Title: Opposite's Attract
Genre: Romance/Friendship
Rating: T
Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Summary: Goode High School has two groups. The Rich & the Poor. Annabeth is a poor, alone girl who's life is completely messed up. Percy is a rich guy who has a life that everyone wishes they had. What happens when they're both paired up for a project? Mortals, no demigods. Rated T cause i'm paranoid.
Author's Note: I know guys! I'm a horrible person! I know I promised but I had so many things to do. You see this always seems to be my excuse but it's true. You don't know what's it like to be in a magnet school (if you do good luck :'c). Basically my school was ranked I think #5 in the best schools of the U.S. or something. Texas? I don't know whatever. I had TONS of homework, and our bus driver gave us this whole rant/speech abotu high school, college, and education. Yes, you heard, bus driver. He's a nice man. Well you don't want to hear my excuses so enjoy! I'm so sorry once again! And yes, I'm in the second book, City of Ashes, of The Mortal Instruments series. WOOP! My friend, Diana, spoiled the Sebastian part -.- (If your reading this, curse you Diana! And don't come up with your excuses!)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson characters, or the Heroes of Olympus characters. Any character that is not recognized in the books however, is my possession. I also don't own Bianca, but her personality, her look and name whatsoever comes from a show.
Chapter 7: Best Friends
Annabeth's POV
Once Percy finished bothering me, I headed to my first class.
"Why are you later Ms. Chase?" the teacher asked.
"I ran into some trash, and I just had to throw it away," I said sweetly, she didn't catch the sarcasm, wow.
Once lunch finally arrived, my hands were shaking mega-hard. As I bought my lunch I headed for our usual table in the 'Poor' section. I sat down next to Juniper who looked as nervous as me.
Bianca arrived skipping as usual singing the song 'Happy'.
"Hey Annie! Hey Juni!" she squealed as she sat down.
"Hey Bianca," I answered looking over at the lunch-room door.
"You worried about the richies plan? Don't worry everything will go on fine!" Bianca mentioned taking a bite of her salad.
Right just then, Thalia, followed by Silena, Katie, and Piper, came into the cafeteria. She glanced at me for a second and then headed for the lunch line.
Right after they bought their lunch, Thalia stopped and looked at me once more, the girls behind her.
I nodded in a approval and she smiled. She signaled the girls and they started to walk over here just as Rachel and Hazel sat down.
The cafeteria became mega silent just as they where about to cross 'The horizon'. Some people dropped the food they were eating. It was literally like a whole new species of alien was discovered or something.
As soon a Thalia entered the 'Poor' section, everyone in the cafeteria caught their breath. She walked over confidently ignoring the stares and glares, along with the girls.
Once they arrived our table smiled and made a space motioning for them to sit down. The cafeteria was still in death silence. Rachel stood up.
"It's not like mermaids were discovered! Go back to eating your lunch!" she screamed and everyone started new conversations, about us.
We all stared at each other and burst out laughing just like when Bianca had arrived.
"People can be so judgmental sometimes!" Thalia commented through the laughter.
"Okay, well phase one completed," Katie said once we finished.
"Yep, phase two is to get them to kiss for reals!" Silena mentioned smiling widely.
We all looked at her with those, what-the-fuck-are-you-talking-about looks.
She stopped smiling and frowned, "I mean, err, phase two is too walk around school with each other, there we go!" she said relieved.
Hopefully she wasn't talking about what I thought she was talking about.
"Whatever, Katie, what happened to your babies yesterday?" Juniper asked.
"Oh these?" Katie informed raising a basket with a cover on top of it. I hadn't even noticed it being so worried about them coming to sit over here.
"Yep, those," Juniper confirmed.
"Turns out, Travis' sister is a good babysitter, I don't care what Travis does as long as it doesn't hurt the babies, he's the one getting a bad grade anyways," she said as she ate some of her blueberry yogurt.
"Uhh... girls I have to show you something!" Silena smiled and raised up her hand which held gold and silver bracelets with different symbols that had the words 'Best Friends For Eternity' in each one.
"Oh my gods!" we all caught our breaths.
"Yup! There for all of you! We will be 'The Inseparable's'!" she said. "But you have to promise me one thing, we will talk about our feelings, reveal our most embarrassing secrets, and tell each other everything; not telling everyone else of course."
"We swear," we all agreed.
Silena smiled and started to give out the bracelets.
Hazel's bracelet had horses in it, Juniper's had some trees in it, Rachel's had eyes, Katie's had flowers, Thalia's had thunders, Piper's had crown's, Silena's had heels, Bianca's had smiley faces, and mine had owls.
"Love it, how did you know I like owls!" I squealed in excitement.
"Well your wise and brave like a daughter of Athena, and Athena's sacred animal is the owl, so I just assumed," Silena said smiling.
Our jaws hit the ground.
"How...? How...?" I murmured, impressed by her intelligence.
Piper snapped. "Who are you and what have you done to our Silena!?"
"Oh shut up! I like Greek okay, my darkest secret," Silena said and we all laughed in unison like true best friends.
"I love smiley faces!" Bianca squealed.
"We know," we all said and then once again laughed.
The rest of the lunch period went similar joking about things and catching up to our family problems. It felt great to finally unite like true best friends did.
RIIIING!
"Freedom!" Thalia screamed excitedly.
"Freedom of education alright, my brain is about to explode," Rachel sighed.
"Please the problem was mega easy! The terms 'atomic mass' and 'atomic weight' are used interchangeably in chemistry problems. You can use atomic weight to calculate isotopic abundance or you can find the atomic mass from the element abundance. What is so hard to understand about that!?" I screamed.
"It has words in it that's why!" they both screamed as we walked through the door.
"NNNNAAAA!" Thalia's baby cried.
"Ugh! What's wrong with this thing!" Thalia screamed in frustration.
"Give me him!" I said and yanked the baby from Thalia. "He's hungry, where's the bottle?"
Thalia handed me the bottle and I fed the baby.
"Thalia your a horrible mother you know?" I said.
"I know," she said.
"At least I don't take that class anymore," Rachel said enthusiastically.
"Your mega lucky, I'm stuck with kelp head over there," I said as I opened the door to Thalia's black convertible.
"Yup, my cousin is a kelp head, but I'm pretty sure he likes you..." Thalia teased.
"Please, and I quote "Freak-smart nerd"," I said rolling my eyes at what he used to call me.
"He had no clue! He didn't even know you, I told him he shouldn't judge," she said as she turned on the engine.
"Thanks," I told her.
"Hello? Am I invisible?" Rachel said from the back seat.
"Nope, just dumb," I said. Thalia and I laughed.
"Very funny, Annie," Rachel said. I growled at my nickname.
"Only Bianca calls me that," I snapped.
"Hey sweethearts! Blondie!" A guy, I think his name was Luke, said from outside.
I stuck my middle finger from inside the car and he laughed along with his 'buddies'.
You see, since today when I started hanging out with Thalia, Katie, Piper and Silena; he had been bothering me all day. It was like the first time he actually noticed me and now he was driving me insane!
"Dang Annie, nice punctuation," Thalia smirked.
"Seriously, what's that guys deal? He doesn't notice me for two years and suddenly he's all over me!" I exclaimed furiously.
"Maybe he likes you," Rachel teased and winked.
"Please, him? That's a big no, no," I defended.
"Yeah haven't you noticed he's a player? He's dating Drew!" Thalia said in disgust.
"Eww, bad tastes," Rachel murmured the last part and checked her phone.
"Hey have you bought a new phone yet Annie?" she asked as Thalia pulled out of the parking lot and into the road.
"Oh yeah! My phone number is..." I confirmed.
"Kay!" she said.
"Put it on my phone," Thalia mentioned.
"Kay," I said as I placed the baby back in it's basket and grabbed Thalia's phone.
"I gave it to Katie, Bianca, Juniper, Hazel, Silena, and Piper," Rachel informed from the back seat.
"Kay," I said as I typed my phone number into Thalia's phone and placed it back in it's spot.
"Hey you guys want to have a girls night out on Friday?" Thalia asked.
"Sure! I'll inform everyone!" Rachel squealed.
"Ill have to sneak out but okay," I said.
"Why do you have to sneak out over protective parents?" Thalia asked.
"Actually the opposite, they don't care; but they won't let me go out after 6 afraid I will get murdered, raped, or pregnant; they don't want to fill anything out or pay for the baby," I said carelessly.
"Wow, your life must suck," Thalia said.
"I know right? Poor thing," Rachel said from the backseat.
"I've gotten used to it," I said.
"Well, come by anytime to my house," Thalia smiled.
I smiled back as we pulled over to my house.
I got out of the car and waved goodbye.
"Bye Annie!" they both screamed and then Thalia drove away.
I opened the front door, and heard the chaos in the house. As usual, I thought.
Author's Note: Again I'm so sorry! I've just been having so much pressure on me lately! Well hopefully you like it! Still working on the surprise!
