NOT ANOTHER ANNABETH GOES TO GOODE HIGH STORY!
Lucy—13
Sorry this didn't come out for a while! Had a competition for debate and came back recently. So first off… again, I'm running out of ideas! I know some people reviewed me some, but it's a little vague but I'm going to listen to one of them, from a guest. It's sort of common, but it will do! Thanks to whoever sent me ideas and the guest who gave me this idea as well! Enjoy!
I finally had friends.
And they were the best possible, even if one was chasing after me. When Percy and Annabeth invited me to watch swim practice, I finally felt accepted. So there I was, walking to swim practice, with Leo behind me.
"Do you like swimming?" Leo asked, I knew he was flirting with me, but I gave him some slack. So you must be wondering, do I want a boyfriend? Eh, maybe. If I feel like he's the one for me. But I responded calmly, despite his annoying voice and his mischievous smile.
"Yeah, I guess." I responded.
"Do you like fire?" He grinned as he rubbed his hands together.
"I guess it's okay," I thought for a minute, hoping that he would fall for it. I am terrified with fire.
"Oh," Leo drooped his head in pretend sadness, but lit up again. We made it to the gate and Leo turned to knob when I was about to reach for it, or at least, feel it.
"After you ma'am?" He said in a British tone and I laughed and walked in. I felt Travis and Connor pushing me to the seat.
"Be amazed!" they yelled at the same time.
"You know I can't see it?" I smirked.
"Oh, well then!" they said together again and I giggled. I sat down next to Katie and smiled.
"How can you handle them?" I asked jokingly.
"Practice." She threw a piece of popcorn in her mouth as I cracked up again. Annabeth plopped next to me and hugged me.
"Sorry, had to run away from Drake." I hugged her back and was confused.
"Drake?" I asked. Annabeth gasped.
"Oh my gods, I forgot to tell you! Well anyway…" Annabeth explained all about the cheating, kissing, etc. etc. and I was thinking hard. Why Drake?
"So yeah—" Annabeth started when the whole crowd cheered when Percy made it first, again. Annabeth stood up and cheered as well as I was cheering at the wrong direction. Leo turned me around and whispered your welcome and I stuck my tongue out. I then heard high heels clicking on the ground. It was Veronica, along with…DRAKE?! Okay, so maybe I could see a little, whatever, just barely. There, I admit it. But still, DRAKE?! My mouth dropped when Drake walked over and squeezed in between Annabeth and me. I narrowed my eyes and I squeezed between Drake and Annabeth. I raised my nose up and flicked my hair against his face. Annabeth sighed with relief and hugged me again. Now it was her turn to drop her mouth. Mwahaha. Whatever. I squinted and saw Veronica grabbing Percy's arm. Percy jerked away.
"Veronica, get away from me. I'm not interested." Percy insisted.
"You have to check it outah!" Veronica squealed, "it's gorgeous." She wrapped her arms around his waist. Percy moved away and looked like he was about to throw up. I laughed. Perfume attack. Annabeth stood up.
"That's it." She charged torward the petite girl and tackled her, leaving screams of pain along.
"Woot! Go Annabeth!" I heard Mel yell, and I joined along.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Connor screamed. Clarisse slapped him across the face.
"That's my job punk." Clarisse growled.
"GET OFF DUMBASS!" I heard Veronica yell. Percy slowly inched away from the girls and went in to change.
"Cool! Sissy fight!" Leo grinned, "Allow me, ladies." He walked towards the girls only to be punched in the nose. I laughed so hard tears came out of my eyes. I ran towards him and helped him up.
"You kay?" I asked.
"Totally!" Leo grumbled as he pinched his nose, "Of course not lady! My fucking nose is bleeding!" I laughed.
"Should I do something?" I tapped my finger against my chin and pretended to think.
"I would be glad if you did!" Leo cried.
"Alright!" I kissed him on the cheek. Yeah, I sort of like him, not really. I kissed him on the cheek just so I could make him feel better. I heard Thalia groan.
"Another warrior lost! Even if she wasn't working for Lady Artemis, out of all the guys, HIM?!" she banged her head against the wall.
"Yeah! Me!" Leo yelled, "You know I was pretending all this time?" he grinned and walked away, and yelled to the crowd, "Alright! Back off! I got kissed by Lucy!" He skipped to the exit and mouthed call me. I shook my head and crossed my arms. I then realized that I should do something to help Annabeth. But it wasn't necessary because she had it under control. I stood by her just in case she needs help. Annabeth then pushed Veronica in the pool. I was about to smile and high five Annabeth but Veronica grabbed my arm and pulled me into the pool too.
"Lucy!" she screamed, "Percy!" she ran towards the changing room.
It's okay, I thought, in response to Annabeth, I can do this myself! I pushed towards the shore. My secret is going to be revealed if he comes.
Come on, come on, come on! I kicked to the top, Clothes, turn wet now! Please, please, please! But it was too late. Percy came diving into the pool. He helped me up and I got a towel, him realizing that I don't need one.
"Um… why aren't you wet?" he asked, now very serious.
"Uh," I started, "water-proof clothes?" I didn't sound so sure but he fell for it anyway.
"Alright then!" Percy got up, "thanks to you, I needa change again!" he pretended to cry and walked away. I sighed, whew, that was close. I got up, I made the same excuse to everyone but Annabeth still had a suspicious look in her eyes.
"Strange how you could afford water-proof clothes when you are living in a forest, or orphanage, whatever." She walked away, leaving me alone with Percy.
"How did you get water-proof clothes, anyway?" he asked.
"I made it." I managed to say.
"Oh, cool." His eyes filled with joy, "You should teach me someday. Anyway, do you want to just live in my place, since you don't have anywhere else to stay?"
Oh, gosh. Please don't let my secret get revealed. "Sure," I pretended to smile and we walked back home together. Once we made it to the apartment, Percy's mom made it to the door.
"Honey! How's the competiton?" His mom asked.
"It's great, mom! Mom, this is Lucy, a new friend of mine. She's also a demigod."
"Well I'm sure it's fine to have you stay over—" his mom stopped suddenly and looked at me with wide eyes, "Oh, my, could it be?" I sort of smiled. I don't remember her, how could she remember me? Actually, I sort of did. I met her when I was little.
"Mom? You know her?" Percy asked.
"Yes… when you were very little." She said shortly, "she can stay as long as she likes."
"Alright, if it's fine for you," I nodded and we set in.
After dinner, I walked into the second guest bedroom Sally had.
My secret was about to be discovered.
I know, it's short! Sorry bout that! It's because of two reasons.
One: I'm trying to extend the secret to the next chapter. Even if it's really obvious in this one.
Two: I'M RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS! PLEASE HELP ME! I WOULLD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!
REVIEW PLEASE! THANKS!
