Mortals Meet Percabeth

Nancy Bobofit

I had expected it to be a normal day at school. You know, pushing kids into fountains and stuff. But as I walked down the entrance hallway I heard whispers about some new kids.

"Nancy!" I heard my friends call."Yea?""I heard there was some really hot guy coming to our school today""Oh really? Well I guess it's time for a new challenge anyways, all the guys in our grade are pretty much begging for me"They all nod in agreement as they should. But when I finally see the new kids and I think the boy looks kind of familiar. And then it hits me. Percy. Jackson.What happened to the scrawny little kid with the crippled best friend? He grew like 10 inches since we were 12. He stood at about 6 feet tall and his arm was around a girl who, I admit, was pretty but obviously not as hot as me."Omg I know him!" I tell my friends."Really?? Go talk to him!"My plan was simple, go up to him, flirt with him, make him ditch the blond bimbo, and replace her with me."Hey Perce""How do you know my name?" He says while turning around. The second he saw me realisation flashed through his eyes."Nancy?""Miss me?""Are you crazy?" He says, "Wise girl this is the Nancy Bobofit I told you about""Aw you talk about me?" I say while gently touching his arm.He raises an eyebrow at me and pulls his arm away."Ohhhh the crazy one who bullied Grover because he has crutches?" She says loud enough for everybody to hear and people start to whisper.I laugh nervously "Well, that was a long time ago I've changed!" "Sure you have," He says while walking away.

As the day went on the focus was no longer on me. I even heard people say that the new girl is the hottest person in our school. How do they have the audacity. I am the hottest girl here! Not her! I learned her name was Annabeth and she was apparently Percy's girlfriend. Well not for long... And so I planned to show Percy that his girlfriend is WEAK and he should be dating me instead. I formulated a plan that I was going to pull of tomorrow.

The next day at school I watched as Annie entered her locker combination and when she left I opened it and placed the school's 'pet' tarantula in her locker. At lunch I watched as she opened the locker to collect her books for the next lesson and the second she saw the spider she froze in the middle of getting her books. I started to record the whole thing and laughed from around the corner. Suddenly I hear an ear-splitting screech and see Percy dart to go help her. No, no, no! This is not how it was supposed to go! But as the spider begin to slowly crawl up, Percy smacked it off her arm and it flew straight onto my face. I screamed but instead of someone coming to help me, they started laughing! Even my own friends were to scared of the dam tarantula to come close. I tried to throw it off my face but ended up slapping myself instead. When I finally managed to get it off I see Annie crying in Percy's arms. Ugh! What does this girl have that I don't? 

Over the course of the next few days I see guy after guy approach Annabeth to ask her out and during that time not a single guy even came within a meter of me. She was ruining my life! And so I decided to end it once and for all during PE. We were playing dodgeball and when the ball finally ended up in my hands I threw it as hard as I could at her but she caught it! When she threw it back at me I went dizzy and fell. The last thing I heard was her saying "Oh come on! I didn't even throw it that hard" Liar.

When I came to I was lying down at the nurses office and I saw Percy standing there. He came to see me once he saw what a maniac she was! Ha! My plan worked! "Can you stay away from my fiancée please?" He says with his eyebrows crossed as he was glaring at me with a look that could send someone 6 feet under.

"You-your fiancée?"

"No shit Sherlock" I hear from behind me as Annabeth walks out from the bathroom.

I look down at her hand and see a glistening ring on her finger as she walks towards Percy.

"Look Nancy, I don't know what I ever did to you to deserve this" she says.

"You're ruining my life!"

"She's ruining your life because she's everything you wish you could be? Cause she's smarter, and prettier, and more athletic and you're jealous?" Percy says.

"N-no..." I say hesitantly.

"Just because someone is getting more attention than you doesn't mean that you have to go crazy and suddenly try to ruin their life" He says, "Besides, it's time people stopped being obsessed with you it's just enlarging your already huge ego."

"Get over yourself Nancy" Annabeth says as they both exit the room hand in hand.
