Hey guys! So, I am SO excited right now… MY TEAM WON SECOND PLACE IN OUR SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT OUT OF 5 TEAMS! We played 7 games in two days, all back to back with 10 minute breaks in between each game, and I pitched EVERY game! I'M SO HAPPY!
Okay, enough of my ranting… Here is the brand new chapter all about Percy and Annabeth's relationship!
Enjoy!
Waiting for Science class to be over, I tapped my pencil against my book, hoping the bell would ring quickly. I sat next to a boy named Travis, the most annoying and prank-filled boy I had ever met.
"Hey Anniebeth." He said. I turned to face towards him. I grabbed the collar of his shirt, and pulled him inches from my face.
"If you ever talk to me again, you're face will be rearranged. Got it?" I asked. He nodded, frightened, and I released his shirt from my grasp. Finally, the bell rang, and I packed up my stuff, and nearly bolted to my fifth period.
LINE BREAK
"Percy!" I yelled. He was texting on his phone during class, not caring if he got in trouble or not. I stared into his green pools as his black, curly hair turned upward as he looked at me.
"Why do you care?" He asked. I almost blushed.
"Because I don't want you to get in trouble." I said. Percy sighed and put his phone away.
"What do I need to do?" He asked me. I smiled, and handed him the directions to show him how to flip a crepe.
"Like this?" He asked. I laughed, and took the spatula in my hand, holding his.
"More flip, less grab." I said. I flipped his crepe, and walked back over to finish the dishes. Later, we had one crepe left.
"What are we going to do with it?" Percy asked. I smiled, and grabbed a plate.
"Go ask Mrs. Gretch to cover it in chocolate and fill it with strawberries!" I said cheerfully. Percy walked over, and had the teacher fill it with my instructions. He walked back over, and I took out a fork for him to eat it with.
"You want me to eat it?" He asked. I gave him a duh face, and walked over to our table where my backpack was. Suddenly, I could hear Mrs. Gretch yelling at Percy.
"Perseus! I said ONE PER PERSON! Detention young man!" She said. Percy shook his head, and walked past me, brushing my shoulder with force. I crossed my arms over my shoulder, and turned around to face him.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked. Percy looked at me.
"You got me in trouble! I promised my mom that I would not get in trouble anymore, and now I have a freaking detention!" He yelled. I looked at the ground.
"I'll be back." I said. I walked over to Mrs. Gretch, and told her it was my fault.
"Well, Ms. Chase, since you did break the rules, you have a choice. You can either fail this assignment, or receive a detention." She said. I thought it over, and picked failing the assignment.
"Annabeth failed an assignment!" Austin said to Percy. Percy shook his head at me, then the bell rang. When everyone left, I stayed with Percy, so Mrs. Gretch could talk to both of us. Her phone rang, and she had to go to the office.
"I'll be right back. Can I trust you two alone?" She asked. I nodded, and watched as she walked out of the room and locked the door. Immediately, Percy sighed.
"You could've just let me get in trouble." He said. I turned towards him.
"Make up your mind. I can get in trouble, or you could. Either way, we're busted, so move on." I said rudely. Shaking my head, I walked over to where he was sitting, and sat down next to him.
"Sorry I was so angry earlier. I just… My mom and I got in a huge fight a while ago about how it's only the third day of school, and I've already received 4 detentions. I promised her I wouldn't get in trouble anymore." Percy said. I giggled.
"Four?" I asked. Percy nodded. I turned him towards me and raised his head, since he had been looking down. "If you want my help, I can help you not get in trouble. I promise." He smiled.
"Thanks. Would you mind doing my math homework?" He asked. I looked at him funny. "Fine. Will you help me?" He asked. I nodded, and smiled at him. Mrs. Gretch walked in and gave us a lecture about rules and how we have to enforce them for everyone else.
"I'm sorry again Mrs. Gretch." I said. Mrs. Gretch sighed.
"I've decided that I will revoke your F and the detention for Percy." I thanked her, and grabbed my backpack to leave. Percy and I walked out of the classroom together, towards the Library to go study.
Wow! Okay, so this isn't my best chapter, only because I can't really write about that day any better than this. Anyway, please review!
