It Takes Time

I got detention with someone else (Percy POV)

Leo turned to me with his eyes wide open and a smirk on the face.

- Looks like we have a little miss independent here! 

I laugh at him.  He has a sort of look like he is two years younger than me and he's attitude and high don't help. I looked up from his head in a discreet way.  I didn't knew if it was only me but I think that I and the blonde girl had a moment or something.  When I saw her grey stormy eyes I petrified. There were so different from the other girls. They were  some kind of intelligent  and sweet, serious and kind. What am I thinking?! I only saw her this once.

-PERCY!! Come back to Earth please!!

I woke up. Leo was in front of me looking like he could start laughing at any minute.

-What?

-Dude, you completely froze while I was talking!-he looked back and saw the girl walking in the crowd-Oh I see!

Then he blinked. I gave him a little punch on his arm.

-C'mon,  lets get out of here!

We started walking when the bell rang.  I was really not in the mood to have History, but I have to take it.

Me and Leo got different hallways. I put my hood so that I wouldn't be recognized. The girls from this morning were enough.

When I arrived at the classroom, I looked around and my eyes found others that I have just seen a couple of minutes ago. Grey stormy angry daring eyes. What was that girl doing there?!

I entered the room and walked in her direction. She was reading.  At least it looked like she was …
I cleared my throat and started talking:

- Hmm… Hey!  I saw you a couple of minutes ago next to the lockers. Sorry if my friend and I were rude to you-

- You were - she said. Seriously, I was talking and she dares to interrupt me?!

- Well,  yeah … Anyway I was just wondering: I've been in this class since the beginning of this year, are you new here?

She suddenly closed her book and looked at me with her eyes super angry and glared at me. Dam she was scary!

-How do you even dare asking me that?!  Yes mister I've been here since the beginning of this year,  but I was in the corner of the front next to the window.  But since Miss Drew Tanaka got herself a new boyfriend which happens to be in this class I got to change! Now may I please continue my reading?

I made a little smile.  That girl didn't like me.  That's something new. And as a boy there's some times within me some sort of urge to irritate girls. And I was in the mood to do it now.

I went to my sit.  I knew what was going to happen now.

-What in Jane Austen's name are you doing?- she turned back at me.

-Excuse me, but this is my sit, not that I like it. Perhaps a little table in a corner from the back next to the wall,  but I guess that dyslexia and ADHD don't help people getting their dream's sit.

-You know you don't have to say all of that when you could have simply said: "This is my sit"?

-I like talking! Problems with that?

-If you don't talk to me no. If you do, then yes! Now please shut up. Mrs. Cameron must arrive at any minute.

And she was right. Mrs. Cameron arrived 3 seconds after what she said. Did she had a sixth sense or something?

The teacher started talking but I was too bored and sleepy to hear her. And I already knew that I couldn't talk because every time that someone dared doing it, they had to go to detention. Believe me,  I have enough experience to say it. But mistakes give us experience to do it right the next time. So lets have some fun with the blonde girl.

I started by touching her shoulder like I was calling her for something.  That was pretty fun. I could tell by the the sound of her pencil while she was writing. She was getting mad. I liked it!

Suddenly she turned around with a super angry face:

-Will you please stop doing that?! - she whispered - 'Cause I really want to be focused!

- Miss Chase! -it was Mrs. Cameron. Apparently she heard her and that was not good at all! The girl turned around and said:

- I'm sorry Mrs. Cameron.

- Well you should be! - Mrs. Cameron grabbed a pen and a detention paper - Because at precisely 17:30 after school you are going to detention - she putted the paper right in the middle of her table.

Poor girl, and all because of me! No it was not fair! I stand up.  All the eyes of the class were right on me. Even those special grey eyes! She was with some sort of expression like "What the hell are you doing? "

- Mr. Cameron,  the only reason  she talked was because I pissed her. I'm the one that deserves detention, not her.

- Mr. Jackson, thank you for your honesty, but Miss Chase had a choice. She could have simply make no scene,  but instead she decided not to - she grabbed a pen and a detention paper.  Oh no! Not again. I had swimming practice after school! - but as you are so into defending Miss Chase,  then you will be very welcome to detention after school with her.

After that, the rest of the class was just pressure and more pressure. It was like I could feel the vibes that girl was sending me!

Seriously what have I done to her? Besides giving her detention and making her mad... BUT SERIOUSLY?!

When the class finally finished, I turned to her. Everybody had already left.

- Sorry about that. I didn't meant to put you in detention.

- You made me go to detention for the first time in years! And now you expect me to apologize?! - she said with any angry look.

- Well...yeah...kind of... But wait, wait, wait... Did you just said this was your first in detention in years? What are you a nerd?

- Yes, I am - she answered with a proud face.

I made a shocking face. What kind of person says that he or she is a nerd with pride?!

While of those thoughts were going through my brain, she started to walk away. When I realized I asked:

- Hey, um... You didn't tell me your name!

She turned around and looked right into my eyes.

- Annabeth Chase.

- Nice to meet you my lady. I'm Percy Jackson - and then I bound to her. Just to make a joke.

- I can not say the same thing to you Mr. Jackson - and then she passed the door. A second after she came back with her face super red. - And I'm not your lady. I'm not a lady even. I'm not and I will never be.

And then she turned away.

Seriously, what's her problem?!
