The New Girl (AU)

Finally

        (Tuesday Morning)

       I woke up Tuesday morning with the smell of bacon in the air. I smiled then walked down stairs. Hellen was at the stove cooking and my dad was at the table reading the newspaper and drinking ice tea. It was oddly quiet in the house so I figured that the twins were still in bed. "Good morning honey your breakfast is on the table. I would eat it soon so it doesn't get cold." Hellen said. I thanked her then started eating. I got a text from Percy seeing if I needed a ride to school. I agreed and headed upstairs to get ready.

      Right as I finished putting my hair up in a pony tail I heard a nock at the door. I knew it was Percy so I hopped down stairs to answer it. To my surprise it was Thalia at the door. "Hey Annie, I made Percy stay in the car so I could get you!" Thalia said smiling.

      "Don't call me Annie. Did Percy get a new car?" I asked. Thalia moved to the side and I got a look at the car behind her. I saw a black Jeep Wrangler just like the one Percy said he wanted to get. I said bye to my parents before walking to the car. I was surprised to see it was full of people. In the car was Percy driving, Jason in the shot gun seat. In the back was Nico and Thalia. I sat by Thalia and gave her a smirk when I realized that her and Nico were holding hands. She blushed and looked away.

     "Hey Wise Girl! Glad you could join us in my new car Blackjack."Percy said smiling. I rolled my eyes.

     You really named your car Blackjack. That name is so lame!" I said laughing. Percy pretended to be hurt.

     "That herts Wise Girl that hurts. I might just have to leave you on the side of the road if you don't apologize to me and my car right now. And you could walk to school..." Percy said smirking. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

     "Sorry Percy's car. I did not mean to hurt your feelings." I felt so stupid talking to a car. Percy grinned approvingly and started driving to school.

              ~~~~~~~

     "So when did you and Nico hook up?" I asked winking at Thalia during Chemistry. She blushed and looked down.

      "Well sense prom. He asked me when dropping me off." She said blushing. I was so happy for Thalia. She and Nico seemed perfect for each other. "Did you know Hazel and Frank are now dating!" Thalia added. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Everyone had a boyfriend but me. What if Percy doesn't like me in that kinda way. What if he thinks of me as only a friend? I thought about that question all day.

     During Greek I was to busy thinking about that I didn't realize Percy was talking to me. "Wise Girl are you in there?" He said nocking on my head. My head snapped up.

     "Sorry I kinda zoned out a little." I said looking at my desk.

      "Are you okay? You've been sort of out of it today. Is everything okay?" Percy asked with concern in his eyes. He looked adorable when concerned.

      "Yeah I'm fine." It would be better if you would just ask me out already. I added in my head. "What was it you were saying before?" I asked trying to change the subject.

      "Oh I was thinking that after school you could come over to my house and I could teach you how to swim... after all you do need to pass a swim test to be able to graduate." He added. I thought about it for a minute. I really didn't want to get wet, but I knew Percy was right. I did need to know how to swim to graduate. As stupid as it sounds.

     "Fine... as long as I pass the swim test. How will you teach me if you have a boot?" I asked. Percy smiled.

    "My mom got me a water proof cast so I can at least stand in water."
