So hey guys, this is my first fanfic :D Please excuse me if the characters are off. :)
Summary: Annabeth comes to Goode. She and Percy discover a new demigod and face new challenges as three demigods try to live normal lives.
Update, as of May 5 2019: I know the update might bump it to the top of the FF archive, but I'm just going to add a little warning... originally published in 2015, I was thirteen years old when I wrote this and barely met the age limit to have an account. Yes, thirteen, as in seventh grader. So read at your own risk.
Emma's (my OC) POV
"EMMA!"
Yep, that was definitely my best friends. Jessica, my redhead crazy friend and Abby, the platinum blonde who could be super-blonde when it came to boys. I had brown hair- a darker brown color. I had other friends in my little clique but it was more like the whole school was in it. At least the girls.
I slammed my locker shut and came to face my two best friends, Abby and Jessica. "What's up, girls?"
Jessica gave me that look. "Emma, I know we've bothered you, but you should date that Percy Jackson kid!"
"He's soooo cute!" Abby had a crush on the most popular boy in school, Percy Jackson. He was the star of the swim team and was the mot popular boy (and a huge girl magnet).
I rolled my eyes and threw my baton in my locker. I was captain of the majorette squad and my best friend Abby was captain of the cheerleaders. Jessica's thing was just sports in general. "No."
"But you're perfect for each other!" Jessica protested.
"So am I! But everyone ships you together. Emma x Percy! We call it Perma!" Abby smiled. "And my ship with him is Perby."
"Perma?" I giggled. "Sounds weird. And no. Percy's just my friend."
"EVERYONE SHIPS PERMA!" both Abby and Jessica exclaimed at the same time, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"But Percy is so cute!" Abby squealed.
"And he's Mr. Popular! You are Ms. Popular! Hmm, I hear something screaming Perma! Like everything!" Jessica screeched.
"But Percy and I are friends. And it's going to stay that way." I sighed. They'd never give it up.
I walked down the hallway towards first period. Unlike most popular girls, very few people thought I was a stuck up snob, and I wasn't a senior. (I was a sophomore.) There were only three people who did: Lynnea, Mary and Billie. They hated everyone. They were the mean girls of school. I may be rich and popular, but that's no excuse to be snobby. Jessica and Abby had the same class as me except for first period, and they walked in opposite directions. I saw a blonde girl looking at her schedule and the room numbers. New girl. Probably lost.
"Hi," I said. The girl had unusual gray eyes. "Are you new?"
"Yeah," the girl answered. "I'm Annabeth. Can you show me where room 204 is?"
I smiled. "Sure. That's my next class. I'm Emma."
Annabeth and I walked down the hall towards first period gym. Abby had art and Jessica had business class (not like on planes). I passed out meeting place- a specific spot in the hallway.
"Thanks." Annabeth brushed some of her curly hair out of her face. She went over to the bleachers.
"No problem." I waved and walked off toward my friends Becky and Jasmine. They smiled and we started talking about boys.
"You should go out with Percy Jackson!" Jasmine exclaimed. Almost all of the girls thought he was hot. Everyone thought we should go out.
"You should. He's super cute!" Becky added.
"AGH!" I screamed. "I swear I am going to blow up if I hear that one more time!"
"Hey, Emma." It was Percy. Great.
"Hey, Percy." I smiled.
"Was it actually you who told Abby to ask me out for you? Because Abby said 'Do you want to go out with Emma?'" Percy asked.
"Abby!" I did a mental face-palm. "No. Everyone says you and I should get together. I mean, I don't dislike you or anything but... wow this is awkward. I like you as a friend. Please don't kill me."
Percy laughed. "Same here. No offense taken."
"Thanks." Percy gave me a hug.
"Aww!" said the girls.
"PERSEUS JACKSON!"
I turned around to find the new girl- Annabeth walking towards us angrily. Everyone moved aside. Percy instantly let go of me. Annabeth grabbed me and shoved me down.
"What the heck?!" I stood up. The girls rushed to my side. "Annabeth?"
"I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" Annabeth spat.
"I do!" Percy put his hands up. "Emma and I are just friends, Wise Girl! Nothing more!"
"But- but I saw you and her-" Annabeth started to cry. "You cheated on me, Seaweed Brain!"
"Annabeth," I whispered in her ear, "I'm not dating Percy."
"What do you think I am? A dumb blonde?!" Annabeth screeched, burying her face in Percy's shirt.
"EMMA! YOU SHOULD'VE MADE OUT WITH HIM WHILE YOU HAD THE CHANCE!" Jasmine screamed. "YOU SHOULD GO OUT!"
Annabeth looked up. "You're not dating him? But I saw-"
I cut her off. "Nope. We were just saying how we're friends and that we're going to stay that way."
"Oh my gods. I jumped to conclusions." Annabeth looked shame-faced. "Can-"
"You're forgiven." I smiled. "Are you free this evening, around 4? Ice cream. My treat. I have majorettes after school."
"Um, yeah." Annabeth smiled. "I'm staying at his place. We just have to talk to his stepdad, Mr. Blowfis. Maybe we can watch you practice."
"Your stepdad works here?" I asked. "Cool. And that's fine. I'm captain of the team. If you've got the same 6th period as Percy and me, we can go from there."
"Great!" Percy smiled.
During gym, we ended up playing soccer. I wasn't too bad at soccer; I was actually on the soccer team. I was pretty good at it. Percy and Annabeth were on the opposite team as me, and Percy was goalie. I scored about ten goals on him and smirked.
"Emma.. stop..." Percy panted.
I smirked. "No, I don't think I will."
By the end of gym class, Percy was almost dead. "Did you have to do that?"
"Yes!" I laughed. "Sorry. It was just kind of funny."
The bell rung, and Percy, Annabeth and I walked out of the gym together. Percy looked beat up, Annabeth looked like she was Percy's personal fangirl and I was smirking.
