Hey Guy's, How you doing? Hopefully everyone's having a good day. So Here's the next Chapter.
Chapter 7
Percy's POV
It's been two day's and Annabeth's group was still hanging out with us, I honestly was think they would get bored of us soon. But apparently not, they liked hanging out with us. Part of it has to do with Reyna and Michael, they started dating the other day. Which brought are groups a little closer, but I was really nervous about school. No doubt they wouldn't hang with us in school, they would probably be embarrassed to hang with us. I shook my head, I need to concentrate so I don't crash into anyone. I'm currently skateboarding down 'Goode Hill Park', and I really didn't want to hurt someone. I was listening to 'Asking Alexandria' and I closed my eyes for a second, and it just so happened that in that one second my eyes are closed I crash into someone. I'm launched off my board, and crash onto the soft grass. The person I crashed into, lands on top of me and I lose my breath for a minute. Pain shot up my back, no doubt it was still sore from Gabe throwing me at the wall last night. My headphones fell out of my ears, I looked up at the person on top of me and I recognize the stormy grey eyes that look back. "I-I'm so sorry Annabeth, I wasn't looking where I was going" I stuttered as I tried to apologize. Annabeth stood up, brushing off invisible dirt from her jeans. "It's fine, Percy at least I had a soft landing" She said, cracking a smile.
"Yeah, I guess" I said, as I stood up. 'I didn't know you skated" Annabeth said, I rubbed the back of my neck. "Oh yeah, uh well you learn something new everyday right" Smooth. Annabeth picked up my phone from the ground, and handed it to me. "Here, and yeah I guess your right" She said, with a faint smile. I took my phone, and grabbed my board. "So uh what are you doing, today?" I asked her, she pulled her sleeves closer to her hands while she answered. "I just kind of wanted to go for a walk, didn't really have anything to do" I nodded, a faint smile appearing on my face. "So you mean you don't have any books to read, and you already steadied and did your homework." Annabeth nodded, smiling. "Wanna sit down?" She asked, pointing to a nearby bench. I nodded, and we walked over and sat down.
"So Uhh Annabeth, I'll totally understand if..." I trailed off. Annabeth looked concerned, "Understand what? she asked. "I looked at her, I'll understand if you and your group don't wanna hangout with us at school." She gave me a questioning look. "Why wouldn't we want to hang out with you guy's? She asked. "Cause we're the 'emos' of the school, we're nobody's" I said, putting 'emos' in quotations. Annabeth looked surprised, she placed her hand on my shoulder. The physical contact surprised me a bit, but luckily I didn't back away. "Why would you think that, just because everybody else says that doesn't mean its true. You shouldn't let other people put you down, who cares what they say." She sounded angry, I'm not sure if it was at me or not though. "Ignore what everybody else say's ok" She told me, I nodded. We spent the next hour or so talking.
-Line Break-
Third Person's POV
Two weeks. Its been two weeks, and they still hangout with Percy's group. At lunch, after school, in the courtyard. Percy was enjoying the company too, they still didn't know everything about him, but they didn't question it and that was something he was glad for. It was Tuesday now, and Percy was currently at Annabeth's locker. "Are you going to hang out with us in the courtyard today, after school?" She asked. He nodded, "Yeah, my step-dad won't need me today" She smiled, and pulled out her 'Pre-calculus' textbook. "Sound's great" She said. The warning bell chimed, signaling the students we had three minutes left to get to class. "I'll see ya later Annabeth" Percy walked off to class.
Annabeth closed her locker door, not noticing the sudden silence of the hallway. Until she turned around to face Rachel, and she did not look happy. The little bit of remaining student's, all stared. Wondering what would happen, "Uh hi Rachel, can I help you?" Annabeth asked. Rachel glared, "Stay away from him" She said. Annabeth was confused, she brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I don't know who your talking about." Though Annabeth had an idea, of who Rachel was talking about. "Percy" Rachel said. "You need to stay away from him, whether he knows it or not he's still mine" Rachel said, sneering. Annabeth glared at her. How dare she refer to Percy as an object, she simply couldn't say Percy was hers as if he was just a piece of her property. "No" Annabeth simply said. Rachel looked a bit surprised "Excuse me?" She asked. "I'm not going to stay away from Percy, He's my friend and If I want to hangout with him I can. Also you cant refer to him, as a piece of your property." Annabeth ranted on.
"Yes, you will stay away from him. You will do it, if you know what's good for you." Rachel said, glaring at Annabeth. "I'm not scared of you Rachel" Annabeth said. Rachel just smirked, turned around so dramatically her hair whipped Annabeth's face, and walked away. The bell ringed, signaling the start of first period. Annabeth cursed, and rushed of to class.
-Lunch-
Annabeth placed her tray, next to Percy. She sat down, Percy snatched a couple fries from her tray. A small smile tugged at Annabeth's mouth, "That is so rude Percy, stealing other people's food" Annabeth, pretended to scowled Percy. Percy was about to respond, but was interrupted by Michael. "Awww look guy's the two love birds are flirting" He said, while putting his arm around Reyna. Percy glared at Michael, everyone else just smiled and agreed. Annabeth was about to make a sarcastic remark to him, but all of a sudden she was hit by something small, plump and squishy. Annabeth looked down to see, the remains of a balloon. The contents spilled all over her, It was syrup. She was completely covered in syrup, she looked around. The entire cafeteria had gone silent, everyone was staring in her direction. Annabeth scanned the crowd, until her eyes landed on Rachel's table. Rachel was sitting next to Octavian, as well as a couple obnoxious and cocky jocks. They were the only one's that were laughing, Annabeth glared. Thalia stood up, "I'm going to kill that bitch" She said. "Thalia" Annabeth said, Thalia looked over at her. "Sit, don't get in between. She's only doing this so I don't hangout with Percy." Annabeth said, glancing at Percy. He wouldn't meet her eyes, "Bu-" Thalia was about to respond, but Annabeth glared. Thalia sat, knowing that Annabeth was going to get them back. But in her own way.
Piper and Reyna stood up, "Lets go get you cleaned up" Piper said. They walked off. Everyone looked at Percy, "What the hell Percy, aren't you going to do something?" Thalia asked, anger practically oozing from her question. Percy stared down at the table, not daring to look at anyone. "Just leave him be Thalia" Jason said, placing a hand on his sister's shoulder. Thalia didn't want to but she dropped the topic. Percy felt like a coward, that happened to Annabeth because she was hanging out with him. This was all his fault, at least that's how Percy felt. He needed to stand up for Annabeth, but how could he do that when he could barely stand up for himself. Percy needed to apologize to Annabeth, and he needed to say something to Rachel to get her to stop.
So what do you guy's think. I honestly really want to slap Rachel right now, Unfortunately I cant. But don't worry Percy will deal with her soon, just give him time. But yeah guy's, let me know what you think and I'll try to update tomorrow. Not sure though, cause I need to update my other story also. Also let me know if you guy's can see the Cover Photo for this story, cause I uploaded one. But I cant see it, so I don't know if it worked.
.Girl- I actually might use those songs, just not in the sense of Percy's bad playing it. Im not sure though, If I'll include any gods as teachers. We'll have to see. But I hope you enjoyed this chapter, Bye.
