Annabeth's POV:
After the lesson, Silena turned around to me.
"We're sitting outside, just to let you know. Not that you two keep wandering around, looking for us."
I nodded. "All right. Then I go picking him up." I grabbed my bag and put my block in it.
"See you." Of course I didn't miss the look that Piper and Silena exchanged again. I decided to ignore it and made my way to the lockers.
I already saw Percy standing there, with Mr. Blofis. I stopped a few feet away from them. I mean their conversation wasn't my business.
"Hello Annabeth." Mr. Blofis suddenly said. Percy just waved at me.
"Hey." I answered and then stood next to them.
"Do you know each other?" Mr. Blofis asked us. We nodded.
"Oh okay. Anyway Percy, if you ever have a problem, feel free to come to me."
Percy nodded. "Thanks Mr. Blofis."
"Sure. And now, go eat something. Annabeth surely will show you the way, right?"
"That's what I'm here for."
"Oh. That's the reason why you were standing there."
Percy and I nodded.
"Okay. Then I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye." Percy said.
With a little nod in my direction, Mr. Blofis left. Probably to walk to the teachers Room, or where else Teacher's spend their Lunch break.
"We're sitting outside, because the weather is so beautiful." I told Percy.
"Alright."
"Okay let's go. Who knows what Silena will think of us. She already exchanged strange Looks with Piper when I went to pick you up."
We walked together to the others.
"Piper is the one who sat next to Silena in History, right?"
"Jep. The one with the brown hairs."
"Okay."
We walked out of the building and found the others on a big table in the middle of the sun.
"Okay, these are Travis and Connor, Katie and Juniper, Leo and Frank. And you already know Grover, Thalia, Silena and Piper." I pointed on every Person I mentioned. "And that guys, is Percy." I introduced him.
"Hey" he said.
Everyone mumbled a hello while they were sliding together, to make room for Percy and me.
"And Percy? How do you like our little School?" Frank asked him.
"It's okay. Thanks for asking."
We heard loud laughing from another Table. Percy turned around to the table were the laughter came from.
"You should be cautious around them. These are…" I started.
"That's Drew, right? And the other one I think is called Laura or Lauren."
"Yeah." Piper said. "How do you know that?"
"She talked to me before Break and introduced herself. And she said if I want, I could sit with them during lunch break. And bla bla."
"What did you answer?" Grover asked him.
"No thanks. Obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't sit here." He answered.
"Right."
We all laughed. Actually we laughed during the whole lunch break. Percy was really funny and everyone liked him. In retrospect I kinda recognized, that he never really talked about himself and he never answered questions about his past, he just talked around them.
"You always have to be cautious around Connor and Travis." I said to Percy while we were on our way to Biology.
"Why?"
"They love playing pranks. Especially Katie is Travis favourite victim. Silena says, that this would be Travis strange type to show her his love."
"Aha. I guess Silena tries to indirectly pair them off?"
"Jep. And always take care of your purse around Connor and Travis."
"Okay, thanks for the warning."
"No problem. I just wish someone had warned me because of the pranks."
We sat on the same places in Biology as on the day before and I turned around to him again.
But before I could say anything, we heard that loud laughter again. It was from the same person as it was in lunch break.
I turned to the door and saw Drew and Lauren entering the Room. Somehow I had repressed that she has this course with me. Drew turned in our direction and smiled seductive at Percy. Well I think she tried to be seductive, but it kinda seemed shabby and ridiculous to me.
"Good luck with her." I just said to Percy and turned back to the front, because the lesson was starting.
"Good morning class." Mr. Solon greeted us. "Today you need to find a partner. Then you come to me and get a paper with tasks about a special sea animal. You have time until tomorrow to make a poster about it."
It started to get noisy in class, because everyone was talking and looking for his partner. I turned around to Percy.
"Do you want to be my partner?" I asked.
He smiled and nodded. "Sure. I mean I know no one else."
"Oh I think Drew would love to be your partner. Judging by the way she was looking over at us."
And she really was looking at Percy.
"I go and get the papers. Do you care which animal we take?"
"No, I don't."
I stood up and walked to the front of the classroom and grabbed one of the papers, without looking what animal it was. Then I walked back to Percy.
"We have the sea dog." Percy said, after he looked a while at the paper.
"Then let's go to the schools library and let's see if we will find something about it."
"You have a library in the school?"
"Sure. Every school has that. Didn't you have one at your old school?"
"Honestly, I don't know."
I laughed. "Anyway here, we have one. So, let's go."
We told Mr. Solon that we'll go to the Library, and then we started walking. When we arrived there I started looking for books about sea animals, while Percy sat himself in front of the computer and started research.
At the end of the lesson we had a lot of information, but not enough.
"Maybe, we should meet this afternoon, to continue. Do you have time?" I asked Percy on our way to the next lesson.
"Yes I have time."
"Great…how about we meet at my house. Or do you prefer your house?"
"No. Yours is okay."
"Alright."
I gave him my address and we agreed upon meeting at 3 pm. We were discussing that on our way to history. I didn't want Piper and Silena to know about it. They would just ask stupid questions and exchange strange looks.
