The Hooded Half Blood Hero
Chapter 3
**Percy's POV:**
I weaved in and out of the hallways, with Annabeth's soft hand still in my grasp. When we finally arrived at her locker, where she put her books away, I looked at her patiently. She was going to start ranting in… 3-2-1-
"She's such a bitch." She started. I knew it. "I can't believe it. She called me a DUMB BLONDE! Can you fucking believe it? I am not a dumb blonde. In fact, I'm probably 2 times smarter than her. Both of those idiots, what are their names? Probably something generic and stupid anyways. And did you see her face? It was like a clown!" She shouted.
Annabeth's face was red, her hair was a little messy, and her hands were clenched into tight fists that were waving around her body. I waited patiently for her to finish spewing out mean words and comebacks that were probably too late to say.
When she finally stopped talking, she took a deep breath and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Why aren't you saying anything?" She asked me tentatively, glancing up to catch my gaze.
"I have nothing to say." I calmly replied. She frowned and fidgeted with her fingers.
"Percy, why do you have to deal with this? Why don't you just take off your hoodie and show everyone just how hot you are and-" She stopped talking immediately after hearing what she said.
I bit my lip to refrain from laughing and her cheeks went beet red. "What did you just say?" I teased, the corners of my mouth picking up uncontrollably. She blushed even more. I stepped forwards and wrapped my arms around her petite frame and rested my head on her shoulder.
"Annabeth, you don't have to worry about me okay? I feel perfectly comfortable here, and even though their words are annoying and sometimes even hurtful, I can deal with it." I whispered, "I'd rather have negative attention than attention that only has to do with my appearance."
She nodded into my back, "Okay Percy. I understand." She pulled away, "But you're going to have to take off that hoodie sometime. It's inevitable."
"What's inevitable?" I frowned at her, tilting my head in confusion. She sighed and shook her head, "A word that's too long for you to understand." She scoffed.
I pouted, "I know I'll have to take it off someday, Wise Girl. Just not now. Maybe, sometime later. You understand right?" I gazed at her and she smiled.
"Absolutely." She said and pulled me into a kiss. It was a rare occurrence that she would voluntarily kiss me like this, so I didn't miss a beat. I cupped her soft cheeks with my hands and she placed her warm hands on the nape of my neck. I sighed into the kiss. With our mouths moving in perfect sync and warmth and love exploding through me, I knew things couldn't get better than this.
She pulled away and rested her head on my forehead. "Thank you Seaweed Brain."
"Thank you Wise Girl."
"Enough of the mushy love stuff. I've got a class to go to." She said as she released me and pulled out some books from her locker.
I pouted, "Aw… and I thought you were going to stay here and kiss me all day."
Annabeth laughed, "Bye Percy." She gave me one last peck on the lips and left for her class.
**Annabeth's POV**
My next period was Art, and I was excited.
I wasn't exactly the best at art in general, but it could be one of the only exciting classes of the day.
I strolled through the hallways and arrived at the classroom. Pushing open the door, I observed the art room. It was very spacious, and had supplies and trolleys scattered all over the room.
I stepped in the classroom and noticed a couple students already seated at the art desks.
"You must be Ms. Annabeth Chase!" A man's voice said. I turned towards him and saw a middle-aged good-looking man. His arms were spread widely and he had a gigantic warm smile on his face.
"Yes! I am!" I said and shook his awaiting hand.
"My name is Mr. Robinson. You can take a seat at the back. Unfortunately, there are not many students in this class. But nevertheless, it's still very fun!" He said a little sadly.
I smiled at him and strolled over to an open seat at the back of the room. After a while, a blond boy sauntered in and plopped in the wooden seat next to mine.
When class started, I noticed that there were only 8 people in the class. That was quite appalling, that no-one would want to attend art.
Mr. Robinson was a great teacher. I could tell he was passionate about the subject, and he really enjoyed teaching. We practiced shading techniques, lighting and some other unit basics.
During a worksheet assignment, I spotted in the corner of my eye the blond boy lean a little closer to me.
"Hey, I'm Harry. What's your name?" He asked me. I smiled at him.
"I'm Annabeth." I said and he seemed shocked.
"So you're the new girl! No wonder I didn't recognize you!" He exclaimed, and gave me a toothy grin, "Well, welcome to Goode High School!"
**Harry's POV**
When I heard about Annabeth Chase, the new girl in the school that was 'dating' Percy Jackson, I had expected her to be another one of his 'kind'. Mysterious, potential of being dangerous, emo-ish…
But the girl that I was looking at now is the complete opposite of what I had expected her to be. She's tall, fit, and has a natural California-girl tan. She has beautiful golden locks and beautiful grey eyes. She's beautiful…
I didn't understand how she could like or date a guy like Percy. Someone as reserved, someone as mysterious and dangerous as Percy. He wasn't good enough for her.
And as I talked to her more, I realised that this girl was too good to be true. She was smart, she was athletic, she was beautiful… Percy didn't deserve her.
"So, why'd you join art?" I asked her as I finished up the touches for my shading section.
"I really love architecture. I guess that's the main reason I guess. I'm doing High Level Architecture though. I think it's just because I've always liked art and it seems quite fun." She replied thoughtfully and I nodded, agreeing to what she was saying.
Now that I thought about it, it couldn't be possible she was dating Percy Jackson. She was too good for him, and she was way out of his league. It couldn't be possible.
But right at that moment, I was proven wrong.
I watched, shocked, as Percy Jackson walked in. With all his grey oversized hoodie glory. He strolled right past Mr. Robinson, who looked confused, and straight to Annabeth.
Annabeth hadn't seen him yet, she was too absorbed in her shading.
He crouched down next to her and tapped her lightly on the shoulder. She jumped slightly and yelped, causing me to chuckle.
I observed from the corner of my eye as Percy leaned in to whisper something in her ear. Her eyes widened and she bit her lip in somewhat of a nervous gesture. I watched as they exchanged a couple of words, which I couldn't make out, and then both stood up.
My eyebrows furrowed, where were they going? Was Percy dragging Annabeth into one of those stupid, emo fight things? Or was that not what emos did?
The pair walked over to Mr. Robinson's desk, and Annabeth told him something. Whatever it was, it was either very urgent or a good excuse. Mr. Robinson frowned but nodded reluctantly, therefore dismissing the two from the classroom.
Right before the two exited the classroom, I saw something that made me angry.
Percy took ahold of Annabeth's hand.
Yup, I was jealous.
A/N:
Hey guys! So sorry for the filler chapter :P Thanks for all who reviewed, favorited and followed. It means so much to me! I feel slightly discouraged that I don't have as many reviews/favs/follows as I had for the first 3 chapters that I posted on my other account (A WHOPPING 121 REVIEWS! FOR 3 CHAPTERS!) But that's okay, because I understand this is a new story... such and such.
Anyways, I'm going to update Chapter 4 super quick. Maybe by tonight [which is in a couple hours] or the next morning. In the future, I think I might establish a upload deadline/goal/time thing idk :P
I have most of the story constructed and planned out, but if you want some specific action or request please do review / priv message me! I'll try my hardest to incorporate it into the story. And if it's not possible, I might just do a one-shot. And if you like my writing style or smth, you can give me a ship (Eg. Caleo) and I might just write a one-shot on it. IDK only if I feel like it and get an idea. So you can give me a topic to write about too :P
So thanks for reading! Please review, favourite and follow if you haven't already :P But please, if its a hassle to review, just give me a 'Awesome' or 'Great' and that'll make my day :)
Peace out! -Chrissy
