THE FAKES IN GOODE AND

ANNABETH CHASE

SUMMARY: my version of 'Annabeth goes to Goode'. Annabeth goes to Goode because her step-mother got a temporary promotion and decided to tag along so she can be w/Percy. When she got there, she found out that Percy is the hottest most popular guy there. She encounters girls who are drooling for her boyfriend, and the worst is …. THEY. ARE. FAKES!

CHAPTER 19

PERCY'S P.O.V.

I was ecstatic that Annabeth and I were okay again. These past few days, I've been devastated, because she won't talk to me. And when she finally did, I can't help but feel a bit angry. Though, I knew it already…

"Hi." She said, looking at me. I nodded.

"Hey." I said. I mentally cursed. This is so awkward….

"Percy, I'm sorry."

"Annabeth, I'm sorry." We apologized at the same time. I furrowed my eyebrows. Why would she apologize? I thought, but a nagging feeling told me I knew it already. But still, can't hurt to be sure, right?

"Why are you sorry?" I asked. She looked down, a blush rising to her cheeks.

"Well, I- uh, well, I sort'a knew it already." She said. I raised an eyebrow, daring her. She gulped. "You know, about you being innocent. I knew that you didn't do anything wrong." Her voice broke at the end. If I said I wasn't even a tiny bit angry, I'm lying. Of course, I was a bit mad. She practically said that she avoided me without a reason. Though, I knew there was. Everything has a reason.

"So…" I said. I guess I was glaring a bit or maybe my voice was hard or a bit lower than usual, 'cause she winced and looked down.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I really am sorry. I don't know why I did that. I guess, I just needed time. I really don't know what I needed time for, but I- I.. really am sorry." She apologized. My glare instantly softened. She was looking everywhere, but me. She was also breathing hard, a bit. I knew she was really sorry. And that was enough said.

I tried a reassuring smile. I put my hand at the side of her face and made her look at me.

Her gray eyes were so… so… so….naked. Exposed. She always had this sort of barrier in her eyes, making no one, except the ones close to her, see her emotions or feelings or whatever you might call it. But at that moment, it was so exposed, that anyone who'd look in her eyes would know her, what she was feeling, what her emotions were, etc.

"Hey, it's okay." I whispered. She furrowed her eyebrows at me.

"You can't possibly think that!" she said. "I just basically told you that I ignored you because I felt like it. Do something. Don't talk to me. Ignore me. Just..just do something that I deserve for doing that to you." I shook my head.

"No, Annabeth. I know there's a reason. Even if that reason was because you just needed time. A reason's a reason." I told her, rubbing her cheek with my thumb. I leaned in that our foreheads were touching. "Annabeth don't you think that what's important right now, is for us to be okay, again?" I asked, looking in her eyes. She nodded.

"I just feel like I need to be..punished? I don't know. I just-" before she could finish, I cut her off with my lips.

She seemed shocked at first, but kissed me back with the same passion and love I've been holding since the party. Which is a lot, by the way.

I could hear someone squeal and a grumble, but I didn't mind it. I didn't care if the entire school body was watching us. All that was on my mind was that Annabeth and I were okay. And that's all that matters. Until someone decided to break Annabeth and I apart..

"Hey, guys.." I heard Danielle said. "I think that's enough, now.. The whole school is watching…" she whispered/sneered the last part. We quickly broke apart. True to her words, almost everyone was watching. I blushed under they're stare. Well more like, red faces from anger, jealousy or from laughing. Mostly, the laughing part was from our friends and some perverted guys at Goode. Good thing, that Paul saved us. Or was it a bad thing, 'cause that means that he was there, watching…

"Okay, that's enough, kids! Go home!" Paul shouted at the crowd.

Once they were- the crowd, I mean- gone, I let out a breath that I've been holding.

"Thanks, Paul." Annabeth sighed. Paul smiled at her. Annabeth always called Paul 'Mr. Blofis' causing Paul always telling her to call him 'Paul'. It took a while, but eventually, she finally called him 'Paul'.

"It's okay." Paul said, smiling at her. "Besides, it has been a while since we had some interesting things going on, here." He said, looking at me with a knowing smile. I smiled, sheepishly at him.

"Y-you saw that?" Annabeth stuttered. I knew she knew the answer. She was just hoping that he didn't. Paul just smiled at her then looked at me.

"Well, I say that you should be going home now, Percy." He said. He glanced at Annabeth, who was very interested in her shoe, and then turned back to me. "You should make sure Annabeth goes home, safely too. Tell Sally I'll be late, because of a staff meeting?" I nodded to both and then he walked away, heading for the entrance of the school building. I turned to Annabeth.

"So, wanna go home, now?" I asked her. She looked up at me.

"Huh, what?" she said. I pointed to the parking lot. "Oh..yeah, sure!"

We were in my car and we were headed to Annabeth's house. Er….apartment?

"And here we are!" Annabeth said as I stopped the car in front of her house.

"So, I guess this is goodbye." I said, unlocking the doors. Annabeth chuckled her melodic-like chuckle. I looked at her, smiling slightly at the sound. She looked back at me.

"Hey, Percy, you want to go in?" she whispered. I blinked, twice.

"W-What?" I asked. She smiled and pointed at her house, at the same time, opening her door and unlocking her seatbelt. "I thought you didn't want it to be a mess?" she shrugged.

"Actually, I told you, Helen doesn't want it to be a mess. And it's been weeks since we moved here and I figured I should let my boyfriend come in soon, besides, you have been there before. All Helen doesn't want is for you and Nico to be there together." She explained as she stepped out of the car. I unlocked my seatbelt and was going to open my car door, when she looked back at me. "Don't you think?"

I smiled, stepping out of my car. I closed my door and walked to Annabeth's side. I put an arm around her shoulders, leaning against my car, smiling at her. "Yeah.." she smiled.

"Well, come on!" she exclaimed as she walked to her door. I closed the car door that was on her side and locked my car, before catching up to her.

"Hey, Wise Girl, wait up!" I said as she opened the apartment door.

When we were inside her house, I tried my best not to ogle at it. Annabeth sure did a great job on decorating this. I thought. The last time, I went here, the house was really good, but right now, the house had more designs and looked a lot better than before.

"So…" Annabeth said, coming up to me. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You like it?"

"Heck, yeah!" I exclaimed. "Do you even have to ask? I gotta be an idiot 10 more times than I am, now to dislike this! But, you know…what can you expect from the architect of Olympus?"

She smiled. And then laughed. I looked at her, weirdly.

"What?!" I shouted. She shook her head.

"Nothing, nothing…" she said. I pouted. "Do you want something to eat?" I perked up and she immediately laughed.

We just hang out the whole afternoon, having a great time. Maybe, a kiss or two..

Anyway, we were just enjoying our time, when my cell phone decided to ring. Er..bing? Considering that it was just a message and not a call…

I groaned, getting up from my place, which is on the floor with Annabeth sitting between my legs. Annabeth looked up with a concerned expression. I smiled, reassuringly, gesturing to my phone.

"It might be from mom. Do you mind?" I asked. She shook her head. I smiled at her, before I went out of her room. Gods, I forgot to tell mom that I was going to Annabeth's. I thought. I opened my phone, ready to read some scolding text from my mom, but what I saw made me angrier than I ever could with any of my mom's texts.

It was another annoying text from some annoying and probably childish person. I've been having these messages for a while now. This is probably my 11th – 10th time to get these kinds of messages. I was so angry, I have even thought of calling the unknown number or text back saying 'What the fuck?! Get out of my life! Have a real one and stop being so immature!' or something like that, but the fact that every time I get a message like this, the unknown number always changes. It's not the same.

I was debating, mentally if I should tell Annabeth about this or not. I tried to think. One of the things I learned from Annabeth is that if I have to make a choice, always think about the pros and cons. Now, if I tell Annabeth, she'd be worried. Con. If I didn't, I will still have more of these messages. Con. But then again, if I did tell Annabeth, it's not like it's a sure possibility that we can stop this. Con. And i- before I could decide, I heard Annabeth's voice.

"Percy?" Annabeth asked, worried. "Are you okay? You're still there, right?"

"Uh, yeah.. I'm still here." I called out. I walked back in her room, which was filled with blueprints and pictures of building, our friend at camp, and us. annabeth was now, standing next to her bed.

"Are you okay? You look really tensed.." she said, sitting on her bed. "Who was that? Was it your mom? Did you get in trouble?"

"Uh, no. I'm not in trouble" I think.. I added, mentally. I sat next to her on the bed. I saw that she was going to ask another question, but I cut her off, making a random decision not to tell her about the message. "I'm okay, Annabeth." She looked at, unsure. I sighed. "Look, what would you say if I said we'd go out on a date? To a fancy restaurant and it has a nice view?" she perked up.

"Really?" she asked, bewildered. I smiled. "Percy, no. it's going to be expensive and all. You don't have to do that. We could go to McDonald's for all I care." It was true. She wouldn't mind if we go to McDonald's for our date. But I do.

"I know." I said. "But I want to. And you can't do anything to change my mind." She thought for a second then smiled widely.

"Well, if you say so.." she said. "So, when are we going there?" she asked. I thought about it for a while, before deciding.

"What better day to have a date other than Saturday?" I said, smiling. She smiled.

"Oka-" she was cut off, by a familiar voice calling her name from downstairs.

"Annabeth?!" Helen called. "Is that you? Is there someone with you? Who are talking to, sweetie?"

"Yeah, it's me, Helen!" Annabeth shouted. "Percy's here, by the way!" she added. Helen appeared at the doorway of Annabeth's room. She was in her work clothes and her hair was in a tight, messy bun. She was holding a folder in her arms and had a laptop bag over her shoulders. She smiled at me, genuinely.

"Well, hello, Percy." She said. "It's nice to see you again."

"It's nice to meet you, too." I said, smiling, politely. She nodded, tightly.

"So.." she started. Annabeth and I looked at her, expectantly. "Is the death kid with black, here, too?" she whispered. I immediately cracked up. I didn't know Annabeth's step-mother describes Nico as 'death kid with black'?! Which is probably true…

"No, Helen." Annabeth said, after chuckling. "Nico is not here." Helen sighed.

"Oh, good.." I heard her whisper. I tried to contain my laughter. "Well, then, if you need anything, just tell me, okay?"

"Okay, Helen!" we both said at the same time. Helen chuckled, leaving Annabeth and I alone. I smiled at her.

"So.." she started, smiling back.

"So.." I said. "Death kid with black?" I finished. We looked at each other with serious faces. And then we laughed to no end.

Hours later, I decided to go home. I was afraid something happened, because mom didn't even send a single message to me. When I got home, I found a note stuck to the fridge. I read it aloud.

"Dear, Percy

Paul told me that he'd take me to dinner tonight,

He also told me that you went to Annabeth's and that's why you're late,

Don't wait up for me and if you ever are hungry, dinner's in the fridge.

I'll be back at midnight or so.. so, I better see you asleep when I get there.

BTW, Nico is sleeping. Don't wake him up or else..

Anyway, take care, don't bring the house down and I love you!

3, Mom.

P.S. Do your homework before you go to bed." I scoffed at that. Like that will ever happen.

- - - - - DONE - - - - -

Sorry. I know it's been more than a week and stuff, but school is a pain in the butt! So yeah, at least most of you are in summer, now! I'm not angry, by the way. Just expressing my point. :D

I noticed lots of you like Danielle. Well, guess what? I DO, TOO! :D and I also have a message. A really short one.

To: Guest, who said 'What do you mean second day of school it's summer'

Well, if you haven't read the author's note at the chapter…something.., I said that I lived in Philippines, which is on the other side of the world, considering you said that it's your summer and it's our school day. So, I hope that clears it up.

So, yup. This is it. sorry, I know it's really NOT good or any better but again school. Still, I apologize for this and having to update so long..

So, ask, comment, suggest, blah, blah, blah, etc. sorry for wrong grammar and spellings and such as.

I will try to update sooner! Please, just hang in there?
