Percy Jackson One-Shots

Would I be friends with these characters in high school (PJO)

(Read this in the context that I'm Percy and Annabeth's age, so the age differences are all the same for me and the younger characters, these are also headcanons with a mortal au context)

Percy Jackson-

Absolutely. And I would definitely have a crush on him (but I'd respect his and Annabeth's relationship obviously). His personality is relatively similar to mine (since he literally shaped my childhood lol) so we'd get along most of the time, but I feel like we'd be a bit like Thalia and him...in terms of us butting heads. But his snarkiness and sense of humour is really similar to mine. And we both have similar values and hobbies. He'd definitely laugh at me while I tried to skateboard but then help me up when I tripped. In school I'd probably be that friend of his that pushes him to care more about it, but he'd just shrug me off and I'd get annoyed at him and we'd have a fight about it because I'm annoying like that.

Annabeth Chase-

In a perfect world we'd be sisters. (Since I'm a daughter of Athena) but in reality I think we'd be more rivals (especially if I'm writing this in the context of us being friends in high school). Annabeth had a super strong personality and she's definitely more stubborn than me, so I wouldn't be surprised if we both clashed more often then we got along. But I think based on our mutual friends we'd suck it up and deal with it. Also I think we'd get to a point where we're both struggling so much with school that we would band together instead of going for each other's throats and become friends through that. Also our shared love of knowledge would give us both brownie points in each other's books. (This kinda makes me want to write an enemies to lovers kinda thing with me and her but let's move on)

Grover-

Honestly I don't think Grover and I would talk a lot. If our paths crossed we'd definitely vibe because I have nothing against him. I'd definitely allow him to rant to me about his issues though because I know he's the type to be able to talk your ear off if someone gives them a chance. Apart from that a lot of our hobbies don't really intersect and secretly I'd kinda find him annoying but it'd be in a fond "I'll still deal with it" type of way.

Luke-

No.

I could leave it there but let's elaborate. Luke is definitely the type of guy who would use his looks to try and get you to see his side and then make you out as the bad guy when people start questioning you. He's also the guy that convinces you to skip class and then never turns up at the meeting place...but he has a great smile so somehow that makes it okay. Basically he's every red flag my best friends tell me to pay attention to, and it's a good thing I'm not into blonds or else I'd be in trouble. However I am into fixing broken people so it's a toss up. Regardless of my questionable taste, I probably would only like him for a couple of conversations before I realised our vibes don't align.

Nico-

Okay so I wouldn't specially be friends with Nico. But I'd definitely be a sister figure to him, and he'd be a brother figure. Especially with the age difference. And I think with my history of mental illness and my own internalised homophobia I'd be able to understand and relate to him in a way that's a little bit deeper than others. At least that's what I hope. Nico is a really special character to me, and despite his aloofness. I like to think he would let me in. And I'd listen to anything and everything and help in any way I could. Also we'd geek about Greek mythology and music because I feel like we'd have similar music taste.

Thalia-

I genuinely don't think I'm cool enough to be friends with Thalia. But I would wish really really hard. Since she's a year younger than me we wouldn't have classes together but since she's close with Annabeth I'd be blessed with her presence. Also she'd definitely terrify me, but I know she'd be there the moment I needed her because she'd do anything for the people Annabeth and Percy are close to. So if I texted her asking me to help me dye my hair at 10pm at night she'd be at my doorstep at 10:05 with a bottle of bleach and Annabeth on FaceTime telling me it's a bad idea but we'd do it anyway. The thing that would cause friction between us would be how strong and stubborn both of our personalities are; and my lack of friendship with her brother Jason.

Rachel-

I don't think Rachel and I would get along in school. But if I met her outside of school we probably would. Like I know someone kinda like Rachel irl (and her name is literally Rachel too lol) and I absolutely adore her but in school I don't think we'd really mesh right. We would just have very different priorities while there. Her headstrong personality and her ability to take nobody's shit would be absolutely my favourite part about her. She'd definitely text me whenever there was a protest happening and I'd support her at her art events just as she'd support me at any writing festivals. She'd be like my favourite mutual/acquaintance but never quite a friend because we never talk about anything deeper. Not for lack of trying but just a matter of us having schedules, hobbies and lives that clash. (Minor headcanon I see her as a theatre kid and she'd talk me into auditioning and I'd say yes because I'm not immune to pretty girls asking me to do things)
