Annabeth pov
Percy liked her?! When Annabeth thought about it though, it didn't make sense. If she said no, Percy would be shattered and things between them would never be the same again. If she said yes, she would still have her seaweed brain, but the idea didn't seem right. She was shaken out of her thought when she saw Percy walking toward her. He was dripping wet and he had a goofy smile. Then his expression changed when his gaze crept over to the note in her hand.
Percy pov
'This was it', Percy thought. He walked up to Annabeth. "Hey Wise Girl, I see you got my note." He hoped his tone wasn't shaky. Percy was contemplating whether he should say more, or wait for her answer. Her voice interrupted his thoughts. " Yeah Percy, umm… I just read it." Percy just wished he could clear the tension in the air."So… will you go out with me?"
Annabeth Pov
Annabeth was fazed. What would she say? She thought of going on a date with Percy, them smiling at each other that way, but she couldn't picture it. She needed more time to think, but she had to give an answer. Deep in her heart, she knew what it was. " I'm sorry Percy, it's just that I don't know if I like you that way. I feel like we should just stay best friends, okay?" His face fell and he murmured an okay. He stumbled on his feet and went out the door. The following car ride was silent.
Percy Pov
He was rejected. He kept repeating that over and over in his head. He was so confident, but Annabeth tore all of his hopes down. What now? Were they supposed to pretend nothing had happened between them like they were that morning? Percy couldn't bear the thought. He slumped into his bed. He shut his eyes and only thought of one thing. Annabeth. He let the darkness take him into a dreamy unconscious form.
Annabeth Pov
Annabeth was waiting outside her house for Percy. She just hoped he would be normal. She checked her watch. How come he wasn't there yet? She waited and waited. Soon she realized he wasn't coming. She sighed as she began to walk.
Percy pov
Percy couldn't bear to see Annabeth yet. He sighed as he drove his car. He got to school quicker than he imagined.
He was walking with his head down before he bumped into a girl with fiery red hair. Colored pencils were now scattered on the floor. Percy was about to quickly apologize when he was interrupted. "Oh My God I'm So Sorry!I'm very late for something important. Bye!" She talked so fast Percy could barely understand what she was saying. She scurried off frantically without even picking up her stuff. Percy looked confused after the girl. Suddenly, the girl came back, probably to get her stuff. She seemed very hurried so Percy stood to the side. Before she walked away Percy decided to speak." Wait! I never did actually catch your name." The girl glanced back at Percy before responding. "Rachel." Percy didn't know what to make of that. He hurried onto his first class realizing he was also late.
Annabeth Pov
5 minutes until lunch. Annabeth knew it was silly, but for some reason, a little part of her thought Percy wouldn't want to sit with her. She knew it was ridiculous but she still had doubt. She glanced at the clock. 2 more minutes. She sighed as she caught the last bit of the teacher talking about assigned homework.
Percy Pov
Percy sighed as the bell rang. He hadn't seen Annabeth for the entire day. Now he was about to. But he knew one thing for sure. He would still be best friends with Annabeth, no matter how much it hurt. Because that wouldn't be fair to her. He was too deep in his thoughts until he bumped into the same girl with the red hair from the morning. He dug through his mind for her name. Rebecca? Riley? Rafa? Oh. Wait! Rachel. Yeah. That was what it was. "Oh! It's you again. Sorry I bumped into you again unexpectedly. So sorry!" 'There it is again' Percy thought. She was talking so fast. "Yeah. So rachel was it?" Percy asked. " Yeah although I never caught your name. Oh wait. Its lunch. I have to go. See you later! She hurried off. " It's Percy by the way!" Percy shouted after her. He sighed. He walked into the cafeteria. He went over to their table and sat down next to jason. He looked to see everyone: jason, piper, leo,hazel, frank, nico, thaila, and… Annabeth.
And that's a wrap for this chapter! I hoped you liked it. I'll try to update more from now on and make the chapters a bit more lengthy. I'm currently working on chapter 4, but I might have to shut down this story if I'm not getting any reviews or follows. Please tell me what you think of the story, I would really appreciate it. Bye!
