Chapter 4
Annabeth's POV
I woke up with a start. I got up and had a bath. I had my breakfast and soon was out of the house. My house was a double floored house. It was big but not like a mansion. I had forgotten everything about Percy and the notes and everything. I met Thalia in the park, waiting for me. Luckily, we were early so we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Drew. We met Leo, Piper and Jason in the park only and started to walk towards Nico who was standing in front of the school building. Within a distance, we saw Percy join Nico and waved towards us but when he looked at me, he kind of glared at me but I returned it with a better glare. We reached them and exchanged our greetings then headed towards Starbucks. I went with them grudgingly after being persuaded or should I say forced me into coming with them and especially with him.
Percy's POV
I woke up with my alarm clock screaming in my ears. I got up very excited because of the swim tryouts which were going to held but were shot lasted as I remembered that Annabeth was also going to be there. I would not have come for the swim tryouts but it was SWIMMING and no way I was going to miss an opportunity like that. I got refreshed and had a bath. Before wasting another second, I was out of the house. I started walking towards the school and met Nico. We waved towards our friends but I gave a glare to Annabeth which she returned with another glare. We were going to Starbucks and sadly for Annabeth she was forced to come to Starbucks.
We went to school afterwards and headed towards our classes.
(DAY SKIP. MOVING ON TO THE SWIM TRYOUTS)
Finally the hour of the tryouts arrive. I speed towards the swimming pool and went to the changing room. I came out to see that there were seven guys for the tryouts and nine girls. I noticed Annabeth talking to some girl and noticed me staring at her. She glared at me which I was now used to but instead of glaring at her I smirked. She had a confused face for a split of a second then returned to talk to her friend. The tryouts were starting any moment. Coach Hedge came in and blew his whistle, also practically tearing our ears out.
"ALRIGHT CUPCAKES, time to show what is in you. The boys will go first. Boys line up." Coach shouted.
We guys lined up and got in our positions. I stole a glance at Annabeth. She was laughing and Gods she looked beautiful. Why couldn't she behave like this when I was around? Does she have to glare every time. I turned my attention towards the coach now. He blew the whistle and I dived into the water dissolving in the water's flow. It was no surprise that I came first. I looked over the girls who were drooling over me then I looked over Annabeth who had a frown on her face and her face was like as she was deciding something.
Coach looked into his folder which was in green color with intricate designs decorated over it. Then he announce,
"You all boys have done well especially Percy Jackson who has set the new record after beating the one made by Annabeth Chase. The new record is 14.5 seconds. Well done Percy!"
I looked over Annabeth who had a very confused face. She looks at me then the pool, I guess its a lot to take in, defeated by your own enemy.
"Alright GIRLS, line up." Now lets see how fast Annabeth is.
The coach blew the whistle and all the girls dived in the water. I noticed Annabeth's flawless movements. She was fast and I had to admit that. She came first in the girls group but lets see how much time she had taken.
"Wow, that was very impressive cupcakes. Annabeth Chase has met the match of Percy Jackson an the time taken by her is 14.5 seconds."
Oh My Gods! What was I hearing? Did Annabeth just equal my score and nobody does that. I glared at her and she returned my glare. Wow just wow.
Annabeth's POV
How the Hades could this happen? First he broke my record and now I have equaled his record. What is happening? Why couldn't be one millisecond more? I glanced at Jackson and saw that he was glaring at me and I happily returned his glare. Then the coach said,
"Annabeth Chase is selected for the Regionals from the girls group and Percy Jackson from the boys group. So good luck. You will be practicing at different times so that I can pay better attention to your mistakes and flaws." I sighed in relief at least I wouldn't be practicing with him. And I was excited for the Regionals so that didn't matter so much now. The boys and girls went to their respective changing rooms and then went to our respective homes.
