I'm sooooooooo sorry it took me so ling to update, Just with school ending and everything, I really didn't know what should happen next. but I'm out now so i should be back to updating every week.
Ok so this might be sad but I'm only going to do one or two more chapters on this story, but I am working on a PJO, Kane Chronicles Crossover but it's also a crossover with the TV series BONES, I was wondering if any of you would like to read something like that? the story's mostly about my OC's and the BONES characters but you might like it, if any of you are interested tell me in a review and I'll start posting chapters of that once i finish this story.
A's POV
It's the day before our performance and Carter's been trying to think of ways I could make my voice sound deeper, but I have a plan. Tonight we're going to practice one more time at his place and have dinner.
I'm in science right now and Walt is lab partner and we're trying to make a small contained explosion with potassium and water but I'm not really paying attention. I'm thinking about my brother, Tyson, he was in my class when we had to try to blow something up in class in the seventh grade and he managed to cause a toxic reaction in under thirty seconds, needless to say we passed the class.
"A, wake up," Walt waves his hand in front of my face and I look at him.
"What?" I ask annoyed.
"Do you want to stay for you free period, or would you like to help me with the experiment?"
"Sorry I was just thinking about, other stuff," I get the potassium and I'm about to move it over to my side to cut off a bit when Walt says, "Were you thinking about Carter?"
I drop the metal in the beaker and resulting explosion caught the teacher's attention, "Mr. Jackson!" the scary black haired woman shouted, "We're you not paying attention when I gave the instructions or do you take pleasure from disrupting my class?"
"Sorry Ms. Wise, I dropped it in the water by accident," I mumble trying to placate my dad's Ex-girlfriend.
"What would have happened if you had dropped a more volatile substance in your beaker? How do you think I would respond to that accident?" Ms. Wise glared at me like and owl looks at a mouse.
You would eat me alive, I think but I don't say that as a value my life, "I don't know ma'am,"
"As it is you have half an hour of detention after school,"
Walt looks apologetic, "I'll tell Carter that you'll be late," he whispers.
"Thanks," I mutter back.
In Detention
I walk into detention and see Jason in the room cleaning the beakers, "Good Mr. Jackson you're here,"
"What would you like me to do Ms. Wise?" I ask trying not to sound rude.
"Wash the desks then make sure that all the supplies are put away properly,"
It only took me about ten minutes to clean the desks, "What did you do?" I ask Jason as I start to check the supplies.
"I was talking during instructions. What about you?" he asks.
"I dropped the whole chunk of potassium in the water," he grins, "It's not funny Grace,"
"Fine, but that's pretty-"
"If you say one more word I will punch you in the eye," suffice to say he shut up.
After another twenty minutes Annabeth comes in, "A, what are you doing here?"
"Detention, why are you here?"
"If you say one more word Jackson I'll have you in here all night," Ms. Wise threatens.
"Mom what did he do?"
"For one he dated you!"
"OK first of all I meant what did he do to get into detention, and second that was in the eighth grade and I was the one who broke up with him,"
Ms. Wise opened her mouth but I cut in, maybe not the best idea but I'm not so great at good ideas, "She's your Mom?"
"Yeah so?" Annabeth looks unconcerned that her mother might kill me.
"And that's why she hates me?"
"Silence, boy, or you won't be passing my class!" I'm pretty sure I'm not going to pass her class any way but I shut up.
"He was irresponsible with a potentially dangerous substance,"
"He's irresponsible with everything mom,"
"That's no excuse, you may go Mr. Grace," she added the last part as an afterthought. Jason half runs from the class room, but he collides with Carter.
"Dude, slow down. Ms. Wise isn't going to kill you," Carter laughs.
"That's what you think," the blond mutters.
Carter walks into the class room and nods at me, "Ms. Wise?" he says politely.
"Yes Mr. Kane?" Ms. Wise's voice is level and quite different from what it was before.
"Sorry but A and I have a performance tomorrow and I was wondering if you could cut him detention short so we could practice? I could make him go over the test material for your class while we're at it,"
"I guess that that would be acceptable, but I expect you to get a B at the least Jackson,"
With that Carter ushers me out of the room, "Would you be more careful, I don't want you to fail the grade,"
"Why do you care?" he turns red, and he opens the door for me.
At Carter's Apartment
We spent the last half hour practicing and we have just sat down to do some homework before dinner which his "nanny" Bast is preparing, when Sadie and Walt start clapping from the doorway. I blush embarrassed by my high girly voice.
Bast walks in, the lithe woman reminds me of a cat, one that would eat you if you died, "Nice song kittens, diner should be ready in about fifteen minutes,"
I raise an eyebrow at Carter, "Kittens?"
"Hey," he says raising his hands defensively, "Coach Hedge calls us cupcakes," I guess he has a point. "Do you have your science textbook?"
"You're actually going to make me study for that?"
"Yes. Now what's the first element on the periodic table?"
"Hydrogen,"
We do this for about ten minutes when Bast calls out, "Go wash your hands for dinner you two!"
Dinner turns out to be Tuna melts. (If you don't know it's like a grilled cheese but with tuna and pickle relish) Carter groans and sits down, "Um… what kind of tuna is it?" I ask.
"With Bast cooking it's probably Friskies," Carter mutters.
Bast glares at him, "No growth hormones or anything dear,"
I nod and sit down, I've always been a bit squeamish about eating fish but if it's from a factory I'm good with it. "So," Bast said, "Do you have a crush on Carter?"
I almost choke on my sandwich, "What?!"
"Do you have a crush on Carter? I don't think it's that hard of a question,"
"Bast," Sadie hisses if either of them admits to liking the other they'll lose their game,"
"What game?" with her head cocked the lady looks a lot like a cat.
"Whichever of them falls for the other one first admits that the other is the better player and if A loses she has to tell the whole school that she's a girl,"
We spend the rest of dinner in awkward silence, and now that we're done Carter and I are sitting on the couch going over homework, I'm feeling a bit tired but I want to finish going over the English essay so I don't lose points for using the wrong word or something.
Carter yawns and my heads slides down and rests on his shoulder and we fall asleep on the couch.
So what do you think? tell me in your reviews.
You guys are awesome! ;)
