DISCLAIMER: If I owned Percy Jackson, I would have been killed by now from the pissed-off fangirls.
Annabeth's POV
Awkward wasn't a strong enough word to describe how I felt at that moment. The entire school, all of whom have never acknowledged my existence, is staring at me with interest. Even the lunch ladies.
It didn't help that Rachel was looking pissed at me, and Thalia was looking pissed at her. Or that it was dead silent.
I shifted my feet and dropped my head so my hair was covering my face, feeling uncomfortable. What the hell is going on?
"Annabeth?" I looked up. Percy was slightly closer to me than he was before, and was rubbing the back of his neck. "Did you, uh, hear what we were saying?"
Huh? "No... what were you saying?" He turned redder. Now I'm seriously confused. What happened?
Thalia raised an eyebrow. "How could you have not heard them? They were practically yelling."
I tilt my head. "They were?"
Somebody snorts. "You see? How can anyone possibly like this bottle blonde?" Rachel put her hands on her hips and smirked.
Thalia's hands were in fists, and her jaw was clenched. "Look, you little barbie wanna-be, has your brain been affected by the amount of chemicals and shit in your hair? I'd punch you right now, but I don't feel like leaning all the makeup off my hands."
Rachel's eyes flashed, "I wouldn't be talking, Thalia, considering the crap load of cheap eyeshadow you wear everyday. We get it, okay? We all know you're emo," she smirked.
I had to grab the back of Thalia's collar to keep her for pouncing Rachel.
"Annabeth. Let. Go." she snarled. Dear gods this girl is strong...
"Thals, calm down," I whispered. Everybody was still staring, and it was starting to freak me out.
"Yeah, Thals. Listen to your friend; she doesn't want to seem any weaker than she already is."
I'm a calm person. I usually ignore what people say about me. I usually just walk away. I would usually ignore the fact that the guy I thought was so sweet is nodding behind the red-headed bitch. But no one, calls me weak.
I think Thalia was proud when I dumped somebody's chocolate milk all over Rachel's red hair.
And stomped on her cousin's foot.
And walked out whistling.
Thalia's POV
I couldn't help it. The second Annabeth was out of sight, I burst out laughing.
I AM SOOO PROUD OF HER! I love her, honestly, but sometimes I really worry about her. She's always getting picked on, and I'm always the one who has to stand up for her. I don't mind, it's just that I hate it when people think that can mess with her and get away with it. That's part of the reason why I asked Percy to look out for her. People will back off if they know that she's friends with someone that famous. The other part, well... That's part of my plan.
Now, exactly why he just stood there while Rachel was going into bitch mode, I'm not sure. I'm kind of pissed off about it, but I'll make sure that it never happens again.
I think it was like 5 minutes before I calmed down, but I started again when I saw the faces I was getting.
I seriously don't know why I'm laughing. I'm pretty sure half of the cafeteria is wondering 'Is she drunk?'
And I'm pretty sure I passed out.
I'm sorry this is so short but it's almost twelve and I promised myself I would finish this today so...
SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!
