School's Out! Chapter 3
A/N: Heyyyyyy you guys! It's TheLovelyDreamChaser here! Wow, you guys. Thanks for reviewing! You guys are awesome! If you guys have some favorite pairings that you want me to work in here somehow, please let me know! This chapter took a lot longer than usual because I needed some OC's. Special thanks to oneHPloverandonePJlover, slytheringirl4life, and SeaJacksonDaughterOfPoseidon (Her OC is not in this chapter but will be coming in later) And, since I got 19 amazing reviews, I present: CHAPTER 3!
Disclaimer (I forgot this last chapter): I, TLDC, do not own Percy Jackson or Annabeth Chase.
Previously, on School's Out:
"Let's go to camp already, Seaweed Brain."
Ugh. Driving for 2 hours can be taxing. Especially after you fight a Cyclopes.
"Hey Seaweed Brain!" I shouted over the radio.
"Yea?" he said, turning the radio down.
"Can we stop somewhere to eat? I'm starving!"
"Yea, sure. I think we need gas, too. How about we stop at a gas station, Wise Girl?"
"Sounds good to me."
After about 5 minutes of driving, we found a little run down gas station with a diner inside.
"Hey Annabeth, you go inside and order. I'll fill up the gas tank and meet you inside."
I nodded and headed into the diner. As soon as I stepped in, the overwhelming smell of fried, greasy food consumed me. I'm sure my mouth was watering.
The diner wasn't anything fancy, just a counter with a cash register and a kitchen in back with some red booths. To me, it looked like heaven.
I went up to the counter and ordered some food. Some chicken tenders for me, and a burger for Percy. Yum.
I picked out a random booth and sat down just as Percy walked in. Perfect timing.
He sat down on the other side of the booth, and looked at me suspiciously. Why was he looking at me like that?
… … … … … …
That's when I realized that he wasn't looking at me. He was looking behind me.
I causally turned around to sneak a peek at the subject of Percy's paranoia.
He was looking at a tall man. Unusually tall. Monster tall, in fact! Could he be another Cyclopes? Hmmmm… I took a good look at the mysterious man in the tall trench coat. He looked like a normal human…
I closed my eyes.
See through the mist, Annabeth I chided myself. C'mon, c'mon!
I opened my eyes and…
The mysterious man only had one eye, right in the middle of his forehead. Another Cyclopes? Really? This is definitely not a coincidence. My Athena brains are working overload…
I focused my eyes on the Cyclopes. He seemed to be staring at something.
I followed his line of sight. It wasn't a something at all. It was someone. Multiple someone's, in fact.
He was staring at a booth with three kids inside. They all looked about 13 or 14. The first boy had dirty blonde hair and electric blue eyes…
Just like Thalia's.
Okay that was strange.
There was also a girl with light blonde hair and an ocean blue-green streak, and a boy with black hair. They both had sea green eyes…
Just like Percy's.
Okay, that was more just strange. They might possibly be demigods…
Then I remembered the Cyclopes looking at them strangely.
I am now positive they are demigods.
Percy turned around to see what I was looking at. He studied them warily for a moment, and then turned back to me.
Demigods? He mouthed.
I nodded.
How have they not been sniffed out by any monsters before today? We should learn more about them... but how? Hmmm… I got it! Athena always has a plan.
"Percy! You are so stupid!"
I mouthed at Percy Just go with it! I hope he got the message.
"Well you're the one who said to fill up the gas tank!" He said randomly. Thank the gods he caught on.
"There is no way I said that! If you wouldn't have filled up the gas tank the whole way, we might still have some money left!" I said, improvising wildly. I hope our argument made sense.
"Well you said…"
"I did not say that!" I picked up a fork, "You are SUCH a seaweed brain!"
I made it seem like I was trying to throw the fork at him. Instead, I aimed it at the kid with Thalia's eyes who was arguing with the other boy about some random thing or another. It hit my target dead on. Perfect shot.
"You don't know what your talking about, Liam. Private Jets are so much cooler than yachts because- OUCH!" It hit my target dead on. Perfect shot.
"Man, that hurt! What was that?"
Oops. Guess I hit him harder than I meant to…
I ran over to his booth where him and his friends were sitting. Percy ran after me.
"Oh my gods, I am so sorry! I meant to hit my seaweed brain of a boyfriend over here." I pointed at Percy.
"Hey!" Percy objected.
"No harm done! You do have quite an arm, though." The boy with Thalia's eyes grinned and handed me my fork back.
Percy snorted. I stomped on his foot.
"Thanks," I extended my hand "Annabeth Chase, pleased to meet you."
He shook my hand "Ryder Osmond. That, over there, is my best friend Liam Taylor," The boy with the black hair shook his head as to say what's up, "and that girl is his twin and my other best friend Katrina Taylor" The girl grinned and waved to us. Twins, huh? They don't look anything alike.
"I'm Percy. Percy Jackson."
"Nice to meet you. I'm going to go order some more food." Liam said
He got up out of the booth and walked toward the counter.
"So… you guys live around here?"
"Uh huh! Liam and I live just around the corner next to Ryder." Katrina said.
"Yep! Best friends since she splashed me with water in the first grade."
"Okay, I swear, I didn't splash you! It was Liam!"
"Yea right, he was halfway across the pool"
Halfway across the pool… could she be…
"Hey Katrina, what's your favorite activity?"
"Please, call me Kat, I hate it when people call me Katrina. My brother and I love to swim competitively. I always win of course, but It's our favorite thing to do. Why do you ask?"
Ah… I could smell it from here. So chlorine had been covering up their scent. I knew who she and her brother were. It was obvious. The question is, how is Percy going to take the news that he has twin siblings?
"I'll explain in a moment. What do you love to do, Ryder?"
"Well, I don't know. I really haven't found anything that's exciting enough yet." Hmmm… he's going to be harder to figure out. Hermes? No… My wallet would be gone by now. Athena? He doesn't have grey eyes…
My thoughts were interrupted by a scream.
"AHHHHH OH MY GOD HELP ME THIS GUY IS PHYCO!"
Liam was screaming at the top of his lungs. The Cyclopes in the trench coat had him in a headlock.
Oh gods, here we go again.
A/N: and that's it for this chapter! A little bit of a cliffhanger! Again, PLEASE REVIEW! I will update as soon as I get… maybe… 25 reviews or so? Yea. Well, hope you liked it!
