Tutoring Chapter 18
Monday morning found Annabeth waiting in the parking lot by her car with Thalia as they waited for Percy and Nico to show up. There was only ten minutes before the first warning bell went off. Today Annabeth and Percy were going to finally go public about their relationship. Something Annabeth was excited and partly nervous about.
"Have you talked to your parents about going to Greece with Percy for the summer yet?" Thalia asked.
Annabeth sighed "No, I don't think my dad and Susan will have a problem it's my mother. She doesn't like Percy, and I'm not sure why".
"That's weird have they even meet?" Thalia asked.
"At the track meet a couple weeks ago, she told me to stay away from him, when I asked her why she didn't respond" Annabeth said.
"That's weird, but your eighteen does it really matter what your mom says. You're getting a full ride to UCLA or UFO, and your dad said he would pay if he had to, your mom doesn't need to be a part of anything" Thalia said.
"Ya I know, I'll talk to my dad tonight. The twins stole my phone and say me talking to Percy and told my dad so I had to explain to him that were dating, now he wants Percy to come over for dinner tomorrow so he can meet him" Annabeth said using air quotes.
Thalia snorted "That should be fun, have you told Percy yet?"
"No I'm going to today, hopefully his mom will let him even though he's still technically grounded" Annabeth said.
"I'm sure she will, considering she let you spend the whole day locked up in his room with him" Thalia said winking at her.
Annabeth slapped her arm "Get your head out of the gutter".
Thalia laughed "Like you two didn't have a heated make out session" she said causing a light blush to spread onto Annabeth's cheeks. "Ha I knew it" Thalia said smiling.
Annabeth rolled her eyes but didn't say anything because Percy pulled into the school parking lot.
After Percy got out of his car he immediately walked towards Annabeth with a large smile on his face. Instead of acting like friends he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I missed you wise girl"
Annabeth smiled wrapping her arms around his neck and playing with his hair "I missed you to seaweed brain" she said before kissing him right in front of everyone.
Thalia and Nico both groaned making gagging noises "Can you two please get a room, because I think I might actually throw up" Thalia said.
Annabeth pulled away from Percy smiling "Now you know how I feel when you and Luke make out".
"Oh come on, I don't need those mental images" Nico said "I'll see you guys in homeroom" he said walking off muttering under his breath.
"Did you really have to say that?" Percy asked frowning.
"Oh grow up kelp head at least she isn't telling you every dirty detail of Luke and mine's relationship" Thalia said "But death breath has the right idea we need to head to class".
"Perfect way to show everyone were together, I'll walk you to class" Percy said intertwining his hand with hers.
"You'll be late though" Annabeth said.
"I have Brunner he won't do anything except shake his head at me, it's fine wise girl" Percy said as they walked through the school's front doors.
"So my brothers stoll my phone and found our texts and told my parents" Annabeth said.
"What did your parents say?" Percy asked as they walked through the school hand in hand towards Paul's classroom.
"I had to tell them we were dating, so my dad wants you to come over for dinner tomorrow night, you think your mom will let you?" Annabeth said looking up at him to see his reaction.
"I think she will, but your dad really wants to meet me?" Percy asked a little hesitant.
Annabeth nodded her head "Yeah, you know the typical you break my daughter's heart I break you. But don't worry my dad is a history professor, he doesn't even own a gun, he's not that scary".
"Yeah but I have to make a good first impression, something we both know I'm not very good at" Percy said as they stopped in front of Paul's classroom.
Annabeth smiled "You'll be fine, we can talk more about it later".
"Okay I'll see you at lunch" Percy said bending down to kiss her on the lips.
Annabeth pulled away "I think we have a crowd" she whispered.
Percy stood up looking around him, "I guess we do, I'll see you later wise girl" he said kissing her again before turning around and walking towards Brunner's classroom like his normal cocky self. Annabeth just smiled going into Paul's classroom where Nico and Thalia were talking.
"You're actually on time Nico" Annabeth said sitting down in her seat.
Nico shrugged "Didn't feel like watching you and Percy make out, and I had nothing better to do so I came to class".
"Did you tell kelp head about dinner with your family?" Thalia asked.
Annabeth nodded her head "Yeah I think he's a little freaked, I tried to tell him it didn't matter because my dad can't even hurt a fly but he said it's all about first impressions".
Thalia laughed "Oh god Percy's horrible at first impressions".
"Yeah he always says the stupidest things and he almost always breaks something" Nico said laughing.
"Then he'll fit in perfectly with the twins" Annabeth said as the last bell rang and Paul started talking.
Mr. Brunner's Homeroom
Percy stepped inside the classroom seconds before the tardy bell rang, smiling at Mr. Brunner Percy took his normal seat in the back of the room next to Travis Stoll.
"So what is this I hear that you walked through our wonderful high school hallways hand in hand with Annabeth Chase, and then kissed her in front of everyone?" Travis asked wiggling his eyebrows.
Percy smiled "All true".
"Seriously you're dating Annabeth Chase the school's hottest book worm. How did you manage that?"
Percy shrugged "I got skills man, something you obviously don't have".
"Hey now I've diffidently got skills" Travis said.
"Oh and how are those skills working on Katie Gardner?" Percy asked grinning.
"They are working great, it's just taking a little longer than normal to woo her" Travis said.
Percy laughed but before he could say something Mr. Brunner spoke "Percy, Travis you are supposed to be working on your homework not gossiping".
Percy and Travis both smiled and stopped talking, pretending to work on their homework.
After Percy and Nico got out of PE they stood talking in front of Percy's locker with Grover, and Jason. Percy stood leaning against his locker with his arms over his chest.
"Have you guys talked to your parents about going to Greece?" Percy asked.
"Dad's cool with it, and as long as Thalia and I are out of her hair Hera doesn't care" Jason said.
"Persephone doesn't want me to go, says we should have family time since I'm graduating and going to college soon, but dad thinks it's a good idea. Most likely he'll end up talking her into letting me go" Nico said.
"Parents think it's a good idea especially since they don't have to pay anything" Grover said smiling.
"Sweet, this is going to be the best summer ever" Percy said.
"You're just excited because Annabeth might be going" Nico said grinning at him.
"So what, I have an incredibly smart hot girlfriend. What's your excuse Nico? Oh by the way Luke is coming as well" Percy said grinning.
"What?"
"Yeah Thalia asked if he could come along and I said yes, Luke's a nice guy. Just because you see Thalia as a little sister and think Luke's a jerk because he's a year older than her, doesn't mean you're right Nico" Percy said.
Nico looked like he was going to explode "Ahhh" he yelled throwing his hands in the air and storming off down the hallway. Walking straight through a laughing Annabeth and Thalia without even apologizing.
"What the hell Nico?" Thalia yelled after him.
"What's with Nico?" Annabeth asked stopping in front of Percy.
Percy smiled setting his hands on her hips and pulling her to him "Told him Luke was coming with us to Greece, he didn't take it too well".
Thalia rolled her eyes "By the way he acts no one would know I'm six months older than him. Are we going to go to lunch I'm starving?"
"Yeah come on man let's go there serving enchiladas today" Grover said grinning.
"Alright, alright let's go" Percy said moving away from the locker and wrapping his arm around Annabeth's waist.
"How was class?" Percy asked as they walked towards the cafeteria.
"Good, Dodd's is in a horrible mood though, Thalia pist her off" Annabeth said laughing.
Percy laughed "I had her second period so I won't be getting detention from her today".
"Good, so did anyone say anything about us going out to you?" Annabeth asked.
"Travis did, but I shut him up by bringing up Katie Gardner" Percy said.
Annabeth laughed "So what do you think we should do during open period today?"
"We could go hang out in the bleachers" Percy said.
"Is that were you take every girl?" Annabeth asked raising her eyebrow.
Percy smiled "No, if you really want to know I take them to the empty classroom on the second floor".
Annabeth frowned "I don't think I wanted to know that".
Percy stopped them from walking into the cafeteria "Come on wise girl I would never take you there, your different from every other girl and I like that about you".
Annabeth took a deep breath "I know that Percy, but you're gonna have to give me some time, I know your reputation with other girls, and it scares me".
Percy stepped closer to her cupping her cheeks in his hands "I would never intentionally hurt your wise girl, you have to know that".
"I know" Annabeth said softly.
Percy smiled lightly kissing her lips "Come on let's go get some lunch".
Annabeth smiled happily taking his hand in hers.
