A/N So I know that this chapter is really late, and I am EXTREMELY SORRY! But to make up for it I have an extra long chapter for you AND multiple POVs. Yay! Also, I experimented a bit with a third person POV, so please tell me what you think. Remember to comment, favourite and follow. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I realised that I haven't done a disclaimer for the previous chapters, so I apologise for that, and I do not own any PJO or HOO characters. That lucky Rick Riordan does.
Annabeth POV
I don't believe her. Diana Greeber, resident bitch, just decided to waltz on over, and flirt with my boyfriend. As usual – being the Seaweed Brain he is – he didn't even seem to notice. I was fine with it, mostly, but when she started running her hands up and down his arms. My fists were clenched by my sides.
Diana looked like she had something stuck in her eyes, and when she asked MY Seaweed Brain to the Summer Dance, I had to do something before my dagger came out of my pocket and went into someone's – preferably Diana's – neck. I just couldn't take it anymore. I decided to take matters into my own hands.
"Actually, he's going with me." I said, glaring at her.
"Oh really? We'll see about that." She said before strutting off to join her bitchy group again, probably to bitch about me.
As soon as Diana was out of earshot, I sighed, and collapsed against Percy. He seemed surprised, yet still hugged me back.
"What's the matter? Was it something I said? Are you okay?" he asked, firing concerned questions at me like bullets out of a machine gun. I nodded, but that only answered his most recent question.
"It's just that Diana has always had it in for me, since the first day. What's her problem? Why does she hate me? And now she wants to steal my boyfriend." I explained.
"Whoa, wait a second. She wants to steal me? Why?" Percy asked, with an adorable confused look on his face. I sighed. Sometimes he was just too oblivious.
"Yes. She wants to steal you because she really hates me, and, let's face it, you're hot. You're pretty clever, for a Seaweed Brain, and you're amazing at every sport. Why wouldn't she want you?" I told him. By the time I was finished, he was looking at me with a smug look in his eyes, and a smirk on his lips.
"You think I'm hot?" he asked incredulously.
"Maybe" I admitted."But seriously? That's all you heard?"
"Admit it Annie. You think I'm incredibly sexy, don't you?" he proclaimed, striking a pouty pose for emphasis.
"Shuddup." I said, laughing along with Percy, until I noticed Jacky Taylor and Diana Greeber coming towards us.
"Uh oh." I whispered.
"What's the ma- oh."
"So, Annie, wanna go out with me tonight?" asked Jacky Taylor. I could see Percy bristling with rage beside me, so I put my hand on his arm as I gave Jacky a curt, negative answer. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Diana Greeber was trying to flirt with my Percy. Again.
"So, Percy," she said, feeling my boyfriends muscles. My hand inched towards my dagger."You have really nice muscles," she continued "Do you work out a lot?" she asked. She must have had some dust in her eyes, because she was blinking like mad. I think Percy told her that he swam a lot or something , but my attention was diverted by Jacky putting his hand on my arm.
"Annie? You alright?" he asked me.
"What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." I replied.
"Good." He said. "So, I realised I don't actually know that much about you Annie."
"Well, first off, I hate being called Annie. What else do you want to know?"
"Well, Annie," he said, putting emphasis on my nickname. "What do you like to do for fun, apart from read?" he joked.
"Well," I told him "I like to swim a lot, and I quite like freestyle drawing – although I suck at it!" I laughed.
"I bet you're not as bad as me. Once I drew a tree, and my Dad thought I was drawing an alien invading. He even said he could see a face." We laughed.
"Okay, okay. That's pretty bad, but I can do better than that. Once I drew a cat for my mom on Mother's Day, and she thanked me for the, and I quote, 'beautiful monster pirate.' How are they similar?"
"Okay, okay. You win." Jacky conceded. "You are officially the worst freestyle artist ever. Congratulations."
"Gee, thanks." I replied, sarcasm dripping from my voice.
"No worries," Jacky grinned. His grin was infectious, and I couldn't help but grin at him myself.
Maybe Jacky Taylor isn't so bad at all.
Percy POV
I was chatting to Annabeth, and having a great time, when this arrogant bastard comes up and just casually asks Annabeth out. Can't he see that she's going out with me?
As I was considering throwing him into Tartarus, Annabeth put her hand on my arm. I don't why, but her just touch calmed her down. Annabeth can always calm me down no matter what.
Annabeth didn't say yes to that 'Jacky Taylor' dude, but I was distracted by that Diana placing her manicured hand on my biceps.
"So, Percy," she said. I think it was supposed to be seductive, but it seriously failed. Her eyes just kept on and on blinking super fast. It's super distracting.
"Do you work out a lot Percy?" I wonder, does scaling the lava wall at camp, and beating just about all of the campers at sword fighting in my half-god half-human camp count as working out? I gave up on that question, and settled for just telling her that I swim a lot, because I do. Every single day.
Anyway, as I kept talking t Diana, I heard Annabeth laughing along with Jacky Taylor. Great. What if she gets a crush on him? What if she dumps me for him? What if –
"Percy?"
"What? Oh, sorry Diana, I was just...thinking."
"Oh. Well, anyway, I was just telling you some of the rumours going around about Annabeth. Since she's your girlfriend, I figured you should know." She told me, looking innocently at me. I sighed. Please let them all be lies.
Diana then proceeded to tell me all the horrible rumours that these people have made up about Annabeth. About my Annabeth.
Jacky Taylor POV
Wow. Just wow.
I always knew that Annabeth Chase was smart, good at sport, and cute, but now I find out that she is also funny, sarcastic, and she can't draw? She is literally my dream girl. So I will do whatever i have to get her.
Diana Greeber POV
My plan is going swimmingly.
Annabeth and Jacky are getting along really well, so she is bound to agree when he asks her to the Summer Dance. After all, why wouldn't she? He's hot, pretty clever, captain of both the football and basketball teams, and he is funny. Heck, I'd even take him if Percy wasn't – to put it simply – hotter.
As well as those two getting along amazingly, I have no doubt that Percy won't fall head over heels for me soon – everybody does. Soon, Jacky Taylor will get rid of Annabeth for me, and I will be with the hottest guy at Montauk High.
Percy Jackson will fall for me.
Only a few more days.
Third Person POV
Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson are a couple whose relationship can only be described as love. They look at each other with loving eyes, they hold each other in loving embraces. They smile at each other with loving smiles. They are the perfect couple.
But Percy Jackson is bound to be a popular boy. Diana Greeber is the most popular girl. On paper, they seem like a good couple, but in real life, they simply don't fit together.
Jacky Taylor and Annabeth chase. The popular jock and the nerdy geek. On paper, you might be mad to put them together, but in reality, they laugh along together like old friends. They could even be very good friends.
Who knows what will happen to them through high school. Who will end up with who? That is the question.
