Percy POV
I woke up to my annoying alarm blaring I reached for my phone and slid it to the right while groaning. I was going to get more sleep till I realized that I had to wake up Annabeth and get her to school early. I walked up the stairs and knocked lightly, there was no reply so I opened the door only to find her in the position I left her in last night. She was really pretty and peaceful, haha P P. Sorry totally forgot to mention that I'm ADHD, so I kinda go off topic. Anyways so I was trying to think of ways to wake her up without injury this time, when it came to me. I could just poke her with a stick. Was it dumb? Definitely. Did it work? Yes but not the way I planned, when I poked her she woke up, grabbed the stick out of my hands and judo flipped me. She pushed her forearm against my throat and had a knee on my chest.
"Don't you ever wake me up like that again," she warned, "I swear to all the gods-"
I just laughed. "Considered me warned, (AN: that was from Mark of Athena but I changed it) but next time I wake you up or at least attempt to, don't slap me and call me Helen, it would very much be appreciated." She smiled, got up and offered me a hand. "I was just waking you up for school." I said while getting up.
"Deal. But uhh I have no idea what to wear to school, these clothes are still kinda damp."
"Oh just ask my mom I'm sure she'll have something that would fit you."
Annabeth POV
I walked to Sally's door and knocked on it. "Annabeth! Did you need anything"
"Um... yeah do you have anything I might be able to wear because these clothes are still kind of damp, and you know first day of school for me I don't want to show up in wet clothes." I said sheepishly.
"Of course I think I have something that would fit you perfectly." she said then disappeared into her room. She came back with a very simple sun dress but it was gorgeous. "I hope it fits its one of the smallest things I have, I didn't have the heart to give it away because that's the dress I met Percy's father in." Percy's father? I wonder who it is I didn't see any pictures of him anywhere. Maybe he passed away because she didn't seem to get angry at mentioning him. Maybe she- no stop its not your place to snoop leave it be.
"Thank you so much Sally you're a life saver!" I said before I headed to the bathroom to put the dress on. When I went into the bathroom I saw a little pile with a paper that said Annabeth in really messy writing, the pile consisted of a tooth brush, tooth paste, and a hair brush. I smiled Percy was so sweet he didn't have to do this for me. Is this what it feels like to actually have someone care about you cause it feels nice. I quickly brushed my hair and my teeth then put the dress on. I checked my self in the mirror to assure that I didn't look weird in anyway and walked out.
Percy POV
When Annabeth went to go talk to my mom I got a new tooth brush some toothpaste and a brush for her and put it in the bathroom. After that I just walked into my room threw on a blue v-neck and some black jeans then went downstairs to prepare some cereal for Annabeth and I. I didn't know what cereal she liked so I went up the stairs to ask her only to see how beautiful she was walking out, I was in a trance when I saw her I just forgot what I was going to ask. It wasn't until she snapped her fingers in my face did I come back to reality. "I just um... needed to ask you, um... it had something to do with breakfast... Oh! What cereal do you want!" I said finally. She chuckled, it was pretty. Wait what? Oh boy these stupid teenage hormones I swear she isn't a piece of blue candy I shouldn't act like she is.
"I'll just eat what your having." she said.
"Okay cool it will be ready in 1 min." I said before I rushed down the stairs to finally think straight, this girl was messing with my head but just standing there. Wow, I'm such a guy! I quickly prepared it and looked at the clock, perfect 6:20. We would have another 20 minutes to eat and 10 minutes to drive there and walk to the office. Annabeth came down at 6:24 and we started to eat our cereal while I was trying to explain our school's extremely complicating block schedule. "So on some day we have odd days and on some days we have even days, on odd days you have 1, 3, and 5, and on even days you have 2, 4, and 6. Each period is 2 hours long and you get an extra day to do all your homework it's awesome." AN:this is actually what my school is like, you guys don't even know how lost I was.
"Then when do you have homeroom?"
"Oh yeah ok its about to get really complicating so-"
"About? Its been."
"Oh what ever let me talk woman" she laughed it was cute. STOP BRAIN I SWEAR! "Okay so on Wednesday we have late start and all our periods are shorter and we have homeroom after our first period that day. You get it?"
"Eh... if you can get it I can" she teased.
"Wow, rude you think you're such a wise girl don't you! Huh I like that I'm going to call you WISE GIRL!"
"At least my head isn't full of seaweed, SEAWEED BRAIN!" she shouted in my ear. I playfully picked her up and started to tickle her with no mercy, it was great, until she started to tickle me and I surrendered to her. We were both laughing our butts off till I looked at the clock 6:47 already!
"Annabeth we have to leave now if we want to avoid traffic and get to the office before rush hour."
"Already ahead of you." she said as she shouldered her bag and threw my backpack at me. I caught it grabbed my keys then walked out to my car. I ran to Annabeth's door before she got there and opened it like a gentleman. I heard her loud whisper something like so cheesy, and I started to crack up before I shut her door and went over to the drivers side. If she thinks that's cheesy I'm going to top it off with cheese spray when we get to school.
"Are you nervous?" I asked, she looked at me.
"Kinda, I mean it sucks to be the new kid especially halfway into the semester, and I don't know anyone other than you, like what if we don't get the same lunch or have the same classes I would be the loner of the school again."
"Annabeth calm down, even if we don't have classes together no one can resist that charm." I said while gesturing at her frowning face, which I got to turn upside down. There's something about making her smile that makes me feel so Happy I don't even know what it is but I felt like it was my job. I started the car and just went autopilot. In no time we made it to school I jumped out of the car, ran to her side opened her door with a bow. "Miss Chase welcome to Tartarus on earth." she just laughed at me and pushed my head. Not with much force but with enough to make me stumble and trip, so I had to grab her for support, but because of how much bigger I am to her I kinda just pulled her onto me as I fell. Not even kidding I thought my body was exploding there was fireworks everywhere. Why was my insides combusting I have no idea, but I looked up at her, and just stared into her eyes. I not quite sure how long we stayed like that, could've been a minute, could've been 20, it also could've been longer if she didn't tear her eyes away from mine. Her eyes were pretty I could look at them all day and not even be close to unfasinated, if that made sense. She stood up and offered me a hand, I didn't take it yet I was still staring at her.
"Take a picture it will last longer" she said to me with a teasing tone, which took me out of my trance.
"Maybe I will." I said as I was taking out my phone. "You want one too?" She just laughed. I got up and took a picture of her. I got it at the perfect time, she was laughing in the picture and it captured all her beauty in one photo.
"Hey, you better delete that!" I started to walk towards the office really fast. I was surprised there was basically no one here. "Peresus Jackson if you don't delete that I'm going to get a super ugly picture of you and send it to the yearbook committee and pay them to put it in!"
"That's quite the threat but, wise girl what if my yearbook picture is already super funny and embarrassing?" I said as I took out my student id and showed it to her. She laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"Oh My Gosh why did you draw on your forehead and why would you make that face in a yearbook photo.
"All of my teammates did it they all made weird faces and even wore make up we wanted to be remembered." I said with a sly grin. She bursted out laughing. I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat. Why is this happening to me, I've never felt like this before, maybe it's just the exhilaration of actually having a friend who's a girl that doesn't what to get in my pants, yeah that's probably it.
