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 23
PERCY'S P.O.V.
Annabeth pressed the doorbell.
*DUN DON*
We waited, but no one opened the door. I looked at Annabeth seeing she was already looking at me with worried eyes. I gripped my hand that was holding hers. Her other hand went to the doorknob and slowly turned it.
"It's open." She said. I nodded even though she didn't see me. She slowly opened the door and dragged me in with her. The house was normal, nothing out of place. I closed the door behind me as quiet as I can and followed Annabeth. "Helen? Are you home?"
"Uhh.. yeah… Helen, are you h-here?" I asked, getting a little nervous. Maybe she would understand… I mean, we really didn't do anything bad.
A few seconds later we heard something from the kitchen. Like a fire. No-not like a 'burnng the whole hose' fire. Just a normal cooking fire.
"Helen?.." Annabeth asked when we got near the kitchen.
"Annabeth! Is that you, sweetie?!" we heard Helen say.
"Uh…yes- oomph!" Annabeth said, getting tackled by Helen.
"Oh, gosh! Thank goodness you're here!" she said then ranted. "I thought I lost you! What happened to you? I specifically said that you should be home by midnight. Well- I guess I didn't, but I thought you got the idea! Annabeth what happened? Your father called and I had to lie to him by saying that were asleep! I feel so horrible! Why didn't you come home earlier?! Percy's mother even called." At this I held my breath. "Oh that guy! Where is he?! I definitely have to tell something to him. I mean, I know Percy's trustable, but what if he did something to you?" At this, Annabeth's and mine's eyes grew. I wouldn't do that! But unfortunately, Annabeth's stepmom thought of the action differently. I still couldn't believe that she didn't yet see me. "- Did he do something to you?" she said slowly. I couldn't see what her expression was, though. She was facing me, so all I could see was her black hair and her back.
"WHAT?!" Annabeth screeched. If that was any different time, I would laugh so hard, but unfortunately it was so I just kept quiet. "No! Helen! Percy's not like that! I can't believe that you would even think-" she said getting out of their hug. "of that." But again, Helen didn't seem to hear any word she said.
"Y-you're wearing GUY CLOTHES!" Helen screamed. Now, I couldn't handle making Annabeth deal with this alone. Like I said, this is our problem.
"Okay, Mrs. Chase. That is enough!" I said. Both girl's head looked at me with big eyes. "Uhhh…"
"You…" Helen said, coming up to me.
"Helen.." Annabeth tried getting a hold of her, but Helen just shrugged her hand away.
"If I found out that you did something.." she said, threateningly, but Annabeth pulled her away from me. Thank you, Wise Girl.

After Annabeth calmed Helen a bit. Just a bit. Just a little tiny bit, we were sitting on the couch. Well, I was sitting on the couch and Helen was facing me from the separate couch and Annabeth was sitting on the love chair (or whatever they call it thingy-majig) beside the couches.
"So…" Annabeth said, trying to break the tension in the room. "You said dad called?"
"Yes." Helen said, still glaring at me. The weird thing is, I'm more scared right then than I was with the Minotaur. I mean, how would you feel if your girlfriend's stepmom / mom/ mom figure trusted you and then you break her rule and she think that you d-did something to your girlfriend? I know, all of the men out there in a relationship understands me.
"Well, what did he say, Helen?" I asked, helping Annabeth. At least trying to help Annabeth..
"Mrs. Chase!" Helen snapped. Annabeth and I were shocked.
"Uhmm.. sorry?" I said, unsurely, glancing at Annabeth. She shrugged, equally confused.
"I said you should have manners." She said. "You should call me Mrs. Chase instead of Helen."
"Helen.." Annabeth said. "Would you please just listen to us?" Helen sighed and massaged her temples.
"Look, Annabeth, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood right now. Maybe we could just talk some other time about this. Okay?" Helen- Mrs. Chase said, standing up. Annabeth nodded. Then Helen looked at me and sighed. "I think you should go now, Percy. Your mother must be worried."
"Uhhh… sure. I guess.." I said, standing up as well.
"I'll walk you to the door." Annabeth said quickly, walking up to me.
"Whatever." I heard Mrs. Chase say before she climbed upstairs. Then I remembered the thing she was cooking.
I opened my mouth to ask Annabeth, but I guess my Wise Girl was already thinking ahead of me.
"Don't worry, Seaweed Brain." She said, smiling. "I'll finish the cooking after you go." I sighed.
"And what about telling Mrs. Chase what actually happened?" I asked as we walked to the front door.
"I'll deal with it. She'll be in the mood to talk soon enough, anyway." She said when we were outside the door.
"So.." I said. "I'll just see you on Monday then."
"Mhhmmm." She said. She leaned in and kissed me quick.
"Annabeth! Get on with the cooking, please! You're grounded, too!" We heard Helen shout. Beside me, I heard Annabeth growl.
"Anyway, I need to go. See yah!" she said, closing the door.
"Right." I said. "Now all I have to do is tell mom…"
- - - - - -xxxxXXXXXxxxxxXXXXXXXxxxXXXXxxxxxxXXXXxxxx- - - - - -
"Mom! I'm back!" I shouted as I entered my house. "Sorry for worrying you! There was just this attack, but we're okay! I promise, I'm fine!"
"Percy?" Paul said, coming from the living room.
"Uh, hey Paul." I greeted.
"You're mom's gone." He said. "She went to work. I think you should call her and tell her what happened. She was pretty stressed last night. You got her pretty worried. And then after that go to rest. Okay?"
"Sure." I said and went up to my room. After I closed the door, I took my phone out and dialed my mother's number. "Hey, mom…"

Monday morning…
RING! RING! RING!
"Uggghhh!" I grumbled, waking up. I rolled out of my bed and well, I 'accidentally' fell. "Ouch!"
I sat up and looked at the time, which was '7:00'. School starts at eight, so I still got time. I decided to go to the shower and after that I was a little bit more alive than before. I dressed up and went down to the dining room. Just another simple day.
"Hey, mom." I said. I didn't get to see her yesterday when she went back home, because when Paul said then I should go rest, he didn't know that I would rest until I woke up the next day. So, back to the point, I came up to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry."
"Oh, it's okay, Percy." She said. "I'm fine. I'm just glad that you're okay. C'mon eat up. I made blue pancakes…." At this I smiled and immediately sat down on my chair.
"Oh, Percy, I forgot to tell you!" mom said. "Paul isn't feeling well today, so suspect a substitute teacher."
"Ahhh!" I said, swallowing my food. "Why?! The last sub was so horrible!! She's as horrible as Ms. Dodds!!" I shivered, remembering the old monster teacher. Mom laughed.
"Oh, I'm sure Annabeth will help you get through this." She said. "Oh, wait! Annabeth doesn't have English with you. Aww… poor baby." She cooed.
"Mom!" I whined. "You're only making it worse." She laughed. "Whatever." I whispered. "Hey, mom, where's Nico? I haven't seen him for a while."
"Oh yeah, me too. I think he went to the underworld." She said. "I do recall him telling me that. The last time I saw him was on Friday." I nodded.
"Well, I'm sure he's okay." I said, standing up. "I'll go now, mom. Tell Paul to get better. I mean, really get better. Fast." She laughed.
"Okay, I'll be sure to tell him that." She said as I kissed her cheek.
"Bye!" I said, getting out the door. I walked to my car and went in, preparing myself for what the school has for me today. I sighed and started the car.
- - - -c-c-c-c-c-c—c-c-c—c-c—c-c-c-c—c-c-c—c
When I got to the school, it was very noisy compared to a normal day. Damn what is it? Prom?! I thought. I was also greeted by strangers I don't know, but apparently knows me. They were all saying:
"I hope you get picked this year, too!" or "OMG, you were the one last year!" or "You're awesome! I saw you last year and the year before that. You did an AMAZING job."
I mean, What the Hades? I don't even know them. What even happened last year. All that was happening right now in my head was all 'WHAT?'.
I sighed and decided to go to Annabeth's locker. When I got there, I saw her having the same treatment I was having moments ago. I sighed again (I seem to be doing that a lot today, huh? And it's not even half the day yet.) and walked to her.
"Excuse me, please." I said, trying to squeeze in the group of students talking to my girlfriend. And most of them were boys, and I'm not a very big fan of that. After I got in the crowd, there was only one more person who was blocking me from Annabeth. "Would you mind if talk to my girlfriend alone?" I asked Jake, loud enough for him and the students around Annabeth to hear.
Jake turned around and glared at me. "Whatever, dude." He growled and went away. I raised an eyebrow at the remaining people who were still there and they got the message and left us alone.
I sighed. "So…" I said, leaning on the lockers, looking at Annabeth. "What was all that about?"
"I don't know." She said, closing her locker. "They were all asking questions at the same time. I didn't even get to answer what was my surname."
I laughed. "Who would ask that to a stranger?" I said
"I know right!" she said. "I did get some of the questions that sort of 'hit me' or took my attention. They said if I was joining the committee and if I was joining the main role for the play or something." My eyes widened.
"That's happening now?!" I said. "Why does it have to be so early? I mean, why can't they just start it when it's like the 4th quarter or something. URRGHH! They're going to cast me and it's going to be so boring!" I ranted. I stopped when I saw Annabeth staring at me. Oh, right.. she doesn't know what I'm talking about.
"Okaaayyy.. What?" she said as she started to walk. I followed her.
"Well, remember this play we were talking about?" she nodded. "Well, just like you said they were talking about it, but I didn't know they would be serious about doing it already?! You see, it's like a normal play. Boring. And they get to choose some actors and actresses and the rest just have to audition. It really sucks. And It takes a whole quarter to just get readied and then the showing of the play is on the next quarter. I mean, who's go time for that? I may look like I sit around all day, but I'm a very busy man!" I said- err.. ranted. I really hate this play.
"Hmm…" she mumbled. "It sounds fun." She said.
"FUN?! Fun?! It's anything but fun." I said. "I bet what cheesy play they're doing this time. URRGHHH! And the best part is, they're going to tell us who are the selected actors and actresses on the first period. Stupid student body president. Gets to choose whoever he/her likes. Pfft!"
Annabeth laughed, making my mood a bit brighter. "We better go now, Seaweed Brain, the bell's coming up soon. And we wouldn't want to get late for our first period.." she teased.
"Ehhh.." I scowled.
RING…. RING…. RING….
"Told yah!" Annabeth said. "C'mon"
"Oh, go ahead!" I said. "I forgot something in my locker! I didn't get to go there this morning, because there were some people crowding it!"
"Okay." She replied, smiling. "Want me to save you a seat?"
"Only if it's next to you, yes." I said and kissed her. "See yah."
I ran down the hallway to my locker and opened it as fast as I can. I didn't even know why I was hurrying. I took my notebook out and closed my locker. I was going to get back, when my lovely cousin just had to show up. Good thing the hallway's abandoned. Well, like he cares.
"Nico!" I said. "What are you doing here? You don't show up for what two, three days and you show up in my school! On a Monday!" I sighed, shaking my head with disapproval.
"Yeah, yeah. Glad to know you missed me." he said. I started walking, knowing he will follow me. Weather I like it or not.. "So, I heard that you battled the Minotaur? How'd it go?"
"First of all, it went not so good. And second, how? Where did you hear that I battled the Minotaur? Mom?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"Nope!" he said. "I saw that diaper-freak in the Underworld. He was shouting 'I hate you, Perseus Jackson! I will be back and kill you again and again and again!" I laughed. Not because of what the Minotaur said, but because of how weird Nico's voice is when he told the line of what the Minotaur said. "Hardiharhar, Jackson. He also said about almost beating you. Is old man Percy already losing his touch?" he teased.
A student running around, passed us and gave a us a weird glance, probably thinking who and where the hell Nico came from.
"No!" I defended. "It was a surprise attack! I was shocked! And yeah, remember the grandfather of Macy Annabeth told us about?" he nodded. "Turns out he's a clear sighted mortal and he saved me."
"Wow" he said. "For once you're not the hero!"
"All students in the hallway, kindly go to your respected classrooms, so your teachers may give you the important news." The voice of the VP, Mrs. Adoria, blasted through the speakers. " I repeat. All students in the hallway, kindly go to your respected classro…"
I scoffed. "I'm not always the hero, Nico. There are people way more better than me." I walked a little faster.
"Like there is…" I heard him mutter. "Hey!" he called, keeping in pace with me.
"You should go now, Nico. This is my class." I said, pointing to the door at the end of the hall.
"Eh, fine" he sighed. "Oh! And Percy," I looked at him. "Congrats, your name was picked." He smirked and winked playfully at me. I growled.
"Like, I didn't expect that.." I muttered. I looked at Nico to ask him how he knew, but he was gone. "Coward.." I whispered.
"Hey! You! Young man, didn't the Vice President told you to go to your classroom?! Wait, !" I heard a teacher's voice shout. I looked back and saw the sub for Paul.(yeah, the one who's as worse as Mrs. Dodds) running towards me. I ran to my HR classroom as fast as I can, only looking back when I got to the door. I saw her running then she tripped, making me laugh.
"Shit!" she said, making me laugh even harder. She looked up and glared at me. Uh Oh.. I quickly walked in the room and ran to my place beside Annabeth and the guys.
"Where have you been?" she hissed. "They're taking attendance."
"Uh, I'll tell you later." I replied.
"Hey, Perce glad you made it." Zach said.
"So, I heard Ms. Cruella DeVille's voice shouting." Alex said. The he leaned on the table. "Tell me more."
"Wel-" I was going to tell them what happened when the teacher called my name.
"Jackson, Perseus?" he said. Some students laughed, but I ignored them. I was used to it. "Jackson, Perseus?"
"Here, sir." I said loud enough for him to hear, raising my arm.
"Ah, good." He said. "Felix Torranto?, Felix Torranto?"
I sighed and continued to tell the story to the guys. They enjoyed it. Especially, the part when The terror teacher screamed 'shit'. Not long after that, the teacher decided to give the announcement." Here we go..
"Today we have the results of the Student Committee and it is decided that the annual school play is going to start this quarter up to the next quarter. –BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH-" there wasn't any 'blah's but I just got tired of the same announcement and didn't listen. "- And they have decided on who to have parts in the play, but in this year, they have decided to put a limit on choosing on the students to play. Now, the maximum is six. So, *cough* here we go,
Jake Davis," the students clapped (except for me, Annabeth and the guys, who glared and scoffed) and Jake, who was surprisingly in this class stood up like the cocky jerk he is.
"Alice Thompson" some people clapped, but considering Alice wasn't in the same homeroom class so no much clapped.
"Kyle Tristan." Kyle stood up, looking normal while we clapped for him. Well, I wasn't doing it very enthusiastically, but still..
"Zachary Kurt." Zach stood up, obviously shocked and smiled a little as we clapped and cheered for him.
"You got in, man!" Alex and I said. I smiled, knowing that I wouldn't get called, because when they usually call my name, I usually stand up first. But of course The Fates have something other in mind and forgetting about what Nico told made it more unexpecting.
"And the two last, but definitely not the least..
Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase."
