Hey, I'm back after like forever. :) I'm sorry that I took a break for so long, and I'm especially sorry if you didn't like the story. I honestly haven't had time to write much, but here's a short sudden chapter continuing from the last. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Percy Jackson and the Olympians belongs to Rick Riordan and him only.. not me (Thank god otherwise I would've ruined the whole popularity)
Annabeth POV
Well, I wouldn't say shut up exactly, more like restrained myself, because, even though I didn't happen to say anything mean like that, I still did say something, which kinda was mean. Just a bit! I mean, all I did was walk up, shout in his face, tell him that he was the biggest jerk that I'd ever known and that if he didn't shut up, I would be sure to tell his dad (who, btw, was like Hitler). That's all I did.. I didn't even pull his pants down or pull on his leg to trip him, even though it was super tempting.
Apparently though, I didn't even have to do any dirty work. Ms. Rusop, noticing all the commotion, came over, shot me a grateful look, and, turning to Ryan, put her mean face on. Raising her eyebrows, she looked up at him (He was standing on the caf. table, remember), and he immediately went red in the face and was about to jump down. Ms. Rusop stopped him, though.
"Oh, please don't make any notion of coming down NOW, Mr. Fletcher. You see, your courage is going to immediately disappear as soon as you are able to look me in the eye at an appropriate level, so I'd rather that you keep your self-esteem, stay up there, and reason with me like a man." (See what I mean about old fashioned?!)
I couldn't help it, I just had to butt in at this point. "You see, Ms. Rusop, he would only be able to fight like a man if he ever acted like one, which I've never seen, so it would be a good idea to let him fight like a girl, since he'll end up doing that anyway." I know, I was testing her… but he deserved it. Maybe I'd get away with it this time... maybe.
"Very well put, Miss Chase. I couldn't have said it better." The corners of her mouth twitched.
Bingo! Mission accomplished. In your face, Fletcher!
His face was really red now.. See, this is why you don't go for nerdy, but sassy, California girls. He didn't even know me; I had JUST moved to Manhattan! Actually, now that I think about it, nobody really knew me. They knew my name, sure, and the general facts, but.. I didn't really have any really good friends. Unlike good ol' CA, where I had Thals and Luke.
