Chapter 2
Charlie Anderson POV
Sitting in class listening to a teacher go on and on and on and on about world history is boring, I can tell you that. But what is interesting is the fact that Percy always goes to summer camp every year, when we ask him about it he would give us different answers each time. I know there's something different about Percy but I can never put my finger on it. The bell rings signalling the end of class. We all got up and hurried out of the classroom. I followed Percy to his locker, number 435 which was slightly more bashed up then all the other lockers due to a slight incident last year. I'm not going to say much about what happened but let's just say it involved whipped cream, a small toy dog and a hell lot of duct tape, once again I reminding you we aren't the best students.
"Who's that?" I suddenly realised a picture of a really pretty blonde girl with curly hair and the most striking grey eyes. I noticed that Percy's arms were wrapped around her waist and her's around his neck.
"She." he pointing at the blonde. "is my girlfriend" That line had me bursting into laughter. It's not that Percy is ugly quite the opposite infact he is 'like tots hot' or at least that's what the female population of goode said. There was no possible way that my bestfriend, the same one involved in the toy dog incident, a fire incident, a canon incident and the bus explosion incident (bloody hell he gets into trouble, ALOT) can have such a beautiful girlfriend.
"Photoshop!" It has to be.
"Dude I don't even use computers how do you think I photoshopped this picture." He replied, it is true through the 2 years I've know him he has basically never touched an electronic device. This just adds more to the 'Mystery of Percy Jackson'.
"Okay mate, I need you to be completely honest with me" I said slowly, he nodded in reply.
"How much did you pay her?" I asked being semi serious. He burst out laughing to a point where I thought he didn't breathe.
"Nothing" He finally musters out.
"So is she like doing charity work helping the unfortunate like you?" That just made him laugh harder.
"The only person really doing charity work around here is Skyler" He mentions my girlfriend of 3 months
"Oh please Skye should start paying me" I retorted. I missed conversations like this over the summer.
"I should be paying you for what?" I hear the angelic voice of Skyler May Taylor. Skye also went to this mysterious summer camp that I know nothing about. She went in to give me a kiss on the cheek thats when I noticed she had a faint scar on the back of her jawline.
"Hey babe, where did this come from?" I cupped my hand on her cheeks.
"Ohh umm a cat scratched me" she hesitated before answering me.
"You don't have a cat" I asked suspiciously.
"My neighbour's cat" she replied quickly.
I let it go since I didn't want to make a big fuss.
"Oh would you look at the time I have a rehearsal to get to" She looks down to her wristwatch and runs off into the direction of the drama theatre. Skye does musicals professionally, her dream is to make it on broadway. I think it won't take long for her to make it at the rate she's going.
"Do you know where that scar is from?" I asked Percy. He simply shrugged. I just watched my girlfriend's black asian hair disappear down the hall. Women are on the long list of things I don't understand that includes how Percy got a girlfriend.
