Chapter 7
Percy's POV:
"Hey Percy," Grover, whispered beside me, causing me to look up from the test. "What's the answer to number 5?" he asked trying to stay as quiet as possible.
"It's C. dude" I muttered softly and continued on the test, for science. After my test was completed I started to doodle a picture of a robot in my notebook. My eyes flashed up to the wall clock on the opposite end of our tiny science lab. 11:37 it read, which meant that we only had 13 minitues 'till we were realeased into the cafeteria to eat the actually quite good, food.
"Ok, class," my science teacher, Mr. B droned "please put your test in the tray, and make sure your homeowk is written down. Afterwards, please start on the homework." I was starting to get a bit gittery, like I do before the end of any class. I opened up the musty textbook, to do the reading done, so I could get the homework done. Most of the time, the homework is quite easy for me, but this time we were studying plants. A topic that I was completely lost on. Great.
I looked back at the clock, 11:40, 10 minitues. I raced to finish the short chapter on plants, so I could get a least a slight head start on my homework.
Briiiiing, the bell rung, ten minitues later. I raced to put my notebook into my locker so I could get lunch.
"Come on Annie," I whined, after I came to get her "I'm starving." She glared at me and slid her several notebooks,(for some reason she can't just take one at a time) into her own locker.
"Lets go you crybaby." She muttered.
"Someone's in a bad mood." I said and poked her shoulder.
"Why wouldn't I be? Rachel's in my Social Studies class, which I just out of." Annie said.
"Awww, I guess that she'll be tormenting you for the res of the year. Didn't you notice her on your first week though?" I asked.
"No, she wasn't there…" she said as we walked into the noisy cafeteria. We got in the line, to get some corndogs.
"This way Annabeth." I said leading her to the table where me and my friends sat. I made room for her and we sat down.
"Hey Percy," Beckendorf crowed as we sat down. "How you doing Annabeth?" he said paying her a little attention.
"Meh." She replied, stuffing her corndog in her mouth.
"Oh, Perce, Jason's going to bring Piper to sit with us, along with her friend Thailia."
"Yay! Thailia! And who's Jason and Piper?' Annabeth said/asked.
"Just friends of ours, and you know Thalia?" Beckendorf asked.
"Yah! I live with her." The blonde replied.
"Really? That's great, anyways you and Piper should get along great! I mean she likes the band on your shirt, and stuff, she has the same style and stuff too!" he said enthusisticly. I listened to this conversation, and stuffed the corndog in my mouth. After a few minitues, Jason, a tan blondie with blue eyes, came up with Piper, a beautiful gal' with an idian look about her, and choppy brown hair, with Thailia trailing behind.
"Hey guys!" Piper said plopping down next to Annabeth, with Jason sitting down next to her, and Thailia sat across from Annabeth, sitting next to Grover, who was next to Beckendorf.
"What's your name! I'm Piper, and I LOVE Blood On The Dance Floor!" Piper asked, Annabeth looking at her shirt.
"I'm Annabeth, NEVER call me Annie," she said casting a glare at me when she made the Annie referance, "and I know right! They are UBER talented!" Piper laughed and nodded.
"This is Jason." Piper said pointing at the blondie, with mac and cheese stuffed in his mouth. Annabeth smiled, and waved.
"This is-"
Thalia, yah I know. I live with her." Annabeth said cutting off Piper, who was pointing at Thailia.
"Omigosh! Really! She must be a pain in the butt!" Piper said with a twinkle in her eye. Thailia glared at her from behind her hamburger.
After lunch, the teachers allow us to roam the halls for thirty minitues to hang out. The only rule is we HAVE to stay in the locker halls, so no going into classrooms. Most of the time, me and my friends hand out by my locker, but this time we found ourselves at Annabeth's locker, filled with pictures and magnets. Me and Annie, were leaning our backs against the lockers, while the others faced us.
"Thailia told me that you guys used to live in the big apple. Whats it like?" Piper asked.
"Oh you know, just louder and smellier in the city. But I really love it there anyways." She replied with enthusiasm and humor. I smiled at her, and I noticed she was blushing a bit. I laughed and draped my arm over her shoulders, to see how she would react. Annabeths face was more red than a tomato. I shrugged it off and started a conversation about skateboards.
Annabeth's POV:
Percy was talking about skateboards, but I wasn't even listening. I mean he had his arm on my shoulders, my brain was having a little conversation with me,
DUDE HE HAS HIS ARMS AROUND YOUR SHOULDERS! HE FRGGING LIKES YOU! The girly part of my brain said.
No, he is my best friend and this is just a friendly jesture… the logical part of my brain said
Phhh, guuuurrrl you need to tell him you like him, or someone else is gonna be taking your man
NO. I will not. He is my best friend and I will not ruin our friendship by making something awkward between us, like that.
No! HE like you, just look at the friggin' signals, he holds your hand, he is always with you, and now hes putting his arms on your shoulders
No! Just stop it and go away!
Fine be that way.
And that's how that went. I just listened to the rest of the conversation and eventually got up the courage to start playing with Percy's fingers. He smirked down at me and continued to talk with our friends.
Briiiinnnnnggg the bell sounded us to our next classes, me and Percy had this class together so we said goodbye to our frinds and walked away, and Percy still had his arms draped around my shoulders.
"So Ms. Annabeth, you like my fingers." Percy said, after a minitue of me playing with his fingers as we walked through the hall. I laughed and nodded. We were almost to the class when Percy dragged me into an empty classroom. I struggled but he eventually got me in. I glared at him, and turned on a light.
"What the hell is this all about?" I asked him. He smiled and said
"We are skipping this class, because we are going to be here." I smiled and high fived him.
Percy's POV:
I know what your thinking. Percy hwo could you skip class? Well, because I am going to tell Annie that I want her to be my girlfriend. I'm serious. I can't take it anymore. I really like her and I hate it when I see other guys checking her out. Each time they do I give them a death glare and they back off… But I want her. So I am going to ask her to be my girlfriend. Yep it's that simple. That simple.
"Soooo what are we going to do all period?" Annabeth asked.
"We should probably sneak to our lockers and get our things so we can just leave the school."
"Ok, meet me in those bushes behing the school,and make sure not to be seen." She said rushing out into the now empty hallway I followed her example and snuck to my locker.
After I got my things, I started to go towards where the doors where, when I hear a cough from behind me. I slowly turned around to see our school principle with Annabeth's arm gripped tightly.
"Nice to see you Mr. Jackson. Would you and your lovely friend please come to my office?" he said with a sneer. I gulped and he started walking, and I followed him. We are in deep trouble.
