Percabeth Mortal Meets

Jack Fullrose (Part 2)

A/N: Okay so I'm not going to do the full disclaimer or anything anymore because I'm too lazy and don't have the time. Anyway, here's Jack Fullrose part 2!

I was mad. Mad at Percy, for stealing Annabeth from me. Mad at Annabeth, for not going to the authorities. Mad at the school for not recognizing that Annabeth was in trouble. She should be with me, not Percy. 

I sat down at my desk in Greek and was sweating already. It was so hot in Ms. Weis' classroom! She really needed to get AC. Annabeth sat down in front of me, and Percy took a seat next to her. I smirked. Percy was sitting in Thomas Kane's usual seat. Thomas was the school bully, and was always trying to get Annabeth to go out with him. The guy obviously doesn't see that she's already taken. By me of course. Anyway, Percy was probably going to get beat up by Thomas. He deserves it, I reminded myself. He's hurting Annabeth. Ugh. If only I had proof.

Ms. Weis took attendance (sadly, Thomas wasn't in class) and announced that Percy was a new student. Percy introduced himself to the class and the teacher asked him how much Greek he knew. 

(Greek is in italics)

Does the teacher really know Greek? Percy said, turning to Annabeth. I strained my ears, trying to translate what they were saying, but my mind couldn't process their words fast enough.

No, she gets all the stuff from the internet and doesn't remember any of her lessons.

Oh okay.

Why do you ask?

I was wondering how much we could talk about.

Why would we—

Nico got attacked by a hellhound on the way to my apartment. My mom found him in an alley on her run this morning. He's been unconscious since then. 

Did you call Will?

Yeah, but even he hasn't been able to do much. Nothing's working. Nectar and ambrosia have only healed so much and we can't give him a ton at a time.

What do you mean?

We gave him a ton. We're lucky he didn't burst into flames. All of his cuts are gone, but some bruises won't go away, and he hasn't moved since my mom found him.

Oh gods. What if it's something mental? What if—

"Okay you two," Ms. Weis finally said. "Today we will get started on a project on Greek Gods. You will work in pairs and do the entire project in Greek. Please put the translation below your words and make it as neat as possible."

I looked over at Annabeth hoping to meet her eyes. If I could be her partner for this project, I could go over to her house and get her alone. Then I'd ask what Percy's been doing to her. I was too busy planning however, when Ms. Weis announced to pick partners. I was the last one left. "Jack," Ms. Weis said. "Please pick a group of your choice. There will be a threesome since there is an uneven amount."

I walked over to Annabeth and (sadly) Percy. It wasn't getting Annabeth alone, but maybe I could    tell her to come to my house early. No, not if we went to her house. Then maybe I could go early? I smirked, knowing that my plan would soon fall into action. Ms. Weis started going around to each one of the groups, giving them their assignment. 

I turned over and noticed that Annabeth was sweating. Like really sweating. "Why don't you take your hoodie off?" I said reaching for the fabric. "You're sweating like crazy!" She slapped my hand away. "It's not that hot." She said. I started to roll my eyes but then I realized that wouldn't be very boyfriend-like of me. Instead I said, "Fine, but if you get heat stroke, it's not my fault." I laughed at the end of the joke and she gave me a small smile. Nailed it!
