Chapter 9 Friday
I was walking down the hallway to get to lunch. I had just realized why he wanted us to watch a movie. It was his birthday. I can't believe I forgot. I only found out when Amanda reminded me yesterday, asking me what I was going to give Matt for his birthday.
Apparently Amanda, Cath, Shannon, and Nick all can't go so it's just me, Percy and Matt. As I went to my locker to grab my lunch, I heard two voices, one sounded like Percys and the other's was...Matt?
I don't usually eavesdrop and I was going to walk by but then I heard my name.
"-she does not." stated Percy, sounding pretty angry.
"Well, she certainly doesn't like you." retorted Matt back, though he sounded pretty angry, it seemed like Percy was much more mad.
He was at least half a head taller than Matt and it looked like he wanted to cut off Matt's head.
I was getting pretty confused on what they were talking about.
"I can go if I want to because it was your suggestion to invite me in the first place." Percy said, raising his voice.
"You don't just eavesdrop on someone else's conversation! Whatever, now I'm disinviting you. If you even dare to come, I'll kill you."
"Okay fine, I bet I'll win a duel with you." Percy said, drawing a pen from his front pocket.
"Ha. ha. I'm so scared of a pen."
"Meet Riptide." He said with braveness as he uncapped the pen.
To his and my surprise, nothing happened.
I put on my Yankees cap as I snuck over to them, taking a better look at the pen. It was clearly just a regular pen not Riptide.
Matt was scoffing while Percy had just realized he drew out a regular pen.
I forgot that I was supposed to be silent and when I saw Percy's face growing red with embarassment, I bursted out with laughter. Percy and Matt's face suddenly was filled with confusion. Percy reached out at the noise and took my Yankees cap off while Matt still have a confused look.
"Annabeth! Don't eavesdrop!" exclaimed Percy, his face slowly returning to his normal color.
"Hey, you eavesdropped too!" I retorted at him, trying to stifle my laughter.
"Yeah, I mean everyone eavesdrop, like I did a few days ago when you and-I mean E-everybody eavesdrops."
I looked at Matt suspiciously and rattled my brain for a fews days ago if I was saying things important enough for Matt to eavesdrop.
Percy's voice broke me from my thoughts. "Where were we before Annabeth interrupted us?" he said turning to Matt while drawing Riptide out for sure this time.
As it grew to a full celestial bronze sword, Matt tried to keep the scared look off his face as he brought out a knife and bow and arrows appeared on his shoulder.
"Hey hey, stop that. Percy, don't be rude, it's Matt's birthday today!" I scolded as I stepped in between them. Neither of them put their weapons down. "Fine, if you guys want to fight, you'll have to kill me first."
At those words, they both put their weapons back.
"Okay, since that's settled, are we still going to the movies?"
"Yeah of course." Percy said quickly, cutting Matt off.
"Great I'll see you guys later then!" I said, retreating from them and getting my lunch. I heard footsteps behind me as Matt caught up with me.
"Annabeth, let's go to lunch together!"
"Okay, sure. Why not." I replied, closing my locker door to find Percy standing there behind the door. I was so freaked out that I jumped up and lost my balance. I felt two strong hands pull me into their hold.
I looked up to find Percy staring down at me with concern in his eyes. I stood up straight as quickly as I could and backed up. I noticed Matt standing there, shooting dagger eyes at Percy.
Trying to calm them down, I pushed them both toward the cafeteria. They both relaxed after a while and when we reached our lunch table, Amanda, Shannon and Cath waved at us. There were exactly 3 seats left: one bench for two people and a seat next to Cath.
"Annabeth, come on, let's sit together." Matt asked me while pulling my wrist toward the bench.
Noticing Percy's angry face, I replied, "It's okay, I'll sit with Cath." I walked towards the empty seat next to Cath when I felt someone pull me down onto the bench. It was Percy.
"What the heck Percy? You don't just pull someone into a seat!" I said, getting up.
He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and kept me down, not letting me get up.
"Fine! I'll sit! Just keep your hands to yourself!" I said angrily, even though my heartbeat was already increasing from his touch. I saw Matt sit down next to Cath smoking with anger and smiled an apologetic smile at him. He returned the smile though I swear I can see him glaring at Percy. Lunch quickly went by as all of them talked, excluding Percy and Matt who just gave each other glares.
After all of my afternoon periods, I met cath outside and was talking to her about the stupid history project I had to do with Percy.
She looked symphatheticly at me and nodded at something behind me. I turned around and saw that it was her boyfriend, Kris, son of Ares. He was an extremely nice guy even though he might be a son of the war god.
I looked at Cath and said, "You can go, I'll have to walk home now anyways to get ready for the movies."
"Okay Annabeth, don't forget to get a gift for Matt!" she exclaimed as she walked towards Kris.
I cursed in Ancient Greek as I was once again reminded of the gift. I was supposed to go out at lunch and grab it but I had totally forgotten.
"Annabeth!" I heard Matt yell my name and I turned around.
"Hi Matt, I'm sooo sorry, I forgot to get you a present."
"It's okay. I have a great idea of a present from you to me."
I was thinking of what it might be when I felt lips against mine.
Before I even had time to react, Matt had already pulled away from the kiss and was leaving, "Thanks for the gift! See you later!" I was standing there in shock. Anger built up inside of me.
Matt kissed me without asking me! Oh well, it's his birthday, I'll deal with him later, I had to get home and finish my homework before I could go.
