School past by really fast with Percy around me. I noticed the girls glaring at me and the boys glaring at Percy. They think we are dating or something. We just like each other as friends...right? I walked with Reyna, Nico and Thalia to our floor. "I can't believe you got detention on your first day of school, Nico!" exclaimed Thalia.
"I'm sorry. The teacher was asking for it!" Nico defended himself.
"What did you do?"
"I just simply out smarted the teacher. She got mad and gave me a detention."
"Sure."
"It's true!"
"Whatever." Thalia ended the conversation by walking into her room. Nico slumped down on his door. I remember the Stoll's telling me that he had a major crush on her and was trying to find the right time to ask her out. "It's ok, Nico. You will get her someday." I said smiling to myself as I stuck my room key into the lock. Nico looked shocked, "How did you...?" he said looking suspicions. "I have my sources." I said opening the door.
"Stoll's! I'm going to kill them."
"Bye! I have so much homework to do." I said as I walked into my room.
"Ok bye!" Reyna said closing her door behind her. Nico did the same. I closed the door, dumping my backpack on the foot of the bed. I sat in my four wheel chair, spinning myself around until I got dizzy. I laughed quietly to myself as I pulled out my homework and placing it on my desk. Need some music, I thought. I pulled out my phone and hit shuffle on my playlist. Jessie J, Who You Are. I really liked this song; to me it meant that everyone will have a bad day, but remember you are not alone and tomorrow will be a better day. Don't pretend to be someone else. I sang along to the song while doing my homework.
(In Bold is Annabeth singing)
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
"no, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
(who you are)x11
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!
The more I try the less is working yeah yeah yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams, "no, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Yes, No's, egos, fake shows
Like woah!
Just go, and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile,
That's my own ! That's my own. "no, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah
When I finished I heard someone clapping, I whirled around. Percy was sitting on my bed looked at me, smiling. "Percy! What are you doing here? Actually how did you get here?" I asked surprised. Percy shrugged, "I tried calling your phone, but you didn't pick up. So I came here." He said, "By the way, you have a beautiful voice, you should sing more often." I blushed, was he here when I started singing? "Thank you." I said embarrassed. "You still didn't answer me, how did you get here, I mean you don't have a key and I didn't hear you open the door, so...?"
"I took the passageways." He said simply.
"Oh, how did you find my room?" I asked curious.
"I think when I was around five; this was my old room. I see they didn't repaint the room. The desk is the same, the bed." He said looking around the room, his gaze stopped on the window. "I always loved the view; out of all the rooms I loved this view best. In the winter and the fall the view is the best. You can watch the leafs turn from green to brown then fall off, it's beautiful." He said, his eyes looked far away, remembering every single detail. "Wow." I whispered in awe. "So why are you here?" I said snapping out of daze. "Well, um...uh...since you...I guess...I need help with my homework."He said the last part in a hurry. I laughed, "Sure grab a chair." He smiled.
Half an Hour Later
Annabeth Pov
Percy finished his homework in half an hour. When he was doing his, I was doing mine. So we finished at the same time. We were talking about Greek culture and somehow we started talking about school, "So I heard Nico got detention." Percy said sitting on the bed crossing his legs. "Haha how did you- actually don't answer that. Ya, apparently he out smarted the teacher and she gave him detention. What kind of teacher would do that? If I was a teacher I would be proud that my student out smarted me." I said sitting down next to him. He laughed, suddenly something beeped. I looked at him startled. "It's to tell me if Vivian is up or not." He explained. "Oh." I said disappointed knowing he had to leave now. He must have saw that I was sad that he was leaving. He smiled, "You can come too, if you want." He said. "If it isn't much trouble, I mean if you don't want me to come..." I was about continue, but Percy rolled his eyes, smiling under his hood. "I would love to." I said blushing. We got up from the bed, he pressed the triangular button and the wall slid open. Suddenly I stopped. Percy turned around, "Are you ok?" I nodded, "Is this your name?" I asked pointing to the signature wall. He bent down, "Ya that's me. I forgot I wrote that. It was so long ago." He said sadly, even in the semi darkness I could see a lone tear rolling down his cheek. I bent down next to him, "Don't cry." I said softly.
"I'm not crying." He said trying to convince me. "Hey, don't lie to me. What happened?" I asked.
"I'm not ready to talk about it yet, how about tonight? At the tree house." He said quietly. I nodded understandingly. "Whenever you're ready, I'll be there ready to listen." I said putting my hand on his arm. He smiled at me gratefully, "Come on, Vivian should be well awake by now." He said wiping away his tear.
