Guest- I know that all that happened too conveniently. But that's the whole idea. It shows that everyone has a limit, and they move on after that, except Percy. It shows how loyal he is. Also, Annabeth moved so that Percy could live easily without wishing to be dead so he could be with her. It's a little OOC on her part, but hey, Luke needs a happy ending as well. So I'm sorry if you didn't like that part. I just feel really bad for Luke. And if I pair up Percy with Sadie, it'll be unfair for Annie. So considering all that, I had to do this. Btw, enjoy the chapter. It's a little bit cheesy.
Guest-(the other one) Thanks! That's sooooo sweet of you. I think I remembered how to breathe after reading your review.
Sadie pov
Carter and I were just standing by the lockers. Carter was sighing and moaning like an idiot.
"Carter, she'll be back. It's not like she'll be gone forever." I said.
"But she's been gone for soooooo long." Carter droned. I rolled my eyes. Carter's 'beautiful' girlfriend Zia Rashid has gone around to check on a few Nomes. Unfortunately my brother couldn't go with her. So she left him here to torture me to death.
"Why didn't you go with her then?" I asked.
"I didn't want to miss school Sadie." He said. I sighed. Carter Kane was officially the most geeky guy I've never seen. And it's also official that I have no idea how we are related.
"She'll be back next week." I said.
"I know." Carter replied, sighing longingly.
That's when Percy and Nico came in. Nico had his hands in his pockets and he was leaning slightly backward. Percy, OMGs, Percy was looking way better than usual. He looked like a weight was lifted of his shoulders.
Moreover, he had this twinkle in his eyes that I've never seen before. He looked distracted, but not in the sad way he used to be, but just excited.
They didn't notice us, and I was able to hear their conversation. Nico sounded exasperated.
"Percy, breathe ok? She's going to be fine. She can take care of herself." Nico said, and by the tone of his sound I could tell he was tired of repeating this sentence over and over.
"But Nico, even Paul's not gonna be home. And it's not like we know anyone in the neighborhood who can help her out. What if something serious happens?" Percy sounded worried. I had no idea what they were talking about. The had stopped by the lockers a few feet away from us, still not noticing us.
Nico rolled his eyes. "Percy, she just got the news confirmed. Things won't get serious for a few months at the least." He said, as if he were talking to a five year old.
"I know. I'm just worried." Percy said, sounding a little bit relaxed after Nico's reassurance. Nico sighed.
"These are going to be some loooong nine months." Nico said. Nine months?
"Oh please." Percy said, rolling his sea green eyes. That made my heart do jumping jacks. I'd never seen him do that. It made him seem more lively.
"Besides, Calypso is going to be there in a few hours." Nico said.
"O yeah." Percy said. That's when Nico noticed us. He walked up to us, Percy following without a word, still looking a little worried.
"Hey guys." Percy and Nico said in sync.
"Hey." We greeted back.
"What's up with Percy?" I asked Nico.
"Oh that. Nothing. Percy got the news that he's going to be a big brother soon, and he's just getting worked up about his mom's health. I keep telling him she can take care of herself." Nico said. Oh! That explains the nine months talk.
"Congratulations Percy." I said.
"Thanks." Percy said, smiling and making butterflies flutter in my stomach. Carter too congratulated him. Then Percy left for class. He seemed eager since it was Greek.
I was about to follow him when someone pulled my wrist. I turned to find Nico smiling mischievously.
"I'm waiting for my happy meal." He said. My eyes widened. He couldn't have done it so fast.
"How do I believe you're saying the truth?" I said.
"Fine. I'll prove it to you in recess." He said, before heading off to his class.
In Greek class, I wasn't really concentrating. Percy was sitting right next to me. I kept staring at Percy, who's mood seemed light and happy. I guess this big brother thing has really got him excited.
As I sat there staring still him smile, I daydreamed about him and me, unintentionally, and I got a very distracting background song playing in my mind.
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless
That should send me runnin'
But I kinda know that I won't get far
And you stood there in front of me
Just close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something,
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would...
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild.
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow?
I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile.
Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
And the sparks fly...
Oh, baby, smile...
And the sparks fly...
"Sadie." I was shaken out of my daydream by none other than my daydream, Percy. Oh boy. I'm losing it.
"Huh?" I said.
"Time to go to the next class. " He said.
"Oh right." I said, getting up.
On our way to bio, we heard an announcement.
"Attention all students. There is an important announcement. There is going to be a sea voyage organized by the school. All those interested can get further information at the main desk." It sounded. Percy grinned, a lopsided grin that looked sooooo good on him I didn't know how he could survive without doing that.
"Sea voyage, huh?" He said mysteriously.
"You're interested?" I asked.
"Understatement. I love the sea." He said
"We can go inquire about it at recess, what do you think?" I asked.
"Sure." He said, before we entered our bio class.
