Chapter six

Percy's POV

I led Annabeth away from where Luke was standing. He didn't even care that she was mad at him! I hated it when Annabeth was mad at me, it made me feel so empty inside I couldn't take it.

"Thanks Percy" I heard her mutter. I looked down to see that the anger had been replaced with sadness. I had yet another reason to hate Luke.

"Welcome, Wise Girl." She smiled up at me. Her smiles always have the same effect on me, always so dazzling that they took my breath away. It sounded like some crappy romance novel, but it was true. Besides Annabeth didn't have any interest in me, I was just a friend.

I sighed, that thought always made me depressed. Annabeth picked up on my mood as quickly as always.

"Come on, lets go and get your schedule.. see what classes we have together." I nodded.

"Okay."

It turned out we had most classes together. I looked down at my schedule for the hundredth time in five minutes.

English

Math

Swimming

Greek Mythology

-Lunch

Reading

Science

Gym

The only class I didn't have with Annabeth was math- the class I needed her help the most in. I wasn't a all F student, I could keep at least a C most of the time but I sucked at math. But at least I had one class I was good in.

Greek Mythology. I knew

"Hey Annabeth" I heard two voices chorus. I looked up to see to guys about our age nodding to Annabeth. I was at least an inch taller than them, I noted with satisfaction.

"Hey, guys" She motioned to me.

"This is Percy Jackson, Percy this is Conner and Travis Stoll." Each nodded at his name and muttered something alone the line of "Hey" or "Whats up"

"Annabeth!" I heard a girl squeal. She gave me an apologetic look.

"That's Silena Beauregard. I'll be right back." She stated before hurrying off to meet the other girl. who was standing by lockers further down the hallway.

"Soo.." Conner started "What's your schedule?" I handed it to him, and he began to scan over it, his brother Travis glancing over Conner's shoulder.

A mischievous grin spread across their faces at almost the same time, it actually freaked me out a little, how they did things at nearly the exact same time.

"Dude, you get to see Annabeth in a swim suit." Travis said.

"Yeah. Some guys would kill for that chance." Conner added I felt a strong blush start to creep across my face. I wouldn't doubt that some would kill to see her in a swim suit.

"Hah!" They both laughed at once "So you do like her. I don't blame you though.. and I think you would be a WAY better boyfriend than Luke" Travis finished. Apparently they liked Luke about just as much as I did.

Whoa what! Annabeth Chase, the girl of my dreams and best friend, was going out with a jerk like Luke?

"Why the hell would she go out with him?" They picked up on the hate at the word him.

"I know man," said Conner as Travis patted me on the back and shook his head. "she deserves so much better. The only reason that he's with her is cause shes hot, and that some guys bet him that he could never get into her pants."

"It wasn't you guys, right?" I said giving them my full on death glare.

"No- no- no- no- no. Annabeth's like our little sister. The only thing keeping us from beating Castellan into a pulp is that she has a crush on him." Travis clarified for his brother.

I felt unbelievably jealous. It seemed to just eat away at my insides.

I was about suggest that we beat him to a pulp anyway, when Annabeth walked up.

Annabeth's POV

I stood over to the side of the hallway near the stairs, with lockers at my back, talking with Silena. She was one of my best friends here, but sometimes I'd rather not talk to her. Now was one of those times.

"Ohh.. Who is that? He's so cute!" she squealed, looking directly at Percy. Something about the way she looked at him set me on edge. It wasn't like she was undressing him with her eyes like I saw some girls doing.

"Silena, you have a boyfriend.. remember?" she nodded.

"Of course. How could I forget, anyway its not that I would want to go out with him." he defensiveness over Percy started to kick-in again, making me say things that I would never say aloud. I mean NEVER!

Ohh.. cliffie! It's getting kinda late so I'm gonna go to bed. I sleepy:/ Ahem.. anyway REVIEW please I love reviews and they help me write a lot!

Well nite all!
