Chapter 9
Percy and Annabeth walked hand-in-hand, pushing past the many students headed for the cafeteria during the lunch hour. Instead of joining into the crazed rush, they made their way outside onto the lush, green lawn at the side of the school. Not many people came out here, but Annabeth reckoned it was beautiful. It was always filled with leaves and flowers of all shapes, sizes and colours. The lawn was amazingly soft, too.
As they sat cross-legged beside each other, Percy unzipped his bag ajd brought out some sandwiches, two cans of soda and half a dozen blue cookies, which his mum undoubtedly made. Annabeth smiled - they were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, her favourite. For once, Percy remembered something correctly, and for that, she was ecstatic.
Percy opened both cans of soda and placed a straw in each before handing one to Annabeth, who had already began to devour the sandwich.
"Whoa there! You eat faster than I do!" Percy exclaimed in shock.
After quickly swallowing her mouthful, Annabeth replied, "Thank you so much Percy! You know peanut butter and jelly is my favourite..." With that, she went back to her food with Percy smiling adoringly at her, lost in thought about the softness of her hair when they made out, or the taste of her lips.
"Percy? Are you okay?" Annabeth asked, taking a sip of her soda. The second the straw left her mouth, Percy pounced, placing a passionate kiss on the lips of his beautiful girlfriend.
Smiling, Annabeth asked, "What was that for?"
"Aren't I allowed to kiss my beautiful girlfriend?" He smiled as she jumped on top of him this time, food discarded around them.
"Oh, what do we have here?" A voice interrupted, just as Annabeth's hand slipped up Percy's shirt. Startled, they backed away from each other and looked at the source of the voice. Percy groaned.
Why does she have to be here?
"Who's this?" Annabeth asked quietly, obviously not yet acquainted with the school slut.
"Oh, this? Pippy, was it? No? Um, Penelope? No, that doesn't sound right. Uh... Piper? Yeah, this is Piper," Percy introduced, "Oh, and Piper? This is my girlfriend, Annabeth." He added the last bit for good measure.
Annabeth nodded slightly, already to see that Piper was not going to be pleasant. The other girl, on the other hand, sent a glare before facing Percy with a sickly-sweet smile once more.
"What do you want?" Percy asked, glaring.
"Oh, why you, of course!" Piper cooed, oblivious to Annabeth's continued presence.
With a look of disgust, Annabeth spat, "He's MY boyfriend and now, if you don't mind, we will be leaving."
"Oh, no you won't be," Piper semi-growled, "because Percy is coming with me. Oh, but you cab leave unless you want to be severely harmed..."
As the two young women exchanged more harsh words, Annabeth became more and more wound up, readying to pounce. If Percy wasn't holding her down, gods know what would've happened to Piper.
"I swear, if you lay as much as a NAIL on Percy, you are going down!" That was Annabeth, fighting to get Percy off of her.
"Piper, leave us alone already! I have a GIRLFRIEND for gods' sake! Go after some other guy or maybe, not at all!" Percy screamed in frustration. Why did she have to bother us today and now, of all times?
Glaring daggers at Annabeth one last time, Piper stalked off, two of her minions following her, also glaring.
With a triumphant smile, Percy turned to a still glowing Annabeth.
"Come on, Annabeth, we're going to be late for class," Percy said, grabbing her hand. The warning bell had rung during their argument.
With a look of shock, Annabeth quickly packed the things that were still on the grass, left uneaten.
"We can do this again another time, maybe after school," Percy suggested.
Annabeth smiled brightly, for Percy was being a perfect boyfriend for once. "Sure!"
With that, the pair hurriedly made their way inside, hand in hand, before separating to attend their respective classes.
During the entirety of the next hour, Percy could do nothing to forget about Annabeth. Her lips, her hair and most of all, her beautiful smile, radiant as Apollo's chariot. She was happy and it was because of him - not a successful architectural plan, nor a nice work of art. Percy had a grin plastered to his face for the rest of the day, even though Annabeth was not in any of his afternoon lessons and they were some of the subjects he normally despised.
Annabeth, on the other hand, although was happy about Percy, was quite annoyed over the whole Piper ordeal. Who was she and why did she want Percy? Of course Percy was as closest to the perfect boyfriend anyone could get to be, but Percy had told her many times about his lack of popularity, so why was this girl all over him now? With her face caked in make-up, many could say she was fake, but Annabeth noticed that even under all of that, she radiated natural beauty, much like a child of Aphrodite. Not that she was or anything... Or so Annabeth hoped.
