Chapter 4 – New Encounters Part 1
~Percy POV~
I looked at Bianca and she was looking at me with a grin, so I looked away but I blushed. I think she caught me staring at the new girl. But which straight guy wouldn't? I mean, she's gorgeous.
But unlike the other guys, I wasn't looking at her…uhhmm….body. All the others were looking at her bottom half and winking at her. Sick jerks. Not me. I was lost in her eyes. Beautiful grey eyes. She was looking at the class as if trying to memorize every detail, every face in the room. Then she caught my eyes. Her eyes reminded me of a god I met on Olympus, but I couldn't put a finger on which one. Oh well, no use wasting brain cells on that. I don't have any to spare.
I was brought back down to Earth by out teacher's voice.
"Ok Miss Chase, you can sit next to Miss Di Angelo. If you need anything, ask her or me," said Mrs. Strife with a smile. At least our Math teacher was friendly.
She came over and sat down. Bianca introduced us.
"Hi, I'm Bianca," she said with a smile. Then she pointed at me and said "And this is Percy Jackson." I smiled nervously and waved.
"I'm Annabeth. Nice to meet both of you," she said and looked at the teacher who had started the lesson.
So that angel was named Annabeth. Wait, what? Angel? Dude, pull yourself together!
I shook my head a bit and looked at the teacher.
I tried to pay attention, but Math was hard. Bianca and Annabeth apparently found it easy, so they understood the lesson. Lucky them. But to be completely honest, I had another reason why I couldn't focus on the lesson. At moments, I would steal a glance at Annabeth.
She was beautiful. Her blonde hair matched her slightly tan face perfectly. And those grey eyes went well with her hair. But one time, I looked at her too much and Bianca caught me. She gave me a grin and raised an eyebrow. I looked at the teacher, trying to look innocent, but I blushed and that ruined it all. Damn it! I can't help it if she's really cute, hot, sexy…..whoa there! Calm down man. This is the 1st time you saw a gorgeous girl, apart from Aphrodite and Bianca because they would kill me if I said otherwise, so control yourself.
"Uhhh…this is going to be one hell of a lesson," I thought with a groan and I tried to focus on what the teacher was saying.
She was explaining something new but has been mentioned in the previous years. Something about Pythagoras and triangles. Oh, what the hell. I don't need all this. Just give me a sword and a target and I'll get the job done, no problem. Then I started to remember some monsters Nico and I fought. We killed furies, hellhounds, cyclopses and a couple of hydras here and there. I smiled at the memories.
I was remembering all this when I heard the teacher say "Mr. Jackson, care to answer the question on the board?"
That instantly brought me back from dream mode. I was confused and just stared. Annabeth and Bianca raised their hands.
Mrs. Strife sighed and said, "Miss Chase, could you please answer the question?"
"63," said Annabeth.
"Well done Miss Chase," Mrs. Strife said with a smile. Then she turned to me and that smile turned into a frown. "Mr. Jackson, you could learn a thing or 2 from Miss Chase and Miss Di Angelo."
And with that, everyone but Annabeth and Bianca laughed at me. Forget what I said about the teacher being friendly. I blushed and stared at my table.
Thankfully, the bell rang at that moment.
All 3 of us stood up and packed out stuff. Bianca, the friendly person that she is, tried to make friends with Annabeth.
"So, Annabeth, what do you have now?" she asked.
"English," Annabeth said a bit shy.
"Great, then you're with us." Then she grabbed our arms and pulled us along. "Let's go." Annabeth seemed happy that she made new friends very easy.
"Calm down Bianca. It's not like the teacher's going to reward us for being very early," I said, laughing a bit.
"I know Percy." Then she looked at me with a slightly evil grin. "But you don't have any sense of time. You'd probably take it easy and arrive late." At that, both girls laughed at me. I blushed.
"Haha, very funny. You'd better shut up if you want to have normal swimming lessons." I said, putting an emphasis on normal.
Bianca looked shocked at this and Annabeth looked at me with a quizzical look.
"You wouldn't dare!" Bianca said. Annabeth was still confused. Bianca knew of my power of controlling water. Annabeth didn't.
"Try me." I said, grinning.
Bianca's eyes widened with horror and Annabeth still looked confused.
Now it was my turn to laugh.
"C'mon girls. Don't we have a class to get to?" I asked. Then I grabbed Bianca's arm and went for Annabeth's, but I grabbed her hand instead. I instantly let go and with a blush, I said "Uhhh…sorry."
Annabeth blushed and said "It's OK." Then she looked at Bianca and said "Listen I have to go to the bathroom quickly. I'll see you guys in class." And with that she turned on her heel and left, a bit quickly. I just stared as she left and went around the corner, still a bit confused about what happened.
"She's cute isn't she?"
"Yeah she….BIANCA!" I yelled.
She put her hand over her mouth. "Oh. My. Gods. Percy, you like her don't you?"
I blushed and said "No!"
She gasped. "Yes you do! Your blushing proves it." With that I blushed more and she started laughing.
"C'mon," I said, still blushing and pulled her to our next class. She was still laughing.
"This is going to be one long day," I thought.
That's when we saw them.
And apparently, I wasn't the only one with good luck with the ladies.
Ok so this chapter was supposed to be Percy and Nico's 1st encounter with a girl, but Percy's part was very long, so I'm gonna separate the chapters! Since Nico's bit is shorter, I'll add some bits from Thalia and Annabeth's POV.
Hope you liked this chapter!
Please Review!
Tnks a lot!
:D
