Chapter 3

Goode High School

Percy's PoV (Still)

"Hi, Percy." The girl in the middle said flirtatiously as she walked up to me, batting her eyelashes.

"Hi, uh... Suzie?" I said, trying to remember her name from all of the gossip around school.

She sighed, "it's Stacy, but I'll forgive you, since you since we're going out now." She said as she looped her arm through mine, and gripping it so tightly that I couldn't move, unless I tore it away from her.

Stacy, one of the school's most popular girls, or at least, that's what I've heard from the gossip, has always been trying to get me to be her boyfriend. I constantly tell her that I already have a girlfriend, but she never seems to listen. She had huge hazel eyes, sandy blonde hair, she's somewhat tall, but not as tall as Annabeth, and her teeth are so white that it looks like she got them from Apollo himself.

"Look, Stacy, I really need to go." I said, trying to get my arm out of her vise grip.

"You're going to get your books and locker? Fabulous! I'll come with you!" She exclaimed, gripping back on the small amount of arm that I was able to slide out.

I sigh, "Stacy, I've told you before, and I'm going to tell you again. I don't like you, I already have a girlfriend, she lives in California."

"Where is she? I don't see her. Besides, there's no way that she could be anywhere near as pretty as me, and it's obvious that I'm smarterer than she is.

Smarterer, really? Even I'm smarter than that. And Annabeth calls me a Seaweed Brain.

I sigh out loud and turn to Stacy, "look, Stacy, you're... nice, but my girlfriend, Annabeth, is a lot prettier than you, and is way smarter than me, and I'm obviously smarter than you, so I'll say it again, I will not go out with you!" I rip my arm from her grip and jog down the hall. I felt a little bit guilty calling her stupid, but I needed to get the message across.

As I ran down the hall, I turned to see Stacy and her friends standing there with their mouths open. I chuckled to myself darkly as I walked into the library.

As I went in, I saw the line for my schedule was long, I was sure that the janitor walking out was going to put up a "20 Minute wait from this point" sign at one spot in the line. Reluctantly, I got into line, and waited.

After 10 minutes of waiting, my phone buzzes. I take it out and see it's a text from Annabeth.

I'm doing good on my side, I'm actually getting my stuff for school right now, since I don't want to wait on the first day of school. : )

I grinned at the text, since I was doing the same thing.

Me too, great minds think alike, right? Can you believe we're going to be seniors?

Nope, and I'm so excited for this year! ; )

Any reason in specific? And what's with the winking face?

Not telling, and there is a reason, but you'll see soon. :P

You're annoying when you keep secrets from me, you know I hate those.

This time she didn't text back, I thought she was mad at me, so I decided not to push it.

I looked at how many more people there were in front of me before I got to the front of the line. Only 3 more people.

At the front of the line, I saw a tall blonde girl with curly hair, reading a book. I couldn't make out the book, and I could only see the girl from the back, but in a way, she reminded me of Annabeth, because of her hair.

She walked up to the clerk and asked for her schedule, all I could think about was Annabeth at the time, so I didn't hear everything the clerk was saying, but I was able to make out the name, "Chase," as the girl walked to the next line.

I looked at the girl walking away, and now I was just really curious. I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't hear the lady at the desk calling for me. I rushed up and told her my name was Percy Jackson. She was able to hand me my schedule somewhat quickly as she called for the next student.

I walked over to the line to get my books, and I was directly behind the girl from earlier. I needed a way to see if it was Annabeth, but I was pretty sure it was just a coincidence.

That's it! I had an idea and pulled out my phone and started to text Annabeth.

Are you mad at me for calling you annoying earlier?

I waited after I sent the text, and I watched the girl pull out her phone. And began to type something on it. A few seconds later, I recieved a text from Annabeth, I knew immediately that it was her. I began to text, but I was cut off when someone grabbed me around the waist.

Stacy's PoV

I can't believe Percy said those things to me! ME! Oh I'm going to have to give him a piece of my mind! (A/N: Not that she has any to spare.) I walked into the library, and looked around for Percy.

I saw him standing in the line for books, he was texting on his phone.

(A/N: I'm a guy, so writing this part of the story was, and still is, a little awkward for me. For any female readers, I'm sorry if any of this offends you somehow.) He looks so hot, his messy black hair looks like I could lose a hand in his jungle of hair. He was tall, which I really liked, and his muscles were so cool, I can see them beneath his shirt. I like him better than the rest of the boys at school, they only try to make their muscles bigger, but I doubt they could do anything with them, Percy's however, are smaller, but looks like he can actually use them, which means he could protect me if I ever got in trouble. And his most amazing features, are his eyes. They're green, but not like any regular green, they're like a sea green, that actually remind me of the ocean. It's like when he gets mad, the ocean in his eyes start to go crazy too. I don't care what he says, he's gonna be my boyfriend! (That... was difficult)

I saw him looking at the girl in front of him as she took out her phone to start texting, he was just watching her, like he knew her. He was also looking that the book she was holding, it was HUGE, like... a thousand pages!

What a nerd, who actually reads that much? She's not even pretty.

I run up behind Percy as he pulls out his phone. I quickly grab him around his waist and began hugging him.

He yells out, struggling to get out of my hug. Eventually I let go and he turns around to see me. "Stacy, what the hell are you doing?" He asked me angrily.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm hugging my boyfriend!" I try to hug him again, but he holds me away.

"I told you, Stacy, I have a girlfriend in California, how many times to I have to tell you... today?" He asked me, his green eyes starting to rage around like the sea during a storm.

"I don't see her anywhere." I fake looking around.

After I saw that, the girl in front of Percy laughed and closed the book she was reading.

"You got something to say about my boyfriend, nerd?" I ask her.

She turns around and looks at me with piercing grey eyes, it actually scared me a bit.

Annabeth's PoV

Who does this girl think she is? Aphrodite? One of her children? No, that's my boyfriend she's hugging there!

I looked at her angrily. "Yes, I do have something to say, two things in fact. One: all your noise is making it too hard to read!" I glared at Percy, who held his hands up in surrender, and looked nearly scared enough to cry. "And two: he said he has a girlfriend, so you should back off before she guts you like a fish!"

"Yeah? and where is his stupid girlfriend? If you had any brains, you'd have heard that Percy said she lived in California, you stupid broad." She said smugly.

I was extremely pissed now, trying to steal my boyfriend, yeah, that's bad, calling me stupid, that's the worst thing you could ever do.

"Umm, Stacy, calling her stupid is not a good idea..." Percy said, a hint of fear in his voice.

"Why? What's this nerd here going to do about it?" She said, looking back at me.

If looks could kill right now, she'd be dying a slow and painful death. "Annabeth, calm do-" Percy started, but I cut him off with a glare.

I advanced on the stupid girl, Stacy, "if you had any brains, you'd know never insult my intelligence, and NEVER touch my boyfriend!"

It took her a minute, literally, to figure out what I had just said, and put everything together. I watched in enjoyment as her face began to darken.

During this minute of confusion, Percy was able to get away from her and hide behind me like a scared kid.

"You mean, you're his- and he's your- and you are are-?" She tried to finish a sentence, but couldn't, but before I could respond, Percy got over his fear, and put his arm around me.

"Stacy, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Annabeth Chase, the 'stupid girlfriend' from California." He explained to her like she was a toddler.

Before she could scream, the librarian came up to her and asked Stacy to leave, when she looked at Percy and I, we told her that she started all the noise, and we were trying to get her to be quiet.

As the librarian ushered her away, I, being the mature person that I am, did what seemed right at the time: I stuck my tongue out at her.

She looked at Percy expectantly, he just shrugged and pulled me closer to him.

This chapter took me a little longer to write than the other ones, but I still had fun with it, even though describing Percy has probably scarred me for life...
