you were on the swim team?" I ask. I was very angry to hear he was on the swim team, learning that he probably cheated. But he is not on it anymore, after he, you know disappeared.
"Well, turns out they made better friends." He says sadly.
"Oh. Well, I'm sorry about that. Let's go buy some Lunch and we can eat outside. It is a beautiful day!"
"OK thanks Annabeth. And its OK, I'm used to it."
As we are walking towards the Cafeteria, Percy looks at me, "Did i tell you i loved you today?"
"You know what, I don't think you did!" I say, pretending to be hurt.
"OK, well then, I love you Annabeth."
"I love you too Seaweed Brain."
Yay! Chapta two girl! (or boy, depending on who is reading this) Bye! I will see you soon. or talk to you, or write you? okay bye.
