I was shocked for a moment then shook it off and said in disbelief "Annabeth….you remember me?" Her face suddenly took on a very innocent look and she said "Uh, huh of course I remember you. Don't you remember I loooovvvee you." She smirked and pulled herself off me. "Don't ever speak to me again you pathetic piece of shit. I may have kissed you once but that was when I thought I liked you. Now you're still clinging to something that happened 4 years ago? Pathetic..." She laughed haughtily and walked down the hallway followed by her gang of cheerleaders.
I stood there stunned against the lockers, my heart beating like a drum. My head pounded and I felt like I was going to faint.
"You okay man?" Grover said next to me. I nodded, and said "What happened between me and her?" Grover looked confused but sighed, "You really don't remember? About 4 years ago, you and Annabeth were working together on a project for school and one day she kissed you. Then you never got up the nerve to ask her out and she got really pissed at you and got a new boyfriend. Then when you finally asked her out and told her you liked her, she had moved on and hated you for not asking her out after she kissed you. You've secretly had a crush on her since like 3rd grade Percy…"
I shook my head, "She hates me?" I said quietly. I fell back against the lockers, depressed and saddened. Suddenly, a large man grabbed me and pulled me up. A strangely familiar voice shouted "Well, well, well. Seems like little Miss Percy here has a crush on Annabeth. Well guess what Jackson, she's mine" I looked up and almost fell in shock, there, wearing a football letter jacket and surrounded by large football players, was Tyson. Only it wasn't him, he had two eyes and a ruggedly handsome face.
He smiled cruelly at me, and I said the first thing that came to mind, "Wait…YOUR dating Annabeth? YOU?!" He frowned and his fist came up, punching me in gut, knocking me over. "What's that supposed to mean?!" He shouted. "NO, I'm not dating her now, but I will! Don't be all surprised, any girl here would love to date me."
He pulled over a nerdy looking girl, with a name tag reading "Etiak Nregdare", kissed her roughly and asked "Would you go out with me if asked?" She nodded silently then quickly ran down the hallway. At that moment I realized two things; one, I still had dyslexia in this world and two, there was a drinking fountain right behind Tyson and his gang.
I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on the movement of waves and the flowing of a river. I concentrated on the water fountain and willed it to explode all over Tyson and his gang who were currently beating me up. I opened my eyes, expecting the fountain to spontaneously explode but nothing happened, I concentrated more until my brain hurt from the concentration but still, nothing happened. Not even a drop.
I was motionless from my shock. Of course I should have known my powers didn't exist here but I guess I needed something that would comfort me after everything that had changed.
When Tyson and his gang finished beating me up, I crawled to a janitor's closet and sat there, writhing in pain. What was going on? What happened? I determined that if this was a god's trick, I would have to go to Mt. Olympus to sort everything out.
After going to the nurse to get some medicine to ease the pain, I left school and headed towards The Empire State Building. Walking into the lobby, I went up to the front desk and saw the lobby man that was normally there in the real world was there. I smiled, thankful for at least one constant thing in both worlds, and asked "600th floor please." The man looked up wearily and said "Kid, first off, there is no 600th floor and two, kids aren't allowed in the building. Now please leave before I call security to escort you out."
I chuckled a bit thinking it was just part of what he was required to say. I got closer and whispered "I'm Percy Jackson; you know Son of Poseidon and savior of Mt. Olympus?" The man glared at me, "Look kid, I'm not in the mood for playing around, you either leave now or I'll call security. Got it?"
I was getting angrier by the second. What was with this guy!? He was supposed to just give me the keycard and let me up.
"No, I won't leave until you give me that stupid keycard. Some god is playing a trick or something and I've been having a rough day. Now let me have that keycard before I break something!" I screamed.
The man's eyes narrowed in anger and he pressed a button on his desk. Immediately two burly men grabbed me by the arms and shoved me out the door. The lobby man came to the door and shouted back at me "Kid, go smoke your weed somewhere else and don't come back or I'll call the police! There is no Mt Olympus here and there are no gods!
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Yeah so whoever reviews first and tells me what the real name of "Etiak Nregdare" is will get a shout out in the next chapter! Thanks for reading! Love you guys!
