The Foster
Chapter 7
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I talked to Luke for most of the party. To my surprise he was actually pretty nice, most of the people I meet at the schools I go to are jerks. We talked about favorite bands, songs, colors, anything really and to my surprise we have a lot in common.
I noticed a few times during the night that Percy was looking at us or maybe it was just me but, it was still uncomfortable. I did my best to ignore it and just continue to talk but that's kind of hard when you know that someone is looking at you.
I looked at the clock on the wall, it was 9:15 and I have to be back for 9:30.
"Hey Luke, I'll talk to you later I have to get back home," I told him.
"Okay, I had fun tonight we should do it again soon," He said.
"Sure, that sounds like fun," I said with a smile as I turned to walk out of the house. I can't belive it I just got asked out by Luke.
I walked enjoying the silence for a while, that was until I heard foot steps behind me.
"Hey Annabeth," Percy said when he was next to me. "What are you so smily about?"
"It isn't really any off your business ," I told him.
"Does it have to do with Luke?" He asked.
"Why would you ask that?" I questioned.
"I saw you with him tonight, Is he why you look so happy?"
"Why do you even care, what's with the new interest in me, I thought you didn't like me?" I said
"Because I just don't want to see anyone get played by Luke again," He said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"He has a reputation," He answered, not like it really helped.
"What kind of reputation?" I asked getting slightly annoyed.
"He cheated on a number of girls one of them being Thalia," He said.
"That doesn't mean he'll do it again," I said not sure why I really wanted to stick up for him.
"Think what you want, I'm just trying to help you out," He said putting his arms up in surrender.
"Just a question, why are you trying to warn me about him?" I ask.
"I just don't want to see you get hurt," He said and then walked up the steps of the house that I didn't realize we reached. I just stood there for a second surprised at what he said. I quickly got myself together and went inside and up to my room.
The grey walls were somewhat soothing. I laid down on my bed and put my hands over my eyes. Ugh why do boys have to be so confusing. Why did Percy not want to see me get hurt when just weeks ago he hated me. So what if Luke cheated on Thalia it doesn't mean he'll cheat on me. I probably laid on my bed for a good hour before I finally gave up on trying to figure out what happened tonight. I got into my PJ's and went to bed quickly ready for a probably equally confusing day.
I got up in the morning and quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and a light green T-shirt. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Everyone was in the room when I walked in.
"Good morning," I said and went to get some cereal. No one really answered and I really didn't expect them to, I just at down and ate my cereal.
I quickly finished my breakfast and put my bowl in the sink before getting my bag and walking out the door to school. The walk was quite peaceful, with no one to talk to I just thought about last night. I still couldn't understand why Percy doesn't want to see me get hurt when he has shown no signs of being a friend to me. Somethings will just never get an answer I decided that this is one of them.
I walked up the steps of the school and found Reyna leaning on the wall, face buried in a book.
"Hey Reyna," I said walking up to her. She looked like she was going to say something but before she could two boys with brown hair came running out of the school followed by a girl with brown hair and green eyes, she looked furious. "Who are they?" I ask.
"Conner and Travis Stoll, they pull pranks on everyone so, watch out for them. The girl following them is Katie Gardener, they pull pranks on her the most." Reyna answered.
"Okay," I said and I started to walk inside. I got to my locker quickly hoping not to see Luke until later today. Of course it didn't work like that and he walked up just as I was about to leave.
"Hey," He said leaning on his locker.
"Hey, how's it going?" I ask.
"Good, you?" He asked.
"Great," I said. He was about to say something but luckily the bell rang preventing more of this awkward conversation. "I have to get to class."
I walked down the hall mentally scolding myself for making that so awkward but, I kept thinking about how Percy said he cheated on many girls. I just couldn't get it out of my mind.
