Hey guys! So I had a little time to write, so I decided to make this upcoming chapter a two-parter since I don't have loads of time to write a long chapter. I will upload part 2 tomorrow but for now enjoy part 1! I'd also like to thank you for your kind comments about my grandfather, my family is still grieving but we're starting to get back into our normal routine. Anyways, hope you like Part 1 :)
Percy's POV
Today Annabeth's brother arrived and I haven't seen her this happy...like ever. The two looked a lot alike, same golden blonde hair and startling grey eyes, but when they reunited I almost cried, and Percy Jackson never cries.
"MALCOLM!" Annabeth cried, jumping into his arms. He swung her around a huge smile plastered on his face. After they finished hugging, he set her back on the ground and turned to me.
"And you are?' His grey eyes seemed to study my every movement, his eyes shown with curiosity and maybe a little bit of anger for Annabeth having to room with a boy.
"I'm Percy, Percy Jackson. Nice to meet you Malcolm, Annabeth's been super excited about you coming." My voice wavered a little, but his eyes just made me really nervous. Malcolm nodded his head in acknowledgement but he then turned back towards Annabeth.
"So little sis, want to show me around campus to catch up?"
"Sure Malcolm! Let's go, see ya later Percy." Annabeth and Malcolm walked out of the dorm together, talking non-stop. I collapsed back onto the couch with a huff, for some reason Malcolm Chase made me really nervous. "Well, I don't have anything else to do today so might as well just take a nap."
I woke up a couple hours later, and realized the dorm was still empty. I got up to get my phone, when I realized Malcolm was sitting at the kitchen table staring at me.
"HOLY CRAP! Dude you scared me, uhh where's Annabeth?" I asked, trying to catch my breath.
"She's with Thalia, sit down Percy I have something to ask you." Malcolm gestured to the chair across from him.
"Uh sure, what's up?"
"Do you like my sister?" Malcolm bluntly asked.
"Uhh yeah, I mean were good friends-"
"No I mean, how do I put this, like like her." Malcolm looked at me, curiously.
"Oh, umm well I don't know it's uhh." I stuttered, my face getting hot from embarrassment.
"Okay, I get it. But I have to warn you Jackson, if you do gather the courage someday to ask my sister out, you better treat her right or I will personally send you to Hades." Malcolm gave me a cold stare, I nodded and he smiled.
"Okay, glad you understand. I'm going to go find Annabeth and Thalia now, I haven't seen Thalia in years, later Percy." Malcolm walked out and I thought back to what happened yesterday.
Flashback
I walked out of the pool's locker room right into Luke Castellan. He gave me a sadistic smile and said, "Percy Jackson! Just the person I wanted to see."
"What do you want Luke?" I asked, my anger growing.
"I just wanted to ask you how Annabeth was doing? The last time I talked to her she seemed a little out of it." Luke asked, trying to act innocent.
"Castellan, stay away from her. I know you drugged her at that party, so don't try to brush it off now." I spoke, anger seething in my voice.
"Why? You're not her boyfriend and you don't control me or her." Luke said, provoking me.
"Luke just back off, and if I see you anywhere near her I have no problem with attacking you in broad daylight." I stormed away before he could say anything else, practically steaming with anger.
End Flashback
Geez that guy made me so mad…
Annabeth's POV
I finally got home from hanging out with Thalia and Malcolm at 10:30. Malcolm left a couple minutes ago to head to his hotel room, but he promised to visit tomorrow. I noticed Percy sitting on the couch watching T.V., so I plopped down next to him.
"Sup Wise Girl?" Percy asked, looking away from the T.V.
"Nothing much, just got back from hanging out with Thalia and Malcolm. What did you do all day?" I asked.
"Not a lot, I had a little talk with your brother while you were gone though." Percy finished.
"WHAT? Gods, I'm sorry Percy ugh, he's so dead." I was so embarrassed, I hated when Malcolm got all overprotective over me.
Percy laughed and said, "Nah it's fine Wise Girl, he was pretty nice…and he only threatened me once."
I groaned with frustration and Percy chuckled and turned back to the T.V. We sat in silence for a while before I broke it.
"You know Percy? You've really changed for the better since Goode, you used to be a giant douchebag but now that I've gotten to know you, you're a really sweet guy." I looked at him, and his green eyes brightened.
"Thanks Annabeth, I'm glad I got to know you. I'm sorry for being such a jerk in the beginning, but now I'm really happy we're friends." We looked into each other's eyes for a while and he began to lean forward.
My mind rushed a mile a minute, "Oh gods is he gonna kiss me? What do I do? Should I kiss back? Get a hold of yourself Chase, just kiss the boy." I closed my eyes and leaned forward too, I could feel his warm breath on my face and then...
So there's Part 1! I hope you liked it, and check back tomorrow for the second part! Also, check out my new story When They Could See Through The Mist! It contains the Greek Gods so the characters will be more like themselves in that! Anyways, please R&R
