Chapter 6:

STILL ANGELINA POV

I turn to see a boy.

Not just any boy, but a very, very cute boy.

He had brown unkempt hair, bright green eyes and the longest eyelashes that I've ever seen. His eyes bored into me, making me look at my shoes.

I can already feel my cheeks heating up. "Um… yeah, thanks." I whisper.

"No problem, I'm Cody. Angelina, right?" He asked, hands shoved into his pockets and leaning against the desk comfortably.

"Yeah, but you can call me Angie." I say, not quite meeting his eyes.

"Cool. So, let's do this worksheet." He said, pulling a chair by mine, and the two of us spend the rest of the period finishing the worksheet. He smiled at me, and I noticed that he had a dimple in his left cheek.

When the bell rings, I'm slightly disappointed-which was surprising because I usually hate math.

"So what class do you have now?" Cody asks me, gathering his things together. "I can walk you there."

"Uh… now I have English with Ms. Whitman." I say, doing my best to remember my schedule.

"Oh, I have that next too. Ms. Whitman is alright, I guess. If you get on her nerves, she can get REALLY angry though. Trust me, I speak from experience." He said, cheeks tinged with pink.

"Oh, I see." I teased.

He nudged me, making me do the same to him.

After a few more minutes of teasing and laughing, we walked into the English classroom. At the front of the room, there was a lady in a purple dress with a black blazer.

I walk up to her slowly, Cody following behind me. "Um… Ms. Whitman? I'm new today, my name is Angelina, but you can call me Angie." I say at a volume barely above that of a whisper.

She turns to me, with a sweet smile. "Hi there Angie! Do you know anyone from this class that I can put you next to?" She asked.

I scan the classroom, when Cody nudges me. "She knows me, ma'am." He said with a cheeky grin.

She rolled her eyes teasingly. "As long as you promise to listen to me today Cody, I'll let Angie sit with you." Cody smiles and she points me to where I should sit.

She begins the lesson after a short introduction, and hands me a very, very thick book. Shakespeare's Greatest Tales.

Oh no, I can already guess this is going to be bad.

"Please flip to page 7, and silently read up to page 24." Ms. Whitman says, then goes to sit at her desk.

I turn to the page slowly, expecting the worst. A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Well this should be interesting.

After I had finally finished reading (which took like 45 minutes, might I add) I breathed a sigh of relief.

Ms. Whitman had written on the board that after we finished reading, we should write our predictions about how the story was going to go, then put them in her 'Turn In' basket, and then we were free to go.

I quickly scribbled down what I thought would happen-Egeus would not let Hermia be with Lysander and that would be the end-which I highly doubted was actually true, but whatever.

I quietly tucked my paper into Ms. Whitman bin, and then waved goodbye to her.

I lingered by the door, hoping Cody would come out soon.

Turns out that I didn't have to wait long, because Cody came out just minutes after I did.

"Hey, you waited for me." He said, grinning at me.

I blushed again, "Yeah… I don't know where the lunch room was." I blurted out. That was true, but I had waited for him because… Never mind.

"Well… Let's go then." He said, pulling my elbow in the direction of his locker.

He put his stuff away, and then I went to mine to put mine away, and then he lead me in the direction of the lunchroom.

"Now I'm warning you now, the only good things for school lunches are the pizza, the nachos and the pasta. And you're lucky because today… is pizza day."

"What's bad about the other days?" I ask curiously.

He fakes shuddering, "Trust me, you don't want to know." I laughed in response.

I got a slice of pizza and saw Sierra waving me over. I walked over to her, with Cody following me.

I settle down next to Sierra. "So you have free period next, right?" She asks me, and I nod.

We eat quickly, and then Sierra and I wave goodbye to Cody, who has Science now.

TIME SKIP TO THE END OF THE DAY (AN: Sorry it was getting boring writing about all the classes!)

I quickly gathered my stuff from my locker, and began to walk to the front of the building when Cody stopped me.

"Hey, are you waiting for your ride?" He asked, slinging his bag over his shoulder.

"Yeah, what about you?" I asked, trying not to drop the books that wouldn't fit in my bag.

He easily gathered the books in his hands and nodded. "Yeah, I'll wait with you, if you want?" He asked with a wide grin.

"Sure." I say breezily.

The two of us goof off for a bit until I see a familiar car pull up next to where we were. Percy was here.

I turn to Cody. "Thanks for helping me today." I say with a blush.

"No problem, Ang." He said, pulling me into a hug. Butterflies fluttering around in my stomach, I hugged him back.

"See you tomorrow, Cody!" I said, taking my books from him.

"Bye, Angie!" He said, with a wave.

I walked into Percy's car, a blush still lingering on my face and a smile permanently set on my cheeks.

I noticed that Percy's grip on the steering wheel was very tight, his knuckles white.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"Cody." I say. "He helped me find my way around today. Well him and a girl named Sierra." I explain.

"Cody, huh?" He repeated.

"Yes…" I say, my voice trailing off.

He muttered angrily under his breath.

I cleared my throat. "Aren't you going to ask me about how my day went?" I asked, eyebrows arched.

"Oh, sure. How was your day, Angel?" He asked.

"It was great…" I went into complete detail about my day, with Percy grinning at my enthusiasm. When we finally got home, I thanked him for driving me, and then drag my things upstairs.

I'm in the middle of doing my history homework, when I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in!" I say absent-mindedly.

Annabeth walks in, a mischievous grin on her face. "So, Cody huh?"
