Ok, sorry it took so long to update but i didn't check for a while, assumed no one read it and eventually forgot about it. Thanks for all the comments proding me to continue. Anyway i don't know if i am going to make another chapter but im thinking about it. U see this came to me in a dream (well kinda. I imagined Annabeth saying "Percy?" all surprised outside a school in the middle of fall or something like that and this is what it became) (i have WEIRD dreams) anyway so for the questions... This is set about a year after the Second Titan War. Percy and Annabeth are dating and going strong. The gods are real (luke is dead (for babycakes2222 ) and yeah i think that it. -randum person- "STOP TALKING I WANT TO READ" -chucks tomato- -tomato hit me due to lack of coordination- "i'll just shut up now"
He just stood there his eyes widened but his mouth shut.
We stared at each other for a few more seconds before he finally unfroze and said shakily "What are you doing here." I felt my cheeks reddening. I hadn't told Percy I had got suspended and switched schools.
I scoffed nervously and said, "Well, I could ask you the same thing?"
"But I asked first." He said as if he wanted to avoid the topic. I gave him a death glare. "Ok, sorry." He said raising his hands in surrender, " but wait." His eyes got big again with a confused look" You're supposed to be at an all girls boarding school." I sighed and looked at the floor in guilt.
"Annabeth?" he asked in bewilderment. "Wait, what?" he exclaimed loudly, completely confused.
"I got kicked out last year." I mumbled after a second.
"What?" he asked surprised. "Yeah, I got kicked out." I said a little louder.
"When?" he asked. "Last year." I told him taking a special interest in my sneakers. "Annabeth." He repeated in a soft voice. I looked up to see his amazing green eyes filled with hurt.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked still speaking quietly, and I could tell he was hurt by the fact that I hadn't told him anything.
I looked up at the sky just so I wouldn't have to meet those eyes. "I dunno." I said flatly.
"But Annabeth, we were together all summer." Implying the fact I had plenty of time to tell him.
"Look" I said finally looking him in the eyes, " I was about to tell you the day we met up on camp but it's just you we so excited that you had lasted three years at the same school and I dunno, I guess I was just embarrassed. Then I guess I just never got around to it." my eyes had gone down from shame I kept this from him. Then I felt something encircle my back. I felt on my shoulder the head of Percy.
"Look Wise Girl," he said using my nickname, though his tone was soft and gentle, " I'm so sorry I made you feel like you couldn't tell me something." With that he pulled away still hold my arms so I would face him.
"You can tell me anything." He told me solemnly. I cracked a smile and he brought me back into a hug. I smiled for a moment, but then I remembered something and pushed him away.
He looked at me startled from being pushed away. "Wait," I said suspiciously, "you never told me why you were here. What about Goode?" He scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously.
"Well, yeah about that," he started, " I was kinda kicked out, too. Immediate expulsion." I started laughing a little and he pouted.
"Hey." He complained. This just made me laugh more.
"So you give me some big 'we should trust each other speech' and you were keeping something from me?" I managed to say after I stopped laughing. He cracked a smile. The he brought his hands up in a welcoming position with a goofy ' wow, we were both stupid. Lets make-up like they do on TV by hugging' grin on his face. I came into his hug and chuckled a little. He squeezed me a little and we let go smiling.
"So," he said as we walked to the parking lot away from were the tree was hiding us from view earlier, " wanna tell me how you got kicked out?" he said in a goofy way. I gave him a playful 'do you really want me to hurt you' stare and he just laughed a little.
"So," I said copying his tone of voice which caused him to smirk, which caused me to laugh. He started to reach over and place the notebook he was still carrying into the backpack slung over his back.
I took the journal as he was twisting his body to get it in. "Hey." He protested but I turned away from him and opened the journal to revealed a picture a certain greened eyed boy holding a certain blondie, princess style in his arms, on the end of a pier on the back of the cover. It was the time they were posing for a picture in front of the lake and Percy ended up throwing me in into it. I have to admit after he jumped in we might have spent a little time at the bottom of the lake, …again.
I saw a hand grab for the notebook and I allowed it to take it. I turned to see my boyfriend blushing like crazy trying to shove the book in his pack. I laughed lightly and his blushed deepened.
"So that's what you were looking at?" I asked him my grin spreading from ear to ear. I smirked at his ever-reddening face.
I also noticed that a lot of the kids outside were looking at us. So far I was basically the unattainable one of the school. Plenty of cute guys had asked me out and I said no. Mostly because I have a boyfriend, but they didn't know that. Also I guess nobody expected that the extremely hot new kid would want anything to do with me. I saw a few people whispering to their friends and I joined Percy in blushing a little. I tried to ignore them though.
"So, " I said finally, to cause him more embarrassment (honestly I was kind of touched he missed me so much) " um, I actually came to talk to you about that uh Greek project for history." I explained. He looked a little confused so I said, "Yeah, Mr. White paired us up." He nodded awkwardly at the fact he didn't know we had been assigned partners. "I noticed you were a little busy." I said in a playful tone eyeing his backpack, which caused him to blush again. I laughed and eventually he started to smile.
"So I was wondering if you wanted to work on the project maybe after school?" I asked him. He looked like he was about to say yes but he caught himself and sighed,
"No, I don't think I can." He said sadly " I need to meet with the consoler about my schedule." He told me. I nodded and refused to have my perfect mood ruined.
"Tomorrow, then?" I asked. He smiled and nodded his head.
"How about my place." He suggested. "You're not staying at the dorms?" I asked him. "Nah, I need to stay close to my mom." He said then blushed a little. It was ok though. I already knew he was kinda a mama's boy and there was nothing wrong with that so I just nodded. This made him smile.
"So I'll see you tomorrow." He said and I expected him to walk off but before he did he leaned in and before I could tell what was happening his lips crashed into mine. It took me a second but I started to kiss back. It wasn't a very passionate kiss, I mean we were in public, but it was sweet and gentle. Just like him, I thought as he softly bit my lower lip. Sweet and gentle. He pulled away smiling a smile I returned.
And with that he walked off leaving me in a parking lot full of people staring at me in awe.
Unfortunately that included both Jen and Chris. This is gonna be a long night. I got the Hades outa that parking lot as soon as possible and made my way to my room.
+Page break!+
I was sitting in my room just lying on the bed, when Chris and Jen burst into my room.
"Ok, what the hell was that?" Chris demanded. Jen had a look of absolute agreement on her face. I sighed and arched an eyebrow.
"Nice to see you too. Oh my day, it was great. Thanks for asking." I said sarcastically. Jen and Chris just sat on the bed across from me and Jen said in a stern tone,
"Cut the crap, Annabeth." I looked at her in shock. Jen doesn't swear that often so she must be seriously excited ,or really pissed off, about this particular topic.
"Guys have been falling all over you for months and you turn them all down saying their jerks without getting to know them. Then all of a sudden, some new kid comes in and your already swapping saliva after knowing him for seven hours."
I leaned back on the headboard of my soft gray bed. "Well," I said awkwardly. "I haven't exactly known him for seven hours." They looked at me quizzically.
"How long have you known him?" Chris asked scooting closer. I cringed, thinking of the reaction this was probably gonna get.
"Well, uh five years." I said as if it was no big deal, though you still herd nervousness in my voice. They stared at me in udder shock.
"And he's kinda my boyfriend." I finished quietly.
"Your what!" Jen screamed as Chris's eyes got abnormally large.
"He's my boyfriend." I repeated not daring to look them in the (large) eyes.
"You have a boyfriend!" Chris yelled, and Jen finished for her "Since when?"
"Uh, over a year now." I just couldn't read their expressions. Shock, surprise, betrayed, anger, hunger, (oh curse you ADHD!).
"Why didn't you tell us?" Jen asked after a long pause, her voice resembling one of a mouse's.
"Well, it's just he's so…. Perfect. And I'm so… me." I said then gestured to myself. "I thought you wouldn't have believed me."
Chris and Jen looked at each other. Then when they looked back at me they both had an arched eyebrow and a smirk.
"What?" I said flatly.
"You gotta admit he's pretty hot." Jen said, her smile not failing. It was actually kind of contagious cause this caused me to crack a smile.
What's the point of having a boyfriend if you can't wave him around a bit.
"You should see his abs." I gloated, now smirking along with them.
"Can we?" Chris asked jokingly. I just shook my head and smiled.
" So what's his name, again." Jane asked scooting closer to me.
"Percy, Percy Jackson." I smiled.
" Percy?"
"Yeah short for Perseus." I giggled. A laugh got caught in Christine's throat and then we started cracking up. We all flopped over on the bed, clutching our stomachs, laughing.
"P-p-ers-seus." Jen said between laughs, which just made her laugh more. I nodded as I laughed.
We all finally stopped laughing we started wiping the tears from our eyes, the red in our faces beginning to fade.
"So what's he like?" Chris asked as we sat back up.
"Well, I'm almost positive he's part fish." I said smiling unnaturally large, because they didn't even know the half of it. I mean he's the son of Poseidon for crying out loud! I saw their faces riddled with confusion so I filled them in with a half-truth.
"He loves water. Can hold his breathe long, swims supper fast, and trust me, spends every free second in it."
I beamed with pride, even if it was a natural born talent. "What else." Chris asked, their interest growing. "He's not the smartest fish in the school." I said making a joke at my previous comment. They just looked a bit surprised. I mean academics have always been really important to me. I guess everyone assumed if I were to date it would be some computer nerd, mathlete with a scholarship to the Ivy League or something. But they just shrugged it off.
"Wait you said you had known him for five years, right?" Jen asked.
"Yeah."
"And how long did you like him?" I put an annoyed look on my face, though directed at Percy.
"About three." They looked at me in shock.
"Were you making any hints or something." I put on an exasperated face.
"I kissed him at fourteen." I said flatly. "And he finally got the memo at 16."
"Wow, talk about clueless." Christine said. "No offense though." She added quickly.
"None taken," I said. Then smiled " he kinda is."
***PAGE BREAK***
I had just finish combing my hair when I heard a knock on my dorm door. Chris sprang from the bed and ran to the door. She yanked it open.
"Hi." She said sweetly but definitely not flirtily to the person on the other side of the door.
I got up from my desk to see seaweed brain, wearing a dark green shirt and some baggy jeans. His hair messed up and uncombed hanging over his forehead as usual.
"What's up Seaweed Brain?" I asked him casually, packing the last of my things into my backpack.
"Nothing much Wise Girl." He said grinning from his spot at the door. I looked up to see Christine with a look of confusion set across her face.
"Oh that," I said, seeing she was referring to the nicknames. "Oh, it's just what we call each other sometimes." I explained blushing. Her confusion turned into a held back laugh.
I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door telling Christine I'd be back later, and with that we made our way to the door and eventually the car.
His car is exactly what it should have been. It was a slightly rusty white with a giant blue stripe right down the spine.
"Like it?" he asked grinning. I nodded as he open the door for me. The inside smelled like salt water. Then he climbed into the driver's seat and for the rest of the ride we just mad small talk. Including a few comments on the fuzzy dice hanging from his rear view mirror.
As we approached his apartment building he slowed down and parked at the curb. I started going for the door but before I could he pressed the lock button on his keys and the door locked.
"Uh, uh uhhh" he said pretending to scold me then slipped out of his seat and closed the door. He rounded the car the unlocked the door to open it for me. I punched him in the arm as soon as I got out. He grabbed at his shoulder
"Hey, I was just trying to be gentlemanly and open the door for you." He complained, jokingly.
"You are the worst gentlemen ever." I joked. He gave me another goofy grin, which I laughed at and led me upstairs.
When I went into his bedroom I almost knew what it was like to be able to breathe under water. The walls were a strange blue that rippled in the sunlight making it seem as if it were rolling waves. The furniture was also blue along with a blue bed. I had been in his room before but it's ability to be so blue amazed me, which scared me.
He closed the door behind us as I sat on the blue carpet that lay over the dark wooded floor. He sat next to me and leaned back on his hands. I pulled my laptop from my backpack and turned it on. Percy groaned.
"Strait to the work, uh?" he asked. I gave him a knowing smile. Then I searched 'Greek history' on Google.
I pulled up a bunch of links but there was nothing new to me. "Ug." I complained, " I already know this stuff."
Percy started scooting over so he was sitting next to me to see the screen. He leaned in to look at the laptop and I felt the side of his head inches from mine.
"Well…" he said mischievously. I turned to see Percy still leaning into me but his eyes had left the laptop. "If we already know this stuff.." he trailed off.
I looked back at the laptop down seeing what he was trying to do.
"Come on," I protested." If we don't study the culture why don't we study the uh, artifacts?" I suggested the first thing that came to my head.
"Well as descendants of the gods," he whispered, causing me to turn, "we could be considered artifacts too." He tried to reason jokingly, as his breath warmed my lips. He had won, I thought to myself. No you just want him to kiss you, I argued to myself. True. I considered it. We started to close the gap between us as I felt his immense warm lip start to caress mine. He pulled me a little closer and we leaned into each other. His kisses were soft, gentle, passionate.
She felt a tingling on my lips as they brushed again and I rose her hand to his cheek and rested it there gently. As usual Percy would let the kiss remain in the same gear as it started, never asking for more. He pulled away slowly grinning goofily. I blushed a little as he smiled at me and brought his hand up to my cheek to match mine. He caressed my cheek with his thumb before leaning in for another very short peck. I smiled at him and he placed his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on him as we leaned on the wall.
I felt his heart beat through my head, almost as if we were body and soul, which made me, snuggled deeper into his chest. He ran his fingers through my hair and we just sat there enjoying each other company.
"So," he said after a while. I looked up at him from his chest and smiled. "Wanna watch a movie?" he suggested and I laughed. "Sure."
"One more thing," he said lifting me up and placing on his lap, which caused me to squeal with delight. "Wanna go out or just Netflix it. "
"Hmmmmm." I said pretending to think. I did like what we were doing.
"Netflix." I decided. He nodded in agreement and lifted me off his lap, which made me a little sad. I guess I should have known he would have to.
"How about I go make the popcorn," he suggested "and you pick the movie." I smiled at his offer and he disappeared out the doorway. I grabbed my laptop and picked out a good action adventure. He returned with a big bowl of popcorn and came up next to me on the bed. The corner of the screen told me it was 7 pm, plenty if time to watch a movie. After I set up the screen I sat next to him but before I pressed play he stopped me,
"Hey you can't get away from me that easy," he joked taking the bowl of popcorn off his lap and replacing it with me. I smiled as we settled in for the movie. Before I knew it, the movie ended. I turned to look at Percy to see his head cocked all the way over to one side, his mouth wide open, his eyes shut tight, and a tiny trail of drool making it's way from his mouth to his chin.
I smirked at my sleeping boyfriend.
Ok so I was checking the comments and I saw one that made me regret a decision made w/out ,uh...whats it called, consent? Either way, so someone asked if I should make Percy live in a dorm instead? Well? What do you think. SHould Percy possibly switch after getting settled in, or just remain home. Please answer (very self consious and needy of other's consent) (yeah, i need a life) (irrelevent) (why am i doing this) (uh, you can leave now) (i still don't know where this is going) (cheese) (uh, yeah LEAVE)
