Thank you for reviewing and thank you Darian for being concerned about my MRI! I just have severe headaches in the morning and the doctor says it isn't normal.
Annabeth
Just another day, normal hour, same kind of minute at Pacific Half Academy. Last minute students piling through the door, Grover came in too. Percy Jackson was still next to me even though I complained to Mr. Varner that he'd tried to blow us all up, I was still stuck with him.
"Good morning class!" Mr. V said.
"Good morning Mr. Varner." The class said back. I put my head between my hands and rested it.
"You will have an assignment that you and your partner will need to be working on, the details of this project is in this paper." Mr. V held up some printed paper.
"You have two weeks until it is do. You can not work on this in class, this is strictly homework. You may use your free time at lunch to work on this, or even when you get back to your dorm rooms, do I make myself clear?" Everyone nodded.
"Please pass these down your row." Mr. Varner said before passing out a stack to for people. They went around the room giving them to people. "You may leave as soon as you have one."
"So, 'partner', have the project in by Monday, I like to keep Mr. V happy." Percy said getting his backpack.
"Wait, what?" I asked standing up "We're working on this together, okay?" I said. He rolled his eyes at me.
"Listen, unless you want to not see your early twenties, I suggest you just do it." He shrugged.
"No, you listen, unless you want to see tomorrow, we do this together." Some of Percy's friends were by the door watching our conversation very closely and with awe. As if no one had ever said no to Percy. He sighed.
"Okay fine. Meet me in my room, 134, 5 o'clock today. If you're late I'm closing and locking the door." Percy said. Grover walked by and bumped Percy's shoulder on purpose. Percy slightly winced.
"Bye, newcomer." He left with his laughing friends.
LUNCHROOM! FIRST LUNCHROOM SCENE 4 PACIFIC HALF! OOH!
I sat down with Thalia.
"So, you physced about our chemistry and world history projects?" Thalia asked.
"Not so much for chemistry. I'm paired up with Percy Jackson. World history's okay I guess, studying Greek Mytholo-"
"Percy Jackson? The school's best swimmer?" Thalia questioned. I shrugged.
"Yeah, what about him?"
"Well, he's the school's best swimmer. And he's close to Luke Castellan, school's best quarter-back." Thalia picked at her macaroni… at least that's what I think it is…kind of looks like plastic Barbie food…
"What are you getting at?"
"Well, you could get major popularity just by hanging out with him. And plus, -"
"I don't want to get 'major popularity', Thalia. Just want to get a good education, and possibly a scholarship to go to Pacific Coast University." I said. She shrugged.
"Just saying. Their both totally hot."
I entered my room. 4:45. I took off my shirt and dug through my others. Does Pacific Half have a washroom? I seriously need to wash this trash… I found a green, white and blue button up and a black shirt. I put on the black shirt and the button up, but didn't actually button it up. Isn't that the style for dudes no a days? I put on some skinny jeans and black all*stars. What is in the teen guys mind? I looked at the clock again 5:57. I went into the bathroom and brushed my wig to a different style and walked about. Wait a minute, why am I 'freshening' up?
I walked out of our room and over to Percy's. He sat on his bed with his guitar strumming something. I waited until he was finished.
"That was good." I said. He looked up and saw me.
"Oh, um…thanks?"
"You're welcome." Yeah, I guess it's weird to be complemented by a guy/girl you barely know on the guitar.
"So, the project?" I asked and he nodded. He pulled a crumpled sheet of paper out of his pocket and I shook my head.
"Can't work with that." He raised an eyebrow as I took my folder out and got the same paper out, but with no crinkles. He rolled his eyes.
"Now, it says here that…" He started. Let the games begin.
30 minutes later.
"No, Percy! You don't put that in there! Now we have to start over" I shrieked.
"Shane, this is our third time starting over! Can we please take a break!" Percy pleaded.
"Well maybe we would've gotten half-way finished if you hadn't poured baking powder in there. What were you trying to do, make a bomb? Again!" I said putting my hands on my hips.
"Number one, that was an accident! Number two; that was super fun! Number three it so not normal for a guy to put his hands on his hips!" Percy cried out. I rolled my eyes.
"Let's take a break."
"Yes!" He got up and ran to a small refrigerator in the corner and took water out.
"You want one?" He said. "Sure." He got one out and threw it to me. I caught it and opened it.
"So, tell me about yourself, mate." Percy said sitting down on the bed next to me. I narrowed me eyes.
"Why do you want to know about me?"
"Just because if I blow you up, I need to tell people how I knew you, what I know about you and what exactly happened to the rest of your body." I looked in his eyes and saw he was half joking.
"Well, my name is Shane Dylans." Lie. He did that one nod thing.
"I lived in L.A before I came here." Truth.
"Is that all you want to know? Because I don't give all my info out to complete strangers." He chuckled at this.
"Well, let's just say, if I fill you up on the past couple years of my life, would you consider me a complete stranger?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe, maybe not…"
Woo! Hidden Percabeth moment! Just re-re-re-re-re-reread that and it seems to me that I've positioned Percy as a gay man. O o. That isn't right…Oh well! Ain't gonna fix it now!
Tune in next time for Pacific Half!
I might be updating Gigantic and Their Deaths today too. You never know. I dunno, I'm pretty tired.
