Chapter 3
One week has happen since I started working with Mr. Brunner and until now everything was ok. I was helping him with the classes, supporting him with things I know and keeping an eye to the students (well the three guys). But no, he has to tell me that the final mark would be an essay that will combine the content of the class. This wouldn´t be a problem but it was because he also told me that we are going to work divided and of course since he was the teacher he would take the Stoll brothers, which means that I'm going to have to help Percy. Doesn't mean that I'm going to make the essay with him, but it does mean that I have to help him if he needs it, and I know he would need my help. Since I know him, I know he is going to start his essay the day before to the limit finish, so I hope he won´t need me till the end of this class or better he won´t need me at all.
I don´t know If he wants to ask my help anyway, maybe he just ignore me. Yes that's exactly what he is going to do, because that is what he do, ignore other people feelings and go away. Oh no, I promise myself to not think about him again Why is this so difficult?
No, Annabeth you are strong enough to do this, you are passed for worse situations than this. You just have to focus your head in something else…
-Well, I think that is going to be everything for today. I want that these fifteen minutes left you take advantage of clarifying doubts for the essay – Mr. Brunner look at me smiling and pointed his head to Percy, my heart starts beating faster and my hands started to sweet. Why he has this effect on me? I sigh and began to walk in his direction trying to look like I was relaxed and didn´t care to talk to him.
-Hey Annabeth! – He told me immediately, his table was full of different papers I took one and I was surprised to see notes of the classes.
-So I have a huge doubt – he told me while I still was in shock – I have to put all the themes or can I choose one and relate?
-Yes – I replied still looking the papers.
-Mmm, yes what? Annabeth? Are you still there? – he waved a hand in front of my face taking me back to the present.
-Oh, sorry I was… thinking – I divert my eyes from his face and said:
-Yes, you could choose one theme and related it – I briefly look at him and I found him smiling at me.
-Mmm what? – I told him and came out harder that I wanted. He didn't even flinch and replied:
-I miss this you know – I just couldn´t talk just starring him, after a moment I be able to say:
-Wha-What?
-You know that thing you do. Get lost in your thoughts?
-Oh… - I didn´t know what else to say, this was the first real conversation in months and I was kind of paralyzed. Also I was very, very angry why he refers to our separation but he is talking as if nothing happened? I can't stand this. I´m trying very hard to not show him how mad I am, but he is making it very hard because can´t stop talking about the past, our past specifically. When the bell rings I stood up so fast that I send a few of his papers to the floor.
-Oh no, I'm sorry – I pick them up quickly and began to walk really fast to the door.
-Hey Annabeth hold on! – I heard Percy hastily putting the papers in her backpack - Wise Girl! Wait a minute!
At the sound of my almost forget nickname I nearly fall on my knees for the pain I went through because of these two simple words.
Memories of when we met at camp when we have twelve and my family still lives in New York, memories of when he help me to deal with my stepmom situation, when he support my decision to live far away from my dad, memories of he by my side when Thalia went to her dark places, memories of us just hanging out, and the most painful memory of all: watch him walking away from me.
I tried to hold back the tears and with a broken voice I blurted: -Don´t call me like that! - He stopped and looked at me with his sea green eyes filled with pain.
-Wh-What? Why? Annabeth… - I did my best to be calm and not look at him and said:
-You have no right to call me like that, so… Just don't do it please – I start to walking through the hallway again but he got in my way-
-We are friends Annabeth; Are we right? – His voice became lower as he finished the sentence. I took a deep breath and with my heart breaking I replied:
-No, we are not – I walked away from him and once I reached the exit doors I turn around and I took a look of him still standing there. I finally got out of school without being stopped, and immediately I could feel the heat of the sun in my skin but it didn't warm up because I was very cold inside.
OMG this chapter make my heart hurt a little, I hope you like it, and I'm sorry If I mess up with the grammar (again) jajaja If you understand Spanish then go and read it in my mother language. Again hope you like it,
Love you all, Maca.
