A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry for not updating my Call of Duty stories in a while. I'm having major writers block for all three of my unfinished stories. And before I update them, I may have to change them. It's just that, have you ever written a story and found that it was too short, too bland, e.c.t? That's exactly how I'm currently feeling. All three of them are too short, and too bland. I need to try to make them longer, use better vocabulary, and alter the story just a little. So please be patient, I promise I will update.
I know you're probably wondering, "You have three unfinished stories, and you just admitted that you need to change them, but now you're creating another story? Are you mad?" Well, I just need a break from all the Call of Duty. I think that's what's gotten me in a writer's slump. I need to explore my options. I've always wanted to write a Percy Jackson story, because Percy Jackson and the Olympians is currently my favorite book series in the world. I figured if I take a break from the three Call of Duty stories, and create a Percy Jackson story, after I finish this one I will know what to do with the three other stories. Does this makes sense?
I don't know if you could tell from my Call of Duty stories where I never mention the word "love", but I, well simply, just love love! I've always wanted to do a romantic story between Percy and Annabeth, and that's what this story will be about. Please review or pm me if you find any errors in this story, or if you have any positive/negative comments about it. Please enjoy!
"Percy! Wake up! You're going to be late!" I heard my mother yell from downstairs. I lazily got out of bed and started to walk downstairs.
"You don't want to be late for the first day of school? Now hurry and get a shower, and then you can eat your blueberry pancakes." she said. It's true, today is the first day of high school. I know I should be excited, but I'm just not. Summer is now over, so that means less time to hang out with Grover. And frankly, school's interfering with my sleep schedule. But, blueberry pancakes are my favorite. "Okay Mom." I said.
After my shower, I ran into the kitchen, inhaled my blueberry pancakes, and then grabbed my backpack. "Have a good day, Percy." my mom said.
We live only a half a mile away from my school, Goode High. While I was walking to school, I noticed hundreds of kids hanging out in the school parking lot.
The upside of going to Goode is that Paul Blowfis, my mom's boyfriend, is a teacher here. He's one of the nicest people I know. So his class should be interesting.
I finally reached the front entrance. I pushed open the door, and saw kids standing by their lockers talking.
All of the sudden, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Percy!" I heard. I turned around. It was Grover. I instantly smiled. "Grover, how have you been?" I asked. "Great! Are you excited?" he asked. I nodded. "I admit, I am a tad bit nervous, but I'm sure it will be awesome. Just think. We're now officially high school students!" I said. It was now Grover's turn to smile.
"What are you planning on doing this year?" he asked. "I haven't really given it much thought. How about you?" "I'm going to finally ask Juniper out." Grover has had a huge crush on Juniper since the sixth grade. They've been really good friends, but Grover's always wanted to be more than friends. I admit, Juniper is gorgeous, and she's really friendly, but she's just not my type. "Good luck with that." I said.
After minutes of talking, we all heard the bell ring for first period. "See you later Perce!" Grover said. I waved goodbye as he walked to his homeroom class. I'm lucky that Paul is my homeroom teacher. He's nice, funny, and he can back me up if anything goes wrong.
I started to wonder what all will happen this year. Will I make any friends? Will my teachers be nice? How much homework will I have? Apparently I was paying attention to my surroundings because I ran into this girl in front of me and caused her to drop all of her books.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said as I bent down to help her pick up her books. After she got all of her books, she looked at me with her piercing, stormy grey eyes. "Hi, I'm Percy." I said. She smiled. "Annabeth Chase. You're new aren't you?" she asked. I nodded. "Is it that obvious?" She laughed. "It's nice to meet you Percy. Thanks for helping with my books. I'll see you later." she said, and walked off.
I decided I should probably get to class. When I walked in, I noticed that class had already begun. I also noticed that Annabeth was in the same class as I. When I walked through the door, Paul looked up and started to speak.
"Percy, you're late. Since it's the first day, I'll let it slide. Be on time tomorrow, though." Paul said. So much for him being easy on me… "Sorry Pau- I mean Mr. Blowfis. It won't happen again." I said sincerely as I could. He nodded.
Class went by so quickly that I don't even really remember what it was about. I was just so bored. After about four hours, the bell rang for lunch. Thank God, I'm starving!
After we got in the cafeteria, I grabbed a trey and discovered that we were having pizza today. I grabbed a slice, and grabbed a bottle of coke. I started to walk towards my table when I started thinking of that girl again. What was her name again? Annabeth? Then I felt someone run into me.
"I'm so sorry!" she said. It was her again. "I was listening to my iPod… wait, you're Percy. Is this some kind of sign?" she asked. I laughed. "It's a sign that we're both clumsy." I said. Now it was her turn to laugh. "I'll see you later." I said, and walked to my table.
Grover was sitting beside me. "How's your day so far?" I asked. "It's been great." he said. Apparently he was too busy eating his pizza. "Did you ask out Juniper yet?" I asked. He nodded no. "I will at the end of the day." he answered. "You're still coming over after school, right?" I asked. He nodded no. "I'm going over to Juniper's. That's when I'm going to ask her out. Sorry I can't make it." he said sadly. I nodded.
After about thirty minutes, we both had to get back to class. I heard a ring in my pocket. Cell phones and other electronics are banned from school. I'm surprised Annabeth wasn't caught listening to her iPod. Not wanting to draw any unwanted attention from the principal, I pulled it out.
It's a text from my cousin Thalia. She's really nice, and we've both been very close since we met. We tell each other everything. She's like the sister I never had. I started to read the text. "How's your day so far?" it read. I started to text back. "Good so far. How's-" I stopped texting when I felt myself run into someone.
"Sorry, I was just- Are you kidding me?" I asked smiling. It was Annabeth again. Annabeth and me both started laughing. "I guess you're right. It's a sign." I told her. After we finally recovered from the laughter, she started to walk away.
"Hey wait!" I yelled. She turned around. "I've got nothing to do after school today. Do you want to maybe come over?" I asked. She smiled. "Sure, it beats having to deal with my younger brothers. Where do you live?" Annabeth asked. "311 Jackson street. It's not far from here. You can't miss it." I said. "Okay Percy, I'll see you after school." she said, and walked away.
I went to all of my other classes. I barely paid any attention at all, as I was excited for Annabeth to come over. She seems really nice. And plus, I just need someone to talk to.
After school was out, I grabbed my backpack, and headed out the door. "Hey Percy, wait up!" I turned around to find Annabeth running towards me. "I'm glad I caught you. So, are we heading to your place?" she asked. I smiled, and nodded. Then we both excitedly started walking towards my house.
Sorry guys if you liked the old "High School Romance." I deleted it because I needed to change it. I made it to where Percy and Annabeth instantly like each other, but I decided I want them to be friends at first, and then as they grow cloder they can start expressing their feeling towards one another. And if you liked "High School Romance", then I'm happy to say that JFritz is continuing it. He sent me a pm asking if he could, andI said yes, because I want to see how the story turns out. So if you wanted that story instead of this one, you should look him up.
