Chp 4
Annabeth's POV
I sighed as I checked my watch again. Percy should be here by now. We were supposed to be having our usual coffee at Starbucks but he hadn't met me outside the school like always.
I sighed and decided to rather go get take away hot chocolate and then come back and learn in the library or something. Just as I made my way to the front door of the school and opened it, I saw Percy walking towards me with two take aways in his hands.
"Hey." He said. I let out a chuckle. "Where did you go?" I asked. He raised the take aways. "Starbucks." He said. I rolled my eyes. "No hey. Why didn't you wait for me before going?" I asked. He smiled. "You said you had a sniffly nose so I didn't think it was good for you to walk in the cold. So I got for us." He said. I smiled. "Thank you." I said. He handed me one and pulled me back inside.
We went to the library and sat right at the back out of view. We sat with our shoulders right up against each other and our legs touching. This was the third week of having known Percy and his friends. They were really great people. I had a sip of my drink and let out sigh. I felt Percy move his head and look down at me. I felt his cool breath on my neck, sending shivers down my body.
I don't know what it was, but I think I might possibly quite like him. I mean, he had an amazing personality as he was always joking and cheering people up, and he was really good looking with his surfers tan, green eyes, wind swept black hair and muscles. And his smile. I had never seen a more beautiful smile than his.
I dared to look up and into his eyes. I was intrigued by his eyes as always. There was happiness, protectiveness, care, love. He smiled and said, "So how you feeling?" I smiled and looked away from him. "Good I guess." I said, "And you?" He chuckled. "Well are you good at Math?" He asked.
I raised an eyebrow. "Yes, why?" He smiled widely. "Would you possibly tutor me?" I thought for a moment. One, I get to spend time with him. Two, I actually have something to do in the afternoon. I smiled at him. "Yeah, of course." He surprised me by pulling me into a hug.
"Thank you so much, I really can't fail." He said. I chuckled and sipped my drink. I noticed a girl returning this book I needed for a science project so I quickly excused myself. I went to the counter and luckily got the book.
As I made my way back I stopped two meters away as I saw someone was talking to him. I recognized her to be the rudest person with an air filled head that I knew. "I'm sorry Lauren, but I'm talking with Annabeth." Percy said. He noticed me and cleared his throat. Lauren turned around and saw me.
"Oh, hi Annabelle." She said. I kept my cool and said. "Hi." She sighed and said, "Well the offer's still open." She flicked her hair and walked off with her two goons. "Sorry I interrupted." I said, playing with my fingers nervously.
He smiled. "No, that's fine." I got my drink and bag and we started to walk around. We were lucky to find the pool area empty so went in there. We finished our drinks and just sat on the bleachers. This was my third week at this school and I was already in a group of nice people and was a tutor to my crush.
"So when do you want me to come over?" I asked. He thought. "You free tomorrow?" He asked. So we arranged I would be going the next day after school with him to tutor him in the subject Math. Fun.
