Mortals Meet Percabeth

A/N Whoops, another reference............Ah, well, I couldn't resist. So I wouldn't have published until Saturday or Sunday, but I now have 50 followers and this story has over 1k reads, so I thought I'd publish a little earlier. I know those numbers might not seem like a lot to you, but they are to me, so thank you to my reader, voters, and followers. Anywho, enjoy Human Beans! Also, this one is super cliche. Whateva.

My friends and I walked through the hallways of Golden Gate High School, heading towards the Algebra Class that we we all hate but our parents are forcing us to take. The teacher is Ms. Kerr. She's pretty nice, so long as you follow the rules. She is kind of strict though, I get why some people don't like her. We slide into our seats, still talking merrily, as the bell rings. When Ms. Kerr starts talking, we fall silent as she greets the class. "Hello, everybody. Today, we will be learning more about inequalities in algebra! Get out the work booklets I handed out last class, please. Turn to page 13. We will be-" She is cut off by the sound of a phone ringing, the tune echoing throughout the classroom.

You know how I mentioned that Ms. Kerr is kind of strict? Yeah. Well, one of her rules is that is your phone rings in her class, you have to answer it, and you have to put it on speaker phone, so everyone can hear. 

Everybody looks in the direction of where the sound is coming from. It's from a girl with blond curly hair - I'm pretty sure her name is Annabeth. It surprises me, because I'd never pegged Annabeth as somebody who would leave her phone on in class. I'd always thought she turned it off so nobody could call her or whatever. (A/N Sorry people. I don't have a phone. I don't know how it works.) "You know what to do, Ms. Chase," Ms. Kerr directed. Annabeth grabbed her phone from her cross-body bag. It was sleek and shiny, and had an M on the back. A knockoff of IPhone maybe? But it looked way too expensive and high-tech to be a knockoff. She answered the call and put it on speakerphone. "Annabeth, thank the Gods," a masculine voice said. "Hi Percy. What's going on? You know I'm in class.......And before you say anything, you're on speaker phone. Class rule," Annabeth responds. "I know, but it's kind of an emergency. I'm currently fighting off two kólasi on the way to your school." (Hellhounds) Annabeth seems worried at this. What are kólasi? "Okay, where are you?" "Right outside your schoo-oh styx, scratch that. The kólasi just busted the front doors." "Okay, I'm coming. Be careful, Seaweed Brain." Seaweed Brain? What is that all about? And is she just leaving in the middle of class? "I'll try, Wise Girl.  I love you." "Love you too." 

Ms. Kerr doesn't like the sound of Annabeth leaving. "I'm sorry, Ms. Chase, are you going somewhere?" Annabeth is about say something when the door bursts open and two black poodles (hellhounds) burst in, barking and growling. Annabeth says something in another language. It sounds like she's cursing, but I wouldn't know. It's all greek to me. "Apparently not, Ms. Kerr." A boy - a man, really - is suddenly at the door, yardstick in hand. Annabeth pulls out a ruler and nods to the man. They each start hitting the poor poodles with their respective measuring sticks. The poodles yip, and run out the door. (explode into dust) Ms. Kerr is extremely angry at that point, as am I. What did the poodles ever do to them?! Annabeth and the man share a quick kiss, but they seem to know anything more wouldn't be appropriate. Them kissing at all right now isn't appropriate!! That was animal abuse!

"What was that, you two?! Those poor poodles! I should-" Ms. Kerr begins angrily, but Annabeth cuts her off. "There were no poodles, Ms. Kerr," she says. Her voice seems weighted with something, some kind of magic. I try, uselessly, to remember what I was angry about. Annabeth continues. "And we were never here." She and the boy slip out the door. What was I thinking again? Ah, well. I turn back to my work booklet, turning to page 13 as instructed.  

A/N Well, it was kind of short, but oh well. Just wanted to say, I know demigods can't use phones, but in this, Leo and his half-siblings made monster-free phones. That's what the M stands for. Good? Good. That one had a couple of references in it. Speaking of references, I was so tempted to say "turn to page 394", but the work booklet wasn't that long. :( Ah, well. Hope you enjoyed! See you later, Human Beans!
