Hell no!
Chapter 17. Afternoon with Annabeth (Percy)
I woke up quite early and got dressed. Downstairs I made breakfast with mom and then the three of us ate the blue pancakes. They tasted delish, as usual. I got my phone and started texting with Jason and Will, who were awake as well.
Jason: Good morning to all!
Me: Wow, u r so excited, that should be me, Annabeth is coming over this afternoon! :P
Will: Why are you excited Jason?
Jason: I was texting with Piper and we r going to hang out Wednesday after school, maybe go 2 her place to work on English.
Me: Dude! High 5!
Will: Jase, you should ask her out some time soon, before someone else does!
Jason: Eh, yeah, I guess
Will: She's nice, good looking and into you. You are wasting time, dude!
Me: Yeah, u should ask her!
Jason: And u should ask Annabeth, Perce, she seems into u, so same really… ;)
Will: You are both idiots!
I'm not an idiot, I think so at least…
Me: HEY!
Jason: HEY!
Will: Just telling it as I see it, guys.
Jason: OK, get it…
Me: Sure…
Jason: Hey Will, wanna hang out today?
Will: Can't, already have plans, sorry.
Will, plans in the weekend? He never, ever does anything in the weekend. What does he have planned?
Me: U never have plans in the weekend
Jason: What kinda plans?
Will: Watching a series…
Jason: With?
Will: Eh…
He's going to watch a series with someone? Maybe a family member? Or an old friend? Wait, I know all his friends, so that's not the one… I soooo want to know!
Me: Now we r interested, dude
Will: Eh… new friend
New friend, new friend? Who? I don't know of any new friends…
Jason: Who?
Will: Tell you later, okay?
Me: Sure, but u better tell us!
Oh, I am going to find out who that new friend is!
Then mom and Paul called me to the kitchen while they got ready to leave. They were going to a birthday party, one of Paul's old friends was celebrating it in his new house, so it was also a house warming party. The drive there would be over 2 hours, so they left at 10. They told me to behave and have a good afternoon with Annabeth. They would be back around 6 o'clock.
Annabeth would be arriving around 2 o'clock, so I cleaned my room a little, to make it presentable. Everything is blue, and I mean everything. My bedspread, my teddy bears, the photo frames, the closet and book case, the desk and chairs, my laptop, the drawings from when I was little… is that weird? Will she think that's weird? Oh gods, I hope not!
At 12 I was bored, so I decided to text with the guys. Or well, with Jason, but he was doing something with Thalia, he didn't really elaborate it…
So I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich. I sat down on the sofa and watched some tv until two o'clock rolled by.
I heard the bell ring and when I opened the door, there was Annabeth. ''H-hey,'' I said. She looked really good, even when wearing just some jeans and a grey shirt with a blue jacket. I might have widened my eyes a little at the sight. Well, who could blame me, she looked a-ma-zing!
''Hey Percy,'' she said, waiting for me to let her in. Shit, I was so busy staring at her I forgot to let her in! so I quickly let her in, and she smiled. I took her jacket and hung it on the hall stand. Then I led her to the living room. She put down her backpack and sat down.
''Eh… would you like something to drink, Annabeth?'' I asked her, still a little nervous.
''A glass of water is fine, thanks,'' she said. So I went to the kitchen and got us both a glass of water. I walked back into the living room and gave her a glass. She then got out her books and asked if I had a laptop.
''Yeah, I've got my laptop in my room,'' I said. ''Eh, do you want to work there, because I've got a desk there.''
''Yes, a desk would be nice, since we'd be writing and typing.'' So we went to my room. I lead the way, and before entering my room, which has a big, blue P on the door, I said,
''Eh, Annabeth, my room is kinda, eh, blue…?'' I was nervous. I've never had a girl in my room, just the guys and they don't mind the mess or all the blue.
''Blue? Well, that I gotta see,'' she said with a big smile, as if nothing could be wrong. I still worried though. I opened the door and let her in. Her eyes went a little wide and she said, ''Yeah, that's a lot of blue, Percy. Why though?''
I got a little red. ''Blue is my favourite colour, ever since I was really small. So my mom got me everything in blue, the bead spread, a teddy bear, crayons, candy, my birthday cakes, even my laptop…''
She nodded and said, ''Well, it is a bit shocking at first, but it does look… nice, it's actually kind of… endearing…'' I smiled at her in appreciation and gestured to my desk. I opened my laptop to a picture of me, mom, Paul, Jason and Will, on the day that we went to the zoo when we were 14 and mom and Paul just started going out. I quickly opened internet and Word and we started working.
Well, mostly Annabeth. I was doing what I can, but being dyslectic and ADHD really didn't help. I did help with some things, I had gotten the books from the library and searched for pictures. It also didn't really help that she was really distracting. She is just so… gorgeous and so much smarter than I am, I just couldn't focus when she was that close.
At 6.10 I heard the door open, and that meant mom and Paul got home. ''My parents are home, so I think it's time for dinner,'' I said to Annabeth. ''Do you want to stay for dinner?'' I asked her nervously.
''Sure,'' she said, and we got up and went to the living room. There Annabeth shook mom and Paul's hands and introduced herself.
''I'm Sally, Percy's mother. And you must be Annabeth. Percy said you'd be over today. An English project if I'm not mistaken?'' Lucky for me she didn't say that I had said much more about Annabeth than that, but she's tactful that way.
''Yes, English. It went… well.'' Annabeth said. Then Paul introduced himself.
''Hi Annabeth, I'm Paul, Percy's stepfather. Nice to meet you.''
''Nice to meet you too.'' Annabeth said with a smile. Then mom asked if she wanted to stay for dinner, and Annabeth said yes. We ordered pizza and ate them while talking about school. Mom didn't ask about her old school and just let her talk, which was great.
I got to know that she has moved around a lot when she was little, lives with her dad and has been friends with Piper and Nico for a long time, and that two years ago Hazel joined their little friends group. I also got to know that she is way smarter than I thought at first. But, all great things must end, and at 7.30 she had to leave.
''Good night, Percy. See you on Monday!'' she said and she gave me a one armed hug. She gave me a freaking hug! I kept calm, although I was freaking out on the inside.
''Yeah, good night, Annabeth. See you Monday!'' I said with a big, goofy smile on my face. Why did I have to smile so idiotic?!
Then she left and I watched a movie with my parents, and mom asked me a lot, and I mean a lot, of questions about Annabeth. Around 10 I went to my room and played a couple of games on my laptop and then I went to bed. Today has been a good day!
AN: This is an extra chapter from Percy's POV. I thought that other people's tings would really add to the story as an extra depth...
So this is my first chapter not from the POV of either Nico or Will. Please let me know what you think. If you like this one, I'll make more of them.
Tell me what you think about this change of POV. :)
AN2: Whoho, another chapter checked. :)
