HEY! It's been wayyyy too long since I updated this story and I'm so sorry. The week before Winter Break is always super hectic, and I just got some free time. I cranked this one out at three in the morning for you guys, so it's a little bit on the shorter side. I think it's good, though. Either way, R&R! Love you guys as always!
I was walking down the hallway in school when I heard yelling. I thought a student might be getting in trouble with a teacher, so I walked quicker. I reached a loud crowd, and after pushing my way through, I saw my friend and his girlfriend in the center of it. Everyone was watching them like the show they were putting on was better than tv. I realized they were the ones yelling.
"Percy-I don't care what you were trying to say! It was INSULTING!" Annabeth Chase screamed at her boyfriend, my friend, Percy Jackson.
"It wasn't meant to be insulting! It was supposed to be a compliment!" he defended himself.
I looked at the kid next to me, and found it was Grover Underwood. He was Percy's best friend from his summer camp. He had started attending soon after Annabeth did about a week ago.
"Are they going to break up?" I asked quietly.
Grover lightly laughed and informed me, "Oh, they fight all the time. It's best to let it run it's course. In a couple minutes they'll start swearing at each other in Greek, and then they make up and they're fine. Actually, they're most romantic when they're fighting."
"Seriously?" I questioned in disbelief.
"Yeah. Their first kiss was during a fight."
"Woah," I muttered softly to myself. We both turned our attention back to the warring couple.
"Perseus Jackson! Saying you like me blonde is like calling me dumb! I always say how much I hate my hair. Why would uou compliment it?!" Annabeth sounded furious.
"Because I love it! It makes you you. It lets you prove people wrong, and that makes your smartness even more noticeable."
"Smartness isn't a word."
"Why do you always have to correct me? Okay, I get it, I'm not as smart as you. You don't have to rub it in!"
"Here we go again. Percy, you know I can't help it! I think it's adorable that you always make up words. It's one of your cutest qualities. But it's my mom's side of me that can't help but correct it."
"Well it's still irritating! I swear, sometimes I wish you were an Aprodite kid."
What the heck is an Aphrodite kid?
"Oh, now I'm not pretty enough?! You know what?" then Annabeth started saying things in another language and Grover started giggling next to me.
I turned to him and said, "You can understand her?"
"Oh, sure," he replied with a wave of his hand, "she's saying some pretty mean stuff."
"Then why are you laughing?"
"Because I know she doesn't mean it. They love each other. I'm sure they'll get married soon, I know Percy's already considered it."
"Woah!" I exclaimed, shocked, "How do you know?"
"Oh-I-uh-he told me?" it came out more as a question when he said it but I let it slide. I was more preoccupied with what was happening in front of me.
Percy and Annabeth were stepping closer and closer with each word, until they were nose to nose.
Grover rubbed his hands together maniacally, "Here it comes!" he whispered.
With one quick movement, Percy quickly wrapped his hand around Annabeth's waist and kissed her.
She pulled away but laughed and hugged him.
"Love you," she said with a smile.
"Love you too," he said little laugh.
"Of course! Who wouldn't love me?" she mocked.
Grover laughed and they blushed at the sight of their crowd. Grover and I shooed the onlookers away before Percy and Annabeth could die of embarrassment.
"Did they see the whole thing?" Annabeth asked nervously.
"Yup!" Grover told her with an evil smile.
"Thank the gods it wasn't a bad one!" Percy said in a relieved tone of voice.
"That wasn't a bad one?" I demanded.
"No, of course not, that was a tiny one!" Grover laughed.
"I don't think I wanna see a big one..."
THE END!
