Percy POV
Beep, Beep, Beep. I groaned, smacking the top of my alarm clock. Then I realised what was happening today. Annabeth was coming over!
I smiled stupidly to myself. All I had to do was get through school and I could see my wise girl again.
Then I remembered. Shit. I had asked for Sam to come over today so I could talk to him about being a demigod. Well, I guess Annabeth could help me.
I got out of bed, stretching. I slipped on a hoodie, and grabbed some breakfast.
"Bye Mom!"
"Bye Percy!"
I headed outside and breathed in some fresh air, starting to walk to school. I don't know why, but I had a feeling like today was going to be bad.
~O~
I strutted up to my locker to grab my maths book. I couldn't afford another detention today. I had to go see Annabeth asap.
As I was getting my textbook out from my locker, my eyes landed on the photo I had stuck on my locker door. It was taken just after the giant war, it was the seven with Nico, Will, Reyna and Thalia. The only person missing was Leo.
I choked up thinking about him. We had never found the body, nor Festus, so we liked to think that the flaming McShizzle is still out there somewhere.
In the photo, my arms were wrapped around Annabeth, and we were both smiling at the camera, obviously happy that we were back with our friends.
My thoughts were interrupted as two hands covered my eyes.
"Guess who?" the person behind me asked.
I groaned. "Go away Sophie".
Sophie, who was annoyed at this, said "Why are you in a bad mood Perce?"
"Don't call me Perce. Only my friends call me that".
"But, but…"
"PLEASE just leave me alone, I have a girlfriend".
"I bet I'm better than her".
"You will never be better than Annabeth. Ever".
Sophie seemed to give up as she opened her own locker and started to take out her books.
"Hey man," said Sam from behind me.
"Hey," I turned around, maths books in my hand.
Sam smiled at me, gesturing to his own books. Then, he noticed something behind me.
"Who are those people, in your picture."
I smirked, pulling the picture of my locker door, showing it to him.
"That's my girlfriend, Annabeth, that's Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Thalia, Will and Reyna. They all go to that summer camp I was talking about, for ADHD and Dyslexic kids."
He looked interested, saying "Nice".
"Yeah well, we should probably get to class now, I don't want another detention".
We sprinted to class, determined not to get there late.
When we arrived, luckily, the class hadn't started. We took our seats, and the class began. There were no problems and it was fine. Now I knew for sure that something bad was going to happen. I never have luck this good.
At lunch, I was talking to Josh and Sam about Annabeth. I was explaining about how amazingly smart, brave, cunning and beautiful she was.
"Dude", Sam said. "You're talking about her like she's half goddess."
I burst out laughing. Wiping my tears, I said "You could say that".
Sam looked confused, while Josh smirked knowingly. I was telling them about our first kiss (leaving stuff out about the titan war), when I remembered something.
I had forgotten my marine biology homework for next period.
"Ah, shit."
"What is it?" asked Josh.
"Forgot my homework".
Sam laughed at me, "Mr Engle is going to kill you. He hates it when people forget their homework".
Shit. I don't want another detention. I guess I just have to hope he doesn't kill me. Suddenly, everyone gasped around me. I turned.
There was the most beautiful person ever. Annabeth. She was standing there, smirking, holding my Marine biology homework in her hand.
"Looking for this seaweed brain?"
Instead of answering her, I ran up grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up into the air, twirling her around.
"Put me down kelp head!"
I put her down before giving her a kiss. We walked back over to my table and she sat down next to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, I arrived at your apartment, and was just sitting in your room when I noticed your homework with the due date on it. I thought, why not just bring it to you, cause the school is not that far."
"Thanks, I was worried I was going to get a detention."
Sam nudged me, "Are you going to introduce us?"
Oh yeah, I probably should do that.
"Guys, this is Annabeth, my beautiful girlfriend. Annabeth that's Sam Rodgers and that's Josh." Annabeth already new Josh, but I had to keep the façade up.
They all exchanged handshakes, asking them about each other.
"Annabeth", I said. "Just so you know, Sam's coming home after school today, I have a couple of things to tell him." I winked at her.
Her face was full of understanding, as she nodded. "Well," she started. "I really should get going…"
She was interrupted as Miss Lamia came running out of the school building. "Where are those tasty half-bloods?" she shrieked. She turned into a terrifying monster with a serpent's tail, black claws extending from her fingers.
I remembered where I had heard the name Lamia before. She was a child eating daemon, she used to be one of Zeus' lovers before Hera cursed her.
I uncapped my pen, while Annabeth drew her Drakon bone sword. We stood back to back.
"I'll get Lamia", I said. "You protect Sam".
She nodded. While this was happening, the entire cafeteria exploded into chaos. I wondered what they were seeing, but it can't have been good.
We both sprang into action. Lamia tried to claw at my chest, but I deflected her easily with Riptide. She tried to advance on defenceless Sam, but every time she got close Annabeth would swipe at her.
It kept going like this until after 10 minutes Lamia swiped at my sword with her ugly green tail, knocking my sword out of my hands. I was defenceless. Annabeth ran over to protect me, but she didn't need to.
Sticking out of Lamia's chest was riptide, held by Sam. He had picked up my disarmed sword, and while she was focused on me, Sam had stuck it through her abdomen.
She burst into dust. All the mortals, who had been hiding behind the table got up and started to cheer.
"What the hell was that weird snake lady?" One asked
"Yeah, who was she?" said another.
Annabeth and I exchanged looks. The mist didn't work. This was not good at all. Taking Josh and Sam with us, we sprinted out of the school and headed towards my apartment.
So, that's it. What did everyone think about Lamia's reveal? As I said, the story has really started to kick off now, so I really hoped you guys thought that this chapter was good. If you enjoyed, like a favourite and a follow, and leave some feedback in the reviews, I really appreciate it when you do. Anyways guys, that's it for me. See you next chapter.
