Annabeth

Well, I can now say lying in bed all day just sucks. I told my dad this morning that I'm fine, but he's following doctors orders. Which is funny, as he's never been to a doctor in almost thirty years. Yes, his last visit was when he was ten years old. Sad, huh?

Anyway, so I am bored out of my mind. I have nothing to do. Nothing good on t.v, I'm not one for video games, and I left my art book in my locker. So, yeah, bad day today. I don't even know if Percy will deliver my homework today. AH! Even thinking of his name is enough to send my heart racing. What is wrong with me? I've never fallen this hard for a boy, or this quickly. Maybe it's a crush. Yeah, yeah that has to be it. Just a high school crush that will be gone in a few days or weeks.

A knock at the door sends my heart soaring. Alright, now I have no choice but to admit the truth. I am hopelessly and utterly in love with Percy Jackson. Well, it may only be one of Percy's brothers or his sister. But, none of that matters to me. I love him, and most importantly, I have to keep it a secret from him.

I go down stairs to open the door, and I am both sad and glad that it's not Percy. God, that would have been just troublesome if it was Percy.

"Hi, my name is Tyson, Percy's brother. Are you Annabeth Chase?" I can't help but smile at his innocence. He hangs out with the jocks, that I can tell by looking at him, but he just has that look that he doesn't entirely know what's going on in the world.

"That is me. A pleasure to meet you Tyson." I say, shaking his hand.

"I'm sorry Percy is not here instead of me. He ran off a few days ago." Wait, he ran off?!

"He ran away?" I ask, taking my homework from him. He let's out a booming laugh, leaving me more confused.

"No, he just wanted to be alone and ran off for a few days. Something about his feelings for a girl I think." That hurt. He loves another girl, and I am just so stupid. I'm so foolish to believe he'd like a girl like me.

"Well, thank you for my homework, and for the information." Before he could reply, I shut the door so he wouldn't see tears come into my eyes. I can't believe I thought Percy would ever like me. Tears are now flowing freely down my face as I walk back up to my room. I hate my life at this particular moment.

Tyson

Shit, shit, shit! I didn't mean to make it sound Percy loves another girl. I completely forgot he loves Annabeth, and now I just made things a lot worse for the both of them. Mom just got a call from Percy, saying he over heard what happened and is staying out where ever he is for the rest of the week, him and his stupid hearing abilities. Of course he told mom to tell me not to blame myself, but I have to. Why? Oh, I don't know, maybe I just MESSED UP MY BROTHERS LIFE! Ugh, now I know why he runs off when he wants to be alone.

"Tyson, will you quite blaming yourself already? Percy already said he doesn't blame you. He'll straiten things out when he gets back." Mom tries yet again to get me to stop blaming me.

"Sorry ma. Not going to happen. Now please, leave me alone." She does, yelling at the others to leave me alone. When mom yells, you'd best just listen. Artemis didn't listen once, and got a mirror to the head. No blood or anything, but it did hurt her. So, now we all just listen. Still, I wish that I never said I'd give Annabeth her homework. I just made it all worse.


More later. R&R!
