Here is Chapter 3! I figured with all the follows and favorites i would post another chapter! I was so happy to see you guys liked my story! When I saw that i had 6 favorites and 12 followers i was so happy! I did a happy dance with my computer and now my little brother thinks I'm crazy, but oh well! :) Thanks to all of you who reviewed and offered advice it's greatly apprecated! This story is based off of something that happened to me. I met my friend Travis the same way Percy and Annabeth met! Sorry I'm rambling. Enjoy chapter 3 of Falling In Love :)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson series. If I did Annabeth and Percy would have been together a long long time ago!
Percy's POV:
The girl was quickly walking away. If I wanted to know her name I should probably ask. I quickly stood up and took off after her. I don't know if she knew I was following her but she isn't turning around. I NEEDED to get her attention!
"Hey wait!" She still didn't turn around did she not hear me? Well it's either that or she's ignoring me. She probably couldn't hear me… yea that's it.
"Hey you! Girl! I never got your name! Please wait!" Great now I'm begging man if Nico was here he would take away my man card. ( A\N My brothers talk about their "man cards" all the time) She still didn't turn around. I started to run towards her. I slowed down as I came closer. I didn't want to crash into her again. Well maybe if I try- wait is she running away from me? Do I smell bad or something? While I stood there smelling my armpits the girl got away I don't know where she went. I should probably stop smelling myself the old lady next to me looks disgusted. I sighed and put my arm down. I guess I'll never learn her name. I slowly started to walk towards the exit. I'm gonna grab Nico and go. Maybe Mom will make my some blue cupcakes. I could really use some right now
Annabeth's POV:.
My back was sore from green eyes over there falling on me. I was SO ready to get out of here. Now I just need to find Thalia. I texted her and continued walking around. I heard footsteps behind me. I glanced behind me and saw that guy again. First he falls on me, then he stares at me, while he is still on top of me I might add, and now he's following me! Can anyone say creepy?
"Hey wait!" Oh great now he's calling after me. I don't want to deal with this right now. Maybe if I ignore him he'll go away.
"Hey you! Girl! I never got your name! Please wait!" His footsteps got closer to me. I did the thing anybody else would do. Instead of stopping I ran as fast as I could towards the exit.
I could feel my phone buzzing in my pocket. I took it out and saw Thalia was calling me. I quickly clicked accept and placed the phone by my ear. I could hear Thalia laughing.
"Nico stop! I'm calling Annabeth!"
"Um Thals?"
"Oh hey Annabeth where are you?"
"I'm towards the exit where are you?"
"Oh ok We'll come to you! Be there in 5!"
Before she hung up I could hear her laughing again. Well I guess I'm just going to be sitting here for five minutes. With nothing to do. Great.
After looking like a fool for five minutes I spotted Nico and Thalia walking towards me. I've only hung around Nico once or twice. I haven't really devolped a option of him but Thalia seems to I stood up and met them halfway. I was eager to get out of here.
"Hey guys ready to go?"
"Yea we just have to wait for Nico's brother." Crap I forgot that his brother was coming.
"He said he'll be here in a minute."
Nico, Thalia and I were in a middle of a conversation of what animal is cooler a fire phoenix or an ice dragon when Nico looked over my shoulder.
"Oh hey there he is. PERCY! Over here!"
So his name is Percy. I've never heard that name before. I turned around and my mouth flew open. I'm pretty sure my jaw was on the floor. The guy who fell on me was walking towards us. Of course with my luck he would turn out to be Nico's brother. Ugh my life. Percy quickly approached us and smiled. I composed myself and tried to look nonchalant, but judging by the smirk that appeared on his face I wasn't doing a good job.
"Hey you're the girl I fell on!"
Nico and Thalia turned to look at me. Thalia had her eyebrows raised. She didn't even need to ask I knew she was wondering what he was talking about.
"Percy here fell on me after you ran off."
There was a slightly awkward silence after that.
"Um well ready to go?"
I didn't know what we were going to do, but before I could ask Percy beat me to it.
"What are we doing anyway?"
We all started to walk towards the doors. Nico pushed them open and held the door for us. I closed my eyes as the warm breeze hit my face.
"Well I was thinking we could go see a movie down the road and then maybe the girls would wanna hang out back at the house."
We all agreed with this. Since the movie theater wasn't too far we decided to walk there. Thalia and Nico were ahead of Percy and I. They were talking about what movie to see. While Thalia was talking about the newest scary movie Nico slipped his hand into hers and intertwined their fingers. Thalia immediately stopped talking and stared down at their hands with red cheeks. Nico smiled at her and continued their conversation. Welp I'm going to get an earful about Nico tonight. Percy and I were behind them just watching. No words were exchanged between us. I preferred it this way. Then Percy broke the beautiful silence.
"You know you still never told me your name."
I was ready to slap this boy's smirk right off his face.
"Why do you want to know so badly?"
"Well your my best friend and my brother are going to be dating by the looks of it so we'll be seeing each other a lot more."
Damn him that's a good point.
"Annabeth…My name is Annabeth Chase."
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." I flinched at the word beautiful. No guy has ever called me that. Luke only said I was very pretty, which is nice, but he never said beautiful. I wasn't sure what to say.
"Shut up."
Percy chuckled beside me.
"Well Annabeth my name is Percy. Percy Jackson." He stuck his hand out. I hesitantly shook it. His huge hand completely covered my tiny one. His hands were warm.
He and I fell back into a comfortable silence. Then once again Percy disturbed it.
"You know Annabeth it's almost like were going on a double date."
I could feel my cheeks heating up.
'"We are NOT going on a double date!"
"Then what would you call what we're doing right now?"
"We're going on a….erm….outing! Yea, an outing."
"An outing?"
"Yes not a date. This is a outing."
"Whatever you say."
I didn't want to continue this awkward conversation. So I changed the subject.
"C,mon let's catch up!"
I ran until I was beside Thalia who was engrossed in her conversation with Nico. I slightly turned and looked behind me. Percy was still behind and he ad a faint smile on his face. I defiantly have strong feelings for him I just haven't decided whether they were positive or negative yet. (A\N Sorry I just had to add that in here! I thought that line was cute!) What I do know is I have a feeling this upcoming year was going to be crazy.
Percy's POV:
I watched Annabeth run ahead. She stopped beside Thalia. I saw her looking behind her. An outing. Ha sure. It's a date. I was right Annabeth is interesting. Most girls wouldn't just blow off a guy like she did. I notice her flinch when I call her beautiful. I wonder why. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Her gray eyes were absolutely stunning. I was pretty satisfied with myself not only did I get her to blush but I finally got her name! I ran and caught up. I was ready to get to know more about Annabeth Chase. But for now I'll focus on our date, um I mean "Outing."
So there was chapter 3...obviously. Tell me what you guys thought!
