I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus, Rick Riordan does.
I can't believe that I have 235 reviews! I never think that I can get so many! But you all are awesome people. Really. Thanks.
Sorry for all the mistakes I will surely do in this chapter. I seriously try to do the best for you, but since I do not speak English... And no, I'm not from Spain, I'm from Argentina. If you tell me that I make many mistakes, please tell me where, otherwise it will not work for improvement.
Anyway, I hope you like this chapter.
Love the Babysitter
-Lunch Time-
Annabeth, Thalia, Piper, Silena, Katie and Bianca had lunch outside under a tree like most students. The sun was shining and the heat was scorching that noon. The place was full of laughter, voices, students reading and studying, flirting, gossiping, playing chess and doing homework.
"And I was walking like nothing, until this guy fell on me. What an idiot," Thalia began to tell her story of that morning "We talked a bit, and it turned out that he was Will Solace" She shrugged her shoulders "Never heard of that dude,"
"Will Solace..." Silena muttered thoughtfully "It sounds to me, but I do not know who is"
"Isn't he the ex-boyfriend of Nyssa?" Piper asked chewing her apple.
"Nyssa Keys?" Katie said. Piper nodded.
"Oh, I remember," Silena said "They broke up because allegedly he cheated on her with Drew one night"
"How do you know?" Thalia asked.
Silena shrugged "Gossip travels fast,"
"What happened next?" Bianca asked.
"I got to the classroom and the teacher scolded me," Thalia continued while looking over fries in her bag.
"So?" Katie hurried.
"Mr. Terence made me sit next to Nico, and he started sending me notes, and we were so until Terence discovered and punished us." The goth girl continued with her mouth full.
"Typical of my brother," Bianca sighed, ignorant of all her friends' suspicious smiles, except of Annabeth, who was reading a book about architecture.
"You should have seen Drew's face, it was priceless" Thalia said without looking up from the empty bag of chips, forgetting that Bianca was there "I can't believe that she was jealous"
"Why would she be jealous?" Bianca asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Because she wants Nico for her and she knows that I had a crush on Nico, but I think I do not do anymore," Thalia said nonchalantly.
"Excuse me?" Bianca said horrified. Thalia finally looked up with wide eyes, realizing her mistake. She had told one of her best friends that she had a crush on her brother. She would never forgive her for that.
Bianca's mouth was open, staring in disbelief at Thalia "Oh my God, Bianca sorry, that's not what I meant-" She began to speak rapidly, rising while Bianca stood to leave.
"Not what you meant?" Bianca said with an irritated voice "You just told me you like my brother and never told me before!"
"I do not like your brother! I do not even think he's cute!" Thalia lied.
"You could tell me before!" Bianca shouted before running away.
Thalia groaned and looked at her friends, who beckoned her to run after her friend. She nodded, picked up her backpack and ran after Bianca.
The others looked at each other and continued eating in silence until one guy stood in front of them. He had crutches, honey colored eyes, a little stubble, curly brown hair tucked under a hippie hat, a bad case of acne, a shirt that said 'The Lord of the Wild', baggy jeans and red shoes. The girls looked at him for a reaction or a word from him, but his eyes were upon one, Annabeth.
"There is something in which we can help?" Silena asked politely.
He nodded "Yes, is she Annabeth Chase?" he pointed her.
"Yes," Piper nodded frowning "Why?"
But the boy did not respond and walked a few steps toward the blonde. He was smiling like crazy "Annabeth" but she did not flinch "Annabeth," He called a little louder.
Finally, the blonde looked up from her book with a bored and annoying expression, but quickly changed when she saw him. She had complete surprise on her face.
"Grover Underwood?" she asked, trying-but-failing to hide her emotion.
'Grover' nodded. Annabeth's eyes were filled with happiness, and stood, pulling her book aside, to hug him. He tried to return the hug as he could with his crutches. She had her arms around his neck, hugging him like there's no tomorrow. The two old friends, almost forgotten by themselves, hugged for a while until Katie cleared her throat.
"Sorry for interrupt, but... who are you?" she asked him.
Grover and Annabeth separated their heads, still with arms around each other "He is Grover Underwood, a friend I had before I go to San Francisco. I do not see him for like... 10 years, no?"
"Yeah..." Grover agreed.
"10 years is a long time," Piper said surprised.
"Yeah," Annabeth nodded, and then turned to Grover "I went back last year, why I did not see you?"
"Last year I was in Japan, for my ecology club, trying to convince the Japanese people that they must stop killing green spaces" Grover finished with a sigh.
"Yes, the Japanese people can be difficult," Katie agreed.
"Oh, no, two eco-freaks collapsed!" Annabeth shouted. Piper, Silena and she began to laugh, but Grover and Katie, who did not take any fun, just rolled their eyes.
Annabeth leaned her head on his shoulder and were so until the football team came by and started making fun of Grover. Jason, the team captain, threw his ball into Grover's head.
"Underwood came back? This is gonna be a great year," he told his teammates, which laughed and bumped fists like idiots.
"Get lost," Annabeth spat.
"And you're going to force me, honey?" Jason winked to her.
"Jason," A voice came from behind "you seriously should go"
Jason turned while Annabeth ran her gaze to meet Percy. He just stood there with his hands in his pockets, not looked hard or something, he was expressionless.
Jason studied him a while before he went walking with his team following him behind. All watched until they disappeared into the school gates.
"Hey, G-man" Percy smiled.
Grover smiled and his eyes lit up. Annabeth let him go, and he walked up to Percy and the two embraced. It was funny to see, according to Annabeth, because Percy was a head taller than Grover, and he was of her same stature. Yes, Percy was very tall.
"Perce! It's been a year!" Grover exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know" The two men hugged until Piper cleared her throat.
"Sorry for interrupt, but Annabeth, we should go to gym class" she said, raising from the grass with her two other friends. Annabeth cried, hugged Grover once more and walked with her friends at the gym.
"See you tomorrow Grover, we have a lot to talk about" she shouted over her shoulder.
A/N= Oh, oh oh, Bianca and Thalia fought. Will Bianca forgive her best friend? Or will ignore her? Is Will a womanizer?
Grover returned. Will cause this problems for Katie? What will happen between the two eco-freaks? Is that the true face of Jason? Or just a mask that uses with his football mates? Read on to find out.
XOXO,
HappyOwl ;)
