Elena: Aria?!
Aria: *cough* *cough* i'm sick.
Elena: Did you just see Mean girls?
Aria: NO! i mean *cough* no...
Elena: Anyway, be a good friend and just say it already.
Aria: Fine. I don't know why are you so obsessed with me. Dear Readers, Elena881 doesn't own The Percy Jackson series or The Heroes of Olympus series. Rick does. But she totally owns this plot. So, if you want to kill her call me.
Elena: Yeah yeah they will.
Chapter 4 – Bump into Annabeth Day
Percy's POV
"Owwwww" I said when I tried getting up from the floor.
"I…. I am soooo sorry. It's just that I am really clumsy today." She said as I helped her up. I remembered those blonde curls. "Thank you. Or actually its bump-into-Annabeth-day."
"Annabeth. Sorry, I should've watched where I am going." I said grinning like an idiot. "So we meet again. Where is your prince?"
"Hey Percy! And what prince?" she asked, she is so cute. Snap out of it IDIOT!
"I meant Luke, your boyfriend." I said.
"Luke isn't my Prince." She said, like the sudden thought of Luke disgusts her. "I don't even think he is my boyfriend anymore."
"Woah, what happened?" I said as Jason started pulling me towards my locker.
"We are going to be late dumbass." He said. "Hey Annabeth? Do you want help finding your locker?" Jason asked.
"Thank you. But I don't want to disturb you guys. After all you guys are the Big Three." She said sweetly.
"You listen to our band?" I asked.
"Ofcourse! Who doesn't?" she smiled at me. "I didn't recognise you at Starbucks in the morning. Sorry about that." (I'm so sorry. Actually I wanted Percy to kind of a Celebrity. xD I want them to go to Hollywood or something. Become popular. Well that's for later, but right now Percy is a Big Celeb and Annabeth is a Big Fan. Okay?)
I was about to say something, but….
"Disturb? You don't disturb." Leo said skipping towards Annabeth. He extended his hand. "Hey! I'm Leo. And you're? Hot maybe?"
You son of Hephaestus! Stop flirting with her!
We walked towards our locker. And Annabeth found hers which happened to be next to mine. Such Luck!
"Uhhhhh no thank you. I'm Annabeth." She said laughing and then she looked towards me and Jason. "Thank you. Looks like I'll be bothering you guys more frequently."
"Anytime!" I said.
"I'm kind of a big fan. So, maybe uh…." She stuttered, and then pulled out a notebook. "Uh…. This will sound creepy and weird. But would you please sign this?" she handed me the notebook, or was it a diary. Yep, it was a diary.
"Sure." I signed it. "But you know what, because you are a friend, I'll ….. I mean we will give you a tour of our studio. Okay?"
She started jumping. "Thank you! Thank You!" she squealed. "Thank you much!"
"We?" Jason asked grinning. "Or will you?"
"Shut up." I shooed him. We were just taking out our books when.
"Looks like a good girl has a bad boyfriend. And the bad boyfriend has a bad mood today. And looks like the bad boyfriend with a bad mood is coming towards us." He said as he hid behind me and Annabeth and in front of our lockers. Why the heck is he hiding? Unless he and the stoll brothers did something. Oh. My. God.
"Leo!" I whispered in the most deadliest tone I've got. "What did you do?"
"Nothing! Except clicking pics of Rachel and Luke making out. And sending them to everyone, except you guys. Oh Yeah! Travis clicked pics of Luke and Drew making out as well. Cool right?" he said grinning.
God! How would Annabeth feel? Ugh! And now Luke is coming towards her, correction us.
"Leo… That is Annabeth's boyfriend. Show some respect." I said.
"Just hide me. And I'll do whatever you guys want. For… for a week?" he asked hopefully.
I looked towards Annabeth, who giggled and then shrugged. "Look, I just want payback. In any way I can. So, I'm okay with this, gets me another reason to beat up his ass." She said making a punching gesture in the air. I love her already.
"Ugh! Fine." I said. "But I'm telling you, you don't want Leo Valdez as your slave. Not for one single day."
He tried to bring me and Annabeth more close so he could hide properly. Our arms brushed.
Did she just… was that blushing I saw on her face?
Luke. The guy is the all-time bad boy of this school. God I hate him. Today he was wearing jeans and a white shirt. He was walking the halls like he owned them. He had Annabeth, but still kept Drew and Rachel by his sides. Such a player. They were arguing in their high pitched, bitchy voice.
Behind him his band was walking. There was Sam. He was really a great guy. He didn't have any girlfriends, but he trusted me, so I know his crush. Maia Roberts. She is the library assistant. And last time I checked Sam was on Library duty as well. Anyway, there was Andrew with his girlfriend, Bethany George. And there was John, with his girlfriend, Sarah Wood. Evil. I give you the most evil people in this whole school.
Okay. So the thing that put Luke and me into rivalry was a girl. Out of all the bloody things we could've had a fight upon, like pancakes and pizza, it was a damn girl.
Flashback
I went back to my locker, to put my books back and saw Taylor standing there, waiting. Waiting for me.
"Hey!" I said as I approached her. "Wassup? Aren't you supposed to be at cafeteria?"
She took my books and kept them inside. Closed it and pulled me for a kiss. Her lips were soft and…. And familiar. I caught hold of her waist and pushed her against the lockers. It felt good, but not good at the same time. I pulled back, panting.
"What was that for?" I asked as we moved towards the cafeteria.
"I love you." She said, holding my hand. "And I want us to have some quality time together. You at my house, today at 6. Okay?"
"Okay." I smiled.
We sat at our table. Taylor sat between me and Luke. Everyone was talking about homecoming. But not Luke and Taylor. They were staring at each other. During Lunch, Taylor never stopped talking to me. But today she was eerily quiet and kept staring at my best friend.
"Hey? What's wrong with you both?" Jason asked, poking his Sandwich.
"Nothing." They said in unison. Everyone raised their eyebrows.
I had PE next. So did the whole group. We went in to change. I took of my shirt and saw some girls squealing. I turned away and giddily thought about Taylor and our quality time together. I smiled to myself.
I was about to head out when I heard voices. I followed them to the janitor's room. Who would be here? I peeked in, and what I saw took my heart and breathe away. Well, cut out heart, because it just crumbled into million pieces.
The scene which was in action in front of me was Taylor half naked and Luke in the same state. They were making out. Actually making out, behind my back. Taylor had her top off, which was on the floor and her jeans button was open. Luke's shirt was on the floor as well. Taylor was moaning. Do hell with our quality time. I wanted to run away. Run and cry in a corner. I was about to turn away when my stupid body stumbled.
They broke apart and blinked. Taylor's bra was about to open when I said. "Holy Shit! Sorry to disturb. Just continue." I stood up and started walking towards the exit.
Luke rushed to my side. "Man, it's not what you-"
"It's not?!" I practically shouted. And Taylor who was struggling to put on her shirt, flinched backwards. She finally was able to put her shirt back on.
"Percy, just listen. I-" Taylor started.
"Listen to what? You making plans for our quality time together?" I said as I turned and started walking towards the door again.
"Bro listen to-" Luke started saying, but he has lost his chance to talk me into things.
"Don't bro me." I turned towards him, tears about to fall. "Luke I trusted you. I told you everything. You were the person who heard it first, always. If I had a problem I came to you. You even knew my crush. You knew that I loved her. Loved her more than anything else. And you were the person who set her up with me. Then why? Why her? Why me?"
"Percy, I…. I'm sorry." He started saying and for the first time ever he looked like he had nothing to say. Luke Castellan has nothing to say.
I laughed. "Sorry? Huh? That's it? And you think it will mend this heart? This friendship? This relationship?"
"Percy…." Taylor touched my shoulder. I jerked backwards.
"Don't touch me!"
I rushed outside and toward my car. I was about to get in when Luke came.
"Percy. Please, don't do this. Just liste-" he said
"Just leave me alone." I said and closed my door.
"Bro please. Wa-" he said, as I backed up.
"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted and drove in full speed. Away from him. Away from Taylor. Away from this reality that stung. Stung so hard.
Flashback over
Back to reality. Luke made his way towards us. I stood a little taller.
"Jackson and the losers." He smiled at his own joke. "Wassup? Got any more subscribers?"
"Well-" I was cut off by Thalia.
"5 million, last time I checked." Thalia said, giving him the death glare. She used to have a crush on him once. "And you know what? My fist is the same size as your ass. Wanna check?" she moved towards him.
"Uhhhh no thanks. But I don't like fighting girls." He moved backwards. But it wasn't pity that made him move, it was the fear of getting beaten up by my best friend that made him move. (Those who just love Thalia and Leo please review xD)
"Bloody loser." Thalia turned towards her locker.
"Whatever." Luke said. He turned towards us. "So, back to the point. Just tell me who clicked the pics. And then I'll leave you alone. Okay?" And then he notived Annabeth. "What…. What are you doing with them? I asked you not to speak with any of them, didn't I?"
"Really? And I asked you to be honest with me, didn't I?" Sarcasm dripping in her voice. God I just love her guts.
"Annabeth…." He started. "I told I was sorry."
"I heard that. And I forgot to tell you that, we are over." She shut her locker and started towards her class. Whoops. Not her class but away from Luke. I started after her, because why not? She is new, and hot.
"Annabeth!" Luke followed her. "Listen, you don't mean that. And by the way you are new here and you need me. You'll miss me." He laughed before admitting in a low voice. "I'll miss you."
"I don't think so. I have my books. I have my blog. I can make friends. I'm pretty social." She smiled towards herself. "And about you missing me. Uh-huh. You have them." She pointed to the girls who were now practically fighting.
"And she has me….. I mean us." I gestured towards myself and my band. "Doesn't she guys?" I asked my band.
"Of course!"
"Totally!"
"You go girl!"
"See? I can make friends." She shrugged and turned towards me. "Uhhh can you tell me where is Homeroom?"
"I'll take you. Can I see your schedule?" I took her schedule and then grinned. I looked towards her.
"What?" she asked.
I just smiled and started walking.
"Annabeth wait!" Luke called. But she waved him off.
"What is it?" she asked annoyed by my secrecy. Well it's not much of a secret.
"Nothing." I said.
"Percy!" she said and turned me around. I faced her.
"You and I have 5 out 7 classes together." I said. "Cool right?"
"Really?" She said, excited. And she seemed to be relived. Wow, maybe she does like me. Who know? "That's Amazing! Now can we go to our classes please?"
"Sure." I said as I lead the way. I turned back to see my band, following me and Annabeth. I waved at them and Thalia winked at me, grinning like an idiot. Don't tell her I called her an idiot or else I will be shipped dead to my mom.
We entered Homeroom. I took the seat in the front and Annabeth sat beside me. Jason and Piper took the seats behind us.
"Hey Annabeth! I didn't get to introduce myself." Piper said extending her hand. "Hi, I'm Piper Mclean."
"Nice to meet you." Annabeth reached for her hand and shook it.
"So, tell me Annabeth. Where are you from?" Piper asked.
"San Francisco. Well I'm originally from there. We move a lot." She answered.
"Cool. Okay this is a rush. I don't want to sound rude but we have to ask you this." Piper took in a deep breath. "Tomorrow there is a singing competition for the students who want to join the School Bands. Well, there are mainly 2 but there are more. So, would you like to you sing?"
Piper is Confident, no doubt. And she is really out spoken.
"Uh, I didn't think about joining a band. But I'm singing tomorrow." She smiled. "If any band would like to take me in, I would be glad to join it."
"That's really Awesome!" Piper squealed. What? It's not her fault to be excited about finding the band a lead singer. We need one and it's kind of her job to help find one. "We would love to take you in. But no rush. Only if you want to."
Annabeth's mouth dropped open. She was unable to speak for a moment.
"I….." she started. "I can't. I mean it's not like I don't want to. It's just that you guys are celebrities. And it's already an honour to be sitting with you and having a locker beside you. But joining your band? That's way too much. I would love to join your band! But you also have to make a decision. First hear me out and then decide. Okay?"
Piper jumped in delight. She ran for a hug towards Annabeth. I sighed in relief and looked towards Jason, who was staring at me. I smiled, and he grinned in return and winked at me. "Way to go broda!"
"Shut up!" I said in a teasing way. "Stop staring at me. You make me blush."
"I love you man!" he said and punched my arm. "I'm so happy for you. I think Annabeth wont bail on you. I don't think actually. I know that she won't."
"Me too." I whisper. I cleared my throat and said. "For that I actually have to make her my girlfriend."
"And you will." He smiled evilly.
Mrs. Bush entered and smiled at us.
"How are you all today?" she asked.
"We are okay miss!" we said in unison.
Better than okay. I am going to get this band a female lead singer.
