Hello Rebels! I am here with Invisible: Apparently Not chapter Nine! I hope you like it!
Recap:
I walk to the library, and as I pass the cafeteria doors, I hear them slam open, causing me to jump, and turn towards them. I look to the source of the sound, and my eyes widen in surprise. I turn around, hoping that no one saw me. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.
"Why, hello. Why don't we have some fun?"
Percy's Point of View
When my third period class finishes up, I rush to the cafeteria, eager to get some food in me. I slam the doors open, and rush to the lunch line. I quickly get a tray of nachos, kettle corn, pears, a can of Fruit Punch flavored Switch, and pay for it. I calmly, much to the rest of my lunch period, walk to the table the group always sits, and sit down. I eat my lunch, not bothering to wait for the others.
As soon as I start on my corn, Leo plops down next to me. Leo is a scrawny boy, but he is really fast. In fact, he almost beat me in PE once, last year. Leo's father owns a mechanic shop, where I work on weekends. Leo, however, works there every day. Not because he's forced to, or because it's his father's shop, but because he wants to. Leo is a whiz at anything that has to do with mechanic parts, and wires, or basically anything that has to do with building. He once fixed my car when I couldn't.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask, mouth full of corn.
"Okay, first of all, don't talk with your mouth full of food. Second of all, I'm fine. Third of all, where is everybody else?"
"I don't really know where they are." I look around the room, and then see them walking out of the lunch line. "There they are. They just got out of the line." Leo turns around to get a good look at them, and then waves, causing Piper to wave, too.
As soon they reach the table, Leo starts up a conversation with Jason about coming to help fix his father's computer. Jason knows how to fix electrical things, so sometimes he helps Leo around the shop.
I zone out through out the rest of lunch, not bothering to listen to the conversations around me. Until one specific question catches my attention.
"Hey guys, where's Annabeth?" Asks Piper. I look around the cafeteria, and see that she is indeed not here.
I look back to Piper and answer her question as best as I can. "Well, she told me that she was going to go to the library today at lunch, but she promised that she would be here before the last ten minutes of lunch." I check my watch. "She should have been here five minutes ago. I'm gonna go and find her." I get up, and quickly throw away my lunch, and head to the doors of the cafeteria.
I open the doors to the cafeteria, and look up and down the main hall, and finding no sign of her. I check the library, but see that she is also not there. I asked the main librarian if she has seen Annabeth, but she says that she has not seen her since this morning. Panic fills every crevice of my body, and I run out of the library. I run around the school, trying to find Annabeth. After about the five minutes, I give up, and hope that she shows up for Marine Biology.
I round the corner to the cafeteria, and hear something. I hide behind the corner, trying to listen to the conversation.
"Why, hello. Why don't we have some fun?" Says the first voice; a male voice. The next voice is really soft, so I have to listen really hard in order to distinguish it.
"No, please." Whimpers the voice. As soon as I hear the voice, I can immediately tell that it is Annabeth, and she is getting attacked.
Annabeth's Point of View
"Why, hello. Why don't we have some fun?" The guy says. I've seen him around the school, and I easily remember him: Jonas White, the school's second hearthrob and all out bad boy. He's slept with almost the entire school's girl population, even us smarties, or as he calls them, the smartasses.
Jonas is always having a new girlfriend every week; the girls never stop lining up. I would expect them to have learned by now that all he does use them, trying to get in their pants, and once he gets what he wants, he throws them away like a piece of trash.
In my moment of thinking, I had forgotten that Jonas was in front of me. He pushed me up to the lockers behind me, and I immediately got scared. "No, please." I whimpered.
"Aw, why not, love? Don't you wa-" He got cut off.
"She said no, Jonas. Now leave her alone."
"Jackson, look at her. A little honeybunny like her can't go to waste, now can she? Why don't you help me and let's get her going? Yeah? Would you like that, love?" I shake my head, and look to Percy for help. He seems to get the message, and sighs, looking to Jonas.
"You know man, I don't think I can, and neither can you." Percy throws a punch towards Jonas' head, aiming for his temple. Jonas didn't think that Percy would do that, but he didn't exactly seem surprised either.
Percy has been known as the 'good guy' around the school. During his four years of high school, he has had about two girlfriends, total. He only ever liked those two girls. He just about loved him, but from what I learned in my freshman year, they dumped him before he could ever tell them. Both of the girls at the time, had been sluts, and had dumped him for Jonas, who was their real boyfriend. Apparently, they just used Percy for his 'amazing body', and never cared about his feelings; it was just an act. Ever since his second girlfriend, Percy has never dated, or liked anyone ever again, and instead, became the good guy, the one who would never date someone before knowing them first, and would never do anything to them without their permission.
Being the good guy in school, it earned him a lot of respect with both students, and staff. He gained even more respect by protecting the students from the bullies. He was always around when they needed it, just like he is here for me now.
Jonas takes Percy's punch, but doesn't seemed fazed by the least. Jonas throws a punch towards Percy's gut, but it's seems like the punch was inaccurately planned, as Percy easily caught the punch, and threw it back to Jonas. Percy aimed his knee to hit Jonas in his own gut, and successfully did so. The fight continues until the bell rings, and even then the fight continues.
As soon as the students start to trickle out of the cafeteria, they form a circle around Jonas, Percy, and I. The fight continues, consisting of punchs and kicks, until Principal D. comes and stops the fight. "You three, my office, now." He says calmly, which scares me even more, seeing that I have never been into his office before for being in trouble.
Percy and Jonas stop fighting, and follow Principal D. to his office. Percy trails behind to walk with me.
"Are you okay, Beth?" He whispers to me.
I shrug. "I don't know. I mean, Jonas was starting to scare me back there. He came this close to getting away with me." I hold my fingers at about a centimeter apart to show Percy just how lucky I was. I see Percy's hands clench into fists. He gently put my hands on his arm, trying to signal to him to calm down. His fists start to loosen up, but they don't exact come out of their fists. "It's fine, Percy. There was no harm done, and you came to save me before he could do anything. Thank you, and stop worrying."
"You're okay?" He asked.
"I'm okay. Okay?" I answer.
"Okay." He replied.
"Maybe okay will be our always." He smiled at me. (AN: TFIOS reference! I do not own that reference. This will be the last of these random AN's.) I smiled back, and put my arm around his waist. Sometime during our conversation, we reached Principal D.'s office. We step into his office, and sit down in the chairs.
"Okay, now explain to me what all happened. Mr. White, why don't you start."
"Well, Mr. D. it-"
"That's Principal D. to you, boy. Don't forget it, and continue on, please."
"Okay, well, I was just walking to the cafeteria to go eat my lunch, when this little lady," he pointed to me, "was coming on to me. I tried to let her down, but she just kept coming. Then, Percy came out of the cafeteria, and started forcing himself onto her, and told me to join. He kept trying to force me, until he couldn't take my resistance anymore, and started to fight me. I was just trying to defend myself during the whole fight." Jonas finishes.
Principal D. nods in understanding, then turns to me. "Miss Chase, let's hear your side of the story."
I nod, and tell him my side of the fight. "Well, Mr. D., I was ju-"
"Wait, hold up," Interrupts Jonas. "How can she call you Mr. D., and I can't?" He asks Principal D.
"Miss Chase has earned the right to call me Mr. D., as I have known her for a very long time. In fact, when we are not at school, she has earned herself the right to call me by my first name. You, Mr. White, have not. Now, let's let Miss Chase to continue on with her perspective of the story." Jonas reluctantly nods, and I continue with the story.
"I was walking to the library to help Mrs. Toll put away the misshelved books, and as I was passing the cafeteria, Jonas come out of nowhere, and told me, 'Let's have some fun.' I was trying to get past him, but he pushed me towards the lockers. I was trying really hard to get past him, but he wouldn't budge. I had finally given up, but then Percy came up and got him to get off of me. He was arguing with Jonas, and then when Jonas wouldn't go without 'getting some' of me, Percy threw a punch, and then that's when the fight began. Mr. D. I swear that Percy was just protecting me; Jonas was the one who was getting obsessive."
Principal D. sighed, and then nodded his head to Percy, signaling him to say his side of the story.
"I was at lunch, and then my friend realized that Annabeth wasn't at lunch, so I went to look for her. I looked around the entire school, and then when I didn't find her, I had decided that maybe she was somewhere else, safe, and that she would be back in Marine Biology. I was walking to the cafeteria, and when I was about to turn the corner, I heard someone speaking, it was a male speaking. I stayed back, and listened in on the conversation. The other person in the conversation started speaking, I realized that it was Annabeth, and it sounded like she was in trouble. I walked up to her, and started speaking to Jonas, then when he wouldn't let her go, I started to get angry, and I threw a punch. I was trying to protect Annabeth, I swear."
Mr. D. stayed silent for a while, and after about five minutes, he started to speak. "Seeing how Miss Chase and Mr. Jackson have a similar story, I going to believe them. I have also known Miss Chase for a long time, and I believe her. However, Mr. Jackson and Miss Chase, just because I believe you, doesn't mean that you are off the hook. Mr. Jackson, you shall face a week of detention. Miss Chase, you shall face two days of detention for causing a riot, even if it was just a fight, and you didn't mean to start the fight. Mr. White, you shall face one week of suspension, and one week of detention since you have commited a slight form of sexual assualt." He reaches for something in his desk. He pulls out a pad of sticky notes. "Now, you may leave my office, and here are your passes for your fifth period teachers." He hands us our passes. "Have a good rest of your day."
Jonas, Percy, and I stand up and we walk out of Principal's D.'s office. Once we get out of the main office, Jonas turns to Percy and I.
"Thanks a lot. Because of you two, I've been suspended! My father's going to kill me. Just wait, because both of you will pay." He raises his hand in a fist, aiming it for my head. I brace myself for the impact, but it never comes. I open my eyes, and see that Percy caught the punch.
"No, what you will do, is get out of my sight, all the way to your fifth period class, and never bother us, or anyone else ever again, unless you want a repeat of what happened at lunch." Jonas shakes his head, pushes Percy off of him, and runs down the hall. I laugh, and turn to Percy, wrapping my arms around him in a hug. I bury my face in his chest, inhaling his scent.
"Thank you, for everything, Percy."
"No problem, Beth. It was nothing. You know I would do anything for you. Now, let's get to class." I smile, and unravel myself from him, only to have him wrap his arm around my waist. I smile at him, put my head on his shoulder, and start walking to Marine Biology.
No cliffy today :(. I didn't want to end this beautiful moment with a cliff hanger, although I did have an idea on how to end it with a cliff hanger, but I felt in a good mood today, so I decided to be good, and not make you miserable. You're welcome!
I have one question:
1. Should I make a small Percabeth kiss happen in the next chapter, or the chapter after that?
