Annabeth was flopped on her bed. It was a day after her visit to the Jacksons. She had loved being there. It had felt so warm and cozy like a house. Annabeth looked over her phone at the white and bland walls of her room, no posters, nothing to claim it as her own except her school papers lying abandoned on her small wooden desk. She let out a small sigh and turned her attention back to her phone, doing this usually distracted her from her sucky life. It was Thursday, 9:00. Tomorrow would be the last school day of the week and then freedom for two solid days she turned over in bed and reached for her wireless earbuds that were resting on the small nightstand, she hit the edge of them and they did a flip over her finger and fell to the ground, Annabeth huffed and blew a strand of blond hair from her face before moving a little bit more to the edge and grabbing them. Mission success, she moved her head back up and smacked the back of it on the edge of the nightstand
"Damn it" she hoisted herself up and lay back in bed with the earbuds clutched in her hand, rubbing the back of her head with her free hand, she opened her case and shoved the small wireless headphones in her ears, she turned on some '60s and lay back in bed "I love my life," she said in a hollow voice before sinking into her pillow and slowly fell asleep
There was this annoying beeping noise in the back of her mind, it bugged her a lot and she moved her arm to try to swat it away, the arm clawed at empty air for a moment before flopping down, Annabeth opened her eyes slowly and blinked the sleep out of them, the beeping was her alarm it was 5:34 AM, she grumbled and pushed the off button with her finger, still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes with his hands, she let out a long yawn, stretching out her arms to either side, stretching, she should probably get ready for school
After half an hour she was ready for school, it started at 7:30 so she still had like an hour and a half left she sat at the counter on a tall stool and munched on some cereal to pass the time, O'lympuses with little marshmallow monsters in them, she was still listening to music, she shoved another spoonful of cereal into her mouth, for the first time she had time to really process the events of yesterday, her dad had left even earlier than her to go and gamble in some place or another. Her feelings for Percy were really mixed up and jumbled, she had always had a soft spot for Luke as well, Luke was definitely more popular and rich but Percy was sweet. She munched on her last bit of cereal and then put it on her sink, she stood up, pushing the little stool to the side and hoisting up her backpack, she would head to school now just because she ha nothing better to do. She took a good look around her house, it was simple and pretty bland, the kitchen and the dining room were sort of connected and the table was on tile, stools were pushed up to the counter ahead of her was the door and if she turned around she would find a living room with a bathroom connected to it and to the left of that a hallway leading down to the master bedroom, Annabeth's bedroom and a guest bedroom, which was never used. She scratched the back of her neck and went toward the door, opening it and stepping out into the crisp air, her Mustang was parked on the side of the street, she made sure her keys were in her pocket then made her way over to the vehicle, pulling her keys out along the way, she opened her car door with her car key and slid into the driver side
The school bell rang and she trudged to her first class, English, she hated that class, she walked down the main hallway which connected to most of the classrooms or split into smaller hallways, she finally reached her classroom but to her surprise, Luke Castellan was leaning against the wall next to the door, he didn't have this class.. So why was he here? His head was bent down but he looked up when Annabeth came a bit closer, he smiled at her and her heart thumped,
"Hi.." Annabeth said in a slightly shy and uncertain voice as she reached him "What are you doing here? Don't you have Math?"
Luke gave her a smile, not exactly warm and not necessarily friendly "Hey Annabeth" he straightened up and stepped toward Annabeth a little bit "Yeah I do" he grinned "But anyway" he looked at her straight in the face "I was thinking maybe we could go out somewhere, I don't know to the movies or something, he gave a small shrug, a small smirk on his face
Annabeth didn't know if she heard him right, she felt like a truck had just hit her, went into reverse, squish her and then go back forward, she could barely breathe and she could feel a blush creeping up her neck "Uh- I- mea-" she stumbled for words for a moment "S-sure" her hands were trembling slightly
Luke smiled "Nice, do you wanna do the Big Bean maybe after school?" he asked, smiling a bit as he watched Annabeths blush
"Yeah o-okay," she was still a bit lost for words and had also developed a fascinating interest in her shoes,
Luke smiled again and brushed a piece of hair from her face before walking away, she stood there for a second, stunned and confused and it finally penetrated her mind that she had class, she gulped and walked into class, she sat down at her seat just as the teacher was getting to her name in attendance, she said "Here" in a weak voice and then put her face in her hands What had she gotten herself into
Hey guys your evil author here. A few nights ago I was thinking about a good plot twist and then it struck me. I was like "What if….. Annabeth…. Went out with Luke….
