Chapter 12

Percy

That morning I woke up, terribly tired. I walked sleepily to my door, banging into the wall once or twice before I actually managed to leave my room. I scowled and rubbed my face, hoping I didn't break my nose or anything. My mom fixed me some bacon and blue pancakes and wouldn't quit smiling at me the whole time.

Finally, I cracked. I wanted to know why she was staring at me.

"What?" I demanded, chewing my bacon slowly. She sat down across from my and folded her arms over each other on the table. Uh oh here we go.

"So uh..Who..who's Annabeth?" She asked casually, but I could see the smile trying to break through on her face. Instantly, my whole face lit up like a forest fire.

"Annabeth?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't notice the stutter in my voice. She eyed me and the smile widened on her face.

"Ya. I sort of heard you mumbling her name." Her eyes lit with curiosity and excitement. Why was she acting like this? Do I look like a loser who can't get a girlfriend? Actually don't answer that...

"So who is she?" She pestered impatiently. I took a sip of my orange juice and a big bite out of my pancakes, buying time.

"She's a..friend." I lied after I finished eating, grabbing my backpack and trying to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Well gotta go, bye mom!" I called, about to close the door behind me.

"Don't think this is over, Perce. I'll find out!" She sung through the halls. I lowered my head in embarrassment at my mother and closed the door, hurrying to get to school. I lost some time trying to avoid talking to her.

Right when I walked into the class the bell rang. I sighed in relief and walked down the aisle to my seat next to Annabeth. Right when I saw her I blushed, remember my moms earlier pestering.

"Hey Seaweed Brain, you ok? You seem jittery." Annabeth greeted, eying me suspiciously. I smiled and nodded.

"Uh ya." I mumbled, sitting down and sighing. I didn't feel too hot.

"Well the party is tonight. You are coming, right?" She asked me, her eyes pleading for me to agree. I felt uneasy, I had totally forgot. I looked away from her begging face and sighed. I had a really bad feeling about this party, Luke was up to something.

"Ya I guess." I said, giving up. Annabeth smiled with happiness and excitement.

"Thalia said she's coming too. Nico was more excited then the Barbie Dolls themselves." She giggled, rolling her eyes as if to remember what Nico did. I wish I had been there, he is pretty stupid sometimes.

"Ya he is." She answered. Did I say that aloud? Awkward...

Finally the bell rung, determining the ending of the class. I picked up my stuff and walked out of the room, waiting for Annabeth since she said she had to go get something else.

"You ready Wise Girl?" I said sarcastically. She had taken three out of the five minutes we had to get to our next class.

"As ever, Seaweed Brain." She replied, rolling her eyes at me. I smirked at her and bumped her on the shoulder, which she returned. When we were almost into the class, she hip bumped me and let me just say I almost flew into the lockers. She put a lot of power into that. Right when I was about to bump into the lockers I tripped over something and landed hard.

"I'm sorry!" A small voice apologized. I heard papers being picked up and looked to see a girl with light brown hair picking up her papers frantically. Her hazel eyes wide with worry, trying not to look at me.

"Oh geez, it's my fault look let me pick it up." I apologized, helping her get her things together. Annabeth was still standing there, staring in surprise. I glared at her and looked over to the girl and held my hand out. Her eyes darted up to my face and she hesitantly took my hand and released it as soon as possible.

"I'm Percy." I said politely.

"I'm...Opal." She replied quietly, keeping her eyes downcast. I rose an eyebrow at her and looked over to Annabeth, she stared back skeptically.

"I'm really sorry for running into you, really. I'm just really confused right now, see I lost my glasses and I can't see good without them so I can barely see you though you do have green eyes, right? Or are they blue? Ugh!" She squinted up at me, her face close to mine. Was this girl feeling alright? She's really talkative.

"Ya my eyes are green, Annabeth and I can help you find your glasses." I offered, waving a hand in front of her face. What? I really wanted to do that to someone, it's like Velma from Scooby Doo...

"Annabeth?" She questioned, gazing around. Annabeth was pretty good at blending into the background sometimes so I could understand if Opal didn't see her.

"Uh ya, here let's go look." I offered, gesturing Annabeth over to me. Her eyes widened, as if she really didn't want too. I scowled at her and dragged her over, luckily Opal didn't see.

"Hi Opal." Annabeth said quietly. Opal gave a small smile and held her hand out.

"Hi." She greeted. She was being nicer to Annabeth than she was being to me, figures...

"Let's get looking." I advised, the bell had rung minutes ago but I wanted to get to class as soon as possible to get into less trouble.

"Oh no you don't need to help, they're probably in the office by now. Thanks..Percy? Annabeth." She smiled shyly at us and walked off, almost ramming face first into a locker.

I looked over Annabeth and noticed a scowl on her face.

"What?" I asked.

""Nevermind." She grumbled, stalking off to class. Annabeth was very territorial of her friends, was that it? It had to be.

I shrugged and followed her to our class.

-Time Lapse-

"Hey Percy." Drew smiled seductively at me, and let me just say it didn't really work out. I gave a half smile to be nice and walked into the large house. My house was the size of their supplies closet-literally. It made me feel different but I pushed it off, scanning for Annabeth. Finally I found her and walked up to her, her back turned to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my head on her shoulder, smiling down at her.

"Hey kelp head." Nico greeted, grinning like a maniac.

"Hey Emo." I teased back. He scowled at me then took a sip of his Pepsi. His mom made him bring his own because she won't let him drink from parties in case the drinks are spiked.

After a while of talking and dancing, pretty much goofing around, a boy stood up at the top of the steps and a spotlight shone on him.

"Ladies, gather up!" He yelled. Some girls stood on the steps like they knew what was about to happen, and they smiled down at everyone.

"Oh Gods." Annabeth cursed under her breath, her eyes showing a hint of fear. I tightened my grip around her and stared at her in confusion.

"I know what this is. Look we have to go Percy. As in now." She insisted, dragging me by my collar to the entrance. We were about to make it when the guy called for us.

"Where you going Annabeth? We're about to have some fun." I heard the challenge in his voice and Annabeth stiffly turned around. She looked like she hated this.

Someone snatched Annabeth's arm from me and carried her to the stairs, she protested the whole way though.

Apparently, it was one of those stupid things you seen in the movies where you auction off a week with a girl, and she has to like do what you say. But not those kind of things...

Almost every girl went, but I kept my eyes on Annabeth. Her eyes never left mine and pleaded for me to help. Everytime I tried to make my way through, someone pushed me all the way to the back of the crowd.

"Annabeth Chase!" The guy announced. I glared at him. She tried getting away but they weren't going to allow that.

"10 bucks!" A guy called from the crowd. I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

"15!" I yelled back, I was not letting some creep spend time with my Wise Girl.

It went on and on, when suddenly a familiar voice yelled "100 dollars!" My heart started beating faster, I had only come with about 80 bucks.

"110!" I yelled, I had no idea how I was going to get the money, but I didn't care. I'd borrow from Nico or something.

"Sold to Luke!" The guy smiled, as if he knew a secret no one else knew. My blood began boiling, I had spoken up, what the heck! Luke? Oh Gods no..

"You think I'm going to go along with this?" Annabeth shouted furiously. I couldn't help but hope they'd just back off. Luke walked up to her and I hurried after him, finally getting through.

He snatched her wrist aggressively and I was about to swing at him when Annabeth ran away as fast as she could. I followed, worried. She wasn't going to go through with this, I knew it.

Right?
