The Other Side of Me
I'm here again! Maybe this chapter will be a little rush and short, but maybe I will add length to it tomorrow as I gotta sleep in twenty-four minutes.
Yamililly: 'Course, I'll update more often, and you can check out my other stories as they are good too!
Liz77: Thanks for thinking that it's amazing! That means a ton to me! Wow! Never any one offer me to help and write their story! I'll be honored! Of course I will give you the credit, I mean the idea is yours! I won't steal it! PM me for more details, plz?
Cutlle: Wow! And I though my writing are not good enough! Ya know, Language Arts is not something that I'm particular good at, in fact, I used to hate it, except that I love writing.
Anime-lover10: Yep, you'll find out soon.
Bernadette: So I'm writing now, but know this, she didn't know he's a god yet. Total cliff hanger that's why I'm so eager to write!
Myla Star: Thx! So I'm updating now! And possibly tomorrow!
Oops! Gotta Hide!
That rang a major uh-oh in my heart. Aren't she suppose to go to that boarding school of hers, and like visit me during Christmas? What is she doing here? And I can't imagine what she'll do when she found out who I am, more accurately, what I am now.
"Annabeth? I breathed out, as I tried to get the glow out of me as much as I could, and she didn't seem surprise when she saw me at all. Like she was expecting this.
"See what I mean when I said I'll see you very soon? I don't suppose you think that's until Christmas now do you?"
"Uhhh…" Was all I could managed. Yeah, real intelligence, when you're the world's most important being.
"Same old Seaweed Brain… Anyway, I was wanting to save the money of going off to a boarding school, so I lived with relatives from dad's side of family… And after that, I got in Goode, as I remembered that you mentioned it last time." Annabeth said that all in one breath, good, same old Wise Girl, only that I wasn't the same old seaweed brain any more. "Say, Percy, are you glowing? Or is it the lights?"
"Must be the lights…" I muttered, deep down, I cursed for her noticing something different about me.
As the teacher came in, she quickly slipped into the seat beside me, and the teacher introduced her, as the class started. I snapped my fingers as I skipped that particular time period directly to the time where the class finished and I got to talk to Annabeth again. Convenient.
A/N: Okay, I'm back! Though I'm sorry for not updating earlier and make you all eager and stuff, so here we go!
"So, uh, Annabeth! What do you have next?"
"Latin."
"Oh! Really, me too!" I was acting innocent, but deep down, I'm thinking frantically for a cover story in case she found out something fishy. "So uh, are attending Goode for rest of the year?"
"Yep, I'm going to finish high school here, so it's like two more years. Isn't that great? Now you can see me every day! And I've heard that they got an architecture class next year, I can attend that…" And she babbled on with random architecture facts and the temples she was designing for the gods. I was just trying to act normal. Guess it's hard, even as a demigod, life was never normal.
"…I was finishing the Big Three's temples ya know. But my mother called me to Olympus yesterday and said that there were a new god, Lord of the Time, I wonder who that will be… Do you have any idea?" And that snapped me off my trance, and caught my attention.
"Not really, Annabeth. How would a Seaweed Brain like me know anything? Besides, you got called to Olympus far more than me, Wise Girl, the official architect of Olympus!" Annabeth, you have no idea, my little conscious' voice said.
Annabeth blushed a little at my compliment, "Oh com'on, Perce, stop with that already."
With that, we went to the Latin class, and well, easy for me. And that's pretty much how the rest of the day went, we talked about what we did in the past three months, and I was trying my best to keep my little secret—or perhaps the world's largest secret. I'm glad finding out that my powers toward the water didn't decrease in swimming, good, because or else I'll really miss it. Also, Annabeth told me how Athena won't tell her the new god's name, frankly, me, and how she was going to build the palace on top of times square. I just couldn't be more happy that she's here and good as new, but sad at the sometime thinking of her reaction when she found out about me.
So now, two months passed, and we are in winter break. I went to the movies with her, and tomorrow will be the winter solstice. If I don't tell her how I feel about her now, I don't think I will ever get another chance.
"So, uh, Annabeth, are you going to the Olympus tomorrow?"
Please say no, please! I will pay anything just to get you not to discover who I am. "Of course! I didn't miss a year going on Olympus in winter solstice since I'm seven! As the architect, I can take different ideas from different gods and design their temples! And aren't you coming too? Aren't you just about as eager as I am to see the new god? Heard that he was great…" Oh great, now, she'll pay extra attention to the 'new god', just another thing I need. And of course I'm going, jeez, I must go, just not her way.
"Yeah, Annabeth, but I can't go with you. I think I'll meet you there…"
"That's okay Percy, take your time. But I'll be there as early as possible. Winter solstice got way more gods attend than the summer one. Hades' gonna be there too!"
"And Annabeth… Know that whatever happens, I… I uh… Li—" Her lips curled at the very end. "You're laughing at me!"
"Seaweed Brain, remember five months ago I told you that I won't make things easy for ya?" She said as she pulled close to me. "Yeah, and you were the only thing tied me to the mortal life. I… I love you. Remember that, no matter what happens."
"Were?" She raised her eyebrows, once a Wise Girl, always a Wise Girl.
"Uh, are. You are the only thing tied me to the mortal life. There."
With the happy note, we left apart, and she said she will try and find me tomorrow. Hope it's not in THAT way.
This chapter is not too good too, but oh well. Next chapter, as you can guess, of course, Annabeth will know who he is. Hopefully she won't freak out… Believe me, you won't. Well, guess this is for this chapter right now. And oh, I need a Beta reader. Pwease? I'm in need for that, and being my beta reader, I've got tons of good ideas and I can share it with ya. The main improvement needed for my story is grammar, just so ya know. 'kay, until next time, stay tuned!
