Hi I'm back with another chapter of The science experiment, as you probably have noticed (or maybe not have noticed) I will be updating every week either Saturday or Sunday. So sorry this is so late it will be back to normal next time. Anyway enjoy, here is chapter 6!
Annabeth's pov:
I woke up at normal time, to find something that felt like a brick next to me. I rolled over to see what it was and it turns out it was Percy.
Then all of a sudden my memories of last night came back flooding into my brain one by one. Until the last one finally made me shoot up and make me awake.
I asked Percy to sleep in the bed with me. I was frozen in shock that I Annabeth Chase would actually ask him that.
I quickly grabbed some clothes and rushed to the bathroom. I was ready within 15 minutes.
I headed back into my room to find Percy sitting on the edge of the bed surrounded by two little devils named Matthew and Bobby.
"Er what is going on here?" I questioned, to find six eyes all staring at me.
"Is this your boyfriend Annie? Bobby asked me.
"No he is just a friend, and what are you two in here for?" Wow a lot of questions this morning.
"We are here because mum told us that you were taking us to school mum and dad have already left." Said Matthew.
I instantly groaned and shot a quick glance at Percy who was still surrounded by the twins.
"You two go downstairs I'll be down soon." They quickly ran off downstairs laughing to each other.
"Hey Seaweed Brain, sleep well?" I asked as I sat down next to him.
"Morning Wise Girl, it was a lot nicer than sleeping on the floor thank you for letting me stay here and I hope your brothers don't tell your dad that I was here." I elbowed him in the arm gently as a friendly gesture, and said,
"They won't tell I will bribe them with chocolate or something," I said and we both laughed.
"The bathroom is down these stairs then the first door on the right." I said to Percy pointing at the stairs.
He got up and headed off down to the bathroom
2 minutes later he came back, I gave him his bag and we had some breakfast much to Percy arguing with me saying he didn't need anything and that I had already done too much in the end I won (not much of a surprise there)
"Come on lets go to school." I said as the three boys looked at me and nodded, I laughed on the inside a little bit.
As we all got to the car I saw Percy turn around and walk away, I smiled a bit then,
"Percy, where are you going get in the car." He started walking towards me then said.
"Annabeth I don't need you to take me to school honestly I'm fine, I can walk."I giggled and grabbed his arm walking over to the passenger side of the door and hoisting him in.
I saw the twins buckle up through the window as I walked round to get in the driver's seat.
I sat down and put my seat belt on and saw Percy do the same.
We got to the twins school and they immediately jumped out and ran through the school doors.
Now it was just me and Percy.
"So we have got science first, let's hope nothing sets on fire this time." I tried to joke but Percy just looked sad. He didn't say a word.
"Earth to Percy." I said as his eyes looked around at me.
"Are you ok?" I asked him.
"Yeah I'm fine just thinking that's all." He said with a tiny smile.
"Well if it makes you feel any better I was thinking too."
"Really, I highly doubt we were thinking about anything similar." He said, I nodded.
What he didn't know was that I was thinking about him.
"So what are you thinking about?" I questioned.
"I'm thinking about my life and how different things would be if I was happier, I'm pretty sure if I was happy that something would go wrong leaving me in a similar situation that I'm in now, no friends, no life, no dad."
"Percy Jackson you listen to me right now, you have a friend me, you have a life you go to school you now have sleepovers, your dad may not be here physically but he will always be with you in here." I said to him grabbing his hand and moving it over his heart.
He sent me a friendly smile as I looked into his sea green eyes.
We stayed like that for at least 45 seconds until we both realised what was going on and both bounced back.
He muttered a sorry to me and I gave him a half smile, I continued to drive until finally we got to school.
The journey was short and sweet thankfully.
"Annabeth hey, hi Percy." Thalia said as she approached Percy and I.
"Hey we best get to science come on Percy see you guys later at lunch." I said to her and Piper.
They waved to me and muttered bye, what's their problem today?
I dragged Percy to science and we took our seats we were in a different classroom, because well you know the fire, we were in a different building. The actual building was getting torn down and the insurance money was going to build another one. I think the school was actually happy that is got burned down the principal seemed to be smiling much more.
It was an old building I guess, whoever did set that fire the school obviously didn't care.
Science was boring we were made to look at textbooks, I didn't look at Percy once or talk to him I knew from past experiences with him he always finds a way to make things awkward unless it was me that made things worse?
I quickly shook that thought out of my head as I heard the bell go informing us that it was time to go to our next lessons, I had English whereas Percy had maths.
When we both go to the door he looked over at me and kind of smiled.
I could see fear in his eyes he always looked like that I never questioned it, because well he told me what he had been through I didn't want to push him he didn't deserve that especially from me.
I walked down the hall way on my own sighing as I entered the classroom.
I didn't mind English I wasn't bad at it not as good as Percy but I wasn't horrible.
I took my seat next to Thalia, who seemed to ignore my presence. Ever since I had been spending more time with Percy, Piper and she seemed to ignore me.
They were never really the jealous type and they couldn't be jealous of Percy could they?
I decided to strike up a conversation with Thalia.
"Hey sorry I didn't see you much this morning." I said as I playfully nudged her arm with my elbow.
She looked up at me, and smiled I smiled too.
"No it's fine you want to spend time with your boyfriend I get it, and Percy doesn't seem to have many friends, it's fine I'm a bit like that with Nico too remember." She said confidently.
"What no, Percy and I are just friends nothing more nothing less." I said quite aggressively
"Whoa Annie chill I get it, hey how about you invite Percy to come with us on Saturday to the movies." I smiled and nodded, then replied.
"I knew you were my best friend for a reason." I said as I gave my best friend a side hug, yes in the middle of an English class, that's just been our style since nursery.
The next couple of days were pretty similar Percy now walked me home every day and instead of driving I also walked to school with Percy.
It was all going fine until Saturday rolled around.
Once again I' am so sorry that this chapter was late I have been so busy with school anyway I hope to update this weekend, sorry to leave you on a cliff-hanger.
I will post dedications to everyone next chapter, thanks for all the support I hope you are all enjoying the story.
Anyway review thanks!
