ANNABETH'S POV
RECAP
We walked in, and we knew this was going to be the best class in the year.
"Ahh! Annabeth! It's nice you have all...graced us with your presence! Now would you like to explain why, you have led this young boy to think it is okay to be late at Golden Rock High School?" Mr. Brunner/Chiron asked, you could tell it was strictly out of formality. "Sir," I started. "I was giving him a feel for the hallways, and I showed him where his classes are," I said. "Ahhh...I am...as they say it...pulling your leg," Mr. Brunner/Chiron said. "What is this young man's name?" Mr. Brunner asked. His eyes gleamed. "My name is Percy Jackson, sir." Percy said. You could tell it was all he could do to stop him from snickering. "Annabeth, we are discussing our little project for next week...it will take place in the auditorium. The drama club is partnering with us. They will be making the thrones, and scenery. As for us, we will be making the costumes, and the weapons. Discuss this project with Percy," Mr. Brunner said. "With pleasure," I said.
"What this project is, is we divide the class into two groups. Those two groups have to accurately interpret an Olympian meeting. There has to be one kid for each God. Like for example...oh...I don't know...ah! You would probably be Poseidon. So you would dress up as Poseidon, and pretend you are him. BTW, you would need a weapon. Like you could make a trident. Or buy one from the dollar store. No one cares. You just need your special weapon. Talk about wanting to be like your daddy when you grow up!" I giggled at the last part. "But, Chiron said he wanted to talk to you, so you should go over there," I said. I just realized something, where is Percy staying? Surely he wouldn't have been stupid enough to come here without enough money for a hotel, would he?
PERCY'S POV
"Percy, come here my boy," Mr. Brunner said as soon as everybody started working with their partner. I stood up with ease. Mr. Brunner was the only teacher I didn't worry about giving me detention for a whole month. "How are you holding up?" He whispered to me. "I'm fine. Great. I'm just ...anticipating. Ya know? The next monster attack. I mean...we are in San Francisco. Monsters are attracted to me like I'm a magnet." I said. "How did your mother take it when you left?" Mr. Brunner said. "Why didn't you tell anyone from camp you were going to leave?" Mr. Brunner asked. Ahhh. So many questions. "Well...that's the thing..." I said. My feet became so interesting in the past fifteen seconds. "I didn't...tell..." I stammered out. "My mom didn't know I was leaving until I called her at the train station," I said. "I didn't know what I was doing. It just felt...right," I said. Ya. It is soo right to basically abandon your family and take absolutely nothing with you to help you survive. "So basically, what you are saying, is that you have 1) no transportation, 2) no place to stay for the night, 3) no clothes, and 4) no food, Ambrosia, or nectar. Percy? You were the one of the great prophecy for Hades sake! How could you be so irresponsible to do this?" Mr. Brunner asked. I never want to see this murderous, youaresostupid look in his eye. Ever. Again. "Blame it on my stupid, overprotective new boyfriend instincts!" I said. "Fine. Just know, when Annabeth finds out, you will never hear the end of it," Mr. Brunner said. "Ugh. I know," I said. I should just start moping now. Annabeth will never let me hear the end of it.
ANNABETH'S POV
As soon as Percy walked in, I knew he forgot something. Or did something. Or maybe this time, he destroyed something. You never know. "Percy? Why are you moping?" I asked. he sighed. "I was being stupid... I should have thought this out more..." He said. Percy? Just admitted he was stupid? That's a first. My eyes widened as realization struck. "You don't have anything extra do you? Just you? No hotel rooms, money, food, or clothes?" I asked. He nodded his head. He really did have nothing. I chucked. Then giggled. Then I did something that made me earn my beingstupidinpublic award. I laughed. And laughed. I just sat there, laughing. Like a donkey. Ugh. "Percy!" I laughed. "Maybe you could stay with me, and your mom could send you money, and clothes. I don't know, it's worth a try," I said. He nodded his head. I could see a smile break out across his face. This'll be fun. Ugh...
5 long, long, school hours later
ANNABETH'S POV
"Dad?" I called through the house as soon as I got home. "Yes Annabeth?" He called. "Can Percy stay at our house for the rest of the school year?" I asked "Hopefully, he'll say yes. He snapped back to reality. "Why would he come here without a place to stay?" He questioned. "He needed to come out here. Mr. Brunner, I mean Chiron, told him to come here, to make sure if something attacked, I would have backup to protect you guys. Percy is a really good swordsman." I played. "Oh. Okay!" My dad answered. "We don't have any guest rooms, and Percy can't sleep out here because the twins with never leave him alone...maybe we could put an air mattress in your room? And Percy could sleep on that?" Although he asked me, he looked at Percy expectantly. "Oh! That is fine! Thank you very much!" Percy said. He may be overdoing it just a bit. "Well...C'mon! I'll show you my room!" Annabeth said.
PERCY'S POV
"This, is my room," Annabeth said. She pointed in a deep, dark gray room, with blue accents. With a queen size bed, and a vanity that is also a dresser. The Aphrodite girls would have loved that. She opened up the bottom two storage areas on the vanity. "These two are yours," she said. "Let me show you the bathroom," Annabeth said. She pushed open a door that had, ironic enough, an ocean theme. The walls an ocean sea blue, the shower curtain assorted sea animals, and seaweed, and the shower rug...fuzzy blue. Even the toothbrush holder had blocks of ceramic coral on it. I saw the sun going down in sun. "C'mon, let's eat dinner," Annabeth said. She totally read my mind. "Ok," I said. In response, my stomach grumbled.
