Chapter 7
Percy's POV:
"What do you two think your punishment is going to be? I like a months detention, yah how 'bout that. You know whats better, cleaning the cafetria at the end of the day. Hmm" our principle said, as he sat down in his 'Italain leather' seat, across from the expensive desk. You see our principle is very…. Selfish. He buys all this excpesive crap for himself, and won't spend any money to expand the cafiteria! That cafeteria is not big enough for 400 teenagers to sit in! But apperantly it couldn't be expanded because the school was "running our of money", while just last week our pricnciple bought himself a red carpet, handmade from Chinese silk FROM CHINA… HANDMADE! Did I mention it was made from freakin' CHINESE SKILL!
"So why don't you two tell my why, you were sneaking out of school." He said, as he shined his gold stapler.
"We weren't" Annabeth said, I turned my head to see what the hell she was thinking lying to the princliple. "Right Percy." She said turning to face me. I nodded quickly, getting the message.
"My mom was coming to get us, for a mid-year camp for the gifted." She said turning to face the chubby man behind the desk.
"Gifted? In what?"
"Uhhhhhhh, art! And drawing and painting and uhh the arts! Like dancing and theatre, and just regular art too." Was her reply. Annabeth was ovioulsy thinking fast. So she had no plan. "We are screwed." I thought to myself, trying to look as precious and honest as possible.
"Oh, then. What are gifted in?" he asked, probably testing our lie.
"I'm good at dancing, and Percy can uh-"
"Sing" I cut her off.
"Ok, then dance for me Ms. Chase." The rich man, said testing our lie once more. Annabeth stood up and played some classical music and started to do some impressive ballet, her loose BOTDF t-shirt fluttering out and poofing out, as she twirled and jumped. I was left in awe, as I watched her twirl and leap to the music. When she was done she bowed, extending her foot forward as she did so, to make is look more elegant. I turned to look at the mans face, and his exspression was a mix of awe and something I couldn't place. After a few seconds, the old man snapped out of it, and started muttering something.
"Ok, go off you two." He said shoo-ing us.
"That was amazing! Where did you learn to dance like that?" I asked when we were out of the school.
"I took dance in New York." She replied, "and your not noticing something. I GOT US OUT OF A WEEK OF SCHOOL!" I stopped and hugged her so hard, I think she might of started to lose consiousness.
"Sorry, your just a genius." I said smiling at her, as she reagained her breath.
"I know." She coughed "Now lets go to Cinnabon ((sponser! Hehe anyone who watches Tobuscus (sponser) will understand that)) to celebrate!" she crowed, and dragged my all the way to Cinabon by the hand as she ran.
LATER THAT WEEK, MAYBE THURSDAY
Annabeth, and I have been hanging around my house ALL week! Like night and day stays. Annabeth's parents found out about the "camp" and they think that we're there. So Annabeth has been wearing my shirts, and my moms uh undergarments and pants.. To tell the truth, I'm nervous that they might find out about our lie, and get us in trouble but whats done is done. I woke up to Annabeths hair in my face, her head on my chest. I smelled her perfect hair and smiled. Since me and Annie, are best friends, I guess we're very comfortable when we do that. It's just a friend thing for us but I wish it was something more…. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled at me. I smiled back and ruffled her hair, as I sat up to signal that we're going to get breakfast.
"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked her as we walked into my kitchen.
"Hot Pockets." She mumbled, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"We're out of those."
"Then lets walk to the food court."She replied. I nodded and walked to my room to change, and tossed her a shirt when I got there.
Annabeth's POV:
I walked to the bathroom, wearing Percy's shirt and his mom's skinny jeans, to brush my hair, and to put on some perfume. His moms perfume is my new favorite! It smells like Percy, but sweeter and I love it! Like Percy with sugar. I ran the brush through my hair, going through the knots, of the night before, and dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and wrists.
"Annabeth, are you almost ready?" Percy called from his front hall.
"Yeah." I called, walking to the hall, to put on my sweatshirt, and converse. As soon as I walked outside a shivered and breathed in a big breath of cold air.
"Burr!" Percy said wrapping his arm around my shoulders, warming not only my arms, but my face as well. The whole time we were walking, I was playing with his hand, and fingers. His hands were the most lovely, and they looked like they were shaped to play piano, and guitar. Long fingers…
"You really do like my hand don't you." Percy said smirking down at me. I nodded, mesmerized with his fingers. He laughed at my response, and we approached our destination. He took his arm away from me, and I pouted.
"I'm opening the door!"
"Your such a gentlemen." I said teasing him. Percy rolled his eyes and shoved me through. We had a huge selection of renstraunts to choose from: Panda Express, Burger King (no Mcdonalds thank god! That place is gross), Cinabon, Subway, and Taco Bell. ((SPONSER))
"Where should we eat?" I asked, basically drooling. I love food! This is like paradise for me, basically every food court is.
"Hmmmmm, maybe we should get some Chinese food?" he replied pointing at Panda Express. I nodded enthusiasticly, and dragged him towards the stand that held my I mean our breakfast. I ordered the sweet and sour pork with white rice, and Percy got the same. I was laughing at a joke that Percy told me when we ran into Rachel. She looked surprised to see us, and then she smirked.
"Skipping school now our we?" she said. I looked at Percy, and he looked so mad that I had to hold him back so he wouldn't break her face. Not that I wouldn't want to see that, but I'd rather not have to bail Percy out of jail.
"I guess that your little camp was all a bunch of phooey, I should tell the principle.. shouldn't I?"the bitch of a redhead said.
"No! We get to go out of the camp for breakfast, if we want!" I said thinking of a quick lie. Rachel looked bewildered for a second.
"What was this "camp" called again?" she asked
"Uhhhhh-"
"Camp Half Blood! Because its like we have half talent in our blood." Percy answered for me. I nodded. Rachel stormed away, oviously pissed that she had nothing against us.
"High five!" I said, as we walked out of the food court with our take out.
He slapped my and we walked back to his apartment.
Rgh! I'm on a MAJOR writers block! So if this chapter sucks, I apologize. REVIEW OR I WON'T PUT UP ANOTHER CHAPTER!
