I'm updating twice (possibly more) today.
Percy POV:
After Dionysus sent us away, I noticed just how pretty Annabeth was. She has curly blonde hair and looked like a typical California girl- except for her eyes. They ruined the image. Her eyes were grey and calculating and made her look like she was figuring out the best way to kill you.
"Percy…Percy…Percy?" I her say.
"What?" I asked stupidly.
"This is our homeroom. The rest of your band has it too, along with my friends."
"Oh … right."
She looked at me like I was the stupidest person alive. "Aren't you going to sit down?"
"Yeah." I was still looking at her. Finally, Annabeth sighed and pulled me into the classroom. I noticed Jason was already there with Piper- they seemed to be getting along pretty well. Jason looked up and snickered as I stumbled into the classroom after Annabeth.
The teacher, Mr. Brunner, began to take attendance.
"Jackson, Percy," he said. An audible gasp ran through the room. Then the squealing and screaming started.
"Marry me Percy!" a girl shouted.
"I love you Jason!"
"Sit down!" ordered Mr. Brunner. (I'm really starting to like this teacher.) "I thought you all knew that The Demigods were coming to Goode. Therefore, as we warned you every day last week, none of this 'fangirling' as some might call it, should happen. I expect you to be kind to our guests and treat them with respect. That means not throwing yourselves at them whenever you get the chance." Mr. Brunner finished his speech and continued with attendance.
"Does that happen often?" Thalia asked us.
"Every day of our lives," replied Nico.
We sighed as the bell rang and began to walk to acting. The ten of us somehow ended up with the same exact schedules.
It turned out that acting was at the other end of the school. Of course, we got in just as the bell rang. The teacher glared at us, but didn't say anything.
"Today," started Ms. Andersmith, "we will continue the scenes we started on Friday. Piper, Annabeth, Thalia, Calypso, and Hazel are up first." She nodded towards the girls who went up on stage.
Their performance went on perfectly and the rest of the class was uneventful.
Next class was singing with Mrs. Potter.
A kind lady greeted us at the door to the classroom.
"I'm Mrs. Potter, your singing teacher," she told us kindly. "You may sit anywhere in the class you'd like." I walked in and sat down next to Annabeth and Jason, who leaned over.
"I know you like her," he whispered in my ear. I face went bright red and I punched him in the arm.
"And I know you like Piper," I hissed back.
"But you didn't deny liking Annabeth." My face went redder than before. Did I like Annabeth? I didn't know much about her, except that she was pretty and talented at acting.
I simply rolled my eyes at him and turned towards Annabeth when he began talking to Piper. (Who seemed delighted to be talking to the one and only Jason Grace.
"So," I said slowly, "why are you here?" The question was stupid.
"I want to be a singer," Annabeth replied.
Mrs. Potter walked into the room at that point.
"I am very happy to welcome our new students to class. Would you boys mind singing a song for us?" She smiled at us. We numbly nodded.
"This song's called Let's Not Be Alone Tonight. It's new and we hope you guys like it."
Outside of the party where it's gettin' too loud
It feels like we're the only ones alone in the crowd
Chat college and politics in time that we spend
You look back and you say you think you lost all your friends
And I'm hoping that it's all my fault
Yeah, I'm hoping that it's all my fault
Hey, let's not be alone tonight
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
No it don't, no it don't mean love
But it might, but it might be love
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
Not wrong if you come on strong, 'cause life is too short
I like how we get along like snow and New York
All good if you change your mind, you know where I stand
Look back and I say to you I lost all my friends
And I know you know it's all your fault
Yeah, I know you know it's all your fault
Hey, let's not be alone tonight
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
No it don't, no it don't mean love
But it might, but it might be love
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
And I know it's gotta be my fault
Yeah, I know it's gotta be my fault
La la la la la
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la
La la la la la, yeah
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
No it don't, no it don't mean love
But it might, but it might be love
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be, hey!)
You don't have to be alone tonight
Hey, You don't have to be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
No it don't, no it don't mean love
But it might, but it might be love
Hey, let's not be alone tonight (You don't have to be alone)
The class erupted into cheers at the end of the song. Annabeth smiled brightly at me. I couldn't help but grin back.
The song is Let's Not Be Alone Tonight by R5. Thank you to everyone who has read this story. All rights to Rick Riordan.
