-Annabeth POV-
After a few minutes on the bus, Leo is already blasting 'Closer' on his beats pill and singing (really badly) at the top of his voice. I can hear the driver mutter, 'stupid kids.' And I couldn't help but laugh.
I think Percy heard it too and he let out a loud laugh. Or maybe it was because Frank snorted coke up his nose. Either or, the sound of his laugh sent shivers all over my body and I'm pretty sure I was staring at him, unblinking.
'You like him.' Said a voice beside me. I nearly forgot Thalia was sitting beside me and she was grinning from ear to ear. I feel heat rush to my cheeks and Thalia gasps.
'Oh my gods you actually like oh my god where is Piper?' she exclaimed as she started standing up on her seat to talk to Piper, who was in the seat beside Jason in front of us. I grabbed her arm and pull her back down.
'Thalia, sit down!' I whisper-shout. 'I don't even know him! How could I possibly like him?'
'Annie, puh-lease. It's written over your face! He has you under his spell.' Thalia says.
'No he does not! Can we just drop this?' I say, afraid Percy might hear us from two seats up.
'You're not going to admit you like him then?' Thalia said with eyebrow raised.
I sigh. 'Thalia, I've known him for half an hour.'
Thalia shrugged and I could see a mischief in her eyes. 'Fine, we can do this the hard way.'
'Thal-'I couldn't finish my sentence as Thalia leaned forward and whispered into Piper's ear. Piper listened carefully and then suddenly widened her eyes at me and squealed. She seem to be passing the message on to Jason, who nodded and grinned. He turned back to me saying, 'Good choice.' And winked.
'What?' I asked, clearly oblivious of what their plan was. Jason coughed and the shouted, 'Yo Perce! Would you mind swapping seats with Thalia, she's has travel sickness so it's better for her to be at the front.' Beside me, Thalia started to clutch her stomach and rolled her eyes. Damn she was good.
Percy looked back at us and smiles. 'Sure, no problem.' Thalia immediately jumped up from her seat beside me and practically dragged Percy over. He slumped into the seat beside me, looking a little shocked. He quickly recovered and casually said, 'Hey' with a lopsided grin, 'So we meet again.'
I try extremely hard not to blush again so I bite my lip instead and reply with a casual, 'Indeed we do' and try for a playful smile. His grin widens and he asks, 'So, the girl that just took me seat, is she Thalia? I heard Jason mention her before but I admit, I have a memory of a goldfish so.' I let out a chuckle and then nod.
'Yeah, she's Jason's half-sister.' Percy raises his eyebrows. 'Same dad, different mother.' I explain. He nods and I turn to look at Thalia who is whispering into to Frank's ear. Probably explaining the sudden change of seats. Franks nods and grins. He looks over to me and Percy and gives a thumbs up while Thalia sits with a smug smile on her face. I give her one of my steely glares and she mouths 'Here's your chance to get to know him' and winks.
I turn around and sigh. Good ole' Thalia. Piper pops her head over her seat and glances at me then at Percy. She nods approvingly. 'Good choice Annabeth. He's got it all! Good-looking, muscular and nice eyes.' She says, as if Percy wasn't sitting beside me at all. He laughs and I glare at Piper. She smiles and say, 'Just pretend I'm not here! Go on, talk, flirt' she leans in closer to us, 'make out.' She raises one eyebrow. I push her back down into her own seat and I see Percy blushing slightly out of the corner of my eye. Wait, does he want to makeout? Do I want to makeout with him? I push that thought to the back of my head turn around to face him.
'Sorry about that, Piper's a blabbermouth sometimes.' I say sheepishly. 'I can hear you!' she shouts back.
Percy laughs and sits back into his seat. 'I don't expect anything she said is true?' He leans closer. 'Is it?' He's so close I can see his eyes twinkling and he smells of the seaside. I stare into his eyes, my mouth slightly open, but no words coming out.
He suddenly throws his head back and starts laughing. 'God, Annabeth, I'm just kidding! You're so serious! Live a little!' he says in between laughs.
I raise my eyebrows. 'Oh yeah?' I lean in closer to him and place a hand on his chest. His smile falters and is replaced by a look of shock then amusement.
'How's this for 'living a little'?' I whisper into his ear. He lets out a quiet chuckle and I feel his hand slowly creep up my back.
'NOT ON THE BUS GUYS.' Shouts a voice behind us. Leo's head is peeking in behind the seats and he has an amused grin on his face. I quickly bounce off Percy, my cheeks flushing. Percy has a sudden interest in his seatbelt.
'I know I said save the flirting for later, but I guess I didn't make it clear enough that later meant when we arrive at camp.' Leo smirks.
'Dude, she was trying to makeout with me this time, for real.' Percy says jokingly. I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest and say, 'Oh yeah definitely. Who was trying to take off my bra again?' I say with a raised eyebrow.
It's Percy who blushes this time and Leo wolf-whistles. 'Well shit, it looks like I interrupted something.' He says.
'Knock it off, man.' Percy says and hits Leo on the forehead lightly. 'Jeez man that hurt.' Leo says while rubbing his forehead. I tried hard not to laugh and squeezing my lips together tightly to do so.
'Anyway' I ask, 'How much longer until we arri-'I was cut off by a mouth full of red hair and a red head sitting on Percy's lap. Percy looked almost shocked and disgusted and raise his eyebrows as if saying 'get her off me'
The red head, I had to admit, wasn't ugly. She was actually quite pretty. She had a heart-shaped face with piercing green eyes which looked amazing against her fiery red hair. Her clothes ruined the look though. She wore plunging yellow V-neck shirt that showed too much cleavage and a black skater skirt that was way too small. Does she know we're heading to a summer camp? Not a shopping trip? Did I mention she was practically straddling Percy? I glare at her but her stare in concentrated on Percy's biceps.
'Eh, do you mind getting up' Percy asks, clearly annoyed.
The red head gave a sickly, sweet smile and got off him and squeezed in between me and Percy.
'Sorry about that! I dropped my mascara down at the front so I went down to get it. The roads here are so bumpy the next thing I knew, I was on top of you!' She let out a fake laugh, her eyes still focused on his biceps.
'Right, well do you mind-'
'Mine names Rachel.' Her smile widened. 'Rachel Elizabeth Dare,' she placed one hand on his chance and whispered, 'What's yours, good-looking?' Percy shook off her hand and coughed. 'Percy.' He said bluntly.
'Percy. I like the sound of it.' She placed a hand on his bicep now. She's completing ignoring the fact that imp right beside her! I cough loudly and she swivels her head round and glares at me.
'What do you want, blondie?' She narrows her eyes.
I give her my best 'resting bitch face'. 'What I want is for you to go back to your own seat, as we can clearly see there's only room for two people here.'
'Oops I totally forgot! Can you go find yourself a new seat then?' She asks with fake politeness.
I sit there with my mouth hanging open. Did she really just tell me to move? And I was here first?
I was about to say something but a voice cut in before me.
'Go home Rachel.' Says a voice opposite her.
'Piss off, Calypso. It's none of your business.' she says, narrowing her eyes once again,
'It seems to me that none of us want your presence here, who why don't you just go to back where you came from? In this case, your own seat the back of bus.' Calypso states confidently,
Rachel huffs and finally gets off Percy.
'I'll see you at camp.' She winks and walks off down to the back of the bus, where she is joined by two other girls, both wearing clothes that are too small for them.
Percy shivers and I let out a sigh. I look over to the girl who helped us.
'Thank you for putting Rachel in her place.' I say sincerely.
The girl smiles back. She has long, caramel coloured hair and her features are all very dainty and delicate. She was stunning. She was dressed in a casual green tank top, with white shorts as well.
'No problem! Girls like her needs some telling off once in a while.' I let out a laugh and say 'I couldn't agree more! Is your name Calypso? I heard Rachel calling you that name so.'
She smiles. 'Yep, that's me. How about you? I never got your name?'
'Annabeth Chase.'
Her phone started ringing and she muttered something inaudible. 'Sorry I got to take this, I'll talk to you at camp.' I smile and nodded and she turned around to take her call.
I look at Percy and I catch him staring at me and smiling.
'Is there something on my face? Why are you staring like me like that?'
'Nothing, I just like staring at you.' He smiles a warm smile as if the coincidence with Rachel never happened. I roll my eyes and turn around to Leo, who have been surprisingly quiet during the 'incident'. He is staring at something and so I follow his gaze and I land on Calypso. I grin as Leo seems to be entranced by her.
'You totally like her I say.'
'What? She's hot.' Leo states matter-of-factly.
I was about to reply when I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around and see Percy staring out the window, smiling.
'We're here.' Is all he says.
