Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in the past week. Life happened. Thanks for all the follows, favorites, reviews, and to everyone just reading this. It makes my day. I'm not sure about this one, but at least it's longer.
Disclaimer: If I were Rick Riordan, I wouldn't have left the Kane Chronicles at only 3 books and 3 short crossovers. (My apologies. I just finished The Serpent's Shadow and it's tearing me apart)
"Julia, could you come here for just a moment?" Ms. Thomas, the Greek teacher called to me from behind her desk.
"Dear, I've noticed that your grades as struggling at the moment. I've assigned you a tutor in the library after school today. I expect that you go," she said, finishing with a smile that I can only describe as threatening.
"Of course Ms. Thomas. Who's the tutor?"
"Why, Annabeth of course. I'm sure your tutoring will be very beneficial."
I leave the classroom dreading the end of the day. Not that I dislike Annabeth. On the contrary, she's always been nice to me and everyone. I'm dreading it because having to interact with other human beings isn't my thing.
~~~~~Line Break~~~~~
I walk into the library and look around at the tables. It takes a minute, but I finally spot Annabeth hidden in a mound of book.
"Hello Annabeth," I say as I approach the table.
"Hi Julia. So you need tutoring in Greek?" Annabeth asks with a smile.
"Ya," I reply, slightly ashamed.
"It's no problem. Let's get started. Which section is tripping you up the most? We can start there and then move to the little things."
Annabeth begins explaining the Greek myths. After about 10 minutes of teaching, her phone buzzes and she pulls it out and looks at it. It's a weird looking phone. It looks kind of like an iPhone but it has a big square on the back of it. She smiles a little, reading the message, and shakes her head laughing. Before she replies, she turns off the screen and turns back to me.
"So where were we?" She asks.
We continue talking about Olympus and the gods for another 10 minutes before the same thing happens.
Annabeth looks at her phone, smiles, and doesn't reply. She keeps talking as if nothing happened.
This happens about 4 more times before we finish our study session. I pack up my stuff when a hot guy walks in and heads towards our table.
Annabeth doesn't seem to notice the boy until he speaks.
"Hey Beth. Did you get my texts?"
Annabeth looks up. "Of course I did Seaweed Brain. I wa sin the middle of tutoring and thought it would be improper to text when I was supposed to be giving my full attention to Julia.
"By the way, Julia this is my boyfriend Percy. Percy, this is Julia."
"Nice to meet you," he said, giving me his hand to shake. "Annabeth, now are you done here."
Annabeth sighed. "Of course. I'll see you later Julia." Annabeth waved as the pair exited the library.
I waved back, slightly confused that nerdy, straight-A Annabeth had a boyfriend, but I guess anything's possible.
Question of the chapter: Are there any other ships you would like to see me write stories for?
Fyi: many of my ships can be found on my profile. Feel free to request a story about any of them or suggest your own. I'd love writing ideas.
