Chapter 2- Partners

-Percy Jackson POV-

I don't think it's hard to like me.

I mean, I'm practically the perfect person. I love my mother, and I don't give her crap about anything. I'm popular, where all the girls in the school want me, and all the guys in the school want to be me. To be honest, I'm pretty sure some guys in the school actually want me too. But who's saying.

But there just had to be some girl who decides to go against me. And with my luck, she was the prettiest girl in the whole school.

Yeah. With my luck, she was better than the rest.

Annabeth Chase… her perfect body, she was lean, but she wasn't stick thin. She had the prettiest eyes… a stormy grey color. Her hair fell perfectly in princess curls. The best part- you could tell she wasn't even trying.

I've always thought she was hot, too. The first time I saw her- I knew she was all mine, and everyone knew it. Ever since, the guys have left her alone, knowing what I could do to them if they didn't.

Unfortunately, she didn't fall for my pick-up lines.

When she turned me down, I was pretty pissed off. I mean, who does she think she is? Coming right on in to Goode High, daring to go and reject me, the most popular person at the school like that? I mean, come on.

Well, she's definitely a nobody now, after I got through with her.

Look, I know spreading rumors about someone is bad, but seriously- she was the one who turned the most popular guy in school down, she should expect something bad to happen. She was the one who thought it would be okay to go ahead and reject me.

That's a big no-no.

I smiled as I entured the school, the school that I practically owned, all to myself. I just didn't have to deal with any money crap. I was a pretty smart guy, so if one day the teachers actually got smart and gave the school over to me, I know I could handle it.

I mean, I was smart enough to be in the same classes as Chase, and still get straight A's. But don't tell anyone that.

As soon as I walked in the school, there were two girls that I couldn't remember the names of, waiting for me. They both were dressed in clothes two sizes too small. Their womanly parts were practically pouring out of their shirts.

I can't believe they actually think I like that. Am I really that bad?

Oh well. Comes with popularity, might as well use it, right?

"Hello ladies," I greeted, using a husky voice.

They both smiled, and clung on my arms. I smirked, knowing just how to get those type of girls just what they want. Not like that, perverts. I just know how to make them like me. Like I said before- I'm perfectly likeable.

"Percy, I'm having, like, a party tonight. You should like, totally come!" the blondie on my right said. I knew she wasn't a real blonde, because it wasn't as real-looking as Chase. And I think we all know Chase was too 'innocent' to dye her hair.

The red-head on my left squealed. "You should totally come!"

I thought about it. There would probably be people doing the nasty, drugs, alcohol, and girls dressed in less than what they were wearing right now. That really doesn't seem too appealing… but to keep up my image…

I nodded, causing the two to squeal, again, in delight.

Geese, if they keep on doing that my ears are going to start bleeding.

The two squealers tugged me along to where all my friends usually hang out. My friends; Grover Underwood, Nico Di'Angelo, Jason Grace, and Leo Valdez, are all pretty insane. We've been a group of friends since Middle School, and I've been friends with Grover and Nico for even longer.

I know popularity isn't what got them to be my friend, which is always good. I also know that I could go to them with anything, which is also good too.

The only annoying thing is that Jason Grace's twin sister, Thalia Grace, is Chase's best friend. Jason and I don't understand why Thalia would actually want to hang out with her, especially after what she did to me. She practically humiliated me in front of the whole school.

I guess that causes some tension between the two of them, and they fight a lot.

We came up on them, and I smiled as I saw my friends. Only Jason and Nico played football with me, but the other guys played soccer… If you can't play football, you play soccer!

I've gotten pummeled a few times for saying that in front of them.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Perce," they said in unsion.

"Okay, creepy guys."

Grover punched my shoulder jokingly. "Would you rather have us ignore you? Cause' that could be arranged."

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up Grover."

He put his arms up in a surrender fashion. "I can't help what comes out of this thing, I've never bothered to put a filter there," he said, gesturing to his mouth. We all laughed at that.

"So… what's up with you and Rachel? We heard you two weren't dating anymore," Nico said, raising an eyebrow. Damn. Forgot to tell them about that.

"Broke up with her before spring break. She hated how I 'wasn't there for her', and how I 'spent too much time arguing with Chase to talk to her'. I mean, how self-centered can a girl get?"

The guys just shrugged, and I was glad they could read me well, because I honestly didn't want to talk about it. I mean, how could I have been arguing too much with Chase, anyways? I only argue with her, even if I do it a lot, doesn't mean I don't have time for a girlfriend.

It didn't take long for the rest of the starting football players to get over here, along with some other babes, even if they wore shirts and shorts too small for them, they were still babes in my book.

"Dude, you going to the party? This little angel here asked me, and I'm sure you could come if you wanted too," I announced, smiling as all my friends nodded, thoughtful expressions on their faces.

"I'm in. I could use a little party after the fight I had with my sister. She told me I was a little stuck-up pretty boy," Jason said, rolling his eyes. "At least I bother to have some class when it comes to picking my friends."

"Well she was right about one thing- you are pretty," I joked, putting a hand on his shoulder. Jason slapped it off.

"Now I'm not so sure I was right about the 'class' thing."

I shook my head, and flashed him a smile. "I'm not so sure you were either, bro."

"Please tell me there isn't going to be booze at this party, cause' I don't think I can take my drink being spiked, again," Nico sighed.

"Man up. We aren't taking you to a party if you keep on acting like a priss," Leo spoke, talking to Nico slowly. The rest of us nodded in agreement, stifling our laughter.

I looked down at the babes who were still holding on my arms. I sighed, trying to just shake it off. Of course I couldn't literally shake it off, but I could do it in my head.

Shake, shake, shake.

That's better.

I was talking to Grover when Jason got my attention, clapping my back. "Look who the cat dragged in," he whispered, looking at the entrance of the hallway.

I saw a familiar head of blonde, and a head of black hair that's spiked up was right next to it, which could only mean one thing- Chase and Thalia decided to walk down the popular hallway.

I smirked, internally planning what I was going to do to Chase.

"What are you doing here?"

No, not mean enough.

"Why are you even here?"

Nope. Sounds like I want her to go die.

"What bring you here, Chase? I don't know… pretending to be popular? Sorry hun, but that's for your dreams only."

Definitely not. Too long.

I looked around to try to find Chase, but I couldn't find her. Dang, I took too long. Stupid slowness. Well, I guess we always have lunch.

"Hey Jackson! Why did you break up with Dare?"

Speak of the Devil.

I turned to look at Chase, who was standing there with her hands on her hips, and her signature 'don't mess with me' look on her face. Yep. Same as always.

Immediately, I made sure my signature, my smirk, was plastered on my face. "Got bored. Why, you looking for a date?"

She crossed her arms and glared at me. Oh, it is so on. "Like I'd be dumb enough to date you."

My friends acted like I just got poned. But I was just getting started. I shrugged it off. "Just face it, Miss Chase. You have a crush on me."

She blushed.

Yes, Chase actually blushed. Ha!

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

She glared at me, and I knew I got her. She was practically cornered up like a little mouse being caught by a cat. Got her right where I wanted her.

I don't really know what happened next. I guess I went into 'auto pilot' mode, and I don't really know what caused me to do it… but it did.

I took the blondie next to me, the one who was holding my arm, and pulled her in for a make-out session. She moaned a little in the kiss, and I could tell she thought she was feeling something. To be honest, I felt nothing at all.

Well, besides how she was digging her nails in my neck. And that hurt pretty bad.

I quickly pulled away, not bothering to look back down at the blondie. I knew she was totally blissed out. I just made my facial expression go back into a taunting smirk.

"Too bad for you, even if you have a crush on me," Which we all know you do; I acted out a thoughtful expression, again, not really knowing where this was coming from. "I'd never date you."

Woah. Did I really just say that?

I looked at Chase, and saw a hurt expression on her face. From where I was, I thought I could see tears in her eyes, but I couldn't be sure.

Yeah. I really did just say that.

The people around me started laughing, but I turned around to see my friends, who looked uncomfortable. They felt the same as me.

My eyebrows scrunched together, and I tried to get the hurt expression that Chase had out of my head. I've never seen her like that before… Dammit. I'm officially a bastard. Why did I go so far?

The people around me were still laughing, and some people even tried to give me a high five, but I didn't do anything to acknowledge them.

I've officially gone too far.

-Annabeth Chase POV-

At lunch, I usually sat with all my friends, and luckily for Rachel, we had one open seat at our table.

"Okay guys, not to surprise you or anything, but-"

"Harry Styles is going to come and whisk you away on a date before our very eyes?" Piper joked, and winked when I glared at her. "Sorry, couldn't resist."

"Okay, well, what I was going to say was-"

"Hey Annabeth!"

What was this? Cut-Off Annabeth Day?"

I turned around to see Rachel standing there with her tray. I decided to cut her out of her misery, since she looked uncomfortable enough, standing there.

"Rachel's sitting with us today, okay? She and I got talking in English, and we actually turned out to have things in common."

Thalia snickered, a bit, but everyone else looked shocked. Rachel took the open seat between me and Juniper.

"Annabeth, you make it seem like you are going to date her or something," Thalia said, snickering even more.

"Will you shut up?" I asked, turning to look at the idiot next to me.

Thalia just shrugged, and got back to eating her lunch. I looked around the table, and saw that the rest of my friends escaped their shock, and shook it off when Thalia lightened the mood.

That's why I keep her around.

"Annabeth, about what I was talking to you in English about, I just wanted to say I was sorry for being a brat to you in the past… well, to you all in the past. I kinda got a little kick in the ass by an old friend of mine, and I got a reality check from that." Rachel looked down, and her hand came to rub her forehead, telling me she was stressed.

"Look, the fact that you apologized to all of us is good enough. We, well, I forgive you," I said, giving her a small smile.

"I forgive you too. I know what a douche my brother can be." Thalia smiled, showing her soft side.

Piper and Juniper shared a look before looking at Rachel, a smile on their faces. "We forgive you too."

Rachel smiled at them, and started to pick at her food, so I chose to follow, trying to see what was actually edible in the lunch I was given.

"But looks like someone doesn't exactly like us talking." I looked up to see Piper, who had just spoken, looking past me, glaring.

I turned around, and saw Jackson and his followers, glaring at us. Guess they don't like how Rachel decided to come to the good side. Who cares if we don't have cookies.

I turned back around, and smiled at my friends, which now included Rachel. "Welcome to a start of something new, ladies."

Lunch after that, well, after we got used to feeling someone looking at the back of our heads, went smoothly. Rachel talked about how she would travel with her parents sometimes, and it turns out we actually had more in common that I thought. She was left home alone too, but she had maids and a butler to keep her company, which made it easier.

At least she doesn't have to worry about cleaning.

My other friends acted like the genuinely liked her, and that made me pretty proud of myself. Looks like I got another friend!

Sorry if you don't find that exciting like I do.

After lunch, I had to go to the new class, Greek Mythology. This was the first day in that class, considering the trimesters changed after we went on Spring Break.

I had really wanted to take this class considering I've pretty much learned about this stuff my whole life. My mother would tell me bedtime stories based off Greek myths that she knew. I would love to know where they all came from, though.

I had a feeling I was going to really love this class.

When I walked in the classroom, I was taken aback as I saw all of the cool looking artifacts. There was things that looked like they belonged in the museum in here, and I just looked at them in awe, knowing that no other classroom in the school showed this much history.

I unconsciously clutched my Ancient Greek book tighter.

"Ah, Miss Chase. A pleasure to have you in my class." I turned around to be looking at someone in a wheel chair. Must be Mr. Brunner, the teacher.

I smiled down at him, and he wheeled past me to his desk. It looked cluttered, yet organized, and I smiled, remembering how my mother used to be like this.

He looked around for something, and grabbed a clipboard that I figured was probably a seating-chart. Probably for attendance stuff.

He looked back up at me and smiled. "I'd like you to sit in the back with-" he cut himself off, looking at someone behind me. "Mr. Jackson, just in time."

I turned around to be face to face with Jackson. I glared at him, and he didn't waste any time to glare at me right back. "Hello, Mr. Brunner," Jackson acknowledged him politely. Then it was right back to our glare-off.

"Miss Chase, Mister Jackson, I'd like you to take a seat in the back middle of the class," he smiled at us, and he looked a little amused. "You two are going to be partners, this semester."

Well… looks like things are heating up! Hoped you liked Percy's Point of View. I know I liked writing it!
