The Chosen One (Earth 7)

XXXIV) "My Lips Are Sealed."

POV PERCY

I woke up.. again.

I am a man of my word so I grabbed my glasses to wear and changed into my clothes.

"What's up with those?" Matthew asked.

"I'm blind, remember?" I said and he chuckled.

"Took you long enough to accept that."

"Yeah, whatever."

The glasses were casual but looked cool so it fit my uniform well.

I opened the door and walked out the common room with Matthew.

"Percy!" I heard someone say.

I turned around and was met with the girl from yesterday.

"Uhh.. hello." I said awkwardly.

"Hey," she wrapped an arm around my arm, "I'm so sorry, I didn't write my room number on the letter." She said.

I gulped, "About that-"

"I know, I also forgot you were dyslexic, you can tell me your answer now." She smiled.

"Uhh.."

"We have to eat." Matthew said quickly, "He gets grumpy when he's hungry."

"No problem, I'll join you." She said.

She was pretty, but touchy too.

"Uhh.. okay.."

She kept her arms wrapped around mine and I walked to the great hall awkwardly.

"You look so good with glasses." She said.

I gulped, "Thanks."

The others spotted us and raised an eyebrow at us.

"I'll sit over there." She said, waving at me flirtatiously.

"How did that happen?" Ron asked.

I groaned, "I have no idea."

Thalia laughed at my uncomfortable situation.

Annabeth gave me a small smile as I pushed the glasses up my nose bridge.

"Are those why she's here?" Harry asked, "Are glasses that attractive?"

"Are they?" I asked, removing them, "They better not be."

"Is she your girlfriend?" Hermione asked.

"I hope not." My eyes widened as I looked over at her.

"Why? She's pretty." Ron said.

"Pretty and likes me? Yeah, nothing's that perfect." I said, "Maybe she's mocking me?"

Annabeth shook her head, "You're an idiot."

I pouted.

"What're you gonna do?" Matthew asked.

"I don't know.. how am I supposed to reject her?"

"By saying no?" Harry said.

"Yeah, but.. it's awkward when you have to do it in person."

"Well, you still have to eat, if you survive, we're walking to class together." Thalia said.

I nodded sadly, "Gods help me." I muttered, walking over to my seat with Matthew.

Daphne immediately sat near me, "Hey." She said.

"Hello." I said looking at my food.

"I don't like your friends, they're Griffindor." She scrunched up her nose.
