Hey guys! Frequently updating now! I hope you like my effort :) ahahha just kidding. So anyway, I've made Percy and Annabeth give up the idea of getting back together which sounds totally retarded but I have a plan so no worries :)
One Year Later
"Last day of school, you excited?" Calypso asked her boyfriend as she threaded her fingers through his.
"Yeah. I can't believe I'm going to Hawaii... Paul is legit the best stepdad ever." Percy grinned like crazy and Calypso smiled fondly at him.
"I'll miss you." Calypso said sadly and Percy smiled.
"Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it." He kissed her forehead lightly. Percy stuffed the rest of his things into his bag and then closed his locker door.
"Let's go." He said. They walked towards the auditorium.
Students clapped lazily as the Principal stepped off the stage.
"Well, that was exciting." Thalia remarked sarcastically from her seat next to Percy.
"Agreed." Nico said from her left.
"Can we leave this hellhole already?" Bianca said row after row of students were let out.
"It's just our luck we get stuck in the back row... We always get let out last." Percy said.
"Speaking of last, can you believe next year is our last year in high school?" Bianca asked rhetorically.
"Yeah... the years have just flown past." Percy said sadly.
"Oh don't act so sad! We're going to have a way better time in college than here at this crappy school." Thalia rolled her eyes. Percy and Nico laughed.
"So, what college are you going to Thalia?" Calypso asked.
"Not sure yet. You?" Thalia asked.
"Same.." Calypso replied.
"What are you guys doing for summer?" Percy asked.
"You're just asking that so you can brag about your vacation." Thalia pointed out.
"Who- me?! Why Thalia! I would never!" Percy feigned hurt and everyone laughed.
"You may leave now." Mrs. McAdams said as she moved over to their row. They got up and filed out of the hall.
"Finally! Freedom!" Bianca spun around and Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Freedom is when we're out of this school, not just the hall." Thalia said. "They can still punish us for doing something wrong right now."
"Yeah, well we're free from the Principal's boring ass speech." Bianca shot back.
"Eh..." Thalia grunted.
"Oh. My. God." Percy said as he eyed the candy machine at the far end of the corridor. "I think I'm in love! When did they get this?"
"They've just installed it last night. They think we deserve a treat at the end of everyday. It's unlocked at 2:00pm everyday and it's locked in the mornings so we're not hyper for class." Bianca said.
"Do you mean to tell me that we're only getting this for one year whereas the new kids are getting this for their whole high school life?" Nico demanded, sounding outraged.
"Hate to break it to ya...but yes." Calypso said.
"Those motherfu-" Nico began.
"Nico! What did I tell you about not swearing?" Bianca hissed.
"Right..sorry Bianca." Nico said but rolled his eyes anyway.
"Hey!" Rachel said as she bounced up to us.
"Hey Rach." Percy greeted. "Why didn't you come sit with us?"
"Oh I got there early with Juniper, Annabeth, Silena, Beckendorf, Grover and Luke." She told Percy. He couldn't help his stomach flipping slightly at the name Annabeth. It wasn't like he was still in love with her, more like a slight crush now.
"Oh right..." He replied.
"So, anyway I'll see you Percy. I've got to catch my flight to the Maldives with my family." Rachel made a face. "I'll miss you!"
Percy and Rachel hugged and then she was gone.
"Bye guys! I've got to go home early for my mums birthday party." Thalia said, frowning. "And where the hell is Jason?"
"No idea, sorry." Percy said. "I've got to go as well, I still haven't packed for my flight tomorrow."
"Oh okay, see you Percy." Bianca said and gave Percy a quick hug before disappearing to find Nico.
"Bye!" Percy called after her. He walked to the parking lot with Calypso at his side.
"I can take the bus home if you want." Calypso said as Percy rushed to his car.
"No, it's fine. I can drop you off." Percy replied and quickly got in his car.
"If it's no trouble..." Calypso said.
"It isn't." He replied, frustrated with her for delaying them.
She got in slowly and Percy tried not to growl.
When she got in he drove quickly to her house and opened the door for her quickly.
"Well, have a great summer. Love you, bye!" Percy said and tried to rush back into his car.
"Percy!" Calypso pouted. "That's not a proper goodbye."
"Goodbye Callie, I'll miss you and have a great time in California." Percy said, inching closer and closer to his car.
"Bye Percy. Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Calypso winked then kissed his cheek and went inside. Percy climbed into his car and drove away.
When he got home his mum was waiting in the hall and when she saw him she sighed.
"I thought you'd forgotten you had to pack and that we are going out for dinner with Paul tonight.." Sally said.
"I hadn't, I was rushing home because of that."
Sally smiled radiantly when she heard that and then told him to finish his packing and that Paul was coming in one hour.
Percy rushed up to his room and began to pack. When he was done, he walked downstairs just in time to see Paul come in the door.
"Hello Percy, how are you?" Paul asked pleasantly.
"I'm good thanks." Percy replied, smiling. He was glad his mum had a boyfriend to make her happy.
"And school's good?" Paul asked and Percy could tell he was genuinely interested in his answer.
"It's alright. Kind of boring but otherwise it's good." Percy told him truthfully.
"That's great." Paul said and then smiled at something behind Percy.
Percy turned to see his mom come down the stairs all dressed up.
"Hello Sally." Paul said softly and Sally grinned happily.
"Hello! Are we all ready to go?" Sally asked and when the two boys in question nodded, she headed towards the door.
They followed her out into the warm summer air. Paul opened the door for Sally in the front and Percy climbed into the back himself and then Paul started the engine and they were off.
When they arrived at the restaurant Sally went off to the toilet and Paul and Percy headed towards the table first.
"So Percy, I-I wanted to ask your opinion on something." Paul began. Percy nodded for him to continue and Paul took a shaky breath. "I, well see I was thinking about proposing to your mother tonight... And I wanted to make sure that was okay with you before I asked."
Paul looked extremely nervous as he waited for Percy's answer. Percy was surprised to say the least, and he supposed it was nice of Paul to ask although it was all rather cliche. Percy didn't think things like this really happened. The boyfriend of your mom was supposed to be mean not kind and willing to take your opinion on. But it was happening, and Percy had already decided, long before Paul asked that if they got married he wouldn't mind one bit.
"No, of course I don't mind. You make her happy so I guess if you want to do it, then do it." Percy answered and Paul's face broke into a grin.
"Thanks Percy. I knew you were a good kid." Paul said and clapped Percy on the back.
"Hey boys. Having a good talk?" Sally said as she came to sit by them.
"Yep." Percy said casually. He tuned out as Paul and Sally began to talk and then he spotted a head of chocolate brown hair on the other side of the restaurant. The girl turned and Percy saw her face.
"Hey, mom and Paul, do you guys mind if I go talk to Callie for a bit? She's right over there." Percy pointed and Sally smiled.
"Of course. But don't be too long. Our food will be here soon." Sally said.
Percy told her he'd be back soon and then rushed off to find Calypso.
Calypso was sat down facing a man who's face Percy couldn't see. Percy finally put two and two together and realized they seemed to be on a date. Percy burned with anger.
When he got to their table he saw Calypso jump when she saw him.
"Hello Calypso." He said coldly and turned to see who the man was. It was a guy he didn't recognize. He looked about 17 to 18 with sandy blonde hair and icy blue eyes.
"Oh! Percy! What are you doing here?" Her eyes darted around nervously.
"Having dinner with my family. What are you doing here?" He was even more angry than he was at the beginning.
"We're on a date. And you're interrupting." The guy said coldly.
"On a date? That's fucking great Calypso!" Percy said angrily.
"No! Percy, we're not." Calypso panicked. She got up quickly, shot an apologetic look towards the guy and dragged Percy off to a corner.
"Don't even try to talk to me Calypso. I can't believe you're on a date." Percy spat, not even wanting to look at her.
"Percy, please! I-I thought we were just hanging out. It wasn't meant to be a date. Really!" Calypso said, tears threatening to fall. "I love you Percy!"
Calypso reached in to kiss him but he jerked his head back.
"No. You can't do this to me Calypso." Percy said angrily and then stormed away from her.
He went into the bathroom, splashed some water on his face and looked in the mirror.
He saw a heated face and angry green eyes stare back at him. He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
He calmed himself down and then went back into the restaurant and was glad to see Calypso had gone. He went back to his table to see his food arrive.
"Just in time Percy!" Sally said happily. Then she noticed his face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I'll tell you later." Percy mumbled and then he began to eat his food.
"Percy, you can tell us. Was something wrong with Calypso?" Sally asked again.
"No, it's fine mom. I'm happy, see?" Percy put a grin on his face. "Don't worry. There's nothing wrong."
"If you're sure..." Sally said uncertainly.
"Yes I'm sure mom. Stop worrying." Percy said and then stuffed a slice of pizza into his mouth. Sally ate her food quietly, watching him for any signs of why he was upset.
Soon they were done and dessert was on the way.
Sally and Paul began to talk once more and Percy stared into the distance thinking about Calypso. How could she even do that?
After everything he'd done for her... and he thought he knew her so well.. guess he was wrong then.
When the dessert arrived Percy hungrily dug in why his mother ate daintily. When she gasped he looked up suddenly.
On her spoon was a ring with a gold band and a big diamond resting on top.
"P-Paul!" Sally exclaimed.
"Sally, would you do me the honor of marrying me?" Paul asked as he knelt onto the floor and softly took the ring from her spoon and held it up to her. He dusted off the crumbs quickly.
Sally's mouth was wide open and all she could do was nod. Eventually she found her voice.
"Yes. Yes! Of course! Oh a million times yes!" Sally said and she kissed him quickly and he slipped the ring onto her finger. Percy hadn't noticed but the restaurant had gone silent. When everyone started clapping, he realized they'd been watching.
Percy tried to smile for them but all he could think about was Calypso.
She was everywhere, her smile, her hair, her smell, her personality and just the feel of her. He couldn't stop thinking about her.
He didn't regret her though but he wished he did.
The rest of the night passed in a blur. All he could remember was all the smiles and the talk of a wedding. And he remembered Paul's announcement about coming to Hawaii with them. Percy was a little irked about it but he didn't make a big deal because he was tired and confused.
When they got home, he went straight up to his room and fell asleep.
Calypso was part of his dreams, but she didn't really matter.
She was the past and now was the present. The past could be forgotten to an extent
Oh hey guys, I just realized how to insert a line. I'm so proud. :)
So, question: Who's your favourite singer?
And song: Jump then fall by Taylor Swift because she's my favourite artist because all her songs make sense to me. Especially Jump then fall because I met this guy a few weeks ago and this song describes everything about how I feel.
Also Enchanted because it was enchanting to meet him. But it sucks because he doesn't go to my school and he's older and I probably won't ever see him again '/3
