HEY HEY! I'm back, finally! I'm super excited and hope you enjoy this chapter. It's been a pretty long time since I've updated this, but, hopefully it'll happen more often. It'll also happen very sporadically because I have a pretty busy schedule. So yay!
From previous:
I waited as I heard the shower water running and wanted to ask her what this was all about. Then the door opened, and I sat up to ask her what she had changed my password to.
But it wasn't Piper.
It was Jason. I almost screamed, but then I remembered the dream I had last night. I immediately drew the covers over much to his dismay.
"Yeah… you're acting really weird. What's up?" Jason's eyes pierced hers - er his, as many would say. (A/N when I refer to Annabeth, she'll be a girl but in Percy's body)
"Nah bro, nothin' is up. Just' tired an' I'm kiddin'." I smiled awkwardly and wondered if that was how Percy talked. Hopefully. Jason looked at me weirdly but kept up with his morning routine. I looked at the clock and almost jumped out of my bed. It was 7:45! 7! 45! I never woke up at 7:45! My OCD was kicking into gear, but I knew that Percy wouldn't be stressed about waking up at 7:45. After all, even Jason had said that it was way early for him. Wait! If I was in Percy's body, whose body was he in? Mine?!
I forced myself to get out of bed slowly, ignoring the stinky smell of the boys' room. The room was littered with clothes, pizza boxes and A LOT of candy bar wrappers. I thought Percy was an athlete!
OH SHOOT! PERCY IS AN ATHLETE. HE SWIMS. HE HAS A MEET TOMORROW. AGHOAUGRHBROVBRAOUEGBVJAERGUHO! HOW DO I SWIM?
While I was quietly freaking out in my head, I went in the bathroom to change out of Percy's pajamas. (Which got a weird look from Jason). I'll leave the other details to myself.
As soon as it was time that Percy would normally go eat breakfast, I "rushed" percy-style to the cafeteria and looked for his - ahem - my face. I wonder what I looked like today and if Percy had told Piper - or if she had figured out. She could always use her charm-speak to get anyone to tell her anything which is why she was the gossip queen of the school.
Even though it was still me, Annabeth, it seemed like I had grown another stomach overnight. Now I knew why Percy was like a bottomless pit! My tastes had not grown like his, but to keep everyone at ease, I needed to get all the blue foods in the cafeteria. No one really knew why he liked blue food so much besides me. He's confided to me in so many things that everyone else knows nothing about. I piled my plate high with blueberries, blueberry pancakes and anything else I could find that was blue in the cafeteria. I didn't really pay attention to what Percy ate at breakfast but I knew it was blue. Then, Annabeth came over next to me - er, I guess Percy in Annabeth's body.
I? Went through the buffet picking some things out and went over to Piper's table. Oh lord. If Percy messed something up with any of the girls at that table, I was in serious trouble. But right now I needed to focus on making conversation with Percy's friends…
"Yo wassup. Y'all gonna go to class soon?" This got me really weird looks at the table as I looked around at everyone. Wait Coach Hedge sits with them?
I laughed awkwardly and said that I was just joking. After that, I just stopped talking and listening and focused on wondering how the heck Percy and I were going to live like this. I mean, we had tests. Like five finals today! And I wasn't going to take the test for him! That's just a waste of my hard work. Not saying that Percy is stupid, it's just that his grades are not really close to mine so it'd be pretty sad.
After breakfast, I walked over to "Annabeth" while all the other boys sitting at Percy's old table were snickering and pushing each other around. When I tapped Percy (a/n when i say percy, i mean percy in annabeth's body and vice versa) on the shoulder, his eyes widened as if to say "you're finally here and I'm freaking out!".
I pulled him out of the cafeteria and got dirty looks from Piper. Whoops! Now everyone thinks I'm manhandling "Annabeth" when it's really vice versa… I shot a look at Percy silently telling him to pull me instead and he did just that. I guess he's better picking up on clues when we're in each others bodies… gross.
"What the heck happened and why are we in each other's bodies?" Percy was handling it quite well as it looked on the outside but I could tell that he was on the verge of losing it.
"I don't know, but I got a dream or something from Aphrodite before the happened and she was just being… Aphrodite?" Percy rolled his eyes. Wow, my eyes were really cool in Percy's body! They were grayish-blue. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating but they had a hint of blue? At least? Ok, we're getting too far from the problem at hand.
"Well I mean, I got one too and she was being normal. She just wanted to check in on me, I guess?" Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. Such a hypocrite, Jackson, really. Then, Luke walked by us with his boy group or whatever you would call it. Hardly a group… Jason, Nico, Leo, Frank and Percy were more like it. And I guess Grover, but he moved over a year ago.
Luke glared at Percy and gave him a look as if to say "I'll talk to you later". Now it was really weird for me. I was his girlfriend and I had to witness him being territorial about Percy? Yeah, it might sound cheesy, but I was happy. I was finally happy. There was now no Luke for me to deal with and to drag me to dates and stuff, and I was really stoked to hang out with Jason. I had a really unique relationship with the guy. Sure, he might rival Percy at a couple of things and they get mad and competitive but he was the person I confided in during problems like wanting to actually be able to go to parties with the others. But no, I needed to focus on my goals.
Percy pulled me to his an Jason's room and waited for me to get the key out because it would look weird if he was the one getting the key out. The other guys walking by gave us snarky looks when they noticed it was me making us go into his room. I didn't really care either way, this was a worse problem that needed to be handled.
"We need to contact Aphrodite." Percy Jackson, the genius huh?
"No duh you idiot. How are we supposed to do that then?"
"Piper?"
"Are you stupid Jackson? Piper hates her mom!"
"Drew?"
And with that, I stormed out of the room.
