Chapter Nine: Annabeth POV
I was leaning up against the wall outside of my English class when Thalia came up and threw her back against the wall also, resting her head on my shoulder.
'What's wrong?' I asked, keeping my eyes glued to the hallway.
'Ugh, it's that annoying Emo kid again,' she scoffed. Ah, boy troubles.
'What did he do?' I continued.
'Just his mere existence is enough, isn't it?' she whined shaking her head on my shoulder.
'Sure, honey. Whatever you want,' I sighed; her head shot up and she studied my face.
'Hmm, so what's wrong?' she asked, walking out to stand in front of me.
'Wha-?' I snapped back to what was happening, tearing my glance away from the corridor to her.
'You, and the zoning out. What's up with that?'
'Me?' I asked innocently. 'I'm fine.'
'Right.'
'Right,' I pulled on a small smile, for her sake.
I didn't know what it was, but I had this... feeling; just a hunch that something bad was going to happen. It felt like some evil spirit was constantly breathing down my neck, whispering in my ear, 'Watch out, Annabeth. Bad, bad luck for you.' I hadn't had much good luck lately; maybe it had something to do with that.
Just then, the teacher opened the door and the class reluctantly flooded inside.
I was tapping my pen against my book, only half-listening to the teacher's lecture on memoirs. My hunch felt a lot stronger, and I felt some tension growing in the air.
Then, suddenly, the bell started frantically ringing in a sharp on-off fashion, signalling an emergency. After a few seconds, a horn started to sound.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooow reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooo oooooooow.
At first, the class did nothing. Thalia and I looked at each other questioningly, thinking it would probably be a drill.
'Students, please stay calm,' the teacher said over the surrounding noise. 'Please get under your desk or against the closest wall and stay as quiet as you can until further instructions are given.'
Thalia and I got under our desks, staying silent and baffled, as were the rest of the class. I looked around at the other students and spotted Silena Beaureguard, who was sitting against the wall that spilt the room from the corridor. Her glance met mine and she mouthed, 'What's happening?' I just shrugged and turned to Thalia.
'Hey, what's happening?' I whispered harshly to her.
'I don't know, but I don't think it's a drill,' she whispered back, worried expression growing on her face. 'I should've just stay at the tree.'
'What tree?' I asked, still whispering. I hadn't heard anything about a tree before.
'Don't worry,' she said, waving it off. 'Where's the teacher?'
No one had noticed that the teacher had left, and no more instructions had been given. Panic rose up inside of me. What were we going to do?
We hadn't trained for a situation like this.
I crawled out from underneath the desk and stood up, ignoring the pull that Thalia performed on my leg.
'Annabeth, are you insane?' she whispered. 'There could be an axe-murderer for all you know and you're not making yourself scarce.'
I ignored her plea and turned around slowly, much to the confusion of the other students. I ignored a few more 'What is she doing?' and 'What if she gets hurt?''s as I turned a full 360o. When I found nothing out of the ordinary, I walked cautiously over to the window, which showed the empty corridor.
I dodged a few stray hands and feet, and almost got to the window before I saw something move on the other side of the glass. I stopped right in front of the window and put my hand tentatively on it before a face abruptly popped up, scaring the daylights out of me.
'Ahhhhh!' I screamed, almost falling over backwards. Standing on the other side of the glass was someone in a scary clown mask, and lifting it up to reveal himself, I found out it was Travis Stoll, Connor Stoll's older brother.
'TRAVIS!" I yelled, banging on the glass with my fist. He laughed inaudibly, much to the outrage of myself. He came around to the door and entered the classroom, still laughing.
'Why are you here, it's a lockdown?' Piper, who was crouching under a desk right near the door, asked him.
'Teacher's gone,' he shrugged. 'I got bored, needed to prank someone.'
I punched him in the arm, annoyed. He rubbed his arm softly, 'Totally worth it.'
'Well I'm going to find out what's going on,' Thalia said, emerging from under the desk. She retrieved her bag as she came out and made her way to the door, pulling me along by the arm when she got to me.
Okay, so I have literally not stopped coughing all week, and it's getting on everyone's nerves...
including mine...
and I'm like, 'I can't stop this shit from happening!'
But I have to stop: otherwise I can't go to the movies this afternoon
Cos I'll just annoy everyone in the theater
Just like I've been annoying everyone in all of my classes this week...
Anyway, I'll go now, so I don't bore you to death...
Love you all :)
PEACE.!
