In My Mind Is Every Word, That They Don't Wanna Hear

Of Wii's and donkeys

Percy Jackson:

"Good afternoon class. I know, this is your first day, but we are going to start a partner too see what we already know."

Groans filled the room as well as "It's the first day" and "can we pick our partners"

Mr. Brunner smiled, "No! You may not choose your partners. In fact, I have your partners right here!" he said cheerily, holding up a paper.

More complaints.

"Now, can I get a volunteer.....Juniper. Could you hand this paper out?"

Juniper Green, co-CEO of the gardening club, and my best-friend Grover's long time girlfriend.

Juniper smiled and started handing out the papers.

"Now class, you and your assigned partner will both need to choose a Greek hero or God of your choice and write an essay about their relationship, according to the Greek myths," Mr. Brunner explained while Juniper was handing out the papers.

I looked at the list of assigned partners:

Katie and Travis

Conner and Piper

Luke and Nancy

Nico and Thalia

Nini and Leo

Calypso and Naolin

Jason and Will

Annabeth and Percy

The list went on, but I stopped when I saw my name. I was partnered with Annabeth? Sweet! I looked over to said girl who was laughing at something my cousin Thalia said.

Wow, her smile is so-No. This is not how the whole project is going. I need to calm myself

"Please, get together with your partner outside of school as much as you can. You may move next to your partner now. There is 15 minutes left of class. Socialize," and with that, Mr. Brunner enveloped himself in his Roman history book.

I got up and scooted next to Annabeth.

"Hi,"

She looked up at me, looking slightly surprised, and smiled.

"So..."

We sat in awkward silence for a while, until Annabeth spoke.

 "Um, we could meet at my house this afternoon to work on the project".

 I smiled and nodded.

Annabeth got out a piece of paper and wrote something down.

"Here's my address,"

"Well, We do walk the same route so..."

Annabeth face palmed. "Oh, right. Sorry." 

More silence.

A few minutes later, the bell rang.

"Well, see ya later Percy. Bye," Annabeth said hurridly.

"Bye.." but she was long gone.

So, the rest of the day, Annabeth was still the center of my thoughts.

'Maybe Junior year won't be so bad after all' I thought as I walked out of the school and headed over to where Annabeth usually waited before walking home. No! I am not stalking her for the last time!

"Hey Annabeth!"

The blonde angel turned to me and smiled, but it seemed forced. I walked further up to her.
