Chapter 4
ANNABETH POV
I walked into my house and saw my dad sitting on the couch reading a newspaper. Where's my mom, you ask?
Dead.
"Hey, dad. I'm home school from school," I said.
"Hey. How was school?" He asked.
"I got an A+ on an Egyptian mythology quiz," I said, setting down my backpack against the wall.
"That's my girl," He said.
"I told someone on Prom Committee I would help out with Egyptian mythology," I said, walking upstairs.
"'K! I'll make some snacks for while you guys work!" He yelled so I could hear him from upstairs.
I walked into my room and opened my closet doors. I looked around for the perfect outfit to wear when Percy gets here.
I found a blue tank top, and some white shorts.
I walked to my bathroom holding the clothes. I turned on the water for the shower then quickly took a 10 minute shower.
When I got out, I changed to my clothes, then dried my hair and put it up in a messy braid. I still had some time left so I painted my nails a pretty peachy color.
By the time my toes and fingernails were drying, I could hear talking from downstairs.
I walked the duck walk over to the stairs and saw Percy by the door. I also saw my dad giving Percy the evil glare.
Oh, great.
"Hey, Percy," I said, doing the duck walk downstairs.
"Hey, Annabeth," Percy replied.
"Annabeth, you didn't mention that you were going to tutor a… boy," My dad said, still giving Percy the stare down.
"Did I forget to mention that? My bad, come on Percy, let's go to the living room. Dad, you said you were going to make snacks?" I asked my dad, pulling Percy into the living room.
"Oh, yeah, right," My dad said, walking into the kitchen.
Gosh, what's so bad about me helping out a boy in school?
PERCY POV
Annabeth was pulling me into the living room so we could get away from her dad, Mr. Chase.
FINALLY!
I took one long look at Annabeth, only one word to describe her right now, beautiful.
"Okay, where do you want to start?" She asked.
"Uh… from the beginning?" I suggested. What a dumb suggestion!
"What a great idea!" Annabeth said sarcastically.
"Sorry…" I said, looking down.
"Do you just want to start from how the Gods and Goddesses were created?" She asked.
"Sure," I said, helping myself to set my tush on the couch.
"Okay, flip to page 33 in your Latin textbook," She said, sitting on the couch and opening her book to page 33.
"Flipping to page 33," I said quietly.
"Okay, also open your notebook. I'll read aloud this section and you take notes. 'K?" She asked.
"Sure," I said, opening my notebook and picking up my pencil, ready to take notes.
"From the beginning, there was only Nun. Nun was the waters of chaos. One day, a hill rose from the waters. The hill was called Ben-Ben. On the hill, stood the first god, Atum. Atum coughed out Shu, god of air. He also spat out Tefnut, god of moisture. Shu and Tefnut created two children. The first was, Geb. He was god of the earth. After that, was Nut. She was goddess of the sky. Shu lifted up Nut so she could become a canopy over Geb. Geb and Nut had four children, Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys. Osiris was the king of the earth. Isis ruled as the queen of the earth. Osiris was an amazing king. He ruled as king for many, many years. But, Seth became jealous because he wanted to rule the earth. He became angrier, and angrier. The anger grew so high, that he killed Osiris. Osiris was sent to the underworld, as Seth ruled the earth. Osiris and Isis had, had a child called Horus. Horus battled against Seth and regained the throne. After that, Horus was king of the earth and Osiris was king of the underworld. That's the story of how the Egyptian gods and goddesses came to be," Annabeth finished.
I could hear her read out loud for a month and it would never get old.
"Did you get any notes down?" She asked, trying to peak at my notebook.
"Yes. Want to read them?" I asked, handing her the notebook.
She skimmed through the page and nodded occasionally.
"Good, you got all the basic notes needed. Now, I was thinking that tonight you study these notes, hard. Then, tomorrow we can go over all the Egyptian gods and goddesses. Sounds good?" Annabeth asked.
"Awesome Thanks for helping me, Annabeth," I said, putting away all my things.
"No problem," She said.
My phone beeped, again. Rachel had been texting me over 10 times when Annabeth was reading aloud.
(Slanted is Rachel.)
Why aren't you texting me back!
"Okay, your phone has been beeping for about 30 times since you walked inside. What's going on?" She asked.
"Nothing, I just keep getting texts," I said sticking my phone back in my pocket.
"Didn't you tell them you were studying?" She asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Then why would they be texting you?" She asked.
Gosh, this girl asks a lot of questions!
"She never listens," I said.
"She?" Annabeth asked, obviously confused.
"Yeah, my girlfriend. She never listens to me when I say I can't talk or something," I said.
"You have a girlfriend?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah, Rachel," I said, walking to the door as she followed.
"Cheerleader, perky, Rachel?" She asked.
"Yup," I said.
"Oh… well… I guess I'll see you tomorrow," She said, as her voice went from normal to sad.
"Later," I said, tilting my hand as if to wave.
She closed the door, and I could hear her walking upstairs.
I walked to my car and drove home.
Really stupid ending, I know.
I'm talking to my cousin right now, maybe if we want to write more I can have chapter 5 up by tonight.
I'm really sorry I have not uploaded in a while. I had a huge project for school, plus my grandparents visited, PLUS there were some birthdays in my family. Including mine! Date will name unknown to all.
