Chapter 3
When I got back to my house on Saturday afternoon I when up to my room and thought about all the references to Greek mythology. 'It has to be a sign.' I thought. Then I made up my mind. Tonight, I was going to get my camp necklace back.
I waited until everyone was asleep, then I slipped down the hall into my father's office, where he kept his most valuable possessions.
I fumbled around until my hand clasped around a leather necklace. I had found it! I tied the necklace around my neck and closed my eyes. I loved the feeling of having it around my neck, resting so perfecting on my throat.
I slipped it into my pocket and snuck back to my room.
On Monday I walked to school and after the house was out of sight, I put on my camp necklace.
When I got to the school it seemed like everyone was buzzing. I asked Ariel about it and she practically screamed "Didn't you here? There is this really hot new kid. He's like from new York or something."
I rolled my eyes, of course all this excitement would be about a hot boy. The bell rang and I rushed off to English.
"Good morning class, we have a new student today, everyone say hello."
A boy walked into the classroom and I almost had a heart attack. He had raven black hair, sea green eyes, and that trouble maker smirk that I loved.
Standing in the doorway was the one and only, Percy Jackson.
"P-p-Percy?" I asked, not believing what I was seeing.
Percy grinned, "Hey Wisegirl."
Without realizing what I was doing, I ran up to him and hugged him.
"Well, I see you and Mr. Jackson know each other, so, Mr. Jackson, you can take a seat next to Ms. Chase.
We walked, hand in hand, back to our seats. "Oh my gods Annabeth, I've missed you so much."
"I missed you to, so much." What I didn't tell him was that he was one of the only things that kept me going through this Hades. "But what are you doing here? If my dad finds out he will kill you."
"And I certainly haven't had someone want to kills me before." He said sarcastically.
"Point taken, but seriously, why are you here?"
"I came here to rescue you; I got a quest to come get you. I have been bugging Chiron for two years. Camp isn't the same without you there; even the newcomers can sense it."
"Wow, I didn't realize I was that important."
"Of course you are! You are like the glue that holds the camp together!"
"Excuse me; do you have something to share, Mr. Jackson and Ms. Chase?"
"No, sir," We said.
"Good,"
When the ball rang Percy and I walked out of the classroom hand in hand. He stopped me by our lockers, "I don't think we've had a proper reunion."
Then He kissed me. I felt as if all of my problems were being washed away. Everything would be okay.
The bell interrupted us.
"Crap! Percy, now we're going to be late!"
"So,"
"Seaweed Brain. Here, let me see your schedule."
I looked at his schedule and realized it was the same as mine. I raised an eyebrow at him. "Can you explain the joyous miracle that we have every class together?"
"Chiron," He said simply.
"That makes sense, come on, let's get to math."
We walked to math and when we got there the teacher looked at us skeptically. "Can you explain why you're late?"
"Sorry, Ms. Terry, I was just showing Percy around, he's new, as you can probably see."
"Ok, then, please take a seat."
We walked to the back of the room and sat down. I didn't fail to notice every girl turn and stare at Percy. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. 'Stop that' I chided myself 'Percy would never want one of those fakes; he waited two years for you.'
Ms. Terry kept talking about angles or something that I already knew. I talked to Percy about camp, and what I missed for the last two years.
"It has been pretty boring. We haven't had any quests of anything, but we have made beads for you for the last two summers."
"About how many campers do we have now?"
"I don't know, about four hundred."
"Four hundred!"
"Yeah,"
"When do we get to go to camp?"
"As soon as school gets out, that is the earliest we can leave without a huge catastrophe."
"It made sense; the teachers would wonder where we went. School ended in two weeks. I would just have to wait until then. And I would get to spend those days with Percy.
We walked to science and Percy raised his hand for every question. He was an expert on the ocean, given he was the son of the sea god.
When the bell rang we when to lunch. Percy and I got our food and headed over to my usual table in the back corner.
We sat down and I cuddled up next to him. I couldn't help it; I just missed him so much. Percy put his arm around me.
"Who is this?" Sophia asked as she and Ariel slid into the bench across the table.
"This is my boyfriend, Percy."
"So you're the new kid, wow, Annabeth, you work fast." Ariel said.
"No, Percy has been my boyfriend since last year. We got together when we were sixteen, on his birthday."
"Wow, you've been dating him for a year, and you haven't broken up yet!"
"Well, we've known each other since we were twelve, and we've been through a lot of stuff together. Oh yeah, Percy, this is Ariel and Sophia."
"Hi," Percy said.
"Hola, amigo," Sophia said, "Live long and prosper."
"Excuse her, she is crazy," Ariel stated.
"Hey,"
Just then Anastasia and her group of followers decided to come over. "Hey, I never did catch your name." She said getting close to Percy, too close.
"Umm, Percy," Percy said nervously, scooting away from Anastasia.
"Oh, Percy's a cool name." She said scooting closer.
Percy scooted further away "Uhhh thanks?"
"I'm Anastasia and I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies on Friday."
"No, I have a girlfriend,"
"Really who, because I am so much better than her."
"My girlfriend is Annabeth and she is a million times better than you'll ever be." Percy tightened he grip around me.
Anastasia looked at me as if just realizing I was here. She gave me a look of disgust then turned back to Percy. "You're seriously dating this dumpster girl. Please, baby, you deserve better."
Apparently calling me a 'dumpster girl' was the last straw for Percy. He stood up and started shouting. "Anastasia, you just turn around and walk out of here! Like I said before, Annabeth is a million times better than you! I don't deserve her!"
"Percy, its fine."
"No, it's not fine."
"Percy just sit down, please."
"You," He pointed at Anastasia, "Stay away from Annabeth and me."
Anastasia just looked astonished that someone had rejected her and she turned to leave.
"You shouldn't have done that." I said, snuggling up to him again.
"But I had to," he said and he lightly kissed the top of my head, "Because nobody insults Annabeth."
After lunch Percy and I walked to social studies.
Percy was introduced to the teacher, Mr. Bowen, and then we sat down in our seats. "Class, today we will be continuing our research on our country. And Mr. Jackson, there are no more available countries so you will have to join someone and work with them. Anyone willing to work with Percy? All of the girls in the class raised their hands. I just rolled my eyes and lazily raised my hand.
"Can I work with Annabeth?" Percy asked.
"Yes, What country are you doing, Annabeth?"
"I'm researching Greece."
"Ok, you two will research Greece together." All the girls had disappointed looks on their faces.
The class walked to the computer lab and sat at the computers.
"Ok, so what we're doing is we are researching Greece and making a PowerPoint on it."
"Ok, so what are we researching about Greece."
"Right now, just general information."
"Ok, what would be considered general information?"
"Just get started Seaweed Brain."
"Ok, Ok," He said throwing his arms up in surrender. Then he turned to his computer and started researching.
In history, the teacher told us that we were going to have a surprise on Friday. "Make sure you wear comfortable clothes." Mr. Thomas said.
We watched a video about the Greek gods and heroes.
"Remind me again how you got into advanced architecture." I asked Percy, while looking at his drawing of a building. It looked like a blob that, according to his scale, would be 100 feet wide and 1,000 feet tall.
"Chiron, pulled a few strings," He admitted with a shrug. "By the way, we still need a designer for Olympus. Are you willing to take up the job again?"
"Are you kidding me? Of course! I have some more designs in my room."
He laughed. Well then it's settled, when school is over, you're taking back your job.
"Great!"
I walked to PE and changed quickly. I went out into the main gym and sat next to Percy. "Listen up! Today we will be playing capture the flag."
"Do you even realize how ironic that is?" I whispered in Percy's ear.
"I know, right." Then we picked teams Percy and I were on the same team. We got onto our side and the game started.
Mortals seriously do not know how to play capture the flag. I mean there was absolutely no battle plan, people just ran into enemy territory and tried to grab the flag. Second, there was no fighting for your right for freedom, all someone had to do was tag someone on the opposite side and they would go to jail. Finally, it was played in to small of a space. There were no trees and rocks to hide in and there really was no chase when someone grabbed the flag.
Our team won, even though it consisted mostly of the nerds and loners. We actually had a plan. Everyone knew what they were supposed to do. Three people would go to the left and right, distracting the other team, and the rest of us would charge down the middle and take the flag. Then the team mates would crowd around the flag bearer (Percy) and charge back to our side.
I rushed back into the locker room at the end of PE and took a quick shower before changing and going to my locker.
I started packing up when Percy appeared right next to me. "I forgot to ask," I said "but where are you staying?"
Percy frowned and his eyebrows got all scrunched up. "I don't know."
I laughed "Only you Seaweed Brain!"
"Can you come with me to find a hotel?"
"I could, or I could sneak you into my house." I said with a grin.
"That would work, but where would I sleep?"
"My closet is a walk-in."
"I get to sleep in my girlfriend's closet, yay!" Percy said sarcastically.
I laughed, "Come on Seaweed Brain, let's get your stuff and sneak into my house."
And scene! I hope that was good. I tried to give you some Percabeth fluff, tell me how I did.
