Chapter four: Being called a geek
TFA:TR (stands for The Fallen Angels: The Redeemers
Okay, thanks for the reviews everybody, means a lot. You probably heard of my new story, The Celebrity Love Series: Move on, and then we have A Celebrity Love Story and Atlantis and Athens ~ thank the gods I'm working AAA (Atlantis and Athens) with PEM (PiperElizabethMclean.), but, since I have all those stories to attend to, It will take longer for me to update, but I'll try my best. So here's chapter…um…, well chapter one was: the new girl, chapter two was an author's note…so I guess this is chapter 3, am I right? But anyways, here's chapter 3:
Annabeth's POV
At first, when I met Percy, I thought he was another guy who would hit on girls, ask girls out, and then dump them. But he doesn't seem like the type who would do that. But, after he finished with the tour and 50 percent done flirting with me, we headed to math class. When we entered, the teacher wasn't there yet. So Percy and I took a seat right besides each other. I couldn't help but hear everybody talking about, mostly "who is that chick?" or "is Percy Jackson still single?" and worst "Is the new girl and Percy Jackson dating."
With that, I rolled my eyes, "I wish." Percy looked at me confused, "What did you say?" He asked. Dam it, I forgot he was here. "Why would you forget that I'm here?" He asked. I looked at him shocked, "Did you just read my mind." Percy now looked at me confused and then shocked. "Um…was I right?" I nodded.
"Whoa…that's creepy." He said. I nodded still looking at him shocked. Then, out of nowhere, I heard a voice. I turned around to find a girl who was glaring arrows at me from the back row. She had caramel brown hair and greenish caramel-ish eyes. Somehow, I could hear what she was thinking/planning even when her lips weren't moving: "who does this girl think she is? Steal my PERCY! She should now that I rule this school, and when I want something, I always get it." Once she saw my glaze, she gave me a plastic smile. I rolled my eyes and turned around.
Only to be elbowed by Percy. "What." I hissed. Percy chuckled, "Why were you looking at Calypso." "Oh, the girl who's head over heels for you, saying she rules the school, saying when she wants something, she gets it and who could possibly be your ex-girlfriend or even better girl-friend." I said with total bitterness in every word. "Whoa…are you jealous over Calypso, I mean, I never talked to her since we broke up." Percy informed me.
I rolled my eyes, trying to hide my blush, "First of all Jackson, I'm not jealous over anybody and second, oh…I wonder why you and Calypso broke up. I mean you two would have looked so cute." Percy laughed, "Oh come on Chase, and you know you like me." I glared at him. But before I could continue, the teacher interrupted, "If you two are done flirty around, may I start my lesson." She asked totally annoyed. I and Percy blushed madly earning a lot of snickers and smirks. I nodded eagerly to stop the embarrassment coming to me. "Very well." The teacher Mrs. Pierce said.
Probably, for the whole classed Percy had zoned out and every time the teacher caught him, she would make him tell her answer to her math problems, and trust me they were super hard, but for some odd reason, I knew from the back of my head. When Mrs. Pierce caught Percy again, she asked him: (enter math question here.) "Well, the answer would be: (enter answer here.)" Percy responded.
But this time I caught a mistake, so being the adopted daughter I am, I raised my hand, "Sorry ma am, but isn't the answer (enter a different answer, but a bit similar.)" But before the teacher could say anything, Percy cut in. "Sorry Annabeth, but the answer is (enter answer here.)" Percy said. I rolled my eyes, "No, I can't be. If the answer is (Annabeth's enter answer here), you won't get a remainder and the whole question will be wrong.
Percy shook his head and he got up and walked towards the chock board and started solving the question and every method and langue. I didn't realize every body's moth was hanging open including Mrs. Pierce. Percy wrote like a manic, but it seemed like I was the only one to keep up (and understand.) After Percy was done, he turned to me and his eye brows rose.
As a response, I sighed and got up and changed all the math corrections in every langue and method Percy wrote in. As I wrote, my brain was working like a manic, I noticed this every since my 16th birthday was two day ago (August 18th.) After I was done, I turned over to Percy and he looked defeated. "Okay, okay. Your right their." He said. I smirked and turned to the teacher and she was shocked as ever, her mouth was hanging open. But, thankfully the bell rung and Percy and I looked at each other confused on what was going on.
So we just shrugged and grab our stuff and left. When we got out. Percy sighed. "What?" I asked turning to him. "Well, instead of being called Percy the awesome, I'll be called Percy the geek." He said. As he said that, I felt my heart being ripped off…does Percy take geeks different from other people? "What's wrong with geeks?" I asked through grinded teeth. Percy shrugged, "I have nothing against them, but…well, I have a reputation to keep and back there, I looked like a total geek."
I felt much better when he said that. If you're wondering why, well…in all of my other schools, I was the school geek and everybody made fun of me and…every day I wished, I could start my life over for everybody won't see I'm a goody-two shoes, a geek and a loser. That's why I felt like I needed to defend myself against Percy and any other person who said something about geeks. But, after the little show in math, everybody will still take me as a geek…including Percy.
Percy then noticed my tense, "Annabeth, if you have something with geeks and stuff, I didn't mean what I said, it's just…" I then cut Percy off, "No, no. It's okay. I understand, I mean I know how it would feel being made fun of, being called a loser and all that other nasty stuff." Percy looked at me confused, "What are you talking about, you're not a geek." I sighed. "Percy, I really don't want to talk about it, so can we just get to lunch." I asked. Percy nodded and we both started walking to Lunch. As we walked, I heard a lot of people whispering about how Percy and I got the teacher to become crazy. I sighed feeling horrible with every word then said. Then, the Calypso girl came up,"Oh babe, I heard how you got Mrs. Pierce all shock by your brain, I'm so impressed."She said in a shirred voice. I looked over to Percy and saw flames in his eyes. "Look Calypso, for the last time. Were over and stop with the babe thing, it's disgusting."
Calypso rolled her eyes and then turned to me and back to Percy, "Oh please, just because you have a new girlfriend doesn't mean I can't call you babe and besides, you can do better than her, she's such a geek." I felt angry boil in me and my hand turned into a fist. But before I could speak, Percy cut in, "Annabeth is not a geek, Calypso." My first reaction was: Aww, he's defending me. But I realized I wasn't that type of girl. I could stand up myself.
"No Percy, Calypso's right. I'm a geek. I was always called one and…" I shrugged. "I will die one, but to you Calypso, you shouldn't call people a geek, for just a thing they did in class. But how I see it, you were born with brains, but wouldn't use them. Because you, your self was once called a geek, that's why your treating other people like this. But if I were you, I would back off and won't judge a person by their cover." I said as I pushed her off and stormed off. I heard footsteps behind me, but I didn't turn around. Tears were already going down my check since I was exactly like I was in all my other schools, a geek, a loser, a goody-two shoes and a coward.
{Please read this short Author's note:} I hoped you liked this chapter. I know I PM'd on what will happen for this chapter, but it was way off. But what I PM'd her, I'll use probably for chapter 5 or 6, it depends. Also, since I won't be updating for a while, I have a deal for you. If you review for this chapter and this chapter only, I'll PM you the chapter summery, chapter title and maybe a preview on what will happen for the next chapter, but that will be only if you review, so please review. Thanks! (P.S, I'm putting this AN on all my story chapters, so be on the lookout for those!)
