The Foster

Chapter 12

Percy's P.O.V.

I walked home from my long soccer practice. I actually couldn't wait for the regular season to be over because Coach was pushing up really hard. The door was unlocked, which it always is, when I got to the house.

I walked into the living room to see Annabeth sitting on the couch looking upset and mad.

"What's wrong?" I asked sitting next to her.

"Nothing," She said defensively.

"Yeah, nothing, that's why you're sitting here looking all sad," I said and she glared at me.

"Why should I?" She asked still glaring at me.

"Why not," I answered leaning back.

"That's not an answer," She said crossing her arms.

"I told you about what was making me upset the other day," I said.

"Fine," She said sighing. "Luke was kissing Rachel in the hallway today."

"Wow, not even a day, that's low even for him," I said shaking my head.

"Yeah, I guessed," She said looking at the ground. "I can't believe I was so stupid."

"You aren't stupid, Luke is just really good at acting," I told her patting her shoulder.

"Yeah he sure acted like he liked me," She said looking like she was about to cry.

"If it makes you feel any better, I can kick his butt this season in swimming," I said with a smile.

She laughed and said, "Yeah, do that."

We talked for a while just about random things like school and what things we did when we were little. We ended up telling funny stories and laughing at almost everything.

"Hey, do you want to go to the pool?" I asked.

"Isn't a little late, It's already 7:30 and it's a good 30 minute walk from here," She said looking at the clock. Our town pool closed around 8 everyday, but I could go whenever I wanted because I knew the owner really well and he knew I knew how to swim.

"Yeah, but I can get us in," I told her smiling. She nodded her head and went to go get changed. I did the same and soon we were ready.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yup," She said walking out the door.


Hey guys,

Sorry it's a short chapter but I didn't really have anything planned and just wrote them talking :). Hope you like it. I'll be back in however long it takes me to write a chapter. Peace out!
