I met Percabeth

Med School

A/N Oh My God, what, I'm not dead? No way considering I've been absent on here for like 10 years!!! but no actually I am really sorry for that, I just had all my finals and if my time wasn't spent studying, it was probably crying in despair and after that I went camping and then up to my aunt and uncle's cabin with all their kids and I haven't had to wifi to update either; but I'm home now and I am really truly sorry about the wait. Also I'm aware that this isn't the Trouble Part 3 that a lot of you guys wanted but I do promise I'm working on that right now I just haven't had a lot of inspiration for that and I'm struggling to connect things but I have been surfing the dark abyss that is Tumblr lately and I've come across a lot of cute AUs and I really liked this one and it came really naturally to write so I figured I would update this is the meantime so there's not an even bigger break but I do promise I am working on Part 3 and it should be up sometime this month (hopefully). Anyways, enough of me talking, let's get on with the AU (there aren't gods in this so both are mortal, just a side note.)

Percy sighed and pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes, the coloured spots swirling around in front of him. He looked up and squinted in the dim light of the library, it was currently 1:30 am and he was still trying to memorize the list of different chromosome abnormalities that one could have. He looked back to his book and watched as the letters swam before his eyes; he would never remember all this stuff for his upcoming exam, but he needed to do well in med school. His mom had always told him how smart he was and how well he would do in school and all Percy wanted was to prove her right, but he couldn't, just couldn't. Not with this amount of information to remember and the late nights one after the other. Percy sighed again and closed his book, he would go back to his dorm, sleep and hopefully study some more tomorrow.

"Um, hey sorry but I think you dropped this." A voice stopped Percy in his tracks, he turned around and practically felt his mind empty of all conscious thought. Sitting at the table beside him was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen. She looked to be around his age 22, maybe 23, she had long blond hair that curled beautifully over her shoulders and bright grey eyes that were so interesting yet slightly intimidating at the same time, and she was holding his pencil.

"Um... uh yeah um... yeah thanks." Percy stumbled over the words, he felt as though his tongue had swollen up and he couldn't pronounce anything correctly anymore. How could he not have seen a girl as pretty as her? She must have entered after he sat down, back when he was too focused on gene mapping to notice.

The girl smiled still holding out his pencil, Percy reached forwards and grabbed it still unable to process any logical thought. "Hey I hope this doesn't sound creepy," she said. "But um I noticed you were studying Genetics over there, I'm majoring in Neuroscience but I think we both take the same intro anatomy class, Dr. Fitzgerald, right?"

Percy was sure he would've noticed someone like her in one of his classes, but he did have an intro anatomy class with Dr. Fitzgerald so he said. "Um yeah, yeah I think we do."

"My name is Annabeth." Annabeth stuck out her hand again but this time, she wasn't holding anything but an opportunity.

"Percy," Percy replied and grabbed her hand. "You also studying for a test?" he asked.

Annabeth sighed and looked back at her notes with despair. "Sadly, yes, and this counts for 20% of our grade and I'm afraid I don't know anything."

Percy laughed. "I feel you, I've been studying for so long I attempted to write something down with my coffee stirrer."

Annabeth laughed softly, she was even prettier when she laughed Percy decided. Her eyes lit up and she smiled softly while her laugh brightened the air around them. "Sit down Percy." she invited.
