Hello everyone. I'm so sorry about the short chapters recently. I'll try to make them longer in the future. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far. Please be sure to answer my question of the chapter or review with any thoughts you have.
animaljam: I'm not entirely sure what you mean. This is a story where mortals meet demigods.
Disclaimer: If it were up to me, Annabeth Chase would no longer be in the pjo series. Annabeth Jackson would. Obviously, she is not, therefore I do not write the books.
Today's Monday, meaning I have an entire week of school ahead of me. I walk into the school building and head towards my locker. Percy Jackson, my best friend and one of the only good parts of the school day, is already at his locker. I'm glad they're right next to each other, otherwise I never would have met him.
"Hey Jacob," Percy says with a smile. That's weird, he's almost never this chipper, especially not on a Monday.
"Um, Hi Percy. What's got you so excited?"
"Well, my girlfriend is starting classes at Goode today. I'm excited for you to meet her," Percy replies.
"A girlfriend? I don't believe it Perce. You never even talk to girls, how would you get a girlfriend?"
"Well, we met at a summer camp when we were 12 and have been dating since my 16th birthday. She has gorgeous blonde hair that could belong to a princess and these beautiful gray eyes that sparkle when she's excited. They light up when she talks about architecture, her favorite thing," Percy responds, obviously in love with this girl.
"Wow, she sounds like something else," a girl says from behind Percy.
I look at the girl closely. I don't think I'd ever seen her before today. She matched Percy's description of his girlfriend. Could this be...?
My suspicions were confirmed when Percy spun around and yelled, "Annabeth!" Capturing her in a huge hug.
"Percy!" Annabeth shrieked playfully. "Let go! You've seen me everyday for the past week."
"I know," he replied, "but am I not allowed to be happy to see my girlfriend."
"I guess Seaweed Brain, but would you put me down. We're in public."
All I could do was stand there awkwardly. Eventually, Percy put her down and turned towards me.
"Sorry. Jake, this is my girlfriend Annabeth. Annabeth, Jacob," Percy said gesturing to each of us during his introductions.
After we said hello to each other and shook hands, Percy got a playful smirk on his face.
"Hey Beth. I like that jacket you've got on," he said teasingly.
I looked at the jacket as he said this and Annabeth replied saying, "Glad you like it. It's my boyfriend's."
She turns her back to me to look Percy directly on the eyes. I notice that the jacket she was wearing was Percy's swim team sweatshirt, displaying to the world that she was Jackson's and he was hers.
"Any chance I could get it back?" Percy banters.
"Nope," Annabeth replies. "I got cold and I'm sure you wouldn't want me to go to another guy to keep me warm, now would you?"
Percy smirks. "Well in that case, you can keep the hoodie. It suits you."
Just then the bell rang. "See ya Jake," Percy says before turning to the girl next to him. "So who do you have first period Beth?"
"It looks like we both have Paul for both home room and first period," Annabeth replies as they start walking to Mr. Blofis' class.
Thanks for reading. Please review.
