A/N: Hello again! I'm sorry for the lack of writing; band, school, and my insane life are all in full swing and I can't seem to get a hold of it. I will try, but in the meantime: ANSWERING REVIEWS!
To fanfictionaddiction: these are high school students and this is rated T. When I was in high school, every other word my friends uttered was curse words. I am keeping it down already, but that's the best I can do. Games will be coming soon…
That's all I needed to address….time to fanfic! Everybody remember who everyone is and what they play? No? GOOD let's get started *slam* huh? What? I…OW! OK fine! I don't own any characters or anything else for that matter since I am a poor college student….happy? *slam* Well that was weird…
Percy POV:
"Hey Percy!" I cringed at the sound of Calypso's voice. Why is she even here!? I tried to sound about as uninterested as I possibly could, "Hi Calypso" I also held Annabeth a little bit closer. "Have you met Annabeth? She's my…" I paused for a minute, not knowing what to call Annabeth.
"I'm his girlfriend," Annabeth replied matter-of-factly. I smiled wide. I'm not sure if she was just calling herself that because of Calypso, but I liked the sound of that. "Yeah, Annabeth is my girlfriend." I smiled wider as I heard myself say it.
"Nice to meet you Annabeth," Calypso said through gritted teeth, which made me grin wider. This girl had used me and left me out to dry. I want her to see how happy I am without her. I don't want her to do anything at my new high school, or my new friends. I sensed the tension in the air and decided it was time to end this, "Well this was great, but we gotta go. We'll see you Monday, Calypso." I walked off, hand in hand with Annabeth. When we got back to the band room Annabeth turned to me and looked me dead in the eye.
"Percy, who was that girl?" Her eyes were a very dark gray, like a storm that was about to hit. I sighed; she was bound to find out eventually. I just wanted to be the one to tell her. "That was Calypso, my ex-girlfriend. We dated in 7th grade and then she moved to the other side of town. She took me and wrapped me around her finger. I would do anything for her, and she took advantage of that." Tears were rolling down my face at this point, "She tore me to pieces and I didn't realize until we broke up how much I had changed. I never want to be like that again."
The last thing I happened: she slapped me. I looked at her and she was crying as well. "Don't ever let anyone change you from the person you are Seaweed Brain. There are people here who love you, count on you, and look up to you. Don't you change…ever." Then she pulled me close and gave me the biggest hug I've ever gotten. She squeezed me and my heartbreak and hurt just melted away. Then she squeezed harder.
"Ow ow ow ok I get it Wise Girl," I started laughing and coughing and she started laughing as well. The rest of our group walked in with confused looks on their faces and we ended up on the ground laughing.
Hey look it's Jenna the line break. We are skipping the date and going to the first performance
Annabeth POV:
It's been a week since my date with Percy and it couldn't have been better. He was so sweet and thoughtful, even if he could be oblivious sometimes. Of course it would be Luke to jar me out of my little day dream.
*WHISTLE* "Alright GHS band! Get suited up! The game starts in an hour and we have to be in the block to march to the stands in 15!" Seriously? He is giving us 15 minutes to get into our band uniforms? Our uniforms had purple bibbers with a white jacket. The jacket had a silver GH over the heart and a zipper hidden by a white strip of fabric. The shako was plain purple with a white plume. It was brand new for this year, so we didn't have to deal with people getting tents for uniforms. (A/N: it happens trust me) Luckily, we all made it on time. We marched down to the stadium and got set up in the stands. We were playing the normal high school band stuff: Louie Louie, Hey Baby, Seven Nation Army, the works.
Hey the football team sucks, let's skip to halftime
Still Annabeth POV:
We march onto the field, ¾ of the crowd band parents and supporters (the football team is down 20-0. They suck eggs). Luke gets up on his podium and salutes.
"Goode High School, you may take the field in exhibition" Luke turns around and gives us the count off and Mars begins. With the power of the piece, it was easy to see the crowds awe at how good we were, and I loved every second of it. The crowd got to its feet when we put our horns down, then Ethan, Luke's second in command, got onto the podium on the right side (he can only be on that side because of an eye injury that leaves him with an eye patch on his right eye. He can't see on the left podium) and we begin Venus. The crowd sways with light melody as Grover walks to the mic to take his clarinet solo. While he does that, Percy and I move to the back of the form and prepare. Grover starts his solo and halfway through we join in and the crowd goes nuts. It was only for a second, but it was so perfect I couldn't help but feel pride. A freshman, no, two freshmen having solos is unheard of, and we just made the sets. I was so happy I couldn't tell that a guard girl was too close to me.
*WHAP*
A/N: Well that was a hard hitting event wasn't it? I am going to try and get more chapters out a little faster, but I haven't had a lot of sleep. I hope you guys like what I did with Ethan, but if you don't, too bad. I will do my best to continue on through the season and then I will have a few surprises afterward that you might like. Hold on cause this isn't over by a longshot!
PERCABETH FOREVER!
