True Love, P!nk feat. Lily Allen
Annabeth's POV
Finally we get a break. After most of the year spent looking for Percy, and then questing to defeat Gaia I didn't have much time for school. Let's just say I was relearning the daily routine of school. Percy and I gathered our books and headed to our lockers. I was excited, I would get to meet some of Percy mortal friends. We exchanged our books for our final lessons for the day then headed to the cafeteria. Percy opens the door for me like a gentleman, and I walk inside. One of the first things that hits me is the noise level, it was loud even the second Titan war wasn't this loud. I should know I was there. There were at least 700 hundred students in here, we walk over to the line to get something to eat. "What's normally served for lunch here Seaweed Brain?" I ask. He has a little trouble trying to hear me, I don't blame him it's that loud in here. "Uh, they usually have fresh fruits, pizza, burgers, salads. There's variety that's for sure." We reach the severs, I get a burger, and green apple. Percy gets the pizza, and a banana, then we walk to where he usually sits. I thought he and his friends would sit inside, but find out they don't when Percy thankfully leads me outside into a much quieter courtyard.
He leads me a table which I can see has Connor, Travis, and Holly sat at it. As well as a tall sandy blonde haired boy athletically built, another boy with short wavy dark brown hair with the build of a football player. There are two girls there as well one very pale and short with dark chocolate coloured hair, the other a dark skin very tall girl. We sit down and the Stoll's and Holly greet Percy and myself the others greet Percy by name and say hi or hey to me. I'm about to introduce myself but Percy beats me to it. "Guys this is Annabeth, Annabeth this is Charity, Nicki, Alex, and James." He says pointing to each one in turn. They all look a bit astonished, finally the short girl Nicki speaks up "so your the fabled Annabeth Chase, Percy's girlfriend." Connor and Travis snicker, I just look at them and they shut up. They've known me longer than Percy has and they know not to mess with me. "Yeah, I'm Annabeth nice to meet you." I say. The others are looking between me and the Stoll's, probably wondering how I managed to shut them up so quickly. "Okay that's the quickest I've ever seen these two lunatics shut up, you must tell us your secret!" James the dark haired one speaks up. I laugh then say "they've known me since I was seven. They know I could easily make their lives a misery." James looks at them then at me then back to them, "you could have told us Annabeth was real, it would have saved us from all the theories we had." The brothers just shrug. I pick up my burger and start eating. After a bit I say "we'll you all know about me, well whatever Seaweed Brains told you. What about you guys?" I look to Holly first and she starts talking "well I think we established in history that I like to draw, but I'm a wicked good basketball player. I'm the youngest in out of my siblings I have two older sisters both of which are finished school, and a older brother who has a social disorder." She finishes I nod and then look to Alex who hasn't said much to me yet "well I live with my Mum, and little sister Emily. My parents are both in the police force, I'm a top grade student and love to read, and ply soccer." He finishes, I note he didn't really talk about his father, my thoughts are they don't have the best of relationships. Next up is Charity who also hasn't said much. "My family's from Nigeria, my parents are both French teachers, and I have a two annoying little siblings my brother, and sister." I nod I know what it's like to be the eldest sibling, except it's harder for m because I'm gone so much and I'm a demigod. Last is James "I have a bit of a messed up family, my parents are divorced and I swap houses weekly. I'm quarter Vietnamese, I have a younger sister called Caitlin on my Mums side, and a younger brother Cooper on my Dads." I'm laughing on the inside I shouldn't be but I am. He thinks his family is bad, at least his not half god. I nod and tell them a little of what they didn't know about me, and for the rest of the break we just talk about random things.
After lunch I Percy guides me to my Architecture class. "So what did you think of them?" Percy inquires. I contemplate this for a second before I respond. "They were really cool, though I think our other half of our family is a bit more messed up than James'" I say. I could see why Percy was friends with them they had a good charisma for a group of friends and I could tell I would fit in with ease. We reach my classroom I look at Percy and he gives me a peck on the lips "Alex is in this class, so you'll know someone. Also he and Charity are both in the same maths class as you so he's going to show you to the classroom because I'm on the other side of school." He says, I look at him than nod. "Okay, so I'll see you after school. How are we getting home walking, or Paul?" He replies "I don't know it's up to you, see you soon."
Architecture was cool, we were studying gothic architecture this term. The teacher was really cool too her name was Mrs Pisano, and she was really into architecture and had a obvious passion for it. Maths was fun as well the teacher Mrs Currie made lots of bad jokes and puns, but obviously loved the topic. She was impressed at my skill because most students who are new to the school don't pick Maths A, and pass as well especially this late into the school year. She cared about her students, and wanting them to learn to there best ability. I received homework from her which was a little strange as its only the first day back but I assumed she's one of those teachers who you were almost always going to get homework off.
After school Percy and I got our stuff from our lockers and decided to walk home, we stop by Paul's office to tell him were walking he says he'll see us at home. We make our way home Percy asks " how was your day?" I consider this for a bit before giving him an answer "it was a change, I had forgotten the feeling and routine of it all. Considering I was looking for you for the first bit of the school year and then we went on the quest, it was different but I liked it. It gave me a sense of normality." He nods and starts laughing. I glare at him but he continues to laugh, then he pulls me in for a hug. He smells like the sea, and safe, and like Percy. Then he mutters " only a child of Athena could love school." He pulls away and gives me a kiss it's warm and loving, his lips are soft against mine. When we finally break apart and start walking again our hands are intwined. We reach his apartment and go enter. The smell of cookies hits us and Percy breaks away from my hand and bounds into the kitchen. When I walk in Sally's just staring at him shaking her head, he has a hand full of cookies, and one in his mouth. Blue crumbs litter his chin. "I don't even get a "Hello mum, how was your day?" My day was good thanks for asking, and slow down on the cookies Annabeth might want some." Sally says. That stops him, I say hello to Sally and thank her for the cookies. Then Percy and I head to his room, I get out my homework lay down on his bed and start to work. Percy lays down next to me, his finished his cookies and after a few minutes of watching me is fast asleep. Typical Percy, I finish my homework then fall asleep as well.
