Prologue Continued
Author Note: Hey everyone, its Simple. I'm back as you can see. If any of you are readers from my old stories I thank you for remaining loyal to me as an author and awaiting my return. I also would like to thank my new readers. You guys are the best and I'm glad that you could join the squad.
Now about the story. I know the first part of the prologue was brief (and this one will be too) but I'm trying to keep the plot line open. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this yet so if you have any ideas hmu. I was thinking of making this a Goode High Performing Arts story. If you like the idea comment/review. Anyway that's all from me. Enjoy the chapter! -Simple
Annabeth POV
Percy Jackson…
The name brings along mixed feelings. He's cute, boy is he cute in that rugged sort of skateboarder way. Yet I have Luke. And after what Percy said about Luke shouldn't I be pulling away from him?
Yet everything in my being is pulling me toward him. When we touched I swear I felt a connection there. Like the zap you sometimes get when you rub your feet on the carpet and then touch someone, only stronger by tenfold. He transferred here last year, a little after Luke and I got together and our relationship hasn't been the same since. Luke has felt intimidated by Percy's presence so he's felt the need to put him down at every turn in the hopes of unnerving him. I don't support his motives or actions.
Back to Percy, I feel as though it's wrong of me to think about him when I already have a guy in my life but it feels so right. If that make sense…
By God I'm not usually this confused, trust me. With a 4.5 GPA I like to think of myself as smart. It's surprising how easy the AP courses are at Goode High. My favorite class by far would be a toss-up between Greek and Architecture. Being a junior really opens up the door for classes you can take.
After the run in with Percy I ran to catch up with Luke and his buddies. They were making their way towards the lunch room. The halls were just as crowded as they were a second earlier. They were talking and hadn't noticed my presence. I heard a snippet of their conversation from behind them.
"That Jackson kid's a piece of shit. As we were walking away I swear I saw him talking with your girl; flirting more or less." Said Luke's right hand man Ethan Nakamura.
"Oh, was he now?" Asked Luke.
"Yeah, I saw the fucker. Flirting with her, had her laughing and everything. He was definitely flirting with her." Said Ethan.
The snake had the nerve to lie! Our conversation had been anything if not funny. I'll show him who matters more to Luke.
"Cool, I'll settle this with him after school." stated Luke matter of factly right before I interrupted.
"Hey baby, glad I caught up with you. I just had a quick chat with Percy about Greek. You know the class you're failing?" That definitely caught his attention. He hated when people called attention to his mistakes. "Anyway I heard Ethan mistakenly say that Percy had been flirting with me. I just wanted to set the record straight so you wouldn't start anything over something that's entirely false."
Luke responded with "Yeah, okay, like I'm going to believe your shit Annabeth. Who do you think I'd believe first, you or my best friend?"
That definitely hit home and I said "I thought I was your best friend?"
"No, that's not true in the slightest. You're good for one thing Annabeth and you know exactly what that is." He said raking my body over with his intense gaze. Ethan had the nerve to laugh.
Turning back to his buddy Ethan Luke said "Today after school I'll settle this with Jackson."
Turning to look back over his shoulder at me Luke said "Stay out of this Annie, if you know what's good for you." I remembered the last time I hadn't listened to Luke when he was in one of his moods. The bruise lasted for a solid month.
And with that Luke, Ethan, and Chris Rodriguez stalked away.
