Can't Nobody Love Me Like You: Chapter Six
Percy P.O.V.
The door slowly closed and I let out a sigh of relief I didn't know I had been holding. Was I trying to please her? I laughed at my thought as I walked down the hall. She did steal my hoodie, which was totally unfair. Her eyes, though. They were different. Not your normal eye color. Gray eyes. Look-I ran into somebody. "Oh my...I'm so sorry!" I looked up to see a girl who looked around my age. She had short choppy brown hair that was tied into a braid and kaleidoscope eyes. "It's ok!" I bent down and picked up her purse. "I'm sorry!" She apologized again. I laughed. "My friend just went out on a date with this 'hot guy' so I ran right over." I looked at the girl. "Is your friend Annabeth Chase?" I asked politely. "Yeah! How do you.." Realization crossed over her. "You're the 'hot guy'!" She screeched. My eyes widened. "Me? Hot? No way!" She hit my arm and I laughed. "Did she like you? Did she sit close to you? Did you kiss? Have a make-out sesh? What happened!" I slowly backed away from the girl. "I'm..gonna...go." I bolted towards the elevator. As the doors closed, the girl yelled at me. "Don't let me affect your view on her I-" The doors closed and I headed back down. I know I live right beside Annabeth, but hey..I had to get away. I whipped out my phone and called Jason. "There is a hottie who looks single by the way she invests in people lives!" I exclaimed. Jason laughed. "Reyna-"
"Shut up dude. Reyna left you. That's her fault, not yours!" I told him. He sighed. "Fine. But don't expect us to automatically connect." I laughed into the phone. "I won't 'Sparky'." He groaned over the phone. "Shut up Percy." I pumped my fists into the air. "NEVER!" He chuckled. "See you when I see you?"
"Tomorrow." Jason went silent. "Whatever Perce. Just stop being annoying." I started to shout NEVER but he must have sensed this because he hung up.
Ouch bro.
I walked back in the elevator and waited to go back to my house. I walked to my door..but curiosity got the best of me. I stuck my ear up to her door. "Do you think he still likes that Calypso girl?" The girl was asking. "I don't know. I wonder if I was just a break ya know? A way for him to escape." Annabeth replied. I frowned at her comment. Then I had an idea. I rushed inside my house and ran into my mom's room. "Percy! How was the date! Did you kiss? Tell me!"
I narrowed my eyes at her. Once you moved to New York did you become nosey in everyone's lives? I smiled and answered her question. Then I got to the point. "Can I borrow some flowers?" I asked her. She nodded. I ran into her closet and grabbed a single rose then wrote a letter.
Dear Annabeth,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You stole my hoodie,
And I'll get it back too.
Ask me any questions
Starting with who
Because I want to go
on another date with you.
Seaweed Brain.
I skimmed over the note. Cheesy enough. I then attached the note to the rose and climbed over the railing to Annabeth's porch. I knocked on the window then dropped the rose. Then I ran for my life over the railing and back inside my room. I heard her window open and the girl talking. "Ooh a love letter!" I chuckled.
Later that night
Somebody was trying to kill me. I took out a sword (How'd that get there?) and lunged at the person. Just as the hoodie fell a cannon went off, waking me up. My eyes shot open and looking at my clock. 3 in the morning. That cannon came from outside. I slowly got out of bed and opened my window...
To see a rock.
Wow.
I picked up the rock and closed my window. Turning on a light I read the message on the rock.
You're a Seaweed Brain,
We all know it too,
If you want you hoodie,
I'll give it back to you.
I flipped the rock over and saw the word 'Loser' written with a smiley face. I laughed and crossed out the word 'Loser.' I wrote the word 'Wise Girl' beside it, then I threw it on her porch. I closed my window, turned off my light, and climbed back into bed. As her light turned on, I realized something.
I haven't thought of Calypso at all today.
