Don't Mess With an Angry Annabeth

I was walking to my locker when I saw Annabeth in Percy's locker, looking through his stuff. "And just what do you think you're doing in my boyfriend's locker?" I asked, annoyed.

Then Annabeth took out what looked a knife, but it was blurry, it could've been a ruler. She had a weapon in school! Well, maybe. She slammed me against the lockers with so much force my teeth rattled. She held the knife up to my throat and said "You know what Josephine; I have had it with you. Just leave me and Percy alone we want nothing to do with you."

I tried to look tough and sneer "And what are you gonna do? I can get you expelled for having a weapon in school!" Of course I didn't know whether it was a weapon or not but I needed something

Annabeth's eyes were as cold as steel. I shrunk down. Annabeth snarled "I have been to hell and back in my lifetime. I have fought all powerful beings. I have saved the whole damn world. So what are you to me? You are just a stupid, pathetic mortal. Now if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to."

I didn't understand half of what she said. How could she have gone to hell and back and battle all powerful beings? And she most certainly didn't save the world. I didn't get why she called me a mortal as if she wasn't. And what business was she attending to? Having to have the last word I called out, trying to sound smug. "It's the beginning of school. You'll get caught if you ditch now."

"Does it look like I give a damn?" she called without looking over her shoulder. Annabeth walked out the front door and I heard a teacher call "Get back here right now Ms. Chase or I will call your parents." Yes, not only did she get caught and in trouble with a teacher, but she would get in trouble with her parents and that is the worst.

I thought I had won but I heard her yell "Call away." And she disappeared around the corner.

I was astounded. She just walked away with a teacher right there and she didn't even care if she got in trouble with her parents. I watched as the teacher called Annabeth's parents and apparently they were in San Francisco so he called who Annabeth was staying with. Which happened to be Percy's mom.

I eased dropped on his calls. Both her dad and Percy's mom didn't even care about what Annabeth just did! I saw the teacher hanging up so I snuck down the halls to my class. This was a very confusing and interesting morning and I was almost glad to be in my boring English class.
