Chapter 12
Percy's POV
After school all the guys came back to my house to hang out. The girls were having a sleepover so we decided to all hang out together. I picked up some food while the Stoll brothers went to the movie store. We planned on eating junk food and having a Die Hard marathon.
When I got to my apartment I found the guys all sitting outside the building. They jumped up and followed me into the nice elevator that would take us up to the top floor. In the elevator I told them the rules,
"Ok guys, here are the rules. No touching my guitar, no harassing my dogs, no upsetting my mom, and no breaking things."
Everyone nodded.
"Hi mom" I called as I walked in.
There was a chorus of "Hi Mrs. Jackson" with the exception of Nico who, of course, called her "Aunt Sally"
"Hello boys" she said coming out of the kitchen, "There are cookies in the kitchen for you."
We demolished a tray of cookies in no time flat then went to the entertainment room. We popped the movie in the DVD player and took our seats.
"DIE HARD!" we shouted as we shook our fists.
The movie started and we watched and ate our burgers (except Grover since he's a vegetarian). When it finished Die Hard I went to retrieve Die Hard 2.
"Travis, Connor, this is Die Hard 1 again!" I exclaimed
"oops" Connor said
"But, if we watch it again it will be, Die Hard 2 (too)" Travis yelled. (a/n got that from Friends, gotta love that show )
"Whatever" I said about to push replay.
"Wait!" Nico shouted.
"What?"
"Grover and I heard something on the radio about a 'huge scoop' about you." He told me
"Oh yeah, apparently you have a new girlfriend" Grover remembered.
Nico took the remote and flipped through the channels until he found the right one.
"We'll be right back with our news about teen pop sensation, Percy Jackson" the overly perky woman was saying. Then it went on commercial.
We waited for it to come back on and made fun of some of the commercials. We even got in a fight about super heroes after a Green Lantern trailer.
"Superman is beast!" Nico shouted
"No way, Superman is cheap. No one should have that many powers. He almost beat the Flash in a race! That's impossible; the Flash's tagline is 'The fastest man alive'!" Noah screamed back. (a/n that legit bugs me, The Flash is the best!)
"Batman is the best. He doesn't have any powers yet saves many people and his city on a regular basis! And he's a billionaire." Travis pointed out.
"Same thing with Iron Man though." Connor said
"But Spiderman lives in New York so there's more people and he's just a kid" Leo argued.
"The Green Lantern is the best hero; he can do anything he wants. His powers aren't limited to flying and running. He can do anything he can imagine and will." I said
"GUYS! It's back on!" Grover shouted over the arguments.
"Now, we move onto our latest teen heartthrob, Percy Jackson. Everyone knows he's back in school but, did everyone know he has a new girlfriend?"
Everyone just looked at each other then turned to me.
They showed a grainy picture of me a girl that was NOT Annabeth. Shit! Someone must have taken it yesterday when Drew like, forced herself on me.
"Percy's new girlfriend appears to be Drew Mai, daughter of the famous business tycoon, Jonathon Mai" It was quiet for a moment.
"You made out with DREW?" Luke asked
"NO! She attacked me but I couldn't hit a girl so I couldn't defend myself!" I shouted.
"Annie is going to be pissed!" Travis said
As if on cue my phone rang.
(a/n bold=Percy italic= Annabeth)
Hey Wise Girl! I said nervously.
Don't "Hey Wise Girl" me
What's wrong?
When did you plan on telling me you made out with Drew Mai?
Oh shit. Listen Annabeth, I didn't kiss her, she kissed me!
Yeah, I'm sure that's what happened. We are through! Don't talk to me again you cheating bastard!
Annabeth, please! You gotta listen to me! I would never-
Bye Percy
Then she hung up.
"She thinks I'm cheating on her!" I shouted in frustration.
"Girls are paranoid like that" Noah said, "Celina is convinced that I'm cheating on her with one of Drew's friend who's name I don't even know. Apparently I was checking her out this morning"
"Is that why you guys weren't all over each other?" Connor asked
"Yup" Noah responded, "You know how she gets. She likes to make a big fuss out of things and keep our relationship interesting. Every little thing that I do wrong she blows out of proportion. She'll be back by tomorrow"
"You sound pretty confident" I said
"It happens every few weeks" he said simply, "Annabeth on the other hand is a grudge holder. You are not going to get out of this easily"
"Just do something really romantic" Luke told me, "Girls like that shit"
"Like what?" I asked
"I dunno, write her a song."
"I've already done that." I said, "But that gives me an idea"
A/n Cliffy!
