Disclaimer for whole story: I DO NOT own any Percy Jackson and HoO characters. Okay let's get this show on the road!
(Also guys I didn't like the story in present-tense so I put it in past-tense for this chapter, I usually do past-tense)
The Year of Prom
Chapter 2- Aqua Grean
I was lost in his eyes. They were so unusual yet so perfect. Like the ocean with its strange creatures but it is so beautiful you have to visit it. To explore this colorful world. A beautiful world.
"Oh, sorry didn't see you there." Said the boy with the sea green eyes and raven hair.
"Me too, sorry, I was just lost in my thoughts." I replied
He picked up my books and handed them to me.
"Thanks," I said
"Hey."
"What?"
"You have me in almost all the classes."
He was holding the paper that showed the schedule.
"Can I see your schedule, please?" I said
"Sure."
And just when the schedule was in my hand that was when the bell rang.
"That's the bell. I got to go I really need the schedule, I'm new here." He said
"You're in ninth grade?"
"Tenth grade"
"Oh, well I can show you around the school."
"No it's okay my middle school friend Aqua is doing that for me. Thanks for the offer though"
"No proble- "
"Hi, hi!" Some girl sprinted over to us. She had brown hair with a purple streak in it, was wearing one of those shirts that look like a dress-which was purple. And purple jeans and purple platform heels. How can she run in that?!
"This is Aqua."
"Okay" I said
Immediately, felt a smidge of envy towards her. I shouldn't, but I did.
"You better go right now or you will be late and that's garbage duty." Aqua said.
I walked away and headed straight to mathematics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~line break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When mathematics class was over I went to my locker to exchange my math books for some English books and also novels.
Then I met up with my friends at the locker.
I saw them all of them chatting away. As I came closer, I became more aware about the topic- prom.
"-and I'm going with Jason." Piper said.
"Hey guys! What are you talking about?"
"Prom" they all said in unison.
"OK" I said
See, that's the most annoying thing about this school. Almost all the stuff I hear about is prom. PROM PROM PROM! I swear by the time I get out of high school I'll be going crazy. Don't get me wrong though, I'm excited. Although, I might not have a date this year.
"All of us-except Thalia- has a date already. I'm going with Jason, Grover with Juniper, and Leo with Calypso. Thalia's just waiting to ask Nico."Piper said.
"The Goth boy? Thalia, you didn't tell me you had a crush on him!"
"You never asked, and 'the Goth boy'? Don't call him that. That's mean."Thalia said.
"Yeah", added Leo, "He should be called the Bla-"
"Enough of your slightly races jokes, Leo." Piper interrupted.
Just then, the boy with the sea green eyes and the black hair walked up to us.
"Hey Percy," Grover said.
Percy so that's his name. It fits him so well.
"Is that short for something?" I said without thinking.
"Yeah. The name's Perseus, Perseus Jackson." Percy said. "But just call me Percy."
"I didn't know you were going to the school." Thalia said "At least give me a heads up so could I pretend I don't know you."
"You guys know each other?" I said.
"Yeah, we're cousins" they both said in unison.
"Thalia, you didn't tell me you guys were cousins."
"You didn't ask."
"I'm your best friend."
Thalia just simply shrugged.
"That's it. You. Me. Sleep over. Tonight."
"Okay. I'll tell you all the stuff I didn't tell you before, but you'll have to too."
"Sure, whatever."
Percy chuckled and whispered something about girls to Grover.
"Anyways" Thalia said. "Do you have anyone special in mind?"
"For what?" Percy stared at his cousin blankly.
"For the prom, Kelp head!"
"Oh. Well maybe I could take Aqua. We have been going to prom together since elementary school."
I suddenly felt like someone socked me in the stomach. Come on Annabeth, I thought. It's not like he's suddenly gonna decide on you! You don't even know him!
"Is she your girlfriend?" I inquired.
"No, she's my best friend." Percy answered
"Oh. Okay." I said nodding.
Yes! I thought. I immediately cursed myself for thinking like that. He's a complete stranger! I don't even know if he has a good personality! But you fell in love with his eyes. I thought, Some say eyes are the windows to the soul. There it is again! Why am I thinking like this!
That was when the bell rang. We all split up into our different directions. Me going to the bathroom and Percy going to the class I was supposed to be going to. Hey, I could just tell the teacher some excuse. Or if I don't think of a valid one, I'll just have to say I was seeing my period or whatever. I hate to freak out teachers like that, but it's better than garbage duty. Thank God I'm a girl.
Just then I was pinned against a wall by two football players and standing in front of me was Rachel Dare the rich head cheerleader.
"Hey Chase. See we didn't have trouble chasing you today." She and her goons laughed at her lame joke. Probably took her all month to come up with that one.
I rolled my eyes. "Rachel, what do you want?" I asked.
"Two words… Percy. Jackson."
Yeah, I know, I know. But I couldn't help myself! I needed to use a cliff hanger just for this chapter! I'm sorry (not really ;p)
