Annabeth
The rest of the day went with no further incident, and I drove home to have some down time before dad get's home. School is always busy for me, and I can't believe the day went by so fast. I get home, and find another car in the drive way next to dad's. Strange, he told me he normally doesn't get home till late.
"I know Poseidon. But the fact is that the oceans are becoming more acidic due to the rising carbon dioxide levels. Can we do something here to bring big businesses to justice, or at least shame them into trying harder?" Oh, Poseidon must be a lawyer.
"Well Fredrick, we can put a lawsuit on them, but they have better lawyers. Who don't play nice either, I might add. But we can try to lure them into a confession in court I guess." I hear him reply as I walk through the door.
"That you Annabeth?" Dad asks.
"Yeah dad!" I shout, heading for the front room. As I get there, I notice two things. One is I failed to notice all the art work of sunsets, oceans, and much more. It really brightens up the room. The other is I notice Percy sitting next to Poseidon. He notices me and stiffens immediately.
"Annabeth, this is Poseidon Jackson. A good friend of mine. He's a lawyer and a marine biologist. And you've meet Percy, I'm sure." He says. I nod, making sure not to stare at Percy.
"Poseidon and I are trying to work on a little project to get big company's to be more concerned about the environment. It not only destroys the oceans and forests, but also historical monuments." Dad says, still looking at maps and charts on the table. I nod, still trying not to look at Percy.
"Well, I'm heading up stairs dad. See you around. Nice meeting you Poseidon." I say, trying to avoid being in the same room as Percy.
"Oh, Percy also mentioned needing a study partner today. I said you would be glad to." Great, so much for my plan to wait till they go. Percy gets up, an apologetic smile on his face. I motion him to follow me upstairs and he dose. I love my dad, but he thinks with out actually thinking.
"So, what subject did you need to study?" I ask as we get into my room. He looks around before speaking.
"I don't really need a study partner. I lied so I could tell you something." It maybe something bad, but I still can't help my heart speeding up.
"Look, it would be best for you if you just try to stay away from me, okay? I'm not what you think I am." He said, almost forcefully. Wait, is he telling me to stay away from him? I don't understand.
"What do you mean?" I ask. He chuckles, and I know I'll hear that in my sleep tonight.
"It means what it means. Stay away from me is the harsh way of saying it. All I'm saying is that if your smart, you should stay away from me. I'm not like I seem, alright?" No, it's not alright because I still don't understand. Before I can say that though, he leaves. Wow, I'm so confused right now.
Made a few changes. Didn't like the way I wrote some parts. R&R
