Also I have been forgetting my disclaimer so: This story is mine, not the characters. If I owned Percy Jackson, Octavian would end up in the Fields of Punishment dipped in cheese fondue! Enjoy :D
Annabeth POV:
The next few days kind of melded together. I started to make some friends in other sections. Mostly Percy's gang of rebels, which included Percy, Jason, Thalia, Grover and Juniper, Piper (who everybody knows has a crush on Jason and he likes her too), Leo (came in two days late and still made the snare line), and Nico. These guys were not only my friends, but my protection from Luke. I feel bad for letting them protect me like that, but Percy himself was in charge of keeping Luke from getting to me. I asked Grover about it and he just replied, "Percy his fiercely loyal to his friends. He won't let anyone hurt his friends, no matter what happens to him." It was kind of sweet. I mean I met him a few days ago, but he likes me enough to protect me from other people. On the other hand, I'm not some weakling and I can take care of myself I can….
"Pass the Ketchup please," I heard someone say. "Huh?" Yeah, real intelligent Annabeth.
I heard some people chuckle then Percy say, "I asked you to pass the ketchup, Annabeth. Were you day dreaming about me?" He laughed a little bit and I could feel my face getting a little warm and red. "Not on your life Seaweed Brain!" I had no idea where that nickname came from, but it sounded good.
"Seaweed brain? Why that?" He actually looked confused. Got him, "It's because your brain is made out of Seaweed, duh. Why else would you be so proud to be a trumpet!" Then I laughed. He looked offended for a second, then his signature smirk came back and he said, "Well then, Wise Girl, looks like your nickname will stick as well." I huffed. Wise Girl? It's not bad, but I suddenly heard Piper and Selina squeal behind me.
"They have pet names for each other!" "I'll start planning the wedding!" I could understand this from Selina, but it takes a lot, I've learned, for Piper to channel their mother. Selina and Piper are step-sisters living in their mother's house. Their mother is known as Aphrodite, yeah, the super model. So they both are seriously beautiful, even when Piper tries to tone it down with cutting her own hair and braiding it herself rather than her mom's stylists. Anyway, I turned red and so did Percy. They would have kept going if Luke hadn't walked near our table. That shut everybody up; Percy grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close to him, which this time, I didn't make a fuss. Everybody started giving Luke a death glare, which he returned in kind. He then made his way to the center of the room and blew his whistle.
"Alright people, listen up! We have a new member of the band. He will be considered a returning member, as he has been in a band for 2 years already. I want to introduce you all to a new Mellophone player: Malcolm Chase!" He clapped, but he didn't look too happy about it. My mind was racing though. Malcolm?! I thought he stayed back in San Francisco with Mom! What is he doing here? My thoughts were interrupted by the nagging feeling you get when someone is staring at you, and as it turns out, yeah someone was. Well, it was more like the entire table rather than just someone. "Yes, Malcolm is my half-brother. No, I didn't know he was coming." The group had a confused look on their face and I realized that Percy still had his arm around my waist. I playfully pushed him away, my face getting red and hot again.
"Hey, Annie! Good to see you again." I glared at the approaching Malcolm who was grinning like an idiot. "What are you doing here Malcolm? I thought you stayed with mom back in San Francisco?"
"Mom got worried, so she sent me to keep an eye on my freshman sister." More daggers glared, but I started introducing my friends to him. I blushed again and grinned when I introduced Percy. Shit, I hope no one caught that. Unfortunately, I saw Percy and Malcolm's eyebrows go up. Shit.
Luke blew his whistle again and yelled, "Lunch is over! Sectionals start in 5!" Well that was lucky…
"See you later Annabeth," both Percy and my brother say at the same time. Uh, oh this won't end well. Luckily, Mello sectionals were on the other side of the school so I was able to walk with Percy. It has only been a week of Band camp, but his band tan was looking pretty nice. It really brought out his bright, sea green eyes. His messy black hair and his smile that makes you wonder if he was planning a prank. He was walking with his trumpet spinning in his hand when out of nowhere he says, "So Annabeth," This jolts me out of my daydream, "I was thinking…would you like to go out on Saturday? Maybe get some ice cream in central…" "YES!" I might have said that a little too fast, but I kinda want to spend some time with him outside of band. He kept going for a little bit, "Come on Annabeth! I really want to get to…know…you just said yes didn't you?" I nodded, laughing inside at his Kelp headedness, "Oh, well awesome. We could go right after lunch and then we could…OW" He was rambling and we had a minute to get to sectionals before Luke went bananas.
"Come on Seaweed Brain! Let's get you to sectionals before Luke yells at you even more!" He laughs it off, but I could tell that when I mentioned Luke, his eyes, and expression got a tad darker. We got him to sectionals with a few seconds to spare, but Luke still started yelling. I couldn't help but laugh. Not because Percy was getting yelled at, but because he actually asked me out. This season might get interesting
What is this? It's a line break! It will take you to the end of the day. Don't forget your exit buddy
Percy POV:
She said she would go out with ME! I was so happy, I didn't even care that Luke yelled at me all of trumpet sectionals (which I still beasted, but my "tone was off" or something stupid like that) and gave me a death glare the entire rest of the day. I don't care, Annabeth is gonna go on a date with me! It makes me truly happy since she broke up with me. No, no I can't think about her, she is gone and I am starting over with someone who might truly love me. This will be a great week, no matter what happens.
I think we lost some people so I rehired Steve the line break to be our exit buddy as we reach Friday…
Tomorrow is almost here! Today is just a quick 9-1 practice and we are home free. I get to hang with my group and then I can go to Central Park and have a day with Annabeth! My day couldn't get better! Luke blew his whistle and we gathered around the podium. Mr. D was actually here for rehearsal today and he actually talked to us today.
"Alright everybody, great week of work, come ready to work on Jupiter since we are only doing Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn. Those 5 are our best bet to win this year, and Jupiter will be our crowning moment. So do your best and actually practice when you go home. Also we have a new member. She will be one of our new guard girls this year. Everybody meet," Oh, shit! This can't be happening right now! Why is she here? I thought she went to the other school?
"Calypso"
A/N: Boy, I can be an ass can't I? I love you all! :D Will Percabeth survive Calypso's arrival at Goode, or will it crash and burn before it even starts? Find out next time!
PERCABETH FOREVER!
