Hey guys, Chapter 2 is up!
No, it's not so long, so sorry. But don't worry, I'll try to make it longer on the next chapter. Or the one after that.
So I'm gonna thanks everybody who review, favorite, and/or alert my story, and also thanks for pointing the space, grammatical, and other kinds of errors in the first chapter. I've fixed it, so... yeah.
Well, and just to clear things out, I know this is similar to "I Think I Love My Tutor." But then again, I'll write this as original I can do.
So without further a do, here's chapter two!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO. A genius named Rick Riordan do.
WARNING: May contain some OOC-ness
I should really start with the story.
"Him?"
Annabeth looked at Percy, then back to Mrs. Dodds. "You mean I have to tutor him?"
"Yes," Mrs. Dodds said calmly.
Anabeth looked at Percy again. "HIM?"
"Yes Annabeth, him."
"Whoa- Wait a sec," Percy said. "She's going to tutor ME?"
"Yes Mr. Jackson," Mrs. Dodds impatiently. "Now, be quite both of you and let me explained."
"Fine," Annabeth murmured.
Percy let out a groan. "Whatever," he said. He took a seat and huffed.
"Good," Mrs. Dodds said and took a seat. "Now, where were you Mr. Jackson?"
She turned to Percy. "I said you have to get here right after the bell rang. Yet, it took you," Mrs. Dodds paused and glanced at her watch. "Thirty minutes to get here. Now," Mrs. Dodds squinted her eyes at Percy. "Where were you?"
Percy gulped. He didn't know what to say. After the bell rang, he tried to sneak out. But he was busted by Mr. Blofis, his English teacher and his mother's best friend. After a long lecture, he was sent to Mrs. Dodds' room.
"I was, um, in the bathroom," he lied.
Mrs. Dodds raised her eyebrow suspiciously. 'The bathroom?"
Percy nodded. Mrs Dodds sighed. "Very well then," she said. "So, as you know, you are failing in math," she said to Percy. "I have talked to your parents. They have agreed that you need a tutor."
"And since Annabeth is the best student," she continued. Percy rolled his eyes. Mrs. Dodds didn't called Annabeth with her last name. 'Teacher's pet', he thought. "I asked her to tutor you, and she had agree"
"Actually Mrs. Dodds, I'll take my words back," Annabeth said.
"Why?"
"Well, it's just that Percy and I have some," she glared at Percy. "We have some issues."
"Oh," Mrs. Dodds said. "Are you sure?"
"Well," she hesitated. She really don't want to do it. But then, maybe with this tutoring business, she doesn't have to work on weekends at Pizza Club and wash dirty dishes. Maybe she can add it to her collage appliance, although she was still in freshman year. But hey, there's nothing wrong with it right? Beside, her mother will be so proud of her.
"Actually, I'll take the offer. But I think I can't do it for free. I mean, I'll count this as side job," she said.
Mrs. Dodds raised her eyebrow. "Okay. You can bargained for the price with the Jacksons."
"Whoa, hold on!"
Both Mrs. Dodds and Annabeth looked at Percy. "I don't want to be tutor by her!"
"Mr. Jackson," Mrs. Dodds snapped. "The final test is in 3 weeks. You have to get a good score in this test, or else, you have to repeat this class.'
Percy's eyes widened. He hates math and he hates Mrs. Dodds as well. He can't stand another year of Mrs. Dodds' math class. Beside, what about his mother? She has been working hard to raise Percy all by herself, since his Dad is working as a marine biologist in Florida. His mother had a lot of pressure. He doesn't want to add her problem.
Percy hesitated for a while. Then he sighed. "Fine, I'll do it."
'For my mom's sake,' he thought.
Mrs. Dodds nodded. "Good," she said. "Mr. Jackson, you will have your tutor every Wednesday in the library. But you can do a session more than once a week.," she said.
'Not gonna happned,' Percy thought, rolling his eyes.
"And Annabeth," she looked at Annabeth. "You will report to me every Friday," she said. "Tell me whether he's getting better or not."
"Okay," Annabeth said.
"Now, Mrs. Jackson wants you to start tomorrow," she continued.
"But tomorrow is Tuesday," Percy protested. "I have swim team practice!"
Mrs. Dodds glared at him. "It's your mother request," she said. "Beside, I'm sure Coach Hedge won't mind about your absence, would he?"
"Fine," he murmured.
Mrs. Dodds nodded. "Good. You are dismissed."
Both Annabeth and Percy stood up and walked to the door. "See you tomorrow, nerd," Percy hissed.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Whatever, airhead."
With that, she stormed off.
Rachel was sitting lazily on the sofa. It was another boring day at her penthouse: Rachel all alone in the house, with her personal maid, doing pretty much nothing. Just a typical day. Or at least, she thought it was.
Rachel was sketching when the doorman told her there was a guess. She assumed that it was only the mailman, so she told him to send her up. Three minutes late, the lift door was opened and Annabeth stood in the lift.
Rachel's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh, Annabeth what are you doing here?"
Annabeth was about to answer it, but Rachel cut her off. "Won't your parents kill you if they know you're not home?"
Annabeth sighed. " No, I told them, I'm doing my homework in your house," she said. Rachel was about to ask another question when Annabeth cut her off. "I'll explained later. But now, can we get to your room?"
"Sure," Rachel said, nodding. They both walked and went inside Rachel's room.
They both sat on the bed. "So what is it? How's your talk with Mrs. Dodds?"
Annabeth sighed. "Not good at all," she said. She started to explain about her talk with Mrs. Dodds and about her have to tutor Percy. When she finished, Rachel's mouth hung opened.
"Wow," Rachel said. "You," she pointed at Annabeth. "Have to tutor the most popular, yet the most annoying boy in the whole school?"
"Well, it's actually the whole universe," Annabeth said. Rachel raised her eyebrow. "But that doesn't matter," Annabeth continued. "How can I tutor somebody as annoying as him?"
Suddenly, Annabeth's phone rang. She looked at the screen, raising her eyebrow. Then she picked it up. "Hello? Mrs. Jackson? Well hi."
Annabeth mouthed to Rachel. 'it's her mom. 'Go talk to her', Rachel mouthed back. Annabeth nodded and went to Rachel's bathroom.
Rachel sat there, wondering what to do while she waits for Annabeth. She decided to continue with her sketch.
After a few minutes of waiting and sketching, Annabeth came out. She threw herself on the bed, next to Rachel, took a pillow and scream at it.
Who knew a smarty pants like her can be a drama queen,Rachel thought. "Hey Annabeth, you okay?"
Annabeth remove the pillow from her head. "I am going to tutor a boy who's so frickin' annoying and can't even get along with him. Gee, I wonder if I'm okay," she replied.
"Thanks for you're answer captain sarcasm," Rachel said, a little bit irritated.
Annabeth sighed. "Sorry, it's just so confusing. I still have no idea how I'll survive tutoring him."
"Well," Rachel said. "Maybe you have to give him a chance."
"After all the torturing he did, I won't give him a chance," Annabeth protested.
"Come on," Rachel said. "Just think of the bright side, when you succeed with tutoring Percy, you might even start your own tutoring business. You'll make your mom proud, which is almost impossible to do, and maybe you can put it in your collage appliance."
Annabeth sighed. "I guess I'll do it then."
Rachel nodded. "So," she said. "Wanna hang around here for a while? We can order some Chinese."
Annabeth shrugged. "Sure, I guess."
Rachel took her phone. "And Rachel?"
"Yeah?"
"After the Chinese food, can we do our homework together, then we'll study together. Or we can watch some documentary shows," Annabeth said. "In fact," Annabeth took out a bunch of tapes, all documentary shows from National Geographic and Discovery Channel. "I brought the tapes," Annabeth grinned.
Rachel sighed. Just the typical things Annabeth do.
Well, this is not the best I can do, actually. But then again, I'll do better on the next chapter. But then again, that's my opinion. Tell me what you think. Is it good? Bad? Too much drama? Did I make Annabeth act WAY too crazy? Actually, don't answer the last part. I think I knew the answer.
Anyway, REVIEW! :D
