Sorry for such a long wait...life has been full of surprises lately...here's my apology gift!
I was going to get a drink at school early in the morning-1 hour earlier than when most students arrive-in the middle of cheerleading practice when I saw a tall, dark and handsome stranger walk in through the doors. I wiped my mouth and walked over. "May I help you?" I asked, twirling my hair.
"Um...I'm looking for the guidance counselor's office," he replied, not the slightest bit fazed by my flirting.
I smiled, "I'll show you the way. So, what's your name?"
"Percy. Percy Jackson."
"I'm MacKenzie. So, you're going to attend this school from today?"
"I guess you could say that..." he answered. Hmm...
"Well then, if you need anything, just ask me," I tilted my head, letting my ponytail over my shoulder, looking up at him from under my lashes. Yes, I know. A cliché flirting technique.
"I actually already have a...friend...who's attending this school. Thanks for the offer, though." I cannot believe he just blew me off like that! Oh, well. I still have 1 1/2 years, though it'll take probably just 4 days...
"Here it is," I said, gesturing to the office door.
"Thanks."
"No problem," I smiled brightly, but he walked on without a second glance.
Soon, the student populace slowly arrived and it was time for home base. My best friend, Steph, leaned over and said, "Apparently, Annabeth's boyfriend is visiting for the week. He's staying with her and everything. He'll be coming to this school for the week."
"Blondie?" I was surprised she managed to score a boy. Sure, she had the looks-she could have been a threat to my throne (and I won several beauty contests)-but she wasn't very social, always had her nose in a book, and went to this vague summer camp. "How do you know?"
"I have my ways," she smirked. I shuddered. I was thankful she was my friend and I was popular, or who knows what she could spill about me...
I had to see Blondie's boyfriend. Not in class, but up close. I saw her going to the teacher's desk, and there was still 20 minutes left of home base (it's a pretty laid back school), so after a while, after she left, I asked to "use the restroom". I started to the office when I realized she would probably be giving the tour right now. I heard some voices coming from the library. Obviously, she would've started there-she and some other nerds are the only people who even step in there.
"This is the library," she said.
"Wow, judging by the cobwebs and dust, this is obviously a very popular hangout," Blondie's boyfriend joked. Wow, nerd had a sense of humor? Wait-I recognized that voice. It was Percy! But Percy was too hot to be her boyfriend. Maybe Blondie's boyfriend wasn't visiting, and she was just giving the new kid a tour. I peeked inside the library and hid behind a shelf spy on-er, I mean, observe-them.
Blondie faced Percy. "I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaimed. Maybe she's enthusiastic about a new kid? "Even if it is just for the week!" Oh, darn.
He grinned, and I swear my heart skipped a beat. "Me too."
"Well, shall we continue?"
"Sure. I'm guessing you're the only person who comes in here? And now we see Annabeth Chase in her natural habitat," he said in a documentary-ish voice.
"Shut up, Seaweed Brain," but she smiled.
"She's on a hunt for a book she hasn't read, but they're scarce," he continued, and she punched him. "Ow!"
"That's what you get, Kelp Head!"
He got a mischievous glint in his eye.
He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and she started squealing, but there was no one to shush them because even the librarians barely ever came in there. Serious envy. I should come in here with Brent (yes, I have a boyfriend and a crush, blah blah blah. Who cares?).
"Put me down right now or you will regret it!" she yelped.
"Why? You don't like the view?" she blushed, since her face was right below his lower back. "And what're you gonna do? Judo-flip me? Been there, done that." Wow. There were a lot of things I didn't know about Blondie.
"I was thinking more like no kisses for a week..." she smirked. Seriously? What kind of "punishment" is that?
But Percy stopped running around with his eyes practically bulging out. "But I'm only here for a week!"
"I know." He put her down after that. "But I don't think I would survive, either." Aw...
Percy thought it was cute, too because he bent down and kissed her. It was like a movie. I legit melted right there on the spot. About 3 minutes later, I got bored and silently started back to class. What I would give to make Brent that romantic. But when I chose the role of queen bee, I chose to be non-romantic-only hot. The whole riding-on-my-boyfriend's-shoulder thing would totally ruin my rep. There are some days I miss the times when I was normal-which are very few, but this is one of those days. As a fellow girlfriend and (secret) romantic, I couldn't break them up, no matter how hot he was. Yes, I would love to have him, but...when it's true love, I don't break it up.I don't like breaking hearts when the love is real. A high school fling-anyone can get over. I guess it's because of how my mom left my dad and came back only to give me to him. He says she loved me, but I don't think so. I know he loved her, though, because every year on my birthday, he gets all nostalgic. I know, it sucks. Maybe in the future, when I'm passed "popularity" I can be like everyone else. But this is high school, and "being like everyone else" doesn't get you through it.
You like it? If you noticed something about MacKenzie, PM me. ;) And who wouldn't love to have a BF like Percy? What I would give (;)) to be Annabeth! Write a review, please! Constructive criticism appreciated. Once again, I'm sorry for the wait. Hopefully, more updates are coming soon, but I apologize if they don't...
