CHAPTER 5
Geeky Stuff
PERCY
This could be the best day of Percy's life. He got a date from a cute girl. On a Saturday.
Callie personally was now considered as Percy's lifesaver. But everytime Percy would see her, his heart would bounce and bounce. And he would even forget that Annabeth even existed. She was just like him. She loved the same things he did. It was rare to find a cute, hot girl these days that were geeks
Marvel.
Star Wars.
DC.
Doctor Who.
Star Trek.
And everything that was geeky. She was basically the match for Percy. Sorry, who was Annabeth?
After swim practice, he immediately got dressed and headed for his locker. It was the end of the day, and Percy liked it when school was over. He got to hang out with his friends. Annabeth, Grover, Luke and his cousins Thalia and Jason. Although Jason only met up with them sometimes since he was one year younger than the rest. Percy proceeded to his locker and speak of the devil. . . .
"Hey, Perce!" Jason Grace, Thalia's younger brother interrupted him before he opened his locker.
"What's up, Jason?" Percy asked. Jason was always hyper, and he sometimes annoyed him. But he was not a rule breaker for sure.
"I'm guessing you should thank me." Jason smirked, and closed his eyes like he was the king of the school. Like he should receive some praise.
"Thank you for what?" Percy was too busy unlocking his locker.
"Finding you a girl." Jason replied mischievously.
Percy stopped dead in his front and looked at Jason. He glared at him.
"What?! Seriously Perce! You've been heartbroken for 3 months since Annabeth. And I figured to find you a girl. Besides, she needed a date for that, uh, Star Wars thingy and I recommended you." Jason crossed his arms and smirked.
Percy couldn't believe this. Jason was the reason Callie came up to him and asked him to watch the Star Wars marathon. The best day of Percy's life happened because of Thalia's annoying little brother. Mind, Blown. He had a poker face. He ignored Jason and went on to open his locker.
"So?" Jason said, thinking why Percy hadn't reacted yet. But he shut up in the next minute.
Percy opened his locker, and besides his usual books, he found a letter.
It was a piece of paper, but it had the drawing of Superman knocking out Doomsday in the shins. Then it had words written on it.
Join the Super Geeks Club! Backstage at 4:00! Please be there.
-Callie
"Wow. Just met and already sending out secret messages, huh?" Jason smirked again.
Percy looked at his watch. 4:02pm
Gods, he was late!
He ran to the backstage of the auditorium like The Flash.
The backstage was dark. And it looked like no one was around. It was so dark that Percy thought he was being pranked into a trap. Then he scanned the endless possibilities in his head. What if this was a prank? What if Callie just invited him to trick on him?
Nope. No way. Callie was too nice to do something like that.
Before Percy could think anything, a spotlight came on, and it lighted on a guy costumed as a soldier with black armor and mask and a sci-fi weapon. Percy, as a geek, immediately recognized the uniform. Percy smiled. This is what the Super Geeks Club planned for him?
More spotlights came, and more guys in the same suit were standing, lining up in rows as if they were waiting for Percy to cross.
A voice of a woman, albeit cute, but also kind of scary, came into the speaker phone.
"Cut off one head," The woman spoke.
"Two more shall take its place."
All the guys in line saluted. Percy was impressed.
"HAIL HYDRA!" They all shouted. They raised their arms to the sky.
The voice was Callie.
Of course. HYDRA. The research division of Adolf Hiter; at least in fiction. Led by the Red Skull. And the sworn enemies of Captain America and Marvel heroes. Percy was going to fit in here perfectly.
Callie came out, dressed in HYDRA uniform, with her beautiful caramel locks flowing.
"Welcome to the SGC, Percy!" Callie smiled.
And there was nothing he could do but smile back.
How could he have not found this club much sooner?
Let's just say, Percy's day was awesome. He met the other members of the SGC, and like him, they were true geeks. The only significant difference is the fact Percy is popular in school, while the other guys weren't. These guys were the fun guys. And Callie was the president.
He met Leo Valdez, the vice president of the SGC. He was a cool guy, and was kind of fun to be around, but Percy couldn't help but notice Leo's glares at him every time he talks to Callie.
He also met the couple Frank Zhang and Hazel Levesque, who were; at first, heavily arguing with Leo about how Star Trek was so much better than Star Wars.
And Chris Rodriguez, a very nerdy guy, that looked like Callie. With the glasses and the nervous, cute attitude, but was actually the biggest Hulk fan there is.
And a couple of other geeks like himself like Silena Beauregard, Drew Tanaka (who were half-sisters), and Juniper Roberts.
He should have definitely invited Grover here.
Their fun mostly consisted of discussing spoilers from latest of episodes of their favorite shows. Albeit Supernatural, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Arrow, Agents of SHIELD, Agent Carter, and The Flash.
They also held weekly marathon of movies.
"Last week we held the Middle-earth marathon." Leo told him. "All six movies. From the first Hobbit film to the final Lord of the Rings film." He also informed him that this week's marathon was The Matrix trilogy.
Binge-watching? Definitely Percy's thing.
Then he went home.
He went home in about 6 o'clock, since the SGC meeting took up to an hour and a half. He drove his car to his house, and just like every other night, he bathed and dressed up in PJ's, not caring about dinner anymore. He was too tired. Too exhausted. Then he reminisced on what happened today.
He had an encounter with Callie. That possibly changed his life. He meet the guys of th SGC, the Super Geeks Club. And they were really cool, Percy thought.
Percy was beginning to lose his little crush on Annabeth. Since there was no point in liking a girl who doesn't like you back. Besides, he's got his eyes on another girl currently. He had a feeling he and Callie were going to be good friends. Even close friends. And he couldn't help it if he had at least a teeny, weeny, itty, bitty crush on her.
Hey, a guy can dream right?
Speaking of crushes, he remembered Annabeth. And speaking of Annabeth.
OH SH*T!
He remembered he was supposed to meet Ananbeth at 4:30 in her house to watch a movie with her at her home. As Percy remembered all this, he slapped his forehead. How could he forget to come to her house? Then again, he was too sidetracked hanging out with Callie and the SGC.
Oh, man. Annabeth's gonna kill me.
CALYPSO
Watching the new episode of the Arrow TV series was really hard if all you could think about was a guy with raven locks and sea-green eyes.
Callie had no trouble admitting she liked the Percy Jackson. All around nice guy and captain of the Swim Team. And fellow geek.
Callie herself secretly had a crush on Percy ever since she'd met him at the previous year's Christmas Party. It wasn't the part that he was tall, handsome, and had lean muscular abs. Not to mention hot. It wasn't that he was a very nice guy and was popular. It was because he understood her. All her life, she was not very social.
She was studious, very studious, at least. And was what people would call "fangirl." And anti-social.
There was a reason why she formed the Super Geeks Club. A reason why she liked Percy Jackson.
Because he was like her. A geek.
She'd spent days thinking about him, but never actually talking to him ever since that party. And it was hard to get ahold of him.
Because of Annabeth.
Callie herself respected Annabeth for who she was. She was the second smartest person in their batch next to her, and she was a blonde. You rarely see blonde geniuses these days. And that was partly why she was jealous of Annabeth.
Annabeth was pretty, had those stormy gray eyes that were watching you like an owl. She knew Percy for a long time. 11 years to be exact according to her friend, Reyna. And it wouldn't be a surprise to her if Percy and Annabeth liked each other. But so far, they were still best friends. And it was senior year already.
Maybe neither of them made a move on the other. Maybe they just didn't like each other.
Callie was never the social type, but it was rare to find a guy that has equal interests as you. And as far as geekiness goes, Percy's first five minutes in the SGC felt like he belonged there already.
And the best part? She'd scored a date with him. Percy Jackson. If you could technically call that a date. But she wanted to call it a date.
She just sat there all alone in her room, watching Arrow.
As soon as it was time to sleep, she slept.
Then all she had to worry about was competition. By the name of Annabeth Chase.
