Chapter Six ~ The Project

I walked into class early, smiling about my weekend. I found Percy sitting in the front scribbling on a piece of paper. He appeared to be writing something. He looked up and blushed and stuttered, "Oh h-hi Annabeth," I said "Hi Percy," grinning. Something was on the tip of his tongue, but then our teacher began speaking.

"Okay class, today we are going to start a project on human behaviour. You will be put into pairs with someone that you might not know that well. You will be studying their behaviour, ask them questions about themselves. Spend a week with your partner. Your job is to see if your view changed about them and why it did and the new information you learned. No written work is required, just an oral presentation from the both of you," in response to his statement the class collectively groaned. Everyone wanted to be paired with their friends but then the project probably wouldn't work. "There is a list that will go up of the pairs," said our teacher, Professor Hodge (TMI fans :P sorry haven't read it yet). Everyone rushed towards the list.

Thalia and Reyna

Leo and Nico

Fred and Prim

George and Fleur

There were a few more, I scanned the list until my eyes rested on my name.

Annabeth and Percy

I took a deep breath, what would happen to me after this. Percy walked up to me and gave me a goofy grin, "So I guess we're partners then," said Percy. I smiled at him. Our teacher then told us that we were allowed to begin our project now. This meant I was spending a whole week of alone time with Percy. I had no clue what secrets Percy might have but I certainly know had a few...

Percy and I walked out into an open part of the school. It was sunny. We sat on a bench. "So what's your favourite colour?" asked Percy. "Sea green, what's yours?" "Blue is my favourite colour!" said Percy with a mischievous face. "Blue chocolate chip cookies are my mum's speciality," I looked at him with raised eyebrowns, 'Do you have a reason?" "In fact I do have a reason, you see I had an annoying nosy neighbour when I was little. His name was Smelly Gabe. He said that there was no such thing as blue food. Mum and I went out of our way to have or make blue food just for fun," said Percy grinning. "It's a kind of tradition we have,". "Aww that's so cute! But Percy Tyson's surname is Blofis, so if I may ask is your mother married to our English teacher?" I asked. "Yes that'd be correct, Paul really a cool guy," replied Percy.

"I also like another colour, stormy grey, that happens to be the colour of your eyes, they're really by the way," said Percy with a smile. I was blushing a lot, "Thank you Percy." "Now what's one thing you like about me?" asked Percy. I was slightly taken back, there were so many things I could say about him, his hair, his eyes, his muscles. "I like your smile, it's mischievous and playful I think it suits you well," "Thanks Wise Girl," said Percy with a wink. The bell went for our next class, there was a comfortable silence between. "Want me to walk you to your next class?" I replied with a grin,"Yes that would be nice, thanks Seaweed Brain,". The rest of the day was nice. Lunch went by with lots of chatter but I spent most of the time daydreaming. Piper gave a few looks because she knew that I working with Percy and Thalia teased me about it because she thinks we make a good couple. The seemed like it was the best day of the week, I was extremely happy. The twins and I rode home giggling to our selves in the dappled light under the trees.

Ugh I know it's short but ❤❤ thanks to everyone who reviews, just reading them make me smile. It's an amazing feeling to know you've written something that people enjoy reading.
