I am so sorry for not updating but I'm kinda in a really crappy part of my life at the moment. Here, read this:
Ok, I am having trouble in school so my updates will become less frequent, usually I will update on Sundays, Mondays, or Fridays. If I don't update on one of them it will either be delayed or early. So…expect weekly to 10 day updates…sorry.
I'm here and ready to escape the hell called my life. Dad mom fighting, grades crashing down, projects to do and rudeness to overcome. You know, the usual.
Anyways…thx for the reviews. I'm in a real sunny *note the sarcasm* mood. Just great actually.
Yeah… here's the next chap…
Disclaimer: I'm too messed up at the moment to think of something funny. I do not own PJO.
Chapter 15: Face-Planting Poles and Flirty Jerks
Percy POV
Great! Just Great! I thought as I walked into class, another day for girls to flirt with me although I'm in a relationship. That I am so not going to be the one to spill on. The only thing I'd spilled since the doctors were my feelings. And that was only to Annabeth of course.
Now, I have to put up with, let me see…the ENTIRE cheer squad, the nice girls who sadly are not the prettiest, and worst of all… Drew and Rachel. Drew was furious when she found out Luke cheated on her but there are rumors that she cheated on him. No doubt their true.
Rachel, well, because she spread a rumor that I had slept with Annabeth. Yeah, no one believes her, and say she's just upset that I broke up with her because she cheated on me, but it doesn't mean that I'm okay with it. Annabeth, Thalia, Katie, and even Clarisse promised to kick her ass if they saw her.
The only other person that knew we were a couple was Coral. Here's what happened.
Annabeth was sleeping in my room last night and we were already ready for bed cause we were watching a movie. The movie got boring, it was 9, I was in bed with my girlfriend, and the movie got boring… so, basically, I'm trying to say we made out. At the end of the movie, during the credits, with really loud rock and roll music, Coral burst in the room to task as us if she could watch too. We didn't hear her come up the stairs because of the music. We didn't even know she was there. This morning, she kept dropping hints while we were eating breakfast with my parents. We figured it out when I offered her a ride to school and she just winked, "I don't want to see you guys make-out before school, I've already been scarred for life." With that she ran off, leaving us both confused.
Annabeth figured it out and was about to blame me for spilling when I told her that it wasn't either of our faults, we both had been making out without paying attention. She agreed and said, "Well, that's too bad… I had been hoping for that wish by today. Seems like you're a better liar than I thought, Jackson."
That's when she exited the car and ran up into school. Before she entered she looked back and stuck her tongue out at me. I returned the favor.
Now, I am currently sitting in class, wanting to bang my head in frustration. That is the third love note I've gotten this day and it's starting to frustrate me. Especially with Nico reading them over my shoulder and making kissy noises in my direction. I swear, sometimes I don't know why I hang out with that kid. Give him sugar and he's a hyper 13 year-old, give him black clothing and a skull and he'll scare the crap out of you.
Anyways, remember that dodge-ball/ glee club try outs? Well, apparently my grades are going a bit downhill so I need extra credit. Mr. Apollo offered me being in the school's play for this year. The principal, Mr. D, demanded me join after I got my 4th detention last week, "This might actually teach you some discipline Peter Johnson."
You see Mr. D and I have nicknames for eachother. He calls me anything but my name and I call him in old sot, inside my head of course. Actually, I was the one who started the whole Mr. D thing, he never got over it.
Back on track, auditions are this Friday, the school's doing….dun dun dun…. wait for it…..wait for it….Peter Pan…
I swear, couldn't they be more creative? And I pity the dude who ends up wearing those awful green tights. Only good thing? I convinced Annabeth to try out for Tinker Bell. I told her, and I quote, "Who better to play a fairy than an angel?" she slapped my arm and told me to shut up although she did agree.
I, on the other hand, am trying out for Captain Hook. I still can't believe that the school chose this play out of all the possibilities. I even asked Thalia what she thought and she told me, and I quote, "Peter Pan is a flirty jerk."That made the bunch of us crack up since she said it so-o seriously. (If you havnt seen peter pan than I suggest you watch the human not cartoon edition and maybe watch the movie Neverland, it's real good.)
Hook and Tinker have one or two scenes together, right? I wonder who will play Wendy, it's said that Juniper wants to. Grover wants to try out for Peter Pan and I'm black-mailing Nico into being Michael or John. Rumor also has it that Travis and Connor wants to be part of the lost boys, and Katie wants to try out for Tink also. There's a chubby freshman named Riley who wants to play Mr. Smith. He's cool so if I get Hook than that'll be fun. Selena wants to be the Mrs. Darling and Piper wants to be Tiger Lily because of her heritage. I heard that Beckendorf was forced by Selena to try out for one of the pirates or an Indian. Leo wants to be a lost boy and Jason might be Mr. Darling. Sadly, Rachel and Drew are trying out for Wendy or Tinker Bell too.
I have no idea why all of them would actually want to be in this play, out of all of the plays that have been done at this school. When I asked, they just shrugged. "Just be happy you won't be all alone in this humiliating excuse for theatre."
Back to the present. Class had just ended and we made our way to the lunch room. I was so lost in thought that I literally missed Nico starting a food fight with Clarisse. Hopefully, I don't get blamed for it.
I saw Annabeth leave and followed her, already having been hit by at 3 fistfuls of food(Macaroni and cheese on my shirt, tomato sauce on my pants and 3 French fries I'm trying to get out of my hair). She went outside. I followed.
"Hey!" I caught up with her and put a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and turned around.
"Oh, hey Seaweed Brain." She smirked.
"Wise Girl." I bowed my head sideways to her. She rolled her eyes and took my hand. We walked out to the garden hand in hand, a comfortable silence between us. I showed Annabeth a little hidden tunnel in the garden I had found with Calypso at one of the few dances we attended together. There was a stone bench inside so I sat on it and pulled Annabeth down onto my lap. She looked around smiling. The architecture, I suppose, amused her large brain.
"It's so pretty here, how did you find this? It's completely hidden!" Annabeth exclaimed. I loved it down here too, it was extremely romantic.
"Well, being hot isn't the only reason girls love me, they think I'm romantic. Do you?" I said smugly and putting my head in the crook of her neck. I felt her shiver as I said romantic.
"Maybe, although we haven't gone on my first date yet." She looked at me pointedly until I realized something.
"First date? You've never been on a date before?" how could Annabeth Chase, a gorgeous girl by the way, not have gone on her first date yet?
"Uh, I said our first date." She lied.
"No you said my, as in yours."
"No, I said my as in ours, like together."
"Uh-hu, right. Well, I'm gonna have to change that, aren't I? Me. You. A movie and dinner. Pick you up at seven!" I got up and started to walk backwards toward the exit.
"I live at your house Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth told me, smiling and giggling.
"Too bad." I turned around… and was met face-first by a pole. Shit. I fell to the floor and faintly heard Annabeth crack up and ran up to me to make sure I wasn't too injured. Such a good girlfriend.
Who am I kidding? If that had happened to her I would've done the same thing. So much for making a cool exit…
"Ughh." I rolled around so my back was on the ground. I put one of my elbows to lift me up while my other hand went to feel the giant knot on my head.
Annabeth crouched next to me still trembling with laughter. "Dew you wan me to kiss it Seaweed Bwain?" she asked me in a baby voice. Huh, I could use this to my advantage.
I nodded innocently, puppy dog eyes wide, and watched her lean I closer shaking her head at my immaturity. She lightly kissed my bump and turned to look at me. I groaned and laid back down on the ground.
"That didn't help." I whined.
"Too bad," she quoted me, well minus for the face-planting a pole part, "Cause the bell rings in five."
Annabeth helped me up and I leaned on. "Wait, I need another kiss."
"And why may that be?"
"Uh, well…look! Can't a guy get a kiss from his girlfriend?" I exclaimed. She giggled and kissed my cheek before running away.
"Hey! No fair!" I yelled as I ran after her. We burst into the now full hall and stopped, me almost toppling into Annabeth. Most people stopped and looked at us funny. I couldn't help it, I cracked up. So did Annabeth.
Ohh, I can't wait for tonight.
Short but funny chap guys! I am now in a better mood. Hope you guys like the play thing…
