Percy's POV
"I'd like that. Thank you Percy. Can we go to Wendy's?" Leo asked. Wendy's. Making burgers and chili since '69. So I was just walking by, and then I see that asshole, Luke, bullying Leo. I see Annabeth staring at him with disapproval. Yeah, she's pretty nice, I would say, but she could've stood up to Luke right up there. Instead, she just watches. Watches and watches. So I decided to stand up to Luke. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size Castellan?" I said, pretty bravely. "Jackson? Why are you still denying that you belong in my group and not these losers?" Luke sneered. (I know, pretty messed up, isn't he, am I right? ) "The only losers that are in this school are you and your gang Luke. Leo is perfectly fine the way he is, as am I. I'll never be in you gang Luke. Also, I'll only repeat this once, let Leo go." I retorted. "And what if I don't?" Luke asked.
"You know just as well as everyone else, I'm just as skilled of a fighter as you are. So unless you want to be utterly humiliated in front of the entire school, I suggest you let him go." I said. He backed away, with a look that clearly said, This isn't over. I looked back at him, this time my look said, Well, it is now. So what happened at Wendy's you ask? Well, it starts out like this. "Mm. Thanks, Perce." Leo said, stuffing his face with a hamburger. "Hey, no prob dude." I said, reassuringly. "Whoa." Leo said. "What?" I asked.
"Someone just started a food fight. And it looks like two chicks started it." Leo said, with his eyes wide open. "IT WAS MINE FIRST!" A voice shouted. "NO, IT'S MINE!" Another one screamed. They started to throw food at each other. "FOOD FIGHT!" Someone yelled. You want me to tell you what happened next? Weeeell, it happened like this. "Leo, we've got to get out of here." I said. "But-but my beautiful burger. And what about my fries?" Leo said. "Just put it in the bag." I said using a tray to shield us. "Okay." Leo said.
We dodged nuggets, buns, meat, ketchup, mustard, and the worst one: chili. It was thrown all over the place, walls, pictures, bins, clothes, and even at the workers. "DOOOOOOOOOOOR!" Leo shouted. We opened it together as fast as a small chili was thrown at us. "Well. I'm never going to Wendy's again." I said. "Suit yourself." Leo said as he began to eat the leftovers of his lunch.
After that experience, we went back to school. Going to classes, talking to friends during homeroom, making fun of Luke, and passing notes to each other while the teacher doesn't see. RINNNNGGG. "Class is dismissed, you may go home." The teacher said. I walked to a certain curly haired, Rasta cap wearing guy. "Hey Grover." I said. "Hey, Percy. You hear the news? Someone started a food fight at the Wendy's near Goode." he said. "Oh yeah." I smiled. "So much for just one bag of it." he snickered. "Yup. Well, see ya round, bro." I said, waving goodbye. "Bye, Perce." he said in reply. "Hey." A voice said behind me. "Uh, hi?" I said turning around. It was Annabeth. "Um, I'd like your help with something." Annabeth said. "What is it?" I asked. "You're on the swim team? Right?" She asked. "Yeah." I said. "Well, I was thinking about joining the girls' swim team here. But I don't know how to do the backstroke. So I was thinking about asking you." She explained. "Yeah, sure," I said. "How about tomorrow around 4:00?" "Sounds great."
Annabeth's POV
Yes! I just scored a date with Percy Jackson! Er, kind of a date, but still counts! I ran all the way home and greeted my mom. "Hi, sweetie!" Mom, (her name's Athena) said. "Mom, I got an A+ on my biology test! The teacher loved it so much she gave me 15 extra points!" I said excitedly. "That's fantastic, hon!" She said. "Oh, and got an A on my pop quiz! I can't wait to tell dad!" I shouted. "That's great! Oh, can you tell your brother to get his clothes?" she asked. "Yeah, sure." I said. "Thanks, sweetie." she said. "MAAAAAAAAAAALLLLCOLMMMM!" I shouted. "Yeah?" A voice said. "Mom wants you to get you clothes." I shouted back. "Okay. Be down there in a sec." Malcolm shouted down. I went up stairs to my room. I laid down staring at the walls love struck thinking about a certain raven-haired green-eyed boy. I thought to myself, That's a great idea I came up with. I'll see his abs. His hard, beautiful abs. "ANNABETH SOPHIA GRACE! COME DOWN HERE!" A voice shouted. "Oops!" I shouted a little loud. I came down. "Annabeth, I called out your name 5 times!" Athena shouted. "Sorry, mom. I was kinda tired today, but I'll do extra chores!" I suggested. "No, it's okay, just don't do it again, alright?" she said, her shoulders relaxing a little. "I need you to get the groceries on Friday, cause I have an appointment with the doctor." she said. "Oh, sure," I said. "Thanks hon. Do you have any homework?" she asked. "No, so I'm just gonna take a nap and then read." I said. "Okay." she said, going back to her Time magazine. I went back to my room. I turned on my Ipod and listened to my playlists. I felt in the mood for love songs so I put it on shuffle.
I don't know but I think I maybe
Fallin' for you dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I know you better
I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life and now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you.
I'm falling for you.
Falling. That's it. That's the word I'm looking for. I am falling for him. I'm falling for Percy Jackson.
So, I know you guys don't know me buuut I am a little humorous and romantic and a song person too. I hope to know you guys better too. So keep calm, read on, and HASTA LUEGO! WAIT! I'm not Spanish, I'm actually Asian, but I always end my chapters with a little goodbye, so...Daughterorwater22 out.
