Zoe was going to kill Annabeth Chase. The blonde menace had again tried to get Drew to lure Percy away. Didn't Annabeth know that Drew wanted him too? She was broken from her thoughts when a voice on the speaker started talking.
"Percy and Zoe please come to the office." Zoe paled, Artemis would kill her if she got another detention. Percy grinned devilishly and got up and wrapped his arm around Zoe as they began their trek to the office. Zoe gave her boyfriend a sideways glance. He smiled and kissed her temple, she had butterflies in her stomach and she kissed his cheek. Once they entered the office Lupa grinned at them.
"Glad you could join us."
"Like we had a choice." Percy grumbled and Zoe discretely stomped on his toe making him wince and mash his teeth together in effort to keep his yell from being over heard. She couldn't get in trouble with Artemis again, speaking of Artemis she still hadn't met Percy. Her mom would question her a ton about Percy and all Zoe would say was,
"He's my really nice boyfriend." of course this made Artemis extremely angered and she threatend to kill the boy if he so much as touched her. Zoe could only roll her eyes at her mothers protectivness but also found it a little endearing.
"Now, you two have been causing a lot of trouble at my school. Beating up Dakota,"- Lupa
"Protecting a guy from bullying."- Percy
"Kicking Luke in the painful spot," - Lupa
"He's Luke, why shouldn't I kick him there? And the correct term is where the sun don't shine or family jewels." - Zoe
"Food fights," - Lupa
"Totally the stolls fault." - Percy
"Shoving an uncouncious boy in a locker."- Lupa
Percy and Zoe smirked at each other, "Guilty." they said in unison and they both laughed. Lupa rolled her eyes at the 2 immature romans.
"What I'm trying to say is, you need to be taught a lesson, and what better lesson then humiliation?" Percy paled and Zoe grinned at the prospect of a challenge. Lupa had long thought of what Percy had to do as a punishment.
"Percy, for your punishment you have to sing a song, perferably Justin Bieber, during lunch." Percy thought he might faint and Zoe laughed at his face. Oh I'm not doing that. Percy thought as he tried to think of ways to get out of it.
"Zoe, you have to...tell Artemis everything you and Percy have done in your relationship. I will remind her if you don't do it." Zoe looked gob smacked and if possible Percy paled even more.
"Oh styx." Percy muttered and buried his face in his hands. He had to find Apollo and get a new song, a song that was respected by his peers. What Lupa didn't know was that Percy was a great singer, he had golden pipes. Zoe knew this and thought her punishment was worse.
"Your dismissed." the 2 walked out of the office and Zoe began to panic.
"What am I going to do!? Mom will kill me once I describe our whole relationship! She wants me to stay a maiden like her."
"Dude, you would be deemed a crazy cat lady, you know the kind that grows old and alone." Percy joked and then got shoved into a locker. Zoe tried to glare at him but then lost it and started chuckling. He laughed and held Zoe's hand as they walked back to class, Percy had devised a plan worthy of Apollo.
-LUNCH-
Percy stood at the front of the room in the cafeteria with a wireless microphone.
"Scuse me folks! I got a song for you today!" Percy enthused and everyone quieted down as he nodded to Apollo. The song started and a ton of girls and guys began cheering.
"Gimmie your, gimmie your, gimmie your attention baby, I gotta tell you a little something about yourself." Percy began dancing towards Zoe. Everyone's eyes widened at the sound of Percy's voice.
"Your wonderful, flawless, ooh your a lovely lady. But you walk around here like you wanna be someone else.
I know that you don't know it but your fine so fine, oh girl I'm gonna show ya when your mine oh mine.
Treasure, that is what you are. Honey your my golden star, and if you can make my wish come true, if you can let me treasure you, if you let me treasure you.
Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl you should be smiling." Percy sang as he gave Zoe a peck on the cheek. He then pulled her out of her seat and threw his arm around her and held her close.
"A girl like you should never look so blue. Your everything I see in my dreams, I wouldn't say that to ya if it wasn't true.
I know that you don't know it but your fine so fine, oh girl I'm gonna show ya when your mine oh mine." Zoe blushed and Percy got on the table and sang to her.
"Treasure, that is what you are. Honey your my golden star, and if you can make my wish come true, if you let me treasure you, if you let me treasure you." he then did a back flip off the table and the crowd roared with applause. He kneeled next to Zoe,"You are my treasure, you are my treasure, you are my treasure. Yeah you, you, you, you are my treasure, you are my treasure, you are my treasure, you are my treasure, you, you, you, you are treasure.
That is what you are. Honey your my golden star and if you can make my wish come true, if you let me treasure you, if you let me treasure you." Percy sang and kissed Zoe on the lips. Lupa's eye twitched, he was an outstanding singer and didn't sing a Bieber song that would make the guys laugh at him. The crowd cheered Percy on as he grinned at Zoe. Annabeth was irritated, he sang that to Zoe, she still had hope. He didn't confess his love for her so she still had time. The beat, Percy's singing, and his dancing had everyone tizzy with excitement. This made Drew even more determined to have him, Annabeth had this determination as well. Zoe couldn't believe he had sung to her in front of the school, she hugged him hard and felt him chuckle.
"I love you Zoe, now you have to tell Artemis about us." he teased her on the last part and Zoe groaned loudly. A tomatoe flew at Percy who caught it swiftly and looked at the attacker in amusement. Luke had thrown it, Percy threw it back at him and it splattered him in the face. Everyone laughed and Percy picked up an apple and chucked it at Hercules who fell on Annabeth. As she screamed her hand hit her trey and milk flew in the air and splattered all over Drew who shrieked and ran to the bathroom. The group roared with laughter as did the whole crowd. Luckily Lupa had left so Percy didn't have to run for once.
-Zoe's house-
Zoe shifted her feet nervously as she looked at her front door. Mom is gonna flip, she thought nervously until Percy put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She flashed him a smiled and opened the door. Poor Percy had been dragged into the whole ordeal and was more nervous then Zoe. What if her mom doesn't like me? What if she kills me? He gulped and followed Zoe into the house.
"Mom?" Zoe called as she slipped her shoes off. Percy decided to keep his on incase he needed to make a quick run for it. He pulled out his iphone and decided to play subway surfers until he accidently clicked on his camera button. In the bottom left corner it showed about a 20 minute long video. He frowned and tapped it, the video showed himself and Zoe playing black ops. He tapped on another video, the group playing truth or dare. He tapped on the first video and saw himself serenading Zoe in the rain. Who recorded this? Then realization hit him, his mom did. But the real question is, why?
He showed Zoe and her eyes widened, this would be easier if she showed her mom how great Percy was. Her mother walked into the room and instantly scowled once she saw Percy.
"You again boy?"
"With all do respect miss Artemis, I'm a man now."
"Prideful and arrogant aren't we?"
"No, I'm just letting you know that I was a boy, I've had to grow up fast."
"Whatever."
"My names Percy by the way, not boy."
"Why does it matter?"
"It matters because even though I'm a male, I'm still human." Artemis's scowl deepened at his logic.
"Fine, why are you here?" she sneered and dragged Zoe away from him making Percy frown at her.
"Got a problem boy?" Artemis taunted trying to egg him on.
"Yes, I would like to sit by my girlfriend." he replied through clenched teeth.
"You don't own her boy!"
"I never said I did, I just want to sit by Zoe. And I'm a man now." both of their stubbornness made it almost impossible for either of them to back down. Zoe looked between the 2 of them as tension covered the room.
"Your just a boy, I see no man in this room. That's all you'll ever be." Artemis sneered. Percy's eyes widened and his anger strengthened.
"Stop pretending that you know me! I'm sick that you are biased against men in general and that clouds your judgment over me. I became a man the day my dad left, the day my mom and I were so poor that we lived in a broke down apartment that had no heat or air conditioning, the day I stood up to Luke who beat me daily when I was 14, the day I met Zoe, I just didn't realize it until now. So shut up, stop treating me like crap, and listen!"he snarled and grabbed Zoe's arm and pulled her close to him and they sat on the couch. Artemis was stunned into silence while Zoe rubbed soothing circles on the back of Percy's hand effectively calming him down. His green eyes lost the storm look and looked like calm sea green waves again. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair before holding Zoe's hand. Forgetting Artemis was there he kissed Zoe's knuckles.
She rolled her eyes but gave a small smile, "Cheese ball."
"Star girl."
"Fish boy."
"Cat lady wanna be." she gaped at him and he laughed at her until she smacked the back of his head.
"Ow!" he cried and rubbed it so the stinging sensation would go away.
"Big baby."
"At least I don't snore."
"At least I don't drool."
"Well your my girlfriend so you have to deal with drool."
"Wanna kiss."
"Not the same one Jason got."
"That's the one I'm offering."
"Well darn."
"Ha."
"You stink at black ops zombies 2."
"You stink at life." Percy glared at her until they both broke out in laughter. Artemis watched the interaction between the 2 in surprise. As if remembering her purpose Zoe handed her mom Percy's phone. Artemis watched the video and laughed at "Jason's kiss." When she saw Zoe smack Percy on the cheek she fell to the floor laughing, she smiled at Zoe when she saw her hit Jason with the controler. She smiled fondly at Percy as he serenaded Zoe in the rain.
"You have my blessing, Zoe this is a good guy don't let him get away. And Percy, if you ever hurt her I will-"
-Line break-
Percy and Zoe went to Percy's house and he was still surprised at Atremis's language and threats.
"I want a rematch on zombies." Zoe declared and Percy grinned at the thought of a new challenge.
"Bring it star girl." they played vigorously and Zoe screamed a couple times when she got eaten.
"Percy, revive me." Zoe demanded as she watched Percy's character mow down zombies with the wonder pancake, or whatever that things called. Was it a pancake or a waffle? She wondered as he went around in circles and took them out. They made it to level 101 and Zoe was down.
"Little busy." Percy grumbled as he demolished zombie after zombie.
"I don't care, revive me. Your killing all the zombies."
"2 seconds." he mumbled and Zoe narrowed her eyes at him. She grabbed his ear and screamed,
"JACKSON, YOU BETTER HELP ME UP OR YOU'LL NEED MORE THEN SOMEONE TO REVIVE YOU WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!" Percy jumped and quickly revived Zoe. She smirked at him,
"Thanks babe." not long after both Zoe and Percy died. He threw his controler down and looked expectantly at Zoe who raised an eyebrow,
"What?"
"We should go on a date, an official one."
"Where to?"
"How should I know?" Zoe face palmed.
"Cuz you asked moron."
"Oh, right."
"Well?" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
"I'll have to get back to you on that." she rolled her eyes and leaned her head on his chest. He sighed and began to play with her hair, where would a good place be? He pondered this for a moment. Soon he heared a soft snore and looked down to see his girl asleep. He smiled at how serene she looked as she snuggled closer to his chest. Butterflies erupted from his stomach and he stroked her cheek softly,
"Night beautiful, love you."
When Sally got back home she saw Zoe laying on Percy. She was softly snoring and Percy had drool coming from the corner of his mouth. Sally shook her head and smiled, my son sure did find his perfect dream girl. She took several pictures and decided to blackmail the couple if necessary, and because they were just so cute together.
