/ A PJO STORY \
You Got Competition
~ ANNABETH ~
Previously On YGC...
I decided that I probably wasn't thinking straight because of the lack of sleep. I snuggled under the covers. Maybe if I woke up tomorrow, it'll all be gone. Yeah, that probably is right. My eyes closed pretty soon.
...
You know what ? I think I'm going mental.
I woke up the next morning and saw that the scarf was still there. Not just that, the coin was still there. I didn't have time to panic or anything because I needed to get to school. I took a shower and wore one of my new tee shirts. I gingerly lifted the scarf and hid it under my pillow, afraid that mom would accidentally wash it. I made sure the coin was in my pocket before leaving. Who's day was it today ? Oh right. Percy's day. With my backpack over my shoulder, I went to school.
When I arrived, I pushed open the doors and trudged in. Every few minutes, my hand would magically be in my pocket, feeling for the coin. It made me feel sort of safe. I walked down the halls and to my locker. I took out the books I needed and after I closed the locker door, I leaned against it. I thought about everything that happened. Well, all the weird things. I really have a curiosity problem. If I hadn't been so curious, I wouldn't have gone to the alley and rewarded myself with new problems. I feel hopeless and weak. Unknowingly, I sighed. I heard a deep chuckle.
"I didn't know you were thinking about me," Percy said, putting on his smirk. I pushed a lock of hair behind my ear and huffed.
"I wasn't thinking about you," I started to walk away to my first class. Percy let me have a head start before catching up to me. "Could you be anymore conceited ?" Percy grabbed my arm and made me look at him. He had a concerned face on.
"Hey, what's wrong with you ?" He asked, looking into my eyes. I noticed that no one was in the hall and I could hear the silence. I opened and closed my mouth like a fish. I wanted to say something but nothing came out. Suddenly, like in a flash, Percy had me pinned against the wall and he looked at me with those eyes of his. I subconsciously was gripping onto the front of his shirt. He leaned in slowly. He's going to kiss me ! But am I willing to kiss him ?
Suddenly the bell rang and students flooded into the hall. I quickly pushed Percy away and continued walking to my class. I did look back and I saw Percy with a disappointed look on his face. I'll just keep moving. Class will start soon. I walked into my class and sighed. I sat at my usual spot and the torture begins.
The next few classes passed like a breeze. I didn't see Percy or Luke for the rest of the day. I felt really at ease. Unfortunately, I had tons of homework to be done. So, when I went into Biology, I was really hoping for no work. But, the teacher didn't like my idea, apparently. We were given a lot of writing assignments and reports. I haven't seen Leo for the past few days.
Luckily, he came today. Unluckily, we couldn't talk because we had to do the work and if we didn't finish by the end of class, we will get detention. So, we were both busy going over the right notes and writing the reports according to the given formats. I had to use 3 pens to finish all the work. They kept running out of ink and that just made me waste more time. I'm lucky I have back up pens if not, I won't get to finish it at all.
If you were in my place at the moment, you could hear a pin drop because everyone was quiet including the troublemakers. Looks like this teacher has so much authority.
Halfway through, Leo accidentally spilled his file. Sheets of paper fell out. I set down my pen and reached down to help pick up some of the sheets. All the sheets had random drawings on them. The drawings were sketched machines. They were pretty neat. I spent a second admiring the structures. Then, I noticed a small mark at the edge of the drawing. It was a signature.
"What's this ?" I asked, Leo regarding the signature. Leo gave me a smile.
"That's my copyright signature," He was about to tell me more but we were given a stern glare by the teacher and went back to work. I wanted to tell someone about all that's happened recently but who? Thalia wasn't answering her phone and no way am I confiding in my parents or Percy or Luke. I wanted to tell Leo but he shut me out for the next few minutes.
That was my last class for today and I went home. My parents and my siblings weren't home so I had the house to myself. I made some food and brought it upstairs. When I walked into my room, I instantly remembered the scarf and the coin. After setting down my plate of food, I picked up the scarf and looked at it.
It was a normal red scarf. It's fabric made me feel so cozy. Inspecting it more closer, I noticed that there was something sown onto one of the edges. I took a closer look. There was some mark. Some kind of... signature.
Where had I seen that before ?
I refreshed all the events from today. Suddenly, I remembered.
That was Leo's signature.
Finally, an update.
Anyways, I'm planning on doing a PJO version of Rise of the Guardians. I saw the trailer and fell in love with Jack Frost. He's just so hot... or cold...
Anyone with me ?
Review with a yes or a no for that idea.
BTW, tell me what you think about this chapter.
