Here I am! It has been a week, so I shall update. Hold up! Beware of this chapter. I don't know what I was doing, but bear with me, Okay? Okay.
Percy's POV
What?
"Did I just hear that correctly?" I ask Jason, completely confused. I look over to the girl with the apparent name Annabeth and watch to see if she says
anything. She just looks down. Then, she snaps her head up at Jason, and I wouldn't want to be him. Her eyes are glowering with completely madness, and her eyes are
narrowed.
"Why would you tell him?" She snaps.
He shrugs his shoulders. "I didn't know it was a secret, Gods Annabeth."
"You are Annabeth? What the hell!" I yell, while directing my attention towards her. Here eyes are cold and filled with hate.
"I don't need this right now." She stands abruptly and walks out of the cafeteria. I do what's natural; follow a mad girl while having a high risk of getting killed. Once we are
outside, I can't quite catch my breath. She's walked into the school gardens, and I really can't take in the complete beauty.
With a flower bushes here, a few benches there, it seems almost unrealistic for a school in New York. Directly in the center of the place is a huge weeping Willow with lights
trailing up the trunk, leading to be draped dramatically across the branches. Circling the tree were hummingbird feeders/ nests with actual birds there! The pale sky and cold
air made it much more noticeable. Just.. wow. I find her in a secluded area. Obviously.
"Uh.. ahem." I clear my head. She looks in my direction. Her expression is somewhat softer; yet still intimidating.
"What?" She says through gritted teeth.
"Were you ever going to tell me who you are, or what?" I ask. She grins. It's such a foreign expression, I've only ever seen her "Pissed off" Face.
"Of course, dummy. Just not right away." She states. I do my best pouty face.
"Wow. Calling me dumb? Just- I cannot believe it. Dammit, Chase." I reply. She scoffs. Maybe she isn't the type to be More than friends with, my subconscious add into my
thoughts. WHOA! Calm yourself, I tell it.
"Gods, Jackson. Just don't right now. but anyways: I wasn't going to say anything until we had to work together. Just- our history. I know you don't remember, but its still
fresh in my mind." She says as her eyes darken. I decide not to ask her anything. I may not remember anything about our "Past" but I know I want to be friends, if not at
least talk to each other.
"Okay, okay. But- can we be friends?" She gives me a don't-be-serious look.
"Come on, we need to be on speaking terms, at least. I mean, we are having a baby together." I tell her. Her eyes widen, then remembers the project.
"Oh." She blushes.
"So.. you gonna leave me hangin'?" I ask. She walks over, and gives me a brief smile.
"Let's go dummy." She says. She leads the way back to the cafeteria. I follow. Igrab her hand, but she tenses. She lets go.
"So.. hand-holding is off the table?" I ask.
"Yes." She replies.
"But why?" I ask.
"Because." She replies yet again.
"Okay." We walk back to the lunch table with the group. More people have showed up. I notice all of them look vaguely familiar..
"Silena! Grover! Beckendorf!" All three sat there. Each of them saw me, and freaked. I was greeted by cheek kissing, a hug, and an even bigger, bone crushing hug.
"Aw, love you too guys." I say.
"But seriously, why the hell are you guys here?" I ask. We all went to the same school before moving here.. so why are they here?
"Well.." Silena starts. She looks to Grover for support.
""The school got shut down. This one was the closest.. so most f everyone came here." He explains.
"So, the school is shut down? Man.. we had a lot of good times." I say, as I remember our times being suspended, chased, or talked about.
"Like the time Mr. Blake caught us gluing glitter on his car." Says Beckendorf.
"Or when we dyed Mrs. Bentley's hair purple while she slept." Said Silena. That plan was all hers. Apparently, her grey hairs weren't very fashionable.
"All good times." I add in. Jason, Piper, Leo and Annabeth are looking around awkwardly, as if caught in some scene. Which they were...
"Well, fast forward. What the hell do we do now?" Beckendorf yells, making us all laugh.
"So guys, how do you know about these dudes?" I ask, referring to Jason and them.
Silena speaks up. "Piper and I-"
"Are step-sisters." Finishes Piper herself. This takes me by surprise. What? Piper seems so easy going and chill.. while Silena is so snobby. (Usually, unless you are cool with
her.) Piper is so tomboyish, while Silena is the girliest of them all.
"Okay, so that leads us where?"
"Let's all be friends!" Pipes up Silena.
"Agreed." We say in Unison.
.Short. Sorry, but I was being rushed. I'll make the next extra long!
